  • Ep. 13: Packers Send A-Rod Packing + Week 9 Waivers: Handcuff Edition (or Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy) 🐎🤠

    he Vibe: Milton is seeing red after a brutal week of fantasy losses, culminating in a profound understanding of the "you mad, bro?" meme. He's officially calling Dak Prescott's MVP season over after a disastrous performance.

    Weekend Blitz: A wild week where tight ends stole the show, but not the ones we expected.

    • Tight End Explosion: 10 different TEs scored touchdowns, including Dallas Goedert (2 TDs) and Tucker Kraft (2 TDs), but Cade Otton and Tyler Warren were nowhere to be found.

    • Jets Stun Bengals (39-38): Justin Fields and the Jets' offense came alive, while Ja'Marr Chaseput up a legendary 16-catch, 161-yard, 23-target performance in a loss.

    • Cowboys Crushed by Broncos (44-24): The Dallas defense is "worse than their offense is great." Bo Nix and Troy Franklin connected well, and Joe Milton looked like a "demi-god" in garbage time.

    • Packers Dominate Steelers (35-25): Green Bay sent Aaron Rodgers packing with a dominant second half. Christian Watson was heavily involved, and Tucker Kraft is a stud.

    • Jonathan Taylor's Historic Run: JT is now the 5th player since 2000 with at least 3 scrimmage TDs in four games in a season, joining legends like LaDainian Tomlinson.

    The News: The trade deadline looms and the injury bug keeps biting.

    • Trade Rumors: The Jaguars are listening to offers for Brian Thomas Jr., the Saints may trade Rashid Shaheed, and Tony Pollard is reportedly available.

    • Major Injuries: Carson Wentz is out for the season (shoulder), Cam Skattebo (dislocated ankle) is done, and Quinshon Judkins (AC joint sprain) will miss time. Isiah Pacheco (knee) is week-to-week.

    • Returns Imminent: Lamar Jackson, Jayden Daniels, Puka Nacua, and Nico Collins are all expected back this week.

    Off The Waivers: Handcuff Edition: The key to surviving the stretch run.

    • Top Priority: Tyler Allgeier (ATL - proven 3-down back in a run-heavy offense)

    • Immediate Starters: Tyrone Tracy Jr. (NYG - lead back with limited competition)

    • High-Upside Stashes: RJ Harvey (DEN - high-end RB2 if Dobbins goes down), Tyjae Spears(TEN - would skyrocket if Pollard is traded)

    • Deep Leagues: Isaiah Davis (NYJ - three-down skill set), Ollie Gordon (MIA - earning more work)

    First Read: A look ahead to TNF: Ravens at Dolphins (+7.5). Can Lamar Jackson's return and Derrick Henry exploit the league's worst run defense? Or will the Dolphins' hot offense and De'Von Achane expose the Ravens' struggling defense in their warm-weather comfort zone?

    Tune in for the full waiver wire strategy to secure your backfield for the playoff push. And just like Dak Prescott's MVP hopes, we are DONE!

  • Ep. 12: National TE Week! 🏈🎉

    The Vibe: It's National TE Week, and the Chargers' Oronde Gadsden kicked off the celebration with a huge TNF performance. Milton feels for TJ Hockenson, who was left out of the fun thanks to a painful-looking Carson Wentz, and for anyone who started the now-dead Quentin Johnston.

    TNF Recap: The Chargers dominated the Vikings 37-10. The story was the rise of Oronde Gadsden, who led the team in routes and has 19 catches for 309 yards in his last three games. Meanwhile, Quentin Johnston hit season lows across the board, seeing 0 targets for the first time in his career.

    The News: The injury report remains a novel.

    • QB Updates: Brock Purdy is out, so it's the Mac Jones show again. Vikings hope JJ McCarthy is ready for Week 9. Jayden Daniels might only miss one week.

    • WR Woes: Garrett Wilson, Nico Collins, Christian Kirk, and Calvin Ridley are all ruled out. AJ Brown is questionable after not practicing all week.

