Cardboard Jay Griz fills Mike's chair and gets his demanded drop

During a three-quarters-football-time opening, direct video shows the full-size cardboard Jay Griz bear seated at Mike's host chair and microphone. The desk announces Jay in the house, cites public demand for his drops, plays the waiting cue, and says it hits hard; later dialogue explicitly confirms Mike is absent. Jay physically substitutes for Mike but still has no live speaking part.

Thursday kickoff closes the League of Record bazaar

The show's custom League of Record deadline is Thursday Night Football kickoff, a few days later than many formats. As the clock runs down, league mates cite the show's own trade analyzer to strong-arm an unnamed manager while avoiding an official offer.

moment

Megalabowl's bracket terminates in the Listener League

The current Megalabowl playoffs use Weeks 15–17 and no longer lock waivers. Each league's top six enters; the top half advances twice, and the final highest scorer is crowned champion and moves into the Listener League.

moment

Al's trophy gets the safety treatment Al avoids

Al Borland keeps a cool trophy beside him, says it also stays under his pillow, and confirms buckling it into the car. The hosts then say Al pre-buckles his own seatbelt and sits on it only to silence the warning.

moment

Absent Mike gets Ken Bone without validation as Andy fleeces Falcon

Because Mike is away, the hosts select his Kenneth Walker favorite in his honor while insisting he cannot receive validation. The Ken Bone Walker name returns, then Andy is directly identified as having recently traded for Walker and completely fleeced the Falcon.

moment

Mike spends his largest bullet on Jefferson and regrets it

A host reports that Mike privately regrets his Justin Jefferson trade. Mike was making a championship push and spent his highest, largest piece of trade ammunition to get put over the top, but Jefferson now feels like a wide receiver two.

Andy accidentally steals an employee's Sicilian pizza sandwich

During the office sandwich read, Andy admits that he accidentally took another employee's order and ended up with a Sicilian pizza sandwich layered with salami, capicola, and ham.

summary

Episode notes

The standard opening names Andy, Jason, and Mike, but the live desk explicitly says Jason is present, welcomes Jay Griz, invokes public demand for Jay's drops, and plays the waiting cue. Direct video review shows the full-size cardboard bear occupying Mike's host chair and microphone, while Mike is later explicitly stated to be absent: Jay is both a physical fill-in and a sound-drop character here. The hosts choose Trayveon Henderson and Kenneth Walker in Mike's honor only because he cannot receive the validation. It is League of Record trade-deadline day, with the custom deadline set at Thursday kickoff and league mates already using the show's trade analyzer to pressure one another. In that setting, Andy is said to have recently acquired Kenneth Walker while completely fleecing the Falcon. Mike's separate championship push has turned sour: he privately regrets spending his largest trade bullet on Justin Jefferson, who now feels like a wide receiver two. The community rules are equally important: Megalabowl playoffs run Weeks 15–17, the top six enter, the top half advances twice, and the final high scorer earns a Listener League place. Producer Al Borland supplies the strongest crew gag. He keeps a cool trophy close, sleeps with it under his pillow, buckles it into the car, and is accused of sitting on his own prefastened belt so the alarm will not beep. During a sponsor read, Andy also admits accidentally stealing another employee's Sicilian pizza sandwich. The close previews the Wheel of Shame as payback.

Not too shabby, the pinch hitter. It's three-quarters football time. We got... two defenses that are going to come to play and we got one offense that what is football time then like a full on just like good team against good team an offensive I actually full football time it doesn't have to be good team against good team because this is good team against good team right football time is good offense against good offense that's it I thought see here I was thinking it was just there was a game tonight

1:07 ↗

Yeah. We've gotten greedier. Silly me. Welcome in Thursday, November 20th, the fantasy footballers podcast. Jason Moore is here. Jay Griz in the house. Probably, probably have a lot of public demand for Jay Gris's drops. So just do it. He's been waiting. Yeah. That hits hard. That hits hard. I'm Andy Holloway. Welcome in. One in all starts of the week, the fantasy forecast today. Interesting news to talk about. It is our League of Record trade deadline day. Ooh. Which what we do is we end up kind of extending the deadline. A lot of league formats just like they end at the end of the week. And what we do is we kind of extend it a few extra days. And we make the deadline the kickoff of Thursday night football. So you can have some.

