Jason beats Papa Josh but misses the playoffs when a roughly 400-point underdog wins elsewhere. Al's team causes the elimination; Al calls himself the hero who spared the league, presses his own applause, asks that the record show who did it, and admits the self-dunk. Jason later names the Pittman non-trade and benched Gabe Davis as the five-point difference.
A free Foot Clan giveaway pairs a signed Travis Etienne jersey with Footballers swag. When the hosts discuss signing the merchandise, the wording makes it sound as if Mike might sign Etienne's name; the desk answers that a certificate proves the jersey is authentic.
The recurring sophisticated ritual celebrates Heaven Ingram, Isaiah Lovely, David Winchoku, Scorland Sutton, Cooper Yup, T. Debo Samuel, and Rashish Rice, then condemns Patrick Mac Jones, Jared Blarf, Justin Hurtbert, Amon-Ra St. Brownstains, David Midgmery, Gabe Dufus, and others.
A third every-other-week zero in six games fulfills the December 8 promise to crown Gabe Davis the Goose King. His boom-bust cycle becomes an ice-cream street magician who offers a delicious cone and pulls it away; the Dud review repeats the crown after another forty-plus-route zero.
A host says 'ligments,' is corrected, and then rationalizes the missing syllable: when ligaments are broken, a piece is missing, so the shortened word describes the damaged version.
Andy's Jets Almost Upset hits while his Carolina selection fails. When the Panthers are named, Andy says he would never make that choice, and the desk answers that the record belongs to him.
While discussing players who walk off injuries, a host says dehydration alone would put him on the cart, then upgrades a near collision and simple thirst into another immediate cart request.
Mike wants any backup stuffed after McCaffrey is tackled near the goal line, knows Arizona is next, and says he will spend $12,000 on CMC in his DraftKings lineup. Direct video identifies Mike at the right microphone for the price line.
As Jason softens into an Arthur Smith apologist, another host says he would like to vote Jason off the show; desperate times are given as the justification.
The hosts ask Kyle to chime in if he can find Rashod Bateman's target total, and the immediate off-camera answer is four. Video remains on the three-host desk.
The desk learns that a touchdown plus the same player's two-point conversion is called an octopus and reluctantly accepts the eight-based name. Chris Collinsworth's use of heater then prompts the hosts to claim he stole their word because they overused it for one show; their words are said to be on a heater.
The show introduces the Duds with 'Pooped in his big boy pants.' The published video genuinely displays the green host-cutout title animation, then a close-up manure texture, before returning to the Christmas desk under a DUDS monitor.
After two poor games, the desk mocks Jason's Zach Moss love and suggests Moss may need Jason not to believe in him. Jason responds by declaring complete confidence under reverse-Tinkerbell logic, which the others call an attempt to kill Moss.
Complete review of all 41 storyboard sheets plus targeted direct-video frames shows Andy left in a bright aqua hoodie, Jason center in black with cap and glasses, and Mike right in black with a white Arizona cap. The Christmas desk has lit tinsel, a large red bow, figurines, mugs, a DeLorean model, and a black Fantasy Footballers helmet. No Jay Griz name, drop, image, cardboard cutout, physical bear, missing host, Listener League detail, or Megalabowl detail occurs. The episode opens on Jason's League of Record disaster: he beats Papa Josh, but a team outscored by roughly 400 points upsets the needed favorite, so the defending champion misses the playoffs. Al says he spared the league and is a hero. When the hosts request applause for Al eliminating Jason, the published edit cuts to the real neon DUCERS ALLEY row—Papa Josh left, festive-cap Brooks center, and Al right—while Al presses his own applause, tells the record to show it, and admits he dunked on himself. Jason later adds that the rejected Pittman trade or simply starting Gabe Davis in a five-point game would have put him in. A free Foot Clan giveaway offers a signed Travis Etienne jersey and swag, then jokes that Mike might counterfeit Etienne's signature despite an authenticity certificate. Monday Punday supplies Heaven