    • Positive Signs: Lamar Jackson, Stefon Diggs, Terry McLaurin, and Deebo Samuel are all on track to return.

    • Trade Rumors: The Packers have reportedly called the Dolphins about De'Von Achane.

    The Game Script: Navigating a six-team bye week:

    • Jets at Bengals (-6.5): The Joe Flacco Revenge Game is on! The Jets are banged up and won't name a starter.

    • Bills at Panthers (+7.5): A sneaky-good spot for the Panthers' top-10 run defense against a shaky Bills O-line.

    • Giants at Eagles (-7.5): The Eagles look to take out their frustrations after the Giants were fined for a concussion protocol violation.

    • SNF: Packers at Steelers: Aaron Rodgers claims it's not a revenge game, but a win would make him the 5th QB ever to beat all 32 teams.

    • MNF: Commanders at Chiefs: A "lamb going to the Arrowhead slaughterhouse."

    The Depth Chart: Finding starts during the bye-pocalypse:

    • WR: Rome Odunze (CHI - vs. BAL's 28th-ranked pass D), Troy Franklin (DEN - vs. DAL's terrible secondary)

    • RB: Rico Dowdle/Chuba Hubbard (CAR - vs. BUF's 31st-ranked run D), Isaiah Davis (NYJ - if Breece Hall is out)

    • TE: Kyle Pitts (ATL - target share rising), Dalton Schultz (HOU - if he plays, volume is there)

    • QB/DEF/K: Joe Flacco (CIN - revenge game), Bo Nix (DEN - shootout potential). Stream the Falcons (vs. MIA) or Patriots (vs. CLE) D/ST.

    Lock It In: Our strongest picks for Week 8 are Joe Flacco, Rome Odunze, and the Falcons D/ST.

    Tune in for the full breakdown to conquer the byes. And just like Carson Wentz's performance, we are DONE!

  • Ep. 11: BYEmageddon Is Upon Us 🗓️💥

    The Vibe: The bye-pocalypse is here, with six teams off in Week 8. Milton warns to never get ahead of yourself in fantasy, a lesson he learned after a humbling 50-point week. Meanwhile, Vivian is quietly dominating at 6-1. We also take a moment of silence for former RB Doug Martin.

    Pick 6: Our six biggest takeaways from a chaotic Week 7:

    1. London Jags Myth Busted: The Rams flew in late and demolished the "experienced" Jaguars abroad.

    2. Dolphins Freeze Again: A hint of cold and the Miami offense shuts down, losing 31-6.

    3. Judkins Unleashed: Quinshon Judkins exploded for 3 TDs and 26.4 fantasy points.

    4. The Bo Nix Comeback: The Broncos scored 33 points in the 4th quarter to complete a historic 19-point comeback, led by Bo Nix.

    5. Panthers RB Battle: Rico Dowdle is outplaying Chuba Hubbard and is a must-add during Byemageddon.

    6. JSN is Matchup-Proof: Jaxon Smith-Njigba leads the NFL in receiving yards and is chronically open.

    The News: The injury carousel spins on.

    • Major Injuries: Bucs WR Mike Evans (broken clavicle) will miss most of the season. Panthers QB Bryce Young (high ankle sprain) is out, making it the Andy Dalton show. Saints RB Kendre Miller(torn ACL) is done for the year.

    • QB Chaos: Jets benched Justin Fields for Tyrod Taylor. Vikings will start Carson Wentz as JJ McCarthy isn't ready. Ravens' Lamar Jackson remains sidelined.

    • Returns Coming: The Vikings are opening Aaron Jones' 21-day practice window.

