Summary
Play your guys! Is it really so simple? Well, no. If you're alive in your fantasy football semifinals, you might have a choice or two at the bottom of your lineup among nauseating options. But the thing is: in a one-week sample size, please don't stress too much! It's not possible to know which scrub will accidentally score a touchdown! We'll discuss our Week 16 philosophies today, plus do some fun DraftKings DFS discussion *and* look way ahead to 2025 and nominate our lists of potential busts in next summer's drafts. Go get 'em! Guests: DFS Expert Jake Trowbridge and Cousin Josh.

| 0:29.3 | are headed into week 16 that is fantasy semi-final week if you're alive in your league and you're looking for advice, I'll give you a little. |
| 0:42.2 | But honestly, you kind of already know what to do. |
| 0:45.8 | Play your guys mostly. |

| 1:15.6 | And I took your advice and I picked up Kendra Miller or I picked up the number one waiver ad, Jalen McMillan. |
| 1:22.0 | And now I'm comparing guys across multiple positions and they all stink. |