2:08 ↗

excitement right right all leading right up to kickoff till the beginning the beginning of the kickoff is you know the beginning of the games that week it's over it's it's almost there though final trades being made some weird ones in our league so we'll see what happens in yours And one thing some people have been asking about Jason, we mentioned it on the footcast yesterday, but if you're in the Megalibul, in years past, we used to lock rosters in the playoffs and you couldn't sign waivers. That doesn't happen anymore. No, no. And now it is. People have been asking, what's the date? No, what's the date? It's coming up here. It's the same as every normal league. It's week's 15, 16, 17. For the playoffs. For the playoffs. The teams, if you're in the top six seeds in your league, you will be in the playoffs.

2:53 ↗

You can check all the standings at megalobole.com. Just scroll down, click Megalibol standings, and then you'll see if you're in once the playoffs arrive. I mean, you should already know because the top six are in. But as the weeks progress through the playoffs, you could see your score against everyone else's score. Top half, move on to the next week. Top half, move on to the next week. And then the champ is crowned. Whoever scores the most. And then they play in the listener league. That's right. So that'll be fun.

And I didn't tell you this, but I've already had some people in our league trying to strong arm me into trades because of the trade analyzer. Yeah. Yeah. They're like, you say this is good. One of the comments was, It says heavily in your favor. So this is not an official offer, but would you do it? Oh. One of those. It's not a strong arm if it's not an official offer. Well, yeah.

And you'll make Al Borland happy over there because his record won't right now.

4:25 ↗

That's true, but I do have this cool trophy. You keep it so close to you. That's right. Why do you keep your trophy so close at all times? It's under my pillow at night too. Oh my gosh, that's an uncomfortable sleeve. Do you buckle it up when you drive it back and forth from work? Of course. Okay, he buckles that, but not himself. Oh, I know that. He buckles the seatbelt before he gets in and then sits on it so it doesn't beep. Yeah. We're also setting everything up for another. face off between you and I next year. We're both going into the draft, really pick heavy with great keepers. Yeah, you've done some good work there. I still have some hopes that you get watered this year. We're going to talk news. News and notes from Around the League, presented by Progressive Insurance. I was just totally goofing yesterday when I was like, maybe pick up, you know, Keon Coleman. No, you were goofing. I was just a goofing. Speaking of goofing. Yeah.

5:21 ↗

They might have goofed on the draft pick. Keon Coleman is expected to be a healthy scratch for a second consecutive week. Do you mean they goofed because they took Kean Coleman ahead of Ladd-McConkie? That is what I mean. Oh, okay. Yeah, that seems like a- I feel like if you put Ladd on the Buffalo Bills right now. Oh, my gosh. He would be Stefan Diggs when he was on the Buffalo Bills. They'd be glad. Yeah. But no, they're not happy right now. No Dalton Kincaid, no Kean Coleman. So maybe we'll get some shavers tonight, right? Honestly, you might. It's an interesting name if you're playing DFS or something tonight. Yeah, I mean, I feel like the Keon Coleman healthy scratch for a second week means you didn't respond well to the first week. Right. You didn't do anything that was expected of you to get back out there and say, hey, whatever late to meetings, whatever thing happened, you're like, you doubled down on like, nothing's wrong. And you know what? And it's speculation. I'm not saying I know the answer.

6:14 ↗

Here's what we do know. They're benching him again. So it's one of two things. It's either on Keon Coleman or it's on the bills, meaning it's on Keon Coleman. He didn't respond the right way. He threw a bigger fit, whatever it was, or the bills looked at the film and said, we just put up 44 points. We liked these guys and how they were participating in the offense better than what we have when we have Keon Coleman. And that might be the reason too. Might have just been a flat demotion. There was another Coleman with high hopes that once got benched for similar situations and his name was Cory Coleman if you recall who played for Cleveland and then played for Buffalo I think for a little while and never never became what he was supposed to be so one of the great bust picks yeah in NFL history Lamar Jackson did not practice on Wednesday ankle injury will monitor that he didn't practice last week either although I don't think it was an ankle so he's gonna play