    Off The Waivers: Your lifeline for the bye-pocalypse:

    • RB: Kyle Monangai (CHI - bruiser back getting red-zone work)

    • WR/TE: Oronde Gadsden (LAC - target share trending way up), Romeo Doubs (GB - consistent target), Wan'Dale Robinson (NYG - Jaxson Dart's #1), Zach Ertz (WSH - target share rising with injuries)

    • QB: Aaron Rodgers (GB - revenge game matchup), Joe Flacco (CIN - averaging 229 yds/game, faces his old Jets team)

    First Read: A look ahead to Thursday Night Football: Vikings at Chargers (-2). It's a battle of two teams desperate for a win. Can the Vikings' stout defense travel, or will Justin Herbert and the Chargers' offense get right at home? The key matchup is Minnesota's run game against a Chargers defense that has allowed the second-most rushing TDs.

    Tune in for the full waiver wire strategy to survive the byes. And just like Justin Fields's aggressiveness, we are DONE!

  • Ep. 10 You're Fired and Everyone Is Dead 📉⚰️

    The Vibe: Vivian returns from her Greek Bye to a brutal week of firings and broken bodies. But Milton found a bright spot in a thrilling, vintage Joe Flacco vs. Aaron Rodgers shootout on TNF that had him feeling like a kid again.

    TNF Recap: The Bengals outlasted the Steelers 33-31 in an old-man QB battle and TE showcase. A petty Aaron Rodgers froze out DK Metcalf after two first-half INTs. The Bengals won despite surprise inactives on defense, making Trey Hendrickson a major trade target?

    The News: The coaching and injury carnage continues.

    • FIRED: Titans HC Brian Callahan is out, replaced by the uninspiring Mike McCoy.

    • QB Updates: Lamar Jackson is expected back Week 8. Joe Burrow is on track for a mid-December return, setting up a potential QB controversy in Cincinnati.

    • Injury Bloodbath: A massive list of key players are out or questionable, including Garrett Wilson, Puka Nacua, Terry McLaurin, Deebo Samuel, Brock Bowers, Calvin Ridley, and David Njoku.

    • Returns Imminent: CeeDee Lamb, Mike Evans, George Kittle, and Jalen Coker are all on track to return this week.

    The Game Script: Navigating the Week 7 minefield:

    • Dolphins at Browns: A fantasy wasteland. Expect 50-60 mph wind gusts and heavy rain. STAY AWAY.

    • Eagles at Vikings: A get-right spot for Philly, especially if Carson Wentz can't even start for Minnesota.

    • Pats at Titans: Drake Maye is playing MVP-level football and gets a dream matchup.

    • Raiders at Chiefs: Rashee Rice is back and will be thrown into a "heavy workload" immediately.

    • Commanders at Cowboys: A potential shootout with both secondaries battered by injuries.

    The Depth Chart: Finding starts in the wreckage:

    • WR: Jaxon Smith-Njigba (SEA - leads NFL in yards), Rome Odunze (CHI - strong matchup)

    • RB: Rhamondre Stevenson (NE - vs. TEN's league-worst run D), Quinshon Judkins (CLE - weather-proof role vs. MIA's soft run D)

    • TE: Tyler Warren (IND - Colts' best pass-catcher), Zach Ertz (WSH - target share rising with injuries)

    • QB/DEF/K: Jayden Daniels (WSH - shootout potential), Jordan Love (GB - vs. ARI). Stream the Patriots (vs. TEN) or Seahawks (vs. HOU) D/ST.

    Lock It In: Our strongest picks for Week 7 are Rhamondre Stevenson, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and the Patriots D/ST.

    Tune in to help your team survive the chaos. And just like the freshly fired Brian Callahan, we are DONE!

  • Ep. 9: No One Is Safe (Not Even Your Kicker) 🦵💀

    The Vibe: The injury apocalypse rages on, claiming even kickers now. Milton is surviving, going 3-6, while Vivian checks in from Greece, proving her ultimate fantasy football commitment knows no borders.

