Coming to you from the Playdraft Studios with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Ah, it's Friday. And we are so awake right now. Oh, yeah, I'm just... There's one word. Bringing my A game. This is show 712 this week without Mike, and it feels like it's only the 70th.

Jay Gris has not been the help that we expect. I'm sorry to say, but it's, yeah, well, you know what? You're lazy. That's what it comes down to. He hasn't moved all week. No. And that's what's embarrassing. Mike will be back next week. That's what's embarrassing? Yeah, pretty embarrassing. Gosh, press the pause button, am I right? Welcome to the show. The fantasy footballer's back again, and then Jason.

in the house. I am fresh off of one of those exceptional dad life evenings. Now, let me preface this by saying, I love my children. So that always means a good story is about following. I love my children, but we are at the grade level with a kindergartner and a third grader where they have these winter concerts for the school. And there's a concert A, the first concert is kindergarten first and second grade.

And then there's concert B, and that's third through fifth grade. Ah, the old age split. Yeah, which means I get to go to two concerts back to back. Lucky. So I was gone for about four hours of listening to small children sing. And when my kids are on the stage, it's great. But that's only two of the six grades. Five minutes. Five minutes of the five hours. Oh, and it was great because my third grader, he's very funny, not.

He doesn't exactly love going to these things. And he's up on stage. And the music teacher is talking to the parents, the filled auditorium, and she's going, and these kids, they just love singing and they love everything about it. They've learned how to do this and that. And they just enjoy it so much. And he's up there and he's literally shaking his head left and right. Nope. And we get in the car and he goes, yeah, when she was saying that, I was just thinking, lies, lies, all lies. So it was very funny. So that was my evening. How was your evening? My evening. Well, hey.

You know what I did last night? I recorded... Now, this is just, you know, it's not official yet, but I believe the early reports are the best episode of all time.

of the fantasy footballer's DFS show, which just released this morning, Mike out of town, so I had to step up, take over that hosting gig. Oh, yeah, you hosted that show last night. So make sure if you haven't been listening to that, if you're, you know, maybe out of the playoffs, I had so much fun on DFS this week. So if you're playing Fandul, Draft Kings, Draft, if you just want to hear more of the dulcet tones of my voice. Yes, that's available for free. For free. For free.

Just search fantasy football. When you said you recorded it, I thought maybe like on DVR. Right. That's what it sounded like. But you actually, you recorded it with Ben and Chris last night. That is correct. All right. Well, today we've got nine matchups to get through. We'll get you prep for week 13. Hopefully this is a, you know, it might be a big week for you. You might be clinching playoffs this week. This could be deciding a bye week. Oh, this is, week 13 is always huge. I mean, this is people are in, people are out. Playoffs are decided. Brooks and I are head to head in our Dynasty League, the final week. He's trying to.

break up my 12-0 season. Got off to an okay start. You had Alfred Morris, Somaget P. Rhine and Vernon Davis last night. Now, Davis let you down, Brooks. How are you feeling? Alf. The Dallas offense lives. Alf. Yeah, that offensive line, it's always nice as a running back when you don't get hit until about 7, 8 yards into the opposing secondary. But that game last night, Des Bryant came down with a big catch.

finally got off the Schneid, so to speak. I think it had gone seven games without a touchdown. And DAC did enough to get it done, but they leaned on the running game. And that's what makes Dak good. If you can play action past, if you can keep the defense guessing, get them to pull a safety down, get them in man coverage.

That's when Dak can do some work. But when the running game and the offensive line was not working, he did not look like a good quarterback. The running offensive line's been working while Zeke's been gone. They just haven't, they've kind of changed their game plan. They just need to act like Zeke is still there because Alf can do enough to, you know, to placate that role and allow Dak to do the play action like you're talking about. The funny thing is, I think in the major metrics this year, Alf is actually outperforming Zeke.

Yes. So it came down to something else than just Zeke missing. It was Dak. Yeah, it was Dak. So it is Friday, so. Put Clan Friday.

And obviously, we're over on YouTube where you can see Jay Gris in all of his hairy glory. Harry Glory, I've never used that word in my life. That's a great phrase if I had a dollar for every time. Okay, okay. All right, we're going to skip the news and notes, get right into In and Out, and talk about some of these injuries. What's it going to pay me it fly? Are you in?