7:10 ↗

Yeah, they just pick a body part for Wednesday. Isaiah likely the calf didn't practice. The Rams placed Tyler Higby. What are you laughing at over there? It just sounded like you said his calf didn't practice, but the rest of him. Yeah, he left. He didn't use one calf. Tyler Higby went to IR with the ankle injury. David Najoku didn't practice on Wednesday, probably maintenance on the knee. The Cardinals did open up the 21-day window for running back Tray Benson. who was limited on Wednesday. I did watch some of that film. I did as well. I don't imagine he'll be out there this week. He will not be. He's not going to play. But he was at least on in pads. He was making some cuts. He looked pretty good. So certainly someone that should be rostered in all leagues. If for some reason he is on your waiver wire, pick him up, he will be an important starting running back on an offense that's moving with Brissette.

8:06 ↗

and that needs, I mean, really, if you put the three running backs together for the Cardinals, it's been good numbers for their running game. It's just you don't know if it's been demarcato, no, he's injured, Michael Carter, no, he's, it's Bam Knight. They need Trey Benson. And so when he comes back, he's going to be very valuable down the stretch. I agree. Bayshall Toot and Travis E.T.N. Limited on Wednesday, Brian Thomas Jr. as well for Jacksonville. The big news that I don't see in here, but I think is kind of the biggest headline news of all is, Joe Burrow has not been ruled out this week. As of this recording, as of any news that I can find, you're a full practice on Wednesday when Joe Flacco is limited. Yeah. Why are you doing? I think he might play. I'm starting to think he might as well. It's funny. I was talking to someone yesterday. And he was saying, hey, you know, the full practice participant for Burrow. And I'm like, well, yeah, but I don't expect him to start yet. Then it was like, Joe Flacco's limited.

9:05 ↗

So Burroughs playing all the reps with the first team. It's not at least possible. Yeah, it's at least possible. Now, I don't know if his first game back wants to be the game where he doesn't have Jamar Chase. Of course, from Burroughs perspective, I'm sure he's thinking, if we don't have Chase, I've got to be there for this game. Oh, I mean, every game right now is do or die for that team for any chance of the playoffs. Buck Irving Limited for Tampa, Chris Godlin. Very limited. I was watching. He wasn't in pads. Those guys aren't playing them. No, no, no. And then a bunch of players got sick in Tampa, basically, Baker-Mayfield, a big boo, and a bunch of offensive linemen all out due to illness. Ooh. So they shared some tinderloin or something. Been there, brothers. And we'll cover some other injury situations. There's some running backs that we don't know what's going to happen. We'll do all that.

9:58 ↗

during today's matchup breakdown. So that was news and note, sponsored by Progressive Insurance, quote today at progressive.com. Progressive Casualty Insurance Company affiliates and third party insurers, not available in all states or situations, coverage subject to policy terms, limits and conditions. Before we get into the matchups, let's talk starts. Starts of the week, presented by Tostitos. Well, well, well, Jason, it's time for starts of the week. I have a rookie platter. I saw that this morning. You're going all rooks. This is the time of year where the rookies come to help win championships. Yeah, I wasn't necessarily trying to head that way. And then I ended up with a few starts that were rookies. And then I got the news. I had golf in as my start of the week. He was my streamer. I'd love to give another name. And then you see the positive practice report. Limited practice for Jackson Dart. I like it. And Jackson Dart will take on.

10:57 ↗

uh, Detroit this week. So that's the golf versus Jackson Dart. I like both sides of it. You like Jackson Dart right now in seven starts. He's averaging 23 fancy points of game. He rushes for 45 yards. Um, I did happen to catch the, did you ever see the conversation between him and Gruden? Oh yeah, where he basically called his called the perfect shot. He said, you, I want you to change a play style because if you keep doing this, you're going to end up. injured or in the concussion protocol. And then that video goes around while he's in concussion protocol. Yeah, and like Gruden was brutal. He's like, this is stupid. So hopefully that changes. But he's been, he's been great for fantasy. I'll go with Jackson Dart as my start of the week. I like it. I like it because I think people are worried with that first game back, but it's, it's not a soft tissue issue. So I'm not worried about that. I'm going with Brock Purdy as my start of the week versus Carolina on Monday night football. Brock looked great.

