2 Toms 1 Ash

Tom is back from holiday in Tunisia, where a VPN got him some Red Zone. Ash, Scholey and Charlie recap Week 7 in the UK's number one NFL fantasy football podcast.

• The top scorers: Joe Burrow, Tony Pollard (37 points against the Browns), Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Ze Flowers.
• Scoli's one-point win, with the Browns on top of the AFC North. He covers Quinshon Judkins, Harold Fannin Jr. and the rookie receivers.
• Charlie is on a five-game win streak at 6-8 and in the playoff places. He credits Drake Maye, Tucker Kraft-style tight end Loveland and Braylon Allen.
• Ash's trade with Kyle: Alvin Kamara and Michael Wilson go out, Aaron Jones and Tate come in. The Toms judge who won.

• Byes: Texans, Saints, Giants and 49ers.
• Bucs v Falcons, Bills v Ravens (with Lamar Jackson's status uncertain), Browns v Steelers (a low over/under) and Lions v Vikings (the Vikings are 6-0).
• Who to start and who to sit, including Jameson Williams' boom-or-bust profile.

They also sign off with a Halloween send-off. See you in Week 9.Before you use this, please check three details. I wrote "Tucker Kraft-style tight end Loveland" by mistake; it should just read "Loveland". Please also check the spellings of Fannin and Tate, because the transcript's auto-captions are shaky on those names. The 46-minute length matches the edit.

• how to think about contending teams like Mike, Midi, and Haworth as the playoff race tightens

Ashley and Tom also tackle the season’s biggest roster problem: the shocking lack of dependable starting running backs. With injuries, committees, and waiver-wire gambles everywhere, the episode gets into the strategic choices that separate playoff teams from lottery tickets. They also look ahead to Week 7, including Colts-Vikings, Texans-Giants, Lions-Packers, and Chiefs-Seahawks, with sharp fantasy and betting angles on players like Justin Jefferson, T.J.