Ingram, Isaiah Lovely, David Winchoku, Scorland Sutton, Cooper Yup, T. Debo Samuel, Rashish Rice, Patrick Mac Jones, Justin Hurtbert, Amon-Ra St. Brownstains, Gabe Dufus, and more. Gabe's third every-other-week zero in six weeks fulfills the prior promise to crown him Goose King; he becomes an ice-cream street magician who repeatedly offers a delicious cone and pulls it away. A second consecutive goose is confirmed near the close. Andy's weekly Almost Upset hits on the Jets but misses on Carolina, after which he tries to deny ever picking the Panthers and the desk invokes the record. Broken 'ligments' lose a piece of the word, and dehydration or a near collision becomes enough reason to summon the injury cart. Mike is visibly the host willing to spend $12,000 on CMC against Arizona while rooting for any backup to be stuffed. Jason's Arthur Smith apology makes another host vote to remove him from the show. The Borgogon supplies Bateman's four-target lookup from off camera. The desk accepts the touchdown-plus-two-point 'octopus' term but says Chris Collinsworth stole 'heater' because the Footballers overused it for one show and therefore own it. The Duds section genuinely uses the full-screen green POOPED IN HIS BIG BOY PANTS animation and a manure close-up. Finally, Jason tries reverse-Tinkerbell logic on Zach Moss—professing belief so Moss will thrive—only to be accused of trying to kill him.
It's Monday, so we're breaking down the studs and the duds and talk about guys, should you be concerned with them moving forward? Make sure you subscribe to this channel and enjoy the show. To the Fantasy Footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Oh, welcome in. The Fantasy Footballers back with you. Mike Wright, Jason Moore, Andy Holloway. Monday edition of the show.
Monday night football double header still to come. Lots of reactions from the weekend. This was definitely one of those weekends where we saw more bad than good, I would say. Yeah, I would definitely say that that is true. A lot of injuries, certain games finishing with three total points. I mean, you know, some there was some, there was some ugly, but there was also some surprise greatness that Baltimore. Yeah. Rams game in the bad weather. Yeah, rain games versus my analysis were the rain games won. Yeah, I mean, you had Zach Wilson perform very well as, you know, in the rain and the weather. I, you know, it's something to watch out for, but man, how do the Vikings stop the Raiders from scoring any points when the Chief's defense couldn't stop the Raiders from scoring in Arrowhead?
when people are playing the cheese defense. Any given Sunday. Yeah, the NFL algebra was, was broken. But that happens all the time. Well, it happens in fantasy football, too. For instance, I mean, just like hypothetically speaking, you know, you could do everything you need to do to beat, you know, one of the high scoring teams in the league to get in the playoffs and then you do it. And then someone else who's been outscored by 400 points by their opponent beats that guy and then keeps you out of the playoffs. Those things happen in fantasy football too. Hypothetically. Yeah, and I, look, I'm fine. Mike, I knew his head bob was insincere. Yeah. I knew his head bob was made up. He had a smirk. He's just, it was acting. Acting. Acting. I mean, um, yeah, shout out. Thanks, Papa Josh for scoring about half the points he scored against me. Yeah. Fantasy is brutal. It can be last week.
It was Nico Collins and Sam Laporta that scored like 60 points. This week they combined for what, four? I don't think they got there. Yeah, they might not have. I mean, we have all your reactions. Monday, Punday on today's show, news to talk about, more injuries to talk about. Fantasy playoffs coming up and it'll be a dependency on maybe 15 backup quarterbacks to provide value to their players on their squad. And then studs, duds on today's show as well. We have a giveaway going live today at footclang giveaway.com. A signed Travis E.D.N. Jersey along with a fantasy footballer swag pack, which will be some shirts. Oh, that's way better. Some gear. It's all together. Yeah. Are we going to sign some of that? Yes. I'm going to sign. I'm signing the E.N. Jersey. Oh, yes. We should all sign. E.N. and Mike. I thought he was going to say he's going to sign Travis E.T.N's name on all the footballer stuff. But.
