Thursday night's game was a spectacle, but not the good kind. We'll review Chargers/Raiders off the top of today's podcast, but not because we can take many fantasy lessons from it, rather: it gives us a chance to look back on what will soon be ex-Charger head coach Brandon Staley's reign of error in L.A. We'll also look at the injury names for Week 15, play a festive listener mixtape, and then we'll look ahead and count down our fantasy first round for 2024 based on the information we have...

Here in December, we've reached possibly unprecedented levels of backup-quarterback madness, to the point where you might have to start one of these very unusual suspects in a fantasy playoff game. We'll discuss who you should chase, and who you should stay away from, and also give out some running backs and wide receivers outside usual starting range who might present you with Week 15's best upside. Let's talk ranks for Week 15, and then let's also preview Thursday night's gross...

What the what! The two Monday night games -- Titans/Dolphins and Packers/Giants -- were absolutely crazy, and certainly swung a whole bunch of fantasy playoff races. We'll dig into those games and talk about implications going forward, and then also discuss the rest of the Sunday Week 14 film with an eye toward building great lineups for the fantasy playoffs. Then we'll start the process of dealing with crucial NFL injuries by working the Week 15 waiver wire! Guest: Brandon Funston from The...

Justin Jefferson was back! And then he wasn't! We'll review tons of Week 14 game film to describe what you can't see in a box score, including Josh Dobbs's total incompetence. (Well, maybe you can see that in a box score, too.) How did D'Andre Swift look against the Cowboys? Which Chiefs RB should you invest in going forward? Is Lamar Jackson going to lift multiple receivers to fantasy relevance in your playoffs? We've got those stories and many more from Week 14. Go beyond the box score!...

Should you really go right back to using Austin Ekeler in a fantasy league where you need a win to get in your playoffs? How about Cooper Kupp? Is Ezekiel Elliot really an option? Should you sit Justin Herbert? We'll tackle all these questions and more as we look at our Week 14 ranks and think about lineup construction heading into the weekend. We'll also preview a gnarly-looking Patriots/Steelers Thursday night contest, and make our picks for the main slate of Week 14 in DraftKings. Guests:...

Then we'll spin it forward and talk about the players we're adding in the Week 12 waiver wire. Are there any running backs who can save us from our injured guys?

We'll review a whole mess of the Week 11 game film with an eye on potential help if you lost an important player on Sunday (or Thursday). Are the 49ers a wagon again? Can the Rams actually make noise with Matt Stafford back? Are Justin Fields and Kyler Murray looking reliable? Did the Jets finally bench Zach Wilson for good?...
