Welcome to the fantasy throw down podcast bringing you the latest in sports news fantasy analysis and opinions don't forget the hot takes can have a sports show without hot takes these days.

What about hot cakes though? I want some hot cakes.

Now here's your host ready to jump into the thick of things. Dwayne calendar.

Good morning everyone. It is a scramble edition of the show because the injury reports are

flying in Fast and Furious and it is a absolute land mind of a day for week 17 in the NFL season so let's get right down to it with the NFL lineups I could talk about some of the wins I had for betting purposes

but honestly we got too much to talk about with NFL lineups right now and not a
