Chapter 1: What are the highlights from Week 14 of Fantasy Football?
Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright.
Welcome in. Monday, December 8th. The Fantasy Footballers Podcast. Mike Wright, Jason Moore, Andy Holloway. Back in the building. A Monday episode. We have one game left until your fantasy playoffs. But we're a year-round show, so you hang around with us, and we keep talking about football.
Yes, yes.
It's never too soon.
Chapter 2: What injury updates should I be aware of for the playoffs?
We're all monitoring all of our leagues, and some of us are fighting for the last spot in a couple of leagues. I was in the playoffs in the Listener League.
Yes, yes. Going into last week, you were a current playoff team. If the season ended in the Listener League last week, you're in the playoffs. So I'm like, what is my job this week? You just got to go 2-0.
Just go 2-0. We got the median in there. I just need to go 2-0. Did you go 2-0? Easily. Boom. Playoffs. Playoffs. Except not. Huh?
Chapter 3: Who are the top Fantasy Studs from Week 14?
Except not, because somebody behind me... Scored like more points than the system allows. Than reasonable.
Like an unreasonable amount of points.
And passed me in points because we had the same record. So now I'm sweating it tonight. I think I need, I still got a good shot. Okay, what's your situation? I need one of the teams ahead of me went 0-2, and so they're going to tie me in record. And they did not score many points. That makes sense. So they need Ladd McConkie to score like 17.
So you're anti-Ladd.
I'm anti-Ladd. Okay. And then I think we'll all three be three of the six spots in the Listener League playoffs.
That gives people, if one of us is the champ.

Chapter 4: Which players are the biggest Fantasy Duds this week?
then that's a whole other spot open and available for next year's Listener League.
That's it. That's it right there. And I think, Jason, you're in kind of a fight in one of our leagues trying to grab that last spot. There were like eight or nine teams at 7-6 or 6-7 in this league.
The most parity ever. Yeah, the league we play with Rich Eisen, that is... The whole season, all of the league was tied. Everyone's record felt like the exact same. I'm like, my team is really, really good, and I'm the same record as half the people in the playoffs, but I don't think I will get there in that one.
If people want to join us in rooting against Rich Eisen.
Oh, is that what we're doing?

Chapter 5: How does the recent NFL news affect Fantasy strategies?
Oh, yeah.
Look, simultaneously great friend and arch nemesis. Terrible, man. Of the show. Just the worst. Oh, wait. We're going personal. Because we love Eisen. We can do this. I have Cuge and A.J. Brown, and they will be facing off against Ladd. So Andy's anti-Ladd, and I have my two guys versus Ladd. It's just a heads up. Whoever scores more points will win. Oh, and it'll bounce him from the playoffs?
If Ladd does not outscore those two guys, then Rich Eisen will be out.
I can't get in the playoffs if Eisen's in, right? Right. So I need you to boot him so I can get in.
All right. So we're all really anti-Ladd tonight. Sounds so.
Your little lad is... That hurts.
My little bitty lad.
That hurts. We have our reactions to the weekend. There were some injuries that are going to have ramifications into the fantasy playoffs.
Dude, I was having such a good morning. I totally...

Chapter 6: What should I know about managing my Fantasy team for the playoffs?
Oh, we can make the playoffs. This is we might finish the year hoisting the trophy. And now I genuinely do not believe they make the playoffs. I don't think they ā They are the eighth seed right now. So they're not in the playoff. And they're not going to be better.
The tiebreaker ā Houston has the tiebreaker. Oh, man. The team's ahead of them, Los Angeles.
Tonight's a big game for Los Angeles. And for those who didn't hear, Daniel Jones tore his Achilles. Done for the year. The situation is ā Done for a year, really. It's insane because Daniel Jones was on a one year. Yeah, he's a free agent. They trade two first rounds because they know that we're going to lock up Daniel Jones as our franchise quarterback. The dude has no more money left.
He just tore his Achilles. It takes time to come back from that. Do you ā They'll pay him. That's what it will come down to.
Do you think they'll franchise him maybe? I think they'll pay him.
That would make sense. Now, that being said... It's tough for the ownership, for the team, for the fans. You're in such a weird, hard position.
The funny thing is he is a complete and open free agent, meaning if they don't franchise him, he can go out and when you say they'll pay him, if I'm Daniel Jones, I'm taking the money. I don't know how I'm coming back from an Achilles injury. I test the whole market, not just Indy, and I go... Hey, every team that needs a quarterback because he just showcased himself.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the latest injury news on player performance?
A franchise would make sense, but it's also like how soon are you going to be back? Is it going to be weeks into the season?
It is. The current timeline estimation is that he could potentially be ready for week one.
The hardest part about that is, one, part of his special sauce is running the football. So coming back from an Achilles injury and able to run, it's a tall task. Now, Kirk Cousins got a big check after his Achilles injury.
Yeah, but he was also much older.
That's what I mean. Like, he got a big check much older.
And look what that was.
No, I know. I know. Achilles, you don't want to mess around with him.
I would say Daniel Jones has made money. Like, do not forget he was a first-round pick, so automatically he's made a good amount of cash. Then he got that extension with the Giants. That was, like, real controversial.
So you're saying he doesn't have to take the bag to get the best situation.

Chapter 8: How can I prepare for my Fantasy playoffs based on this week's performances?
Stop backing up.
Mike said this forever. Stop it. Someone put a wall behind him, so he has to move. Just come up in the pocket. Ever, ever once seen him step up in the pocket. He has stepped up to run. If pressure's there and he escapes and goes forward, fine. Stop backing up. Outside of that, he's never once just taken that two steps forward in the pocket in his life, including college.
Yeah, and he's still a lot better than what they've had. Yeah. So we'll see. I hope he's great. I think it would be fun for all my sports cards.
All right.
We're getting into Monday Ponday. You submitted them. We're going to read them in a sophisticated way. News. We'll start with the good, and this is part of the Shador game.
Harold Manning Jr. Oh, yeah. Harold Fantastic Jr. What about it? Bazooka Nakua. Yeah, baby. Or Pooka Nuclear. Oh, how about my star of the week, Michael Thrillson?
He's so good. That situation has to be investigated. What is happening there for malpractice? We got Freako Collins.
And Christmas Watson. Oh, baby. I'll take the boom boom here.
Brandon Doggery. He's really good. Me and B-Cat got to the playoffs because of Brandon Aubrey on one of our teams. Doggery. Doggery, sorry. Blake, score him. I was hoping I wouldn't get stuck with this one. I-cor-um-ba.
