NFL Fantasy Football Playoffs Preview !!


Listen Later

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL fantasy football playoffs.

The hosts open by welcoming listeners to a fantasy-football playoff edition of the show and discussing their own playoff runs, then recap the previous week’s high-scoring Thursday night game before previewing the upcoming Falcons-Buccaneers matchup. They note both teams are struggling, with Tampa Bay dealing with injuries to key receivers and Atlanta reeling despite switching to Kirk Cousins. They expect a lower-scoring divisional game and debate the spread and total, leaning slightly toward the Buccaneers and a modest over. They highlight key injuries, including Drake London being ruled out and uncertainty around Kyle Pitts, which could force heavier use of Bijan Robinson, though his rushing output is likely capped by Tampa Bay’s strong run defense. They move into player props, backing Pitts’ receiving yards based on past performance against Tampa Bay and projecting Bijan to hit receiving overs while struggling on the ground. They discuss touchdown props, including Tyler Allgeier's goal-line role and Buccaneers options such as Mike Evans, Bucky Irving, and Sean Tucker. Shifting to fantasy decisions, they debate the risks of starting a limited Mike Evans and agree that if he is active he must be used, while Cousins is framed as a desperation superflex play with limited upside. They explore deeper plays like Darnell Mooney due to Atlanta’s depleted receiving corps and mention fringe tight end options like Payne Durham if Cade Otton sits. They transition into Week 15 flex questions, comparing several player pairs: they narrowly prefer Isaiah Likely over Harrison Bryant/Fannin Jr. due to the Bengals’ extreme vulnerability to tight ends; they choose Devin Neal over Chuba Hubbard because Neal has clearer volume and goal-line opportunity; they pick Blake Corum over Devin Singletary citing Corum’s red-zone role in the Rams’ committee; they debate Terry McLaurin vs. RJ Harvey, ultimately favoring Harvey due to Washington’s unstable offense; they lean Tyler Allgeier over Jordan Mason due to Allgeier’s defined touchdown role; and they choose D’Andre Swift over Stefon Diggs because Swift remains consistently involved while Diggs has become unreliable despite a past revenge game. They close by discussing their own fantasy playoff scenarios, reflecting on recent player performances like Jalen Hurts and Matthew Stafford, teasing the upcoming Army-Navy game, and giving listeners their social handles before signing off.