All right, position by position, Jason. It's all about you right here. Your opinions, they matter. They're the only ones that usually do. So let's just go ahead. All right, quarterback, Tom Brady, Cam Newton. No practice Wednesday, limited Thursday. And of course, Tom Brady's going to play. Same with Cam. No issues there. Devonta Freeman. Is he back? Devonta Freeman passed a concussion protocol. He is in.

Ooh, LaShaul McCoy not practicing on Friday, but expected to play. Do we have to worry about this? You know, I think you have to worry a little bit because a Friday mispractice is rare. But this is what LaShawn McCoy does. I mean, he's injured, but he plays. And when he plays, he gets injured for a play that looks like you've lost him for the season, and then he's back the next play. So I fully expect LaShawn McCoy to play. Mike Tolbert is out.

So Travarez Cadet Handcuff, protect yourself? Sure. Maybe? Maybe. Maybe. Meeer Abdullah. Amir Abdullah did not practice on Thursday because of his neck. That one's a little bit hard to tell. I'm going to say that he's going to be in. Okay. Fair enough. That's all I got for you. But.

That being said, I would not recommend Abdullah this week because of the combination of the injury and the Baltimore Ravens' defense has just been outstanding. Ty Montgomery, Aaron Jones. Ty Montgomery, Aaron Jones. Both were participating in or out. Out, out. Okay. Doug Martin. We just have a lot, Jason. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Sure. Let's get through it. Doug Martin? Doug Martin, not through the concussion protocol out. Lamar Miller. He'll play. DeMarcoma Murray sick.

He is sick. He will play. Damien Williams. Damien Williams will not play. He is going to be out several weeks. Adrian Peterson. This one is. He actually did practice yesterday. He got updated. That's the last report that I had was that Peterson actually got moved to practice. Have you not heard that, Brooks? I had not heard that. From what I had seen from some of the beat reporters is a little bit of concern. Updating an earlier report, Adrian Peterson returned to practice on Thursday. He's on track to play.

Well, that's great news for Adrian Peterson. I actually do think it's a great matchup for him. So if he's a go, I was going to have him in my DFS lineup for yesterday's show, but I pivoted because of the neck injury. Matt Forte. Limited practice Thursday. I expect he will play. Mike Davis. Oh, full practice Thursday. This is actually big news. Mike Davis looks like he's on track to play.

And he will be the starter if he plays for the Seattle Seahawks. Now, it's the worst match of possible. So I would not recommend playing him against the Philadelphia defense. But it's great news if you picked him up off of waivers or if he's still on waivers, go grab them, stash him. Yeah, Lacey, McKissick, Davis, some form of those three will be in the backfield against the Eagles. Wide receivers, Amari Cooper? Not practicing, not expect. He's a long shot to play. Julio.

Julio is always limited in practice, barely practices, plays like a monster. That's an end? That's an end. Robert Woods. Robert Woods is out officially. Josh Reynolds? Upgraded to full practice Thursday. He should be in. Calvin Benjamin. Out. Jordan Matthews. Limited Thursday he'll be in. Still don't love his. Any worry about Jarvis Landry? You know, a little bit because he was in a late addition to the injury report.

So you've got to just keep monitoring, but I expect he'll play as of this moment. Upgrade to Devante Parker if he's out, obviously. Yep. Rashard Matthews? Did not practice Thursday missed last game, so I'm going to lean out. Hogan? Hogan, doubtful. I'm going to say out. Will Fuller? Not practicing, out. Deshawn Jackson. Limited Thursday, I think that's more of a veteran thing. I expect he'll be in. Tight-ins. Do you expect Red Olson to play, and if so, would you play him?

I do expect him to play the resting that foot. I think they're going to be cautious with him. I would play him if I needed to. I see him as a low end startable option. Jimmy Graham? Jimmy Graham did not practice Thursday or the rest of the season. He is fine. He will play. And I think he's a good play this week. Tyler Croft, Cameron, break, Kobe Fleener. All limited practices on Thursday, Kobe Fleener.

out he is he is officially out josh hill a sneaky snart uh craft croft and brate i think will suit up all right the tomb raider back out there yeah fantasy forecast all right let's jump back in the matchups if you don't hear the matchup you're waiting for it's because it was on yesterday's show oh and what a great show brooks brooks how do they uh how do they get yesterday's show what's how would you recommend them getting yesterday's show

Not my proudest moment. I love it. Sometimes, yeah, all right, the Broncos, three and eight, take on the dolphins, four and seven. In the garbage game of the week. This is the garbage game of the week. 38.5.0. Under.