11:50 ↗

He's had three starts this year. Two plus touchdowns in each of them. He was the quarterback six this last week. And the Panthers, they can't rush the pass. They're 31st in pressure rate. From a clean pocket right now, the 49ers per D. E is pretty good. Nine yards per attempt. That's third best in the NFL. Tide with Drake May for ninth in fantasy points per dropback. The drop. Yeah, I was under what that was. The 49ers have 27.8 implied team total. Fifth highest of the week. It's a. It's an environment that I think is good for Brock and he's at home and Monday night football. Even his little profile picture right there doesn't dissuade you. No, no. It looks a little. Looks a little like a weird toy. Like a weird toy. Yeah, like a. Yeah, that's just not a normal smile. All right, Trayvion Henderson's my running back start of the week. Mike isn't here. He needs somebody to step up in his absence. Stay in the flames.

12:44 ↗

Even if Remandre returns, it's about the matchup as well, Cincinnati. That'll work because their rushing defense is pooh. It's a lot like they're passing defense. Right. They compete. Yeah. But 31st in expected points per rush, 31st and rushing yards per game. The Bengals, like they're just not going to be, even if you have a better than average performance, you're not going to hold. back the big play from Trayvon Henderson. High expectations this week. We don't know if Ramandre is playing. It doesn't dissuade me from Trayvion this week. So I'll go another rookie. Yeah. I like that you're doing that in honor of Mike who's not here. In honor of Mike who's not here, my start of the week is Kenneth Walker the third. Wow. Ken Bone. Trayvion and Ken Walker being our starts of the week. Well, we have to do it while Mike's gone. We can't possibly give him a validation. Yeah, exactly.

13:36 ↗

I would never hate those guys. Yeah. These guys suck. Ken Bone Walker the third. He was running back 11 last week on 19 opportunities. That's been his most in almost two months. Coach came out and said what we've been wanting him to say, which is Kenneth Walker is earning more opportunities. Andy U went out and definitely traded for him recently. And it just completely fleeced the Falcon. The Titans rush defense, 29th in yards before contact allowed, 31st in rushing touchdowns allowed. The Seahawks are 13.5 point road favorite. So it's a perfect game script. And I think Walker breaks a big play just like Hindo. Well, my wide receiver start of the week is going to be Tracy McGrady. Nice. I like it. Not Tet. Shooting guard. I'm not calling him Ted. No. He doesn't want to be called Tet. So TEMAC, Tetaroa, McMillan, against San Francisco on Monday night football.

14:28 ↗

You saw the ceiling last week, 8 for 1.30 and 2 from the NFC's player of the week, Bryce Young. This game really moved the needle on the season totals, on the season total projections. Like it all transformed where he was heading. He is one of six rookie wide receivers since 2015 with a 26 plus percent target share in that rookie season. He is tied with Tray McBride over the last month for the most receptions in the league. a true go-to receiver and I'm going to go right back to him in this matchup. And I'm facing him this week. This does not excite. I hate that. It doesn't excite me. Yeah. It happens sometimes. We're here for the Footland first. My wide receiver started the week. Devante Smith at Dallas. Okay. I will never quit Devante Smith. I know last week you had one catch for eight yards. Philly fans are upset at their Super Bowl champion team that is not, you know, that is not losing many games.

15:24 ↗

They're upset because their offense hasn't been good. Dallas is here to cure the ills. Dallas's defense is better. It is better. I don't want to just look at season-long totals with some of the additions they made after the bye week getting some injured players back. They looked good against the Las Vegas Raiders, but they now are not the Cincinnati Bengals. They are now a bottom half defense. And they are still a bottom half defense. I think what's really improved for them has been the running and rushing defense. I think that's what Quinnon brings to the table. Yeah. Quinnon's not been able to get to the passer as much. But stopping the run, that's what they've reinforced. Even with the Parsons trade, that's what they're trying to do. So that, again, lends itself towards maybe Saquan doesn't, isn't relied upon as much if they can slow that down. And the nice thing is this game is in Dallas.

