Welcome to the fantasy footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright.

Ah, welcome in.

Friday, December 26th, 2025.

It's the one day that, the one day of five that we don't have football

consecutively. But we're here with you. It is championship week. We did not want to miss the opportunity

to get you prepped up. You know, with amazing advice like Chris Rodriguez start of the week.

That kind of amazing advice.

To be fair, to be fair, his.

It was great advice again.

It was great advice again because the matchup was perfect and you called that and Bill, Bill went crazy.

I mean, this is the second time in the season in which on the start of the week

episode, Chris Rodriguez is totally fine and playing.

And then this time, this was bad news.

I mean, I had, I was, when the news broke that he was out with an illness, I mean, I posted

that immediately.

And I have not, not a couple. I have like tens and tens of people that just didn't get to make the change because of Christmas morning. They were opening presents. They were with the family. This is why Christmas morning should not be playing football. And so people didn't even get to pivot. And this was not like, oh, you've been limited in practice. This was, um, he woke up with the sniffles. Yeah, you got sick and you're out. Also, I almost made this joke like a week ago. I feel like no one ever misses a game due to illness. It's like illness. Oh, they woke up. And then they always just, they hydrate up. They get an IV and and they go out there and they play. And then it's like, when I saw that this was an illness, as his like, oh, he didn't participate. He's, you know, he's got an illness. I'm like, whatever. He'll be fine. He'll be fine. And then it's like, oh, no, okay, you tummy hers. I'm sorry. That's, well, look it for a guy, for a guy so upset about never getting any opportunities,

he sure does miss a lot of games he's going to be the starter for.

It's unfortunate.

That was super upsetting.

And both times that he's missed, J.C.M had big weeks.

105 yards, two touchdowns on only 11 carries.

Yeah, one was 72 yards away, which was pretty awesome.