    Pick 6: Our six biggest takeaways from a wild Week 5:

    1. Never Trust Cardinals RBs: The backfield is a chaotic vulture-fest.

    2. Justin Fields: A fantasy sweetheart, even in real-life losses.

    3. Rehabbed QBs: Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold are fully revived after early career turmoil.

    4. Revenge is a Dish Best Served Cold: Stefon Diggs torched his old Bills team with 10 catches for 146 yards.

    5. Chiefs & Eagles Exposed: Both top teams showed major flaws in shocking losses.

    6. The Great WR/CB Swap: Travis Hunter had his best offensive game, while Ja'Marr Chase logged a career-high 3 tackles.

    The News: The injury report is a horror show.

    • Kicker Down! Colts K Spencer Shrader is out for the season after a brutal collision.

    • Major RB Hits: Patriots' Antonio Gibson (torn ACL) is done. Chargers' Omarion Hampton (ankle) is on IR. Bucs' Bucky Irving (shoulder) out at least two weeks.

    • QB Concerns: Lamar Jackson (hamstring) and Brock Purdy (toe) are still question marks for Week 6.

    • Potential Returns: CeeDee Lamb, Saquon Barkley, JJ McCarthy, and Terry McLaurin are all trending towards returning soon.

    Off The Waivers: Scouring the wire for healthy bodies:

    • RB: Michael Carter (ARI - new RB1), Kimani Vidal (LAC - more upside than Haskins), Rico Dowdle(CAR - solid handcuff with standalone value)

    • WR: Kendrick Bourne (NE - target hog with Mac Jones), Tory Horton (LAR - big-play potential, a good stash)

    First Read: A look ahead to Thursday Night Football: Eagles at Giants (+7.5). The Eagles are reeling after a 4th-quarter collapse and held a players-only meeting. Can they get right against a Giants defense that ranks 27th and can't stop the run? Or will the Giants continue their bizarre trend of beating good teams and losing to bad ones?

    Tune in for the full breakdown to navigate another scary week. And just like Joe Flacco's time in Cleveland, we are DONE!

  • Ep 8: Bye Weeks & Bad Breaks 🏝🏥

    The Vibe: Bye weeks are here, and so is a brutal wave of injuries. Milton kicks things off by tipping his hat to the ultimate "dawg," Mac Jones, who is thriving in the 49ers' system after being "damaged goods" in New England.

    TNF Recap: The 49ers beat the Rams 26-23 in a gutsy, "rock-punk" performance. With a massive injury list, the Niners' rag-tag squad, led by Jones, played with heart and fire, sealing the win with a game-ending forced fumble.

    The News: The injury bug has mutated into a monster.

    • Devastating: Dolphins WR Tyreek Hill is out for the season with a dislocated knee and torn ACL.

    • Major QBs Out: Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is ruled out, and 49ers QB Brock Purdy(turf toe) suffered a setback and is week-to-week.

    • RB Carnage: Cardinals RB Trey Benson (knee) is on IR, Jets RB Braelon Allen (MCL) is out 8-12 weeks, and Bucs RB Bucky Irving (foot) is expected to miss Week 5.

    • WR Woes: Terry McLaurin is out, CeeDee Lamb is still out, and Calvin Ridley is not practicing.

    The Game Script: Our look ahead at a depleted Week 5:

    • Vikings vs. Browns (London): A storm in London means heavy rain and wind. Dillon Gabriel starts for Cleveland in what could be a messy, low-scoring affair.

    • Cowboys at Jets (+2.5): A great spot for Justin Fields to air it out against Dallas's leaky secondary.

    • Patriots at Bills SNF: The SUPER REVENGE GAME as Stefon Diggs returns to Buffalo for the first time.

    • Lions at Bengals (+10.5): A "big feast incoming" for Detroit against what might be the "worst team in the league."

