Hello and welcome to PFF fans, the football podcast. I'm your hosting and hearts. Happy week 18. We've got some injuries to talk about. And by we, I mean myself,

playing McFarlane and Andrew Erickson, PFF's finest guys. How's it going? Andrew, you can say something first. I'm feeling great today. I think that this, this is going to be like one of the best podcasts I think we ever did.

I've ever done it in 2022. I think this is going to be really good. I'm excited to talk about these injuries week 18 last last to raw. So I'm glad to have everyone. Everyone on board. Great to be great. Andrew, you're exemplifying that very attitude here on like the 409th edition of this podcast.

It's going to be the best. Why the hell not? Do I need similar energy? I hope. Yeah, similar and similar energy. I mean, I feel like a lot of pressure now because of Andrew, but you know, I always try to bring in and sometimes, you know, when I'm, you know,

podcasting with you, it's hard to seem as energetic as you like, because you're like always like up here. So I'll try. I'll try. I'll do my best. That's, that's all we can ask. That's all we can ask. So everyone, usually we just go straight into injuries, but I do want to quickly go through some incentives that players have and also some teams that will more or less be taking the week off. So we've now referenced these incentives on multiple podcasts. This will be the third. But I do think they're important enough to once again go over again. Special shout out to Anthony Amico for being a free.

And God in the fantasy industry and rounding these all up together, you should follow him on Twitter at AMIC STA. I'm, I'm, I'm extra. Yeah, I don't know. Well, you know what? My name is pretty freaking hard to say too. So the, no, no, that's his Twitter. Go follow him. Anyway, with these incentives, Cooper Cop needs 12 catches 136 receiving yards for single season records. 171 yards away to get to 2 grand. Tom Brady will get an extra 500 K for being top five and passer rating touchdown passes past yards completion rate or yards.

For a temp also 488 passing yards from a single season record fully expecting Brady and company to throw in the ball as much as possible.

Do I need trying to make as much noise as possible? Like is that I was trying to turn off my space heater because it was making noise and then I love my chair. My chair just made way more noise. Yeah, like this room gets super cold.

I love my space. Now that we've already lost the chance to be the best podcast episode ever. I guess we'll continue to move. We just got it out of the way.

Aaron Rodin gets an extra 100 K for being top three and passer rating completion rate, interception rate, yards per attempt and touchdown passes. He is going to start, but I do think it will be tough to expect him to play in more than 30 minutes at masks.

Jeff on digs can get an extra 1.5 million out of his base contract over the next two years if he can get to 100 catches and 1375 receiving yards needs six catches and 231 yards to get their biggest issue for him might just be that buffalo wind.

I think probably the two most actionable ones from this group Rob Grunkowski and Mike Evans Evans is just 54 receiving yards away from 1000.

Grunk gets 500 K each for 55 catches 755 receiving yards and nine touchdowns. He needs seven catches 85 yards and three touchdowns to get there.

It does look like the mark chase might be active to start. He's only 12 yards away from the bangles single season record 45 yards away from the most ever by a rookie, but not expecting him to be out there enough to be a realistic DFS target.

Mark Andrews 141 receiving yards away from Kelsey's record for tight ends Jonathan Taylor 266 rushing yards away from 2000 on the ground Cal pits 59 receiving yards away from Mike Dicco's rookie tight end record.

I won't do my usual rant on that to save some time sexy, Rexie Burkhead. Thanks for adding that note in their Andrew 103 scrimmage yards away from getting 125 K needs 600 and fit.

He's 650 yards to get there. Is that what you're trying to write? He needs. He needs six. He needs 650 total on the year. Yeah, no, he needs 650 in week 18.

My goodness, worst podcast ever coming to everyone. AJ Green is 75 yards away from 250 K reaching a season long total of 900 yards.

Dwayne, are you with me where just in terms of looking at this, you know, actionable, what are we making of this in DFS? I want to stack Brady with Gronk and Evans in every term a lineup I have.

Yeah, I mean, I want to use him for sure. It won't be all of my lineups, but I've already built like six lineups. I usually try to have 20 like for the weekend. And I think five of them have Brady in it.

So I've definitely been tinkering with like Evans has me the most excited just because, you know, the potential target funnel that he just hasn't seen all season.

We know that Gronk can get there, but I'm the only thing I don't like is on DK. It's like I wish Evans would have come down, you know, some more from where he was to start the season.