Just like he did on the jersey. No, we have the certificate, Jason. Yes, it is authentic. It's super real. And he got into the end zone this week as well. So footclang giveaway.com completely free to enter. And just head over there if you'd like a chance to win that. We like to do some giveaways throughout the year. It is time to get sophisticated with this weekend's Monday, Punday, Reactions. Let's start with the good and let's start with the tight-in position like Heaven Ingram. Ooh. Or Isaiah Lovely. David Winchoku. And what would a weekend be without Scorland Sutton? Oh, this guy was back. Cooper, Yup. Or T. Debo, Samuel. And then Rashish. Rice. Yeah, he was good. But it wasn't all good. No, it wasn't. Sometimes there's...
You know, players like Clyde Edwards, who cares? Or Patrick Mac Jones. That's my favorite one I think I've ever seen. Patrick Mac Jones. Then there's Jared Blarf. Man, he stunk. And Justin Hurtbert. Aw. Yeah, yeah. Stefan digging my grave. What happened? I don't know. Ammon Rae St. Brownstains. It wasn't good. David Midgmery. Oh. Yes. And Gabe Dufus. Oh, Gabe. Gabe legend. We cannot. Gabe Dufus is real funny. We cannot besmirch what this man has done. I mean, it's incredible. Gabe Davis, you are. We said what if? Yeah. What if he goosed for a third time in six weeks? But every other week? Every other week. I mean, I'm telling you right now, start of the week this week.
I mean, are you kidding me? What a massacre to fantasy managers. It's a masterpiece. You can trust me. You can trust me. We did, it was this last week. Yeah, December 8th, we said he shall be crowned. The goose king. Yeah. If he comes through his zero points again. Do you think, I had this working theory today this morning thinking about Gabe Dufus. Oh, man. I was like, do you think that? NFL teams, you know, we're late in the season. They're preparing for their opponent and they just go and they watch last week's tape. And every time they watch last week's tape, they go, oh, this guy's important. We got to lock him down and they do. And then the next team goes, they watch that tape and they go, oh, that guy's completely uninvolved. He doesn't even catch the ball, doesn't get targets. We don't need to worry about him. They're always reacting to just the week before. 190, 80, 190.
Listen, they won. The Buffalo Bills beat the Chiefs. They did. They won. Stefan Diggs was four for 24. Didn't he have like 12 targets? And on the other side, Gabe Davis took advantage of that four for 24. Took advantage of the fact that Legerius Sneed was lined up against Stefan Diggs, right? Mm-hmm. To the tune of zero for zero. Incredible. He's a magician. You guys seen the... the video of the guys handing out the ice cream cones. Oh, where they never. But every time the customer goes to grab it, they like just pull it away. Yeah. But then they keep offering it and they're like, yeah. It looks so delicious. You want this, don't you? That's Gabe Davis. For sure it is. Oh my gosh. I can't believe he did it. I'm so happy and so sad. He's a street magician. That's what he is. I would never ever play him, thankfully. But I also miss the good stuff by doing that. Other people take a different route.
Hey, I won with them in my lineup. Yeah, that's impressive. That's true. News and notes from around the league. Presented by USAA insurance. More quarterback injuries. Justin Herbert fractured his right index finger undergoing an MRI today. Yeah, they play on. Yeah, that's fractured. They play on. I guess MRI was that ligaments? Yeah, you're going to see whether you need surgery or not on the finger. I'm guessing he will. He's not going to play this Thursday, at least not expected to play. Did you call them ligments? Yeah, I corrected myself. You took out the, eh? Ligments. Well, when they're broken, it's missing a piece. So it's a ligament. It's a ligament. You want ligaments. Sometimes you've got a ligament need surgery. Okay. All right. CJ Stroud, left with a concussion.
