Ep. 16: Don't Be a Raider: Your Guide to Not Fumbling the Fantasy Stretch 🏈💎

The Vibe: The fantasy stretch run is here! With just a few weeks left in the regular season, Milton warns against fumbling this critical period, using the hapless Raiders as a cautionary tale. Meanwhile, 8-1 Vivian is here to guide you to the playoffs. We also take a moment of silence for Marshawn Kneeland.

TNF Recap: The Broncos beat the Raiders 10-7 in one of the ugliest games in recent memory. It was only the second game since 1950 where both teams had more penalties than first downs. Bo Nix struggled, and Brock Bowers came crashing back to earth, while a late Daniel Carlson miss sealed the Raiders' fate.

The News: Key updates as we head into the home stretch.

QB Carnage: Jayden Daniels (elbow) is out but won't need surgery. CJ Stroud (concussion) is out. Kyler Murray (foot) is on IR.
RB Roulette: JK Dobbins (foot) is injured again. Rhamondre Stevenson (toe) is out. Kyle Monangai is in line for more work in Chicago.
WR Woes: Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle) is out. Tetairoa McMillan (hamstring) is questionable. Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) is out.
Positive Signs: Saquon Barkley, AJ Brown, Puka Nacua, and Garrett Wilson are all on track to play.

The Game Script: Navigating the Week 10 landscape:

Falcons at Colts (Berlin): A defensive battle? The Falcons have a stifling pass defense, while the Colts boast a top-tier run defense.
Browns at Jets: A "paradox game" featuring two struggling offenses. Expect a low-scoring grind.
Bills at Dolphins: A major AFC East showdown. Can the Dolphins' offense show up against a rival?
MNF: Eagles at Packers: A revitalized Jaelan Phillips called his trade to Philly "the greatest thing that's happened to me."

The Depth Chart: Your key to a winning lineup.

WR: Alec Pierce & Josh Downs (IND - great zone-coverage matchups vs. ATL), Jaylen Waddle(MIA - plus matchup if Bills' CB is out), Matthew Golden & Romeo Doubs (GB - favorable coverage)
RB: Kyle Monangai (CHI - hot hand vs. NYG's soft run D), Quinshon Judkins (CLE - vs. NYJ's 26th-ranked run D)
TE: Theo Johnson (NYG - Dart's favorite red-zone target), Oronde Gadsden (LAC - must-start territory vs. PIT), Dalton Schultz (HOU - vs. JAX's TE-friendly defense)
QB/DEF/K: Jaxson Dart (NYG - rushing upside vs. CHI), Marcus Mariota (WSH - top matchup vs. DET). Stream the Seahawks (vs. ARI) or Ravens (vs. MIN) D/ST.

Lock It In: Our strongest picks for a critical week are Kyle Monangai, Theo Johnson, and the Seahawks D/ST.

Tune in to ensure you don't fumble the fantasy stretch run. Stay sharp, and just like the Las Vegas Raiders' 2025 season, we are DONE!
