TNF Reactions – Lions vs. Steelers (Starts at 01:46)

Game Recap: Detroit Lions win 44-30 over the Steelers, combining for 74 points in a frantic, high-scoring game.
Notable Performances:
- Jameer Gibbs: 3 touchdowns with 7 receptions.
- Jameson Williams: 7 receptions for 96 yards, almost breaking one for a score.
- Amon-Ra St. Brown: 6 for 92, played through injury.
- Javonte Williams: Solid with 17 for 67 and a TD.
- Notable Quote:
  “Somehow in a game with 74 points, there were only two passing touchdowns.” — Jason (03:01)
Major Disappointments:
- George Pickens: Just 5 for 37 on 9 targets despite Lamb's early exit.
  - “Pickens didn’t even try to come back to the ball… egregiously bad to me.” — Mike (05:30)
  - Pickens under scrutiny for effort, especially on a critical deep shot.

Major Injury and Player News (Starts at 08:17)

CeeDee Lamb: Left early with concussion; optimism he may return for fantasy playoffs.
Tee Higgins: Full practice – trending towards return.
Dalton Kincaid: Limited, added with knee issue.
Chris Olave, Mike Evans: Limited practices.
Jaden Daniels: Full practice, likely to return.
Lamar Jackson: Sat out Thursday practice (stepped on) but expected to play; recent poor fantasy production a concern.
- “These last couple of weeks, Lamar has been really, really bad for fantasy... if there are other good options, like Stafford, I’d do that.” — Andy (10:45)
Marvin Harrison Jr.: Not practicing (updated later in show as OUT).
Rams WR Devontae Adams: Limited in practice.

Matchup Previews & Fantasy Analysis

Colts at Jaguars (Starts at 13:20)

Both teams 8–4, pivotal division game.
QB Debate: Trevor Lawrence (stream/start of the week)—but Andy prefers Lamar over Lawrence, despite concerns.
RB: Jonathan Taylor a must-start if healthy. Travis Etienne's usage is a worry with Bash Altutin involved, but still a playable RB against a struggling Colts run defense.
WR Debate: Brian Thomas Jr. polarizing; Andy would play Pittman, Sutton, and Alec Pierce over Thomas this week.
- “I just don’t have any confidence at all in Brian Thomas Jr.” — Jason (20:40)
Notable Trend:
- “This is a great matchup to figure it out... they’re going to need to score.” — Andy (21:10)

Ravens at Steelers (Starts at 26:01)

Both teams 6–6, playoff implications abound.
Lamar Jackson: Risky play in a tight, low-scoring divisional game.
Derrick Henry: Mike & Jason bullish based on Steelers' weak run D:
- “They’re 30th in fantasy points given up to running backs...” — Jason (27:08)
Jaylen Warren: Must-play.
Zay Flowers: Seen as flex/bench, too inconsistent; debate about ceilings:
- “He hasn’t scored since week 1... has more catastrophic games than Zay Flowers.” — Mike (29:20)
Steelers WRs: Passing offense extremely limited, no 250+ yard games all season.

Broncos at Raiders (Starts at 32:14)

Denver favoured (-7.5), over/under 40.
Broncos’ recent wins all by very tight margins.
- “That is the smallest margin of victory for any team in a four game win streak in NFL history.” — Jason (32:48)
Receivers: Sutton is the only one you can trust; rest of WRs/TEs are “monitor only.”
RB Jermaine Harvey: Analytics aren’t promising, but volume keeps him in low-end RB2/ flex consideration.

Bears at Packers (Starts at 36:10)

Green Bay favorited by 6.5 at home; cold-weather game (18 degrees)
Jordan Love: Recent spike in play, but concerns about weather.
Christian Watson: Target share climbing, possible start over Brian Thomas Jr.
Josh Jacobs: Heavy workload, managers “micro-analyzing” his post-carry body language (04:18).
TEs: Green Bay limits TEs recently (4.1 FPPG allowed last 6 weeks).

Rams at Cardinals (Starts at 44:43)

Big spread, Rams heavy favourites (+8.5); Cardinals officially ruled out Marvin Harrison Jr.
For Rams:
- Kyren Williams is a must-start; Blake Corum only in very deep leagues.
- “Is Matthew Stafford your start of the week?” — Andy (46:56)
For Cardinals:
- Michael Wilson a good volume play (especially with Harrison out).
- Trey McBride a smash start at TE, targets in the teens likely now.

Chiefs at Texans (Starts at 47:51)

Must-win for KC, favored by 3.5.
Chiefs:
- Travis Kelce needs to step up.
- Rashi Rice viable, but rest of receiving options limited by Texans’ stingy D.
Texans:
- Nico Collins a must-play; top 10-12 WR upside even in difficult matchups.

Eagles at Chargers (Monday Night) (Starts at 51:33)

Eagles favored, but both offenses have stumbled post-bye.
For Chargers:
- Offensive line in shambles; Justin Herbert expected to play post-surgery.
- WR Keenan Allen is the only confirmed, high-upside option.
RB debate: RJ Harvey vs. Saquon Barkley (“Harvey for upside, Barkley for volume”)
For Eagles: A.J. Brown, Devonta Smith must be played, but offensive struggles are real.

Breaking News & Injury Updates (Starts at 55:41)

Marvin Harrison Jr.: Officially OUT.
Kyler Murray: Not expected to play again this season.
Dalton Kincaid: Questionable for week 14.
Trey Benson: OUT.
Weather Impact: Cold/Freezing weather on its own is not a major concern absent wind, snow, rain.
- “If there is not wind and there is not snow and rain, cold, freezing weather does not really have a big impact.” — Andy (56:21)

Fantasy Face Off + Wheel of Shame (Starts at 57:37)

This week’s “Shame” was Jason, donning a full Bob Ross getup—a recurring comic highlight.
Hosts each draft Prize Picks props (all reviewed live; running backs, QBs, wide receivers, and tight ends).
- Notable Projections/Props:
  - Jacoby Brissett (over 248.5 yards)
  - Josh Allen (over 19 completions)
  - Alec Pierce (over 2.5 receptions)
  - Bucky Irving (over 2.5 receptions)
  - Trey McBride (over 7.5 receptions)
“This is so stupid.” — Mike, on the Wheel of Shame/Costumes (59:05)

Memorable Quotes & Segments

On George Pickens’ effort:
“Pickens didn’t even try to come back to the ball… egregiously bad.” — Mike (05:30)
On trusting Broncos WRs:
“I don’t know who to play. 10 and 2. Congratulations. But I don't know who to play.” — Jason (34:40)
Weather analysis:
“If there is not wind and there is not snow and rain, cold, freezing weather does not really have a big impact.” — Andy (56:21)
On Marvin Harrison Jr.'s struggles:
“All year has been awful. I don’t have any confidence at all in Brian Thomas Jr.” — Jason (20:40)
Comedy Highlight:
“Spin the stupid, stupid, stupid wheel. And don't pick a mask that's gonna cut my face open." — Jason (58:12)

Weather concerns should focus on wind and precipitation, not just temperature.
In flex/WR3 debates, the show emphasized recent trends and targets as critical tie-breakers.
Fantasy managers facing playoff crunch time should play matchups, but not be afraid to pivot away from underperforming stars.