I mean, CJ Stroud had everything working against him. I don't blame the rain. No. You blame Tank Dell, Nico Collins being gone and the Jets great defense. And Alton Schultz being gone. Yeah. So three, a defense that shuts down wide receivers combined with no wide receivers combined with no tight ends. And let's just throw in the rain for good measure at least. Yes. But I don't blame it just because Zach Wilson. threw touchdowns in it. Yeah, he did. Nico Collins, this was huge news. Left of the calf injury did not return. A week after Tankdale goes down. There are certain situations this week that have transpired that have multi-week implications and are going to throw some shade on the players you've trusted for a long period of time, like C.J. Stroud. Even if Stroud is back, if he doesn't have those two players, you're going to have doubt. Herbert, if he's gone,
Keenan Allen's been a top five score in fantasy this year. Without Justin Herbert, you're going to have doubt this week. And for goodness sakes, if you picked up Joshua Palmer, just, you know, free him, free him right back. Yeah, right back to the meadow. I was going to say into the ocean like a whale. Like a turtle? Like an orca that's in captivity. You free them. Yeah, the issue with Nico Collins, if you remember, this is a reaggravation. He was dealing with a calf injury that kept him out week 10. Uh-oh. So the fact that he already had this, re-injured it, was ruled out very quickly early in this game, leads us to believe chances are he misses this week. I flew too close to the sun. Both almost subsets did not hit, but that one did. The Jets beating Houston. Oh, yeah. I was going to, oh, yes. You flew too close because you had two. Because I was going to say I.
I did put money down on the Jets because you're almost up. Oh, okay. So thank you. Yeah, you're welcome. I forgot what your other one was. Let's just forget it. Yeah, no. Who knows? Who knows? Panthers. I would never do that. Alex. Hey, for the record. That's on you, bro. That game was so close for so long. Yeah. And they had it in the red zone down seven to three. Yeah. And Bryce Young, I'm sorry. Dude, Frank Reich watching that game was, he had to be cackling. Like a maniac. Just his legs up on the ottoman. Jeff Saturday's like what I could have done this week. Listen, I tweeted it. People were angry. Very angry. I tweeted there, you know, it's tough to have no quarterback. It's even tougher to have no quarterback and be stuck with it. This is a Bryce Young tweet because I'm sorry. Like.
What you need to see, and everybody came back with Steve Young and Peyton Manning and all of these rookie seasons where they weren't that good, you need flashes, people. You need flashes. Josh Rosen is what you're getting in Carolina. You're not getting Peyton Manning the rookie. Didn't Peyton, I know Peyton threw, I think he was like one-for-one for interceptions, but didn't he also, like at the time break the touchdown rookie record? He was. Am I misremembering that? He had. 3,700 yards and 26 touchdowns. Yeah, that is. And he set five different rookie records. But no, he's the same as Bryce Young. Look, I understand being bitter and upset and wanting people to give you more of an opportunity. And I watch this team every week. That's our job. It's not all Bryce Young's fault. People have no understanding of nuance in the world. You can have.
a bad quarterback and a bad offensive line and bad wide receivers. That can be completely true at the same time, but it still includes a bad quarterback. His receivers do him no favors. They jump weirdly, like, you know, like a mingaroo, and, you know, they have a bunch of, they got Thielen, who's older, and then they have a bunch of drops. But he is missing NFL quality throws all the time. Over and over and over. Not aware in the pocket. He had mingo down the seam. You know, that wasn't Mingo's fault. Like wide open for a touchdown. Mingo was super open, just got out overthrown. I mean, you can say you don't bury a guy completely in his rookie season. No. But you can certainly see the signs and say he has a long way to go to bring your team any type of situation. And you're trapped. Yeah, well, it's going to be a really tough decision. They'll have the number one pick. And so they've got their. Oh, wait. Wait, that's right. They traded that pick away.
for him. They traded away for what we'll equate to like Caleb Williams, DJ Moore, a top 10 pick this upcoming year and then two seconds. And you are, that's what my point was is you're really stuck. Like if you have Derek Carr and you're the Saints and you spent that money, you're not stuck. You can eat the money and move on and the fans can accept that. You can't accept that in Carolina. And CJ Stroud makes it feel so much worse. If CJ Stroud sucked this year, we wouldn't feel like it's as devastating for the Panthers. When you did that trade to get ahead of them, you get to pick and you pick wrong. It's like, ugh, insult to injury. All right. Vikings injuries. Alexander Madison left early with an ankle, didn't return. He was playing very well. Looks to be a high ankle. It's almost the exact same injury. He had his rookie season. He missed three games then. Justin Jefferson left with a rib chest injury was literally the definition of a hospital ball. Yeah. And sent him to the hospital because he got lit up.