    The Depth Chart: Navigating the wreckage with sneaky starts:

    • WR: Wan'Dale Robinson (NYG - safe target share with Nabers out), Elic Ayomanor (TEN - PPR flex), Jalen Tolbert (DAL - must-step-up with Lamb/Turpin out)

    • RB: Woody Marks (HOU - role increasing, faces soft Ravens run D), Rachaad White (TB - big boost if Irving is out)

    • TE: Jake Ferguson (DAL - TE2 on the season, target hog)

    • QB/DEF/K: Justin Fields (vs. DAL), stream the Colts (vs. LV) or Cardinals (vs. TEN) D/ST, and target kickers Tyler Loop (BAL) or Cam Dicker (LAC).

    Lock It In: Our strongest picks for Week 5 are Woody Marks, Rachaad White, and the Colts D/ST.

    Tune in to help patch up your roster through the byes and bad breaks. And just like Tyreek Hill, who clapped his way out of the stadium with a smile, we are DONE!

  • Episode 07: Russ is Simmering , The Gridiron Goes Gaelic!⏲🇮🇪

    The Vibe: Milton is back, lamenting the slow-cook style of Russell Wilson's play and the even slower pace of Thursday night's game. The NFL heads to Dublin for a historic international matchup!

    TNF Recap: The Seahawks beat the Cardinals 23-20 in a game they dominated despite the close score. Zach Charbonnet vultured a goal-line TD, while Kyler Murray frustrated owners by refusing to use his elite mobility. A bright spot: Marvin Harrison Jr. finally got the "monkey off his back" with a touchdown.

    The News: The injury report is a minefield of "questionable" tags holding managers hostage.

    • OUT: Mike Evans, CeeDee Lamb, Terry McLaurin, Jayden Daniels

    • Questionable: A long list including Davante Adams, Jaylen Warren, Chuba Hubbard, and Chris Godwin (who is on track for his season debut).

    • Good News: Malik Nabers, Nico Collins, and Xavier Worthy are full participants and expected to play.

    The Game Script: Our look ahead at the key Week 4 matchups:

    • Vikings vs. Steelers (Dublin): The main event! Carson Wentz vs. Aaron Rodgers in a battle of veteran QBs abroad. The Vikings' blitz-happy defense could cause problems for A-Rod.

    • Commanders at Falcons: The Marcus Mariota Revenge Game, Part Deux! A chance for the Falcons' offense to get right against a weak Commanders secondary.

    • Saints at Bills (-16.5): This line says it all. A potential massacre.

    • Browns at Lions (-9.5): A "brutal" matchup for the Browns. "They shoulda worn their brown pants for this one."

    • Packers at Cowboys SNF: The Micah Parsons revenge game against a Lamb-less Cowboys offense. Could we see Joe Milton if Dak gets beaten up?

    The Depth Chart: Our organized run-through of sneaky starts and key situations:

    • WR: Michael Pittman (vs. LAR's small CBs), Romeo Doubs/Matthew Golden (vs. DAL's leaky pass D), Tre Tucker/Jakobi Meyers (consistent targets in plus matchups)

    • RB: Omarion Hampton (vs. NYG's soft run D), Breece Hall (if the Jets remember he exists vs. MIA)

    • TE: Target TEs facing tough defenses, like Harold Fannin/David Njoku (vs. DET) and Juwan Johnson(vs. SEA)

    • QB/DEF/K: Jordan Love (vs. DAL), Packers D/ST (top-ranked), Daniel Carlson (LV - dome game)

    Lock It In: Our strongest picks for Week 4 are Romeo Doubs or Matthew Golden to feast on the Cowboys' secondary, and the Chargers D/ST to rattle rookie Jaxson Dart.

    Tune in for the full breakdown to set your lineups for this international week! And remember, we're not like those other fantasy bros. Just like a simmering Russ, we are DONE!

  • Episode 06: Big Cats 🦁 > Big Birds🐧

    The Vibe: Milton kicks things off with a history lesson: always bet on the Big Cats over the Big Birds. He went 3-3 this week but had a blast thanks to a game-winning "Big Man Carrying the Ball" moment. We also take a moment of silence for former Bengals RB Rudi Johnson.