16:17 ↗

The biggest issue here is the Philly defense has been so good that they don't need to pass. But the fact that the game is in Dallas, I like the fact that Dallas might be able to actually score on Philadelphia a little bit, and then they need to throw the ball. Devoncey Smith is going to be in my lineup. All right. I'm going to round out the rookie platter here with Colston Dogland. That's right. Taking on Pittsburgh. I'm going Colston Loveland. Steelers, it's about the matchup. 30th in schedule adjusted fantasy points allowed to the tight end. He's right on the fringe of the wide receiver one, even in our consensus rankings this week. What did I say? Wide receiver one. We'll see. I'll be shocked. Tight in one. And Loveland is a big play type of player. I think you're going to get a big play this week against the Steelers. It's a huge game for Chicago. And so I'm going to go, there's a handful of tight ends I actually kind of like this week.

17:09 ↗

compared to some previous weeks. Yeah. But I'm going to go with Loveland to round out the rookie run down here. I'm going with what should hopefully be a layup in Hunter Henry against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Bengals defense is, as we all know, it's very bad. But while they're bad against the run and they're bad against the pass, they are worst, worst, worst, worst against tight ends. They give it up every single week to tight ends. There's a 29 point team implied total, the second highest of the week. I want pieces of this game. And specifically, I mean, against the Bengals defense, you can essentially blindfold yourself with a grenade launcher and you'll hit the target. Okay. Okay. It's great to play the Titan. I mean, the Bengals are on pace to allow the most fantasy points of all time for the tight end position. So when I say they're bad, they're worst against tight end. I mean they're worst of all time.

18:05 ↗

So yeah, Hunter Henry. He's okay. He goes out there, gets three catches. Three catches 50 yards. He's a part of the offense. And then every now and then, every now and then he's the tight end one on the week. And this is one of those weeks where it's like he's going to go out and end up with two touchdown. My only concern about this game is if, you know, you don't have Jamar Chase. If, if Burrow doesn't play and. you know, the game script flips and you don't get as much passing work. Well, that's why you took Hindo. It makes sense. But I do think that they're still going to throw the ball for, you know, three quarters or at least for a half. And, and that's enough to exploit the giant gaping hole in the Bengals defense. Yeah, they don't see Titans. No.

18:46 ↗

That was starts of the week presented by Tostitos. Tostitos is the proud chip and dip sponsor of the NFL again this season. Sold nationwide online and at your local grocery store. Visit Tostitos.com for more information. We'll take a break. We'll get into the forecast. All right. It's time for week 12. Let's do it. Fantasy forecast presented by prize picks. We get the Colts and Saints back from the buy. The Broncos, Chargers, commanders, and dolphins are taking a week off. And so you've got to find those starts and sits that make a difference. Pittsburgh, 6 and 4, the Bears 7 and 3. That's our first matchup of the day, Jason, Vegas line here. Chicago at home, minus 2.5. Overrunners, 45 and a half. This is a battle between two division leaders. Shout out to the Steelers and Bears fans for coming this far. Chicago's defense 30th in yards per play, but number one in turnover is forced. They remind me of a handful of defenses in years past. Cardinals were like this a few years ago.

19:57 ↗

where they give up a lot of yards, but they make big plays and they keep your team in the game and they can do it that way. We'll see what happens here. I mean, Aaron Rogers didn't practice on Wednesday. I believe the quote I saw this morning was like it'll be about safety is what he said with the broken hand. And whether he can play safely, I guess, the game of football. Yeah. I know he loves playing in Chicago. I watched him an interview of like how much he. He's basically smirking and talking about how he's, you know, owned the Chicago Bears as a Packer, and he hopes he can play against Chicago again. Chicago, my understanding, they love Aaron Rogers. They just, Chicago is a big fan of that guy. I don't think you're being serious. I don't think I'm being serious either. I mean, the whole world dislikes him, but I think there's a special kind of dislike and hatred for, for Bears fans.

20:51 ↗

Jalen Warren and in the running back room on the other side, I think those discussions start us off here. I mean, Warren didn't practice Wednesday. It seems like they're going to try to get him back out there. Yeah. Last I heard was he wasn't practicing. It'll be slow, but they're hopeful that they have him this week. Which would put Gainwell on your bench? Yeah. Or in a flex. No, no, no. The matchup is really good. I mean, the bears for the last couple of years haven't really been good against running backs. The last six weeks, they've been better. So I do think that whoever the starter is needs to be started. Jalen Warren's been great. If he's there, I'll put him back in my lineup. Kenny Gainwell has been outstanding. And if Warren is gone, Gainwell's an excellent start.