His chest. Yeah, he caught it. But right back out. Just in, just out. Yeah, it's one of those situations where this is going to be, I know it's called chest, but I think this is like ribs. And so they'll go to the hospital. I haven't heard whether they are broken or not. But what I was reading was that if they're broken, he will probably miss some time. If the results are that they're not broken, he could probably play this coming week. Last night I saw there was optimism that he will play this weekend. Going to the hospital doesn't guarantee you miss, just like Derek Carr a couple weeks ago. It also is going to be a tough situation for Jefferson because you have Joshua Pumpkin. Dobbs is, it's done. But then you've got Mollins or you've got Jaron Hall, and those are not confidence plays at wide receiver. And they're seven and six? Yeah, they're in the playoffs. With their dominating shutout victory. Josh Jacobs left early, right knee injury, did not return.
He was limping off pretty bad. We'll have to TBD there. Waivers will be important tomorrow. No cart? No cart? I did not see him on a cart. I think he walked. Yeah. Once he saw Lawrence. Tough guys. Tough guys. What if they just started doing that to be tough? Hey, it worked for Lawrence. That's fair. He walked it off. Like a baby. He misses this week. He was like other guys would take a cart. He walked it off. He just walked it off. Aaron Jones not expected to play. I'd be on the cart if I'm dehydrated. Bring it in. Bring it in. That guy almost hit me. I'm going to need a cart. I'm thirsty. Aaron Jones, not expected to play tonight. That was today's news and notes presented by USAA Insurance. Learn more at USAA.com slash insurance. Studs of the Week, presented by NFL Sunday ticket on YouTube and YouTube TV. You know, Jason, I was in the same boat. I saw you winning yesterday. Mm-hmm. And I had checked in on the other matchup that you needed to get into the playoffs. Early in the day.
And that team was favored by like 50. That team was favored by 50. That team has outscored the other team by 400 on the course of the season. And halfway through the day, it was done. You were going to go in. And I just had to beat Papa Josh. Yeah, which you did. Which I did. Yeah. But he did not make the playoffs. No, you didn't. And then the other team, I mean, when they have stars like Drake London, Isaiah likely, you were doomed. Yeah. I can't believe it. It didn't work well. The champion. So back to back is not happening. The champion will not repeat. And I can say, I mean, Al, you're in this league, Mike. We're all heartbroken that you didn't have the chance to go back to back. Thanks. You're feeling sad, right? Not at all. You better. You're the reason I'm out. Your team. Oh, I hate you. I spared the league from.
from whatever you would. Yes. Yeah. I was a hero. Can we get a round of applause for Al Borland for eliminating? Hit for yourself there, Al. There we go. Yeah. Al Borland everybody. Down goes the champ. Let the record show. I hit that button. Oh. Hey, good for you. I dunked on myself. You did his job for him. Yeah. Yeah. It's okay. The most important league, Mike. Yeah. Yeah. We're still alive. Yeah. Do the tears run down your face every time you say most importantly? They get close. They get close. All right, studs this week, Lamar Jackson. 24 for 43, 316 and 3. This game was really entertaining to watch because Lamar just, he just bounced around the pocket on every play, which let him take deep shot after deep shot. You know, Isaiah likely wide open. Beckham was great. Downfield. Lots of deep shots.