    Weekend Blitz: A week of blowouts, breakouts, and brutal losses.

    • Panthers 30, Falcons 0: A stunning shutout. Michael Penix looked terrible, and the Falcons are already calling for Kirk Cousins.

    • Vikings 48, Bengals 10: A defensive masterclass from Brian Flores. Isaiah Rodgers made history with two defensive TDs in the first half, burying Jake Browning.

    • Eagles 33, Rams 26: The Eagles' offense finally woke up. Puka Nacua continues his league-winning pace with a massive 45.5% target share.

    • Bears 31, Cowboys 14: Caleb Williams had the best game of his career, Rome Odunze emerged as the clear WR1, and the Cowboys' defense was "beyond terrible."

    • Lions 38, Ravens 30: The Lions took their Week 1 loss personally, sacking Lamar Jackson 7 times. David Montgomery was a fantasy goat.

    The News: The injury carnage continues. Chargers RB Najee Harris (torn Achilles) and 49ers DE Nick Bosa (torn ACL) are out for the season. Cardinals RB James Conner (ankle) is also done. Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb (high ankle sprain) will miss at least two games. Mike Evans (hamstring) is expected to miss multiple weeks.

    Off The Waivers: Your lifeline for a hurting roster.

    • RB: Trey Benson (ARI - lead back with Conner out), Cam Skattebo (NYG - aggressive runner, on a 1,000-yard pace)

    • WR: Tyquan Thornton (KC - target share trending up), Elic Ayomanor (TEN - consistent targets, great hands), Wan'Dale Robinson (NYG - PPR machine)

    • TE: Hunter Henry (NE - a favorite of Drake Maye), Brenton Strange (JAX - stepping into the Evan Engram role)

    • QB: Caleb Williams (CHI) and Daniel Jones (NYG) are still available in many leagues and producing.

    First Read: A look ahead to Thursday Night Football: Seahawks at Cardinals (-1.5). It's a battle for the NFC West lead, but the Seahawks' formidable defense (ranked 2nd in points allowed) should give Kyler Murray trouble. Bet on the bigger, more formidable bird in this one.

    Tune in for the full waiver wire strategy session. Get those claims ready! And as we wish a speedy recovery to James Conner and Najee Harris, we are DONE!

  • EpisodeE 05: Our Pets Heads Are Falling Off 🐶🩼

    The Vibe: Milton ignored Vivian's advice to take his wife on a date for TNF, and while the Dolphins put up a "cute" fight, it was mostly just more dinking and dunking from Tua. The real story is the endless parade of injuries falling like... well, pets' heads.

    TNF Recap: The Bills beat the Dolphins 31-21, but the score is deceiving. It took Tua 26 attempts to get 100 yards. The only highlight was Jaylen Waddle finally catching a TD, though his celebration was "pretty cringe."

    The News: The IR list grows ever longer. Packers WR Jayden Reed is out after successful foot and clavicle surgeries. Vikings RB Aaron Jones is on IR, replaced by Cam Akers. Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (knee) is out, making it the Marcus Mariota show. Key players like Zach Charbonnet, Tucker Kraft, and half the Bears defense are also banged up.

    The Game Script: Our look ahead at the key Week 3 matchups:

    • Falcons at Panthers (+5.5): A get-right game for Atlanta's defense against a terrible Panthers O.

    • Packers at Browns (+8): The Packers' tough defense vs. a statuesque Joe Flacco. Temper expectations for Josh Jacobs.

    • Bengals at Vikings (-3): The Jake Browning revenge game! "They never should've f****** cut me!"

    • Cowboys at Bears (+1): A revenge game for Cowboys DC Matt Eberflus returning to Chicago. A big spot for Dak and CeeDee.

    • SNF: Chiefs at Giants (+6): Someone's 0-2 streak has to end. Could be a massacre.