21:41 ↗

But I don't want to start. I feel like the only way Gainwell has a really, I mean, you can always get touchdowns, but I think it would take a reaggravation to the ankle and that's not a bet. Like if you had to say Jalen Warren is starting, what percentage chance is it that he reagravates that ankle? I'd say 15%. That's not a bet I want. I don't want to put a 15% bet on it. And we have evidence here, right? He was the running back four in week four. They're going to the biweek. Jalen Warren comes back. His opportunities on the ground, 63530.

22:11 ↗

So it wasn't, you know, and last week it really came down to the receiving game, right? Like he had two receiving touchdowns. It wasn't even, I mean, it was nine for 24 on the ground. So it would be a really risky play. I'd rather play a Michael Carter in Arizona than a second fiddle Kenneth Gainwell personally. Yeah. DeAndre Swift, they keep limiting him on Wednesday, but he'll be back out there. Monongai is purely a touchdown or bus play, which, look, that's worked out for two straight weeks where you got, you got the touchdown. Last week he actually had 12 carries on the ground, just turned it into 23 yards. Yeah, I wouldn't rely on that. Certainly not in your average week and definitely not against the Steelers defense. Justin for scheduled or fifth against running backs this year. Throw on the Steelers easier than you run on the Steelers. Temperature check on DK Metcalf, Alec Pierce against the Kansas City defense or DK Metcalf in this game against Chicago. Oh, that's really, I would go, I would go Metcalf over Alec Pierce.

23:10 ↗

My temperature is very, like, chilly. I'm not excited for Metcalf, but I do think he is the alpha. He's used around the goal line. And the matchup against the Bears is much, much better than the matchup against the Chiefs. It's wild. I mean, his yardage, the last six games, 50, 55, 6, 35, 49. That's a bad 55. That's why I whispered it. Roma, Dunesay. I guess I'm a little curious your perspective on the, you know, we saw it. the Steelers did last week with Jalen Ramsey. You know, you've had DJ Moore out there. He's had the very, very occasional good game. Good comments from Ben Johnson this morning around Luther Burden and the earned opportunities. How are you breaking down this wide receiver room? Like I'm a little nervous about Adunzee having top flight production. I am too. With the Ramsey matchup, I think that this is a good week to spread it around. Maybe that helps your Colston Loveland start of the week.

24:05 ↗

I expect him to lead the team in targets, but he has led the team in targets a lot of weeks recently where he hasn't gotten it done last week. It's been a little red light green light. Yeah, six targets, only two for 41. Now, Rome is definitely someone you can start. He's a target leader for a team against a in a matchup at home where the opponent gives up a lot of points to fantasy wide receiver. So I believe he is a wide receiver two, but like a low end wide receiver two. Okay. That was the end of that sentence. That was it. Yeah, it looked like you. I thought you were going to keep going for a second. Okay. Well, I think if you're planning on playing Adunzee, you probably... Would you play Roma Dunzee or Michael Wilson? That's like, I'm looking at my rankings, and those guys are really, really close. I would play Michael Wilson. I think I would too, and that's not how my rankings are right now. I think that's what... Like, I have Rome on my team, and if...

25:02 ↗

I had Michael Wilson, I would start him over him. I think that because Harrison's missing another week and the yardage totals that you feel safe with with Jacoby, the fact that they can stop the run in Jacksonville, I lean that direction. And we talked about Colston Loveland already. New England is nine and two. They take on the three and seven Cincinnati Bengals. They've got such an uphill climb. Vegas line here, New England minus six and a half. The over and under is a beautiful 50 and a half points. The line did shift. from eight and a half to six and a half with the potential for Joe Burrow to return. The game is in Cincinnati. Like this would be one, this would be one I actually think could be kind of up, almost upset territory with Burrow out there. It's just missing chase is a big deal. And coming back from injury to face New England, I.

25:56 ↗

I just don't know if they can get it done. And the Patriots are rolling. Now their schedule's been great, but they've won all the games. I mean, you're just doing what you're supposed to do. Eight straight wins. And Cincinnati's defense, we've talked about it at length, doesn't give you enough to really compete sometimes. And so, you know, you play Drake May.