Zay Flowers was doing nothing, then he was doing everything. I mean, really had all the time he wanted, ran for 70 yards, dominated. Yeah, I mean, part of this was the reason Lamar did so well is because Stafford did so well and the Rams offense looked great. This was really truly back and forth. It was like lead change, lead change, lead change. Every time the other team touched the ball, they went down and scored and it was like, all right, our turn. It was awesome to watch. It was through the rain. It was with a good defense and there was just two teams really, really, really wanting to win. And the Rams looked so good to me on offense. I mean, this is a very good Baltimore defense at home. And they were not intimidated. There are people that lost CJ Stroud that may not have confidence in Stroud even with the return from the concussion. There are people that lost Justin Herbert. Yeah. Boy, do I have good news for you.
Matthew Stafford plays Washington. Well, that's what I was going to say. Matthew Stafford is, he's on my list of pickups in a league where I lost Herbert. Yes. And the weapons. He's got them all right now. Cooper Cup came back. Yeah, the next three is the Manders, the Saints, the Giants. 294 and 3. Pretty good stretch run for, and that means not only for Stafford, but for Pooka for Cooper. Pooka and Cooper. Weeks one through nine, Stafford had nine, passing touchdowns. Weeks 12 through 14, he has 10. He's been on fire. Just to speak to Lamar, this is the kind of, this is like the treat in the bread trail. Like the bread trail is starting to like, you know, you finally get to the point where there's almost no more bread. And you're like, I'm going to stop following this bread trail. And then there's a huge piece. And then you keep going because this is this highest scoring game since week seven. In between that time, 12, 11, 13, 2415. So those are the fantasy rank or the? No, those are the points. Oh, yuck.
12, 11, 13, 24, 15. So in that span, that's like an average, a very low average, fantasy points-wise, 15 a game, goes to Jacksonville, goes to San Francisco, and, you know, people just, you've got to play Lamar, but it's not a guarantee you get production. That's just basically the truth of Lamar right now. I would agree with that. I do think that the game against San Francisco in two weeks, if you're still in the playoffs and you've got Lamar, that one. to me looks great and Miami because those are two offenses that should be able to keep up like the Rams did. Mike, I think went four for four and starts of the week this week. I still got one more tonight. Oh, he went three for four. Yeah, he finished. He finished three for four because I forgot AJ Dillon. Justin Fields was one of Mike starts this week. Had a big game, 58 on the ground, a rushing touchdown, a passing touchdown. Now has to go to Cleveland. Oh, my gosh. The play. It doesn't feel great.
No, that doesn't feel great for next week. But the play of DJ Moore's touchdown, the receiving touchdown, simultaneously so amazing, great for fantasy, so infuriating because it was the dumb play of we're not going to do anything. We're just trying to draw you off sides, which is amongst my most hated things that people do in the NFL. Because no one falls for this. Stop doing it. No one's, of course. Of course Detroit falls for it, jumps off sides and gives them a free touchdown. You know, as funny is there was another one of those plays in the Dallas game, and it was on third down. It was third and nine, and they drew them off sides. And you know how everybody reacts when you draw them off sides. What do you hope the offense does? Just throw it deep. Yeah, but I started to realize on third down, that's stupid. That's really stupid. Because if you just chuck it deep.
and you fail on that play. Like you were calling a third and nine play to get a first down, right? Right. But if you just chuck it deep, which they did, and it was a meaningless throw, it went flying over somebody. You get a five-yard penalty, and then you've got to go third and four. You've got to run the play again. So if you had the chance to get the first down, you've got to take the chance to get the first down. I like it on first and second down. But on third down, I thought it didn't quite make sense. Or third and short. Or third and short where you get the first down. They didn't get it after that. So it was like, I'd still go for it. I was like, you wasted a chance to get it.
Um, Desmond Ritter, Jake Browning. Dude, the Jake, the Jake Browning was, I mean, it was great. He was a stream of the week. So it came through, but it was just, it was like, how can they not stop a screen pass? Yeah. What happened? It was just so much of his yards. It was Tanner Hudson standing over there on the side. Well, yeah, I mean. What a DFS play, Tanner Hudson turned out there was also a 54-yard screen past Chase Brown. Chase Brown, Joe Mixon had a huge, I don't think he scored on it, but it was a huge screen. It was, what are we, how can you not stop the screen? It is, yeah, Chase Brown is very fast. Very, very fast. Speaking of running back studs, we'll get to those in just a second. There wasn't a delightful pun, but he was mentioned.