    The Depth Chart: Our organized run-through of sneaky starts:

    • QB: Mac Jones (vs. ARI's 26th-ranked pass D), Caleb Williams (vs. DAL's shaky secondary)

    • WR: Hunter Renfrow (CAR - somehow relevant again), Matthew Golden (GB - leading the NFL in ASS... Average Separation Score), Wan'Dale Robinson (NYG - PPR machine)

    • RB: Rhamondre Stevenson (vs. PIT's generous run D), Jordan Mason (MIN - lead back with Jones out), Kenneth Walker III (vs. NO - no Charb, all volume)

    • TE: Juwan Johnson (NO - leads all TEs in targets, faces SEA's TE-friendly defense)

    • DEF/K: Stream the Colts (vs. TEN), Falcons (vs. CAR), or Jaguars (vs. HOU). For kickers, target Spencer Shrader, Joey Slye, or Will Reichard.

    Lock It In: Our strongest picks for Week 3 are Kenneth Walker III, Caleb Williams, Rhamondre Stevenson, Romeo Doubs, Juwan Johnson, and the Colts D/ST.

  • Episode 04: Offenses Are Cooking By a Nose, By a Toe 🤥➕🦶

    The Vibe: Milton is riding high after a 4-2 week, fueled by a team built entirely of waiver wire mercenaries. It’s a beautiful chaos that’s working.

    Weekend Blitz: A wild, record-setting week of football is in the books!

    • Giants vs. Cowboys (40-37): Absolute Cinema. A bonkers finish saw Russell Wilson (450 yds, 3 TDs) and Malik Nabers connect for a late TD, only for Brandon Aubrey to win it with a record-tying 64-yard FG as time expired.

    • Bills vs. Jets (30-10): Josh Allen (broken nose and all) did Josh Allen things. Justin Fields came crashing back to earth and is now in concussion protocol.

    • Patriots vs. Dolphins (33-27): Drake Maye looked fantastic, while Tua repeatedly overthrew a wide-open, visibly furious Tyreek Hill. The Antonio Brown quit watch is officially on.

    • Eagles vs. Chiefs (20-17): The Eagles won, and Jalen Hurts told a complaining Chris Jones to "shut your ass up." The Tush Push is beautiful football.

    • Lions vs. Bears (52-21): Ben Johnson ran up the score on his old team. The Bears are bad, but Rome Odunze is legit.

    • MNF Mess: The Bucs won on a last-second drive by Baker Mayfield, while the Chargers defense put the Raiders to bed early.

    The News: The injury carousel spins on. Joe Burrow is on IR and needs turf toe surgery, out for at least 3 months. Justin Fields is in concussion protocol. Vikings QB JJ McCarthy is likely out with an ankle injury, making it the Carson Wentz show. Key defensive pieces like Bears CB Jaylon Johnson (groin, out for season) and Bucs DT Calijah Kancey (pectoral, out for season) are also done.

    Off The Waivers: Your guide to the top pickups to save your season:

    • WR: Wan’Dale Robinson (NYG - target hog), Cedric Tillman (CLE - consistent targets), Troy Franklin (DEN - deep league stash)

    • RB: Quinshon Judkins (CLE - volume is here), Bhayshul Tuten (JAX - involved in Coen's offense), Trey Benson (ARI - passing-down role)

    • TE: Zach Ertz (WSH - tied with Terry in targets), Juwan Johnson (NO - TE3 so far), Harold Fannin(CLE - TE6 so far)

    • QB: Daniel Jones (NYG - must-roster in 2QB leagues after back-to-back 22+ point games)

    First Read: A look ahead to Thursday Night Football: Dolphins at Bills (-12.5). With a banged-up Dolphins defense ranked 28th facing a Bills offense averaging 500 yards a game, this has the makings of a total demolition derby. Tune in to see if Mike McDaniel's seat gets even hotter.

    Get your waivers ready, and as always, like and subscribe! And just like Joe Burrow's ligaments, we are DONE!
