Ep. 28: You Win Some, You Lose Some + Week 18 Chaos 🏆🌪️
The Vibe: The confetti has cleared for fantasy champions like Vivian (who won her 10th 'Ship) and the smoke has settled for heartbroken runners-up like Milton. As we ring in the New Year, the real NFL descends into the beautiful chaos of Week 18, where playoff seeds, divisions, and draft positions are all on the line.
Championship Week Heroes: A salute to the players who delivered titles.
Record Breakers: Bijan Robinson broke the Falcons' single-season scrimmage yards record. Puka Nacua finished as the overall WR1.
Clutch Performers: Brock Purdy (5 total TDs), Christian McCaffrey, Derrick Henry, and Drake Maye were league-winners.
Milton's 2026 Fades: A vow to avoid the Raiders (dysfunction), players who celebrate Donald Trump ("curse"), and anyone playing on "depressed" teams during Netflix holiday games.
The News: Major off-field drama and key injuries hit as the playoffs loom.
Legal Trouble: Patriots WR Stefon Diggs is charged with felony strangulation, casting doubt on his playoff availability.
Season-Ending Injuries: Saints WR Chris Olave (blood clot) and Browns TE Harold Fannin Jr.(quad) are done.
Resting Starters: Packers, Eagles, Bills, and Chargers are expected to sit key players like Jordan Love, Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen, and Justin Herbert.
Playing Through: Joe Burrow will start. Lamar Jackson is back at practice.
The Game Script: Week 18 Chaos Navigating a slate where motivation is everything.
Win-And-You're-In Battles: Panthers at Bucs (NFC South title), Ravens at Steelers SNF (AFC North title).
Playing for Everything: Seahawks at 49ers (NFC #1 seed), Jaguars vs. Titans (AFC #1 seed), Patriots vs. Dolphins (AFC #1 seed).
Playing for Pride (or Stats): Games like Browns at Bengals and Cowboys at Giants where starters play but stakes are low.
Tank Bowl: Chiefs at Raiders – a race for the #1 draft pick.
The Depth Chart: Week 18 Survival Guide
START: Players on teams with everything to play for (SF, SEA, JAX, NE, CAR, TB, BAL, PIT).
SIT: All rested starters (GB, PHI, BUF, LAC). Fade players on eliminated teams with nothing to gain.
CONSIDER: Backups and handcuffs in games where starters are resting (Josh Johnson, Malik Willis, etc.). Stat-chasers like Tony Pollard (incentives) and Michael Wilson (93 yards from 1,000).
Lock It In: For the final week of the regular season, follow the motivation. Start players whose teams are fighting for playoff lives or seeding, and bench anyone whose team has already packed it in.
Tune in for our full breakdown of the Week 18 madness. Thank you for joining us all season long—fantasy football never sleeps, and neither will we. And just like anyone who faced Bijan Robinson in their championship, we are DONE!