A lot. And James Cook, 10 for 58 on the ground, 5 for 83 and 1 through the air. A lot of people just giving credit to the new offensive coordinator situation in Buffalo for using James Cook the right way. Well, and the way is in the passing game. I mean, seven targets two weeks ago, five receptions, six receptions, five receptions the last two weeks. If you are getting James Cook, the ball in space, also getting PPR points, he's going to be. very good for fantasy. You're talking the last three weeks under Joe Brady, the running back nine, the running back 17, and so far the running back two. Well, and for them to win the game with four total receptions between Stefan Diggs and Gabe Davis, Gabe had zero to be clear. It's got to involve Cook and Kincaid and some of these other weapons. Breece Hall, 10 for 40 on the ground?
But nine, that's pretty good for him. Nine targets, eight for 86 and one through the year. Of course. He has, he had a big week. And this is why I think when push came to shove, we just kind of said you had to play Breece, even though it was not exciting. I was so happy because earlier in the week, we were talking about, you know, who would you play? Because we were talking about what a good start Zeke would be. And then it was like, well, would you start Zeke over Breast Hall? And then eventually was like, no, you wouldn't. And then it was like, oh, shoot, that was, that was wrong because Zeke was, well, Zeke was the number one running back on the week, still outscored Breece Hall. But it was nice that. They were very close. Breece had himself a very, very big game. 86 yards through the air with a touchdown is fantastic. That's the way that they, this team needs to, like if you don't have an offensive line and you've got a supreme athlete like this, that's what you need to be doing. Get them the ball in space on the other side of the offensive line and then let him run. How about Dollar Store CMC?
who's almost to the CMC level. I mean, 25 for 102 on the ground for Rashad White, two for 33 and a touchdown through the air. The running back four on the season. I mean, his opportunities, guys, I don't have you seen this. The last two weeks, 25 and 27 opportunities. He's playing a snap percentage that is unbelievable. I mean, 87%, 84%, 87%. That's unheard of. That's every down. Christian McCaffrey type of stuff. And he's the RB4 on the year like Jason said. I would call him the generic Christian McCaffrey. Like not dollar store. Dollar store is like the cheap version. This is just like, hey, you don't have to pay name brand. Sometimes it's a good deal. Is it the generic, like the medications? Yeah, exactly right. I'm just getting store brand ibuprofen instead of Advil. Yeah, they work pretty much the same. They do. You know, maybe the placebo effects better on the name brand, but you pay more. It is. Joe Mixing.
Jason started the week. Also carried Jason to a win in this week's DFS battle, the faceoff. 21 for 79 and 1. Four targets, three catches. Looks great. Chase Brown getting more involved, but Joe Mix is still their guy. Sometimes it's nice to have a good change of pace back that can stress the defense like Chase Brown. Joe Mixon has looked really tough. He's been like doing the runs where you've got guys on your back and he's still moving the pile. Austin Echler, 10 for 51 and 1 on the ground. Seven targets five for 49 should be helpful in your playoffs. There was a play in this game that gave me ultimate hope. I watched. I was far away from my TV at the moment when it happened. It was a little dump off screen right over the offensive line. And then Echler ran really fast. Is that the one where he like fist pumped afterwards? Yes. Yes. And but I saw that. I was like, man, you are so happy to do, used to do all the time. I watched it from a distance. And I went.
Oh, who is that? Because that's not Echler. Like, that was fast. All of a sudden, I was like, I was like, is that, is that Spiller? Because Spiller's not that fast. And then I walked to the TV and I saw that three and that zero. And I was like, he's back, baby. And now Justin Herbert's gone. I was going to say, and they're playing for nothing. I'm surprised they didn't walk Brandon Steeley right out the building after the game. Like, I think with the Justin Herbert injury, they're just going to let him right out the season. He is gone. Oh, he's gone. He'd be, he be out.
