A host explicitly announces a new FootClan Friday practice: the weekly $100 winner call will rotate among producers. Kyle, introduced as the Borgogan and editor-in-chief, cleanly announces Siddish Nadkarni and describes the performance as a spelling bee before being asked for Price Is Right energy; the Owl and Judge are promised future turns.
The desk pauses for the J.D. McKissic sound cue and thanks production when it fires. An adjacent aside says an unnamed man's smile shows that he is proud of himself, but the current transcript does not identify that person as the button operator, so no speaker or crew identity is assigned.
The hosts read Kyle's written comment aloud: in a dark world full of uncertainty, Evan Engram might be the hero listeners need. The desk celebrates the melodramatic line; the transcript does not establish that it was published site copy.
Listeners ask Andy to bench Kyle Pitts so Pitts can finally succeed. Andy escalates the superstition by trading Pitts away entirely, calls it a gift to the audience, and tells the FootClan that every Pitts hope and dream should now happen. He calls Travis Kelce his new tight end, but the transcript does not say Pitts was traded directly for Kelce.
Jason's second Wheel loss of the year lands on Caveman after Rainy Day, Geezer, and Oompa Loompa, prompting the callback that he may be dressing as Hagrid again because he loves beards. The child-sized face piece and beard—not independently the later-added wig—fit so tightly that he cannot move his lips and says he will die, but he finds the tiny mouth opening, uses the costume's bone comb, and continues into Fantasy Faceoff.
Mike is introduced as the Fantasy Hitman while another host explains trying to send him Greg Dulcich after Tyler Higbee's two rotten weeks. Mike replies, 'nay, I shall not. I love the Higby,' says he still believes, supports the loyalty with a 40-percent target-per-route figure, and later starts Higbee in Fantasy Faceoff.
Jason says he is extremely unhappy after wishing for an Eagles game that stayed competitive, because his opponent had A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert while Damien Pierce also punished Jason's Eagles defense. He repeatedly insists he is fine; later, Austin Ekeler's injury note makes him sigh like a broken man. The transcript never names Jason's league, so this is not labeled League of Record.
While reviewing Leonard Fournette, the hosts say they live for the Dump Truck and have to back it up. His poor rushing and receiving role then produce the paired formulation 'the dump truck and the dump offs.'
A start/sit exchange asks what would happen if Evan Engram were named Schmevin Schmangram; the altered identity is immediately declared startable. The name returns ten minutes later when an actual Fantasy Faceoff lineup uses Schmevin Schmangram in the flex.
The hosts say one League of Record team has both Rhamondre Stevenson and D'Onta Foreman and 'just has a magical touch.' The owner is not identified in this transcript, so no host or crew member is attached.
The episode opens with all three hosts and the Deucers in the building, then Jason admits he is extremely unhappy after facing A.J. Brown, Dallas Goedert, and Damien Pierce while his Eagles defense fails him; repeated claims that he is fine culminate in a later 'sigh of a broken man' when Austin Ekeler reaches the injury report. FootClan Friday starts a new producer-announcer tradition. Kyle, explicitly the Borgogan and editor-in-chief, awards Siddish Nadkarni a $100 FantasyChamps gift card, compares it to a spelling bee, and is asked for Price Is Right energy; the Owl and Judge are promised future turns. Production later fires the established J.D. McKissic cue, but the nearby proud smile and its operator remain anonymous. Kyle's written Evan Engram comment declares him a possible hero in a dark world. Mike, addressed as the Fantasy Hitman, refuses a proposed Greg Dulcich move because he loves and still believes in Tyler Higbee. Leonard Fournette's Dump Truck returns through the line that the show lives for it and must back it up, then becomes the Dump Truck and the dump-offs. Andy—identified in the next paragraph as the Reaper—calls Travis Kelce his new tight end and says he traded Kyle Pitts away for the FootClan so Pitts can finally fulfill every hope; the transcript does not say Kelce arrived in that same trade. Evan Engram then becomes Schmevin Schmangram, a name reused in an actual Fantasy Faceoff lineup. The episode ends with Jason's second Wheel of Shame loss of the year. Caveman beats Rainy Day, Geezer, and Oompa Loompa; the tight face piece/beard leaves him unable to move his lips, a wig is added, he compares it to a baby costume and says he will die, then finds the mouth hole, uses a bone comb, and continues Fantasy Faceoff.
My pivot will be Garrett Wilson. Okay. All right. I went with the counterpart to Tyree Kill. I have Jalen Wadle back in there. He treated me so nicely last week. And he was cheaper. Much cheaper, yeah. Yeah, $7,400 for Jalen Waddle. And Jailen Waddle has cleared the, what, 67.5 receiving line mark. in every game with Tua. How's the bone comb working out over there? Bone comb is real good. My other wide receivers, I went with DeAndre Hopkins at 7,900. Who was your, you and Jaylon Waddle and Deander Havis. And then my third, I spent way way down, Khalif Raymond at 4,000. So I have Deandre Hopkins at 7,900. His O on Drafking Sportsbook, he's sitting at six and a half receptions, but he's seen 14 and 13 targets. Oh, it's been beautiful.
7,900 is probably still underpriced for what Hopkins can do. I have Amundraa St. Brown. No Hawkinson. That price is still very good. And we have a, I may have to pivot here because I didn't realize he was going to be a game time decision. But I have Alan Lazard, who's sitting at 6,000. I thought practicing meant he would play. Okay. Jason, let's finish it up with your tight-in, flex, and defense. Well, these are real cheap. I mean, I got a lot of good players elsewhere. My tight end is Noah Fant against the Arizona Cardinals. Oh, fantastic. He is only 2,900, uh, went back and forth, whether him or disley. We'll see if I chose poorly or not. Zay Jones at 4,100 against the writers and the Carolina Panthers hoping to get some sex on Joe Burrow at 2,300. Okay. I, uh,
I went with Hayden Hurst. Hayden Hurst is my tight end at 3,600. I went with a Schmevin-Schmingrum as my flex. You went with Schmevin-Schmingram? It's 3,300. He was better than the whiteouts at that price point. Wow. And I spent way up with Echler, Jones, Hopkins, and Waddle. And I went with the Panthers because... I had to. I had no choice. I was out of money. I was out of money. So the other thing that will blow up my rosters, I have Josh Palmer as well at 5,100. So two characters here in my cast. You love them game time decisions. Yeah, apparently. I still believe in Tyler Higby at 3,700. If you have a limited Cooper Cup, that could be even more targets for Higby. And then I went with the Colts.
against the Patriots. Ramondra is a scary man. What's the price on that? They're $2,700. So you have to spend a little more. But Mac Jones hasn't looked very good. And the Colts defense. Shaq Leonard is back. Is actually pretty stout. All right. That was Fantasy Faceoff presented by Draft King Sportsbook. Download the Draft King Sportsbook app right now and use the promo code.
