Falling anvils or what? Yeah, man.

Everything is everything. Week 15. It's a hell of a drug. It's dangerous in the streets, man. It is Monday, December 20th. Football every night. So we got it tonight. We got it tomorrow. Had it on Sunday. Had it on Saturday. Had it on Thursday. Friday. You got Friday off from pain. You thought you were done? You're done when I say you're done. I can't even imagine if I'm honest.

I have to go through this for two more nights. Yes, you do. And this is an opt-in, right? People choose to do. This is our hobby. We enjoy this. It's our job. It's our obligation. Welcome into the show. I do want today to be somehow in some way productive for you, but I haven't figured out how yet. Because other than the catharsis, the camaraderie of misery.

Like first, congrats to the buy, those that have the buy. Yes. You did not miss. I mean, you missed out on a good time this weekend where you saw season worst performances from Tom Brady, Mike Evans, Joe Mixen, Jamar Chase, Najee Harris, Deontay Johnson, Alvin Camara, Omari Cooper, Cordarell Patterson. They all saved it up for the fantasy playoffs. And.

What's crazy about this is usually whenever, there's bad weeks in fantasy. You can flush it down the toilet. Get rid of it. Big turts can take long flush. There, yeah. Okay. The crazy thing about this week is because there are three more games left, nobody has really won their matchup. You know, there's just too many players left. And since so many players sucked, even if you're in it.

Like, Mike, our team, we're still in it. We have a chance to win. Andy, you've got two leagues where you're kind of projected to win and you're projected for 50-50. But you feel like you lost in both of them already. We feel like everyone. Usually, whenever there's a bad week, half the people out there are happy because the luck happened to be on their side. But everyone feels like they lost. But it's not true. It's not true. We're going to have plenty of winners here.

Well, you get, what, Minnesota, Chicago tonight, and then two games tomorrow, the Seattle, Los Angeles game, and the Eagles Washington game. And we got Raiders Browns later today, too. Oh, my gosh, you do. So you have four, yeah, you have four left. And you're right. I mean, I, in our dynasty league, where I am trying to defend a title, I'm going to score the lead, when it's all said and done tonight, it's going to be the least amount of points scored.

I think maybe ever. It's not a joke. It's not a joke. No, both teams are projected. They're projected to end with 80 points. The playoff teams. And the playoff teams with 80. Mike posted a stat this morning. It's the fewest touchdown scored on a weekend in 25 years, 26. 27. A Sunday with 10 games played, there was 40 touchdowns. So there's a lot of reactions.

We put out the call once again to react to the weekend on Monday Punday. I went through them all. I had to dig deep to find one of the positive ones. So we're going to begin there as we react with you, Foot Clan, to a sophisticated weekend of football. Let's begin with Amman Hurrah, St. Brown.

Gabriel Davis. And Brand Win Cooks. And lots of ways you could go here, but let's go with Mark Ham Drews. Enough with the niceties. Yes, let's get to the real. What about Michael Farter? Or I'll take this one, guys. Come on, Dre, Stevenson. Come on, Dre. Clyde Edwards, beware. Carson Binch. Corderell Puderson. Oh, that's a good one. Oh, what?

Waste Edmonds. Jerry Doody. Are these all poop? Duke Prescott. Yes. Michael Pinstaines. And Wiler Murray. And there are so many more. I did think about going entirely bathroom puns. I did. Because there were plenty of them. And we felt them all.

But here we are. We got studs and duds on today's show. And we have news to talk about. And we haven't had a Monday show where there are still four games to play. That's true. And no matter how tilted you are, Andy, just remember this. You can't get farther. I am not tilted today. Mm-hmm. Yeah. Because the way you feel, I felt that way 14 times in a row, my friend. 14.

Enjoy your sadness. Enjoy it. We were in the, the Hulk. He's always angry. I'm always tilted. So I feel nothing today. You feel nothing. We were in the, we used Slack for the leagues that were in, the big leagues. And, you know, people are talking about these matchups. And all Mike does, his only chime in of the weekend was, I hope everybody loses. Goodbye. It was just, it was the 14 weeks of pain.

I posted a graphic this morning. Travis Kelsey outscored Brady Evans, Mix and Patterson, Chase Higgins, Deante Johnson, Camara, Cooper, Julio Jones, and Jerry Judy combined. So that's a good time. Let's talk news. News and notes from around the league presented by Sleeper. If the games themselves weren't enough to get you on tilt, you have injuries to add to him. Chris Godwin didn't help you last night. He's not going to help you the rest of the year. MCL sprain.

Going to miss the rest of the season. Mike Evans, hamstring injury. We've been here before. Maybe he'll play. I doubt it. I doubt it as well. And Leonard Fournett had a hamstring injury as well. And once he got to the locker room was quickly ruled out. So I would expect, and it's too early to know, but just based on what happens with most players and the position that this team is in, they are looking to win a Super Bowl. They want to be healthy for the playoffs. I would imagine.

You're without Godwin Evans and Fournette, at least this coming week. That seems probable to me. And welcome back Antonio Brown. Yeah, they have come out and said they will welcome back Antonio Brown despite the fake COVID-19 vaccination card. I mean, what does this do for Tom Brady? Let's say you made it. You've got Tom Brady. You were on the bye week or somehow you're going to make it through this week.

what do you do next week? Because yes, he is the greatest player of all time. I totally understand that. But you got to see what the greatest player of all time does when he doesn't have elite wide receivers surrounding him. And that can be you put up zero total points. Carolina, next week, then the Jets for championship weekend. So maybe next week you learn.

If you can. Oh, man. And then the week after, you put them in there. I mean, Carolina, this week, one of my just innumerable mistakes, I played Brady over Josh Allen. Right. And Alan put up a decent week against Carolina. So, you know, Tom Brady is going to come back with fire in his eyes next week. And you may not have a better choice. But can those wide receivers actually catch the fire is the question.

I certainly don't think they will be as good as Mike Evans and Chris Godwin, but they're also not going to be put into a position that they were not expecting that game plan for. You know, this was, they came in as backups not part of this game plan. You know, I'm a special teamer. And now it's like, I'm a full-time wide receiver. Joe Mixon, exited with the left ankle injury. We'll monitor that. Jason, you mentioned he came back in for the kneel down.

Teddy Bridgewater, scary scene again, exited with a concussion. They say he will be okay, but whether he's back out there soon, I don't know. Pat Fryermuth, concussion, ruled out. Julio Jones, the season that never was, exited with hamstring injury. Those hamstrings don't work anymore. They really don't. I feel like his career is over.

Yeah, you mentioned it. We came into the season looking at him and AJ Green coming out in the same class. Man, it was a quick falloff for Julio Jones. And the second round pick that Atlanta got for him. Congrats. That's what they got? Yeah. Ho! Ho! Could be a career ender for Sterling Shepherd as well. Torn Achilles. Season's over. He's going to have to try to recover from that, and that's going to be difficult.

ankle injury for Rondale Moore, not that people were playing him. And then Lamar Jackson did not play. It's a bone bruise. And Tyler Huntley came up big. He was a stud. Yeah, he looked good. He did. And he ran for what, 70-something yards. So. He is the perfect backup for Lamar Jackson because a lot of times out there, he.

Plays like Lamar Jackson. You see the same reads, the same tuck and runs. And I believe he put up a fantasy point level that Lamar Jackson has only hit twice. What? He was the number one on the week. Two passing touchdowns, two rushing touchdowns, and 73 rushing yards. It's nice when you don't have to take any of the playbook away when your backup comes in. Yes. Updates for Monday night's game.

Right now Landry and Hooper are both listed as questionable. They're on the reserve list. David and Joku is active from that list. We do know that Baker and Case Keenham did not test out even with the updated protocols. So it will be Nick Mullins tonight. Yeah. I mean, I imagine based on the change to the NFL's protocols and if you don't know what we're talking about, they essentially came out and for, you know, without getting into the nitty gritty.

I don't think we're going to get affected like we did this past week. Yep. Because unless you're symptomatic and unvaccinated, you're probably not getting tested by the NFL anymore. So next weekend, for better or for worse, you know, you're going to be in better shape probably for fantasy. Adam Thielen, Alan Robinson are both listed as questionable for the Vikings Bears game. You have expectations for Thielen being back out there? No, I...
