Welcome to the Fantasy Throw Down Podcast, bringing you the latest updates from the world of sports,

gambling and pop culture, because you can't have a show without hot takes or a Tiger King meme these days.

Know what I'm saying?

Now with over 200 episodes and ready to get after it again, here's your host,

Dwayne calendar.

Hello, welcome to the show everyone.

We're going to get right into it for Thursday night football. We've got a showdown slate between the

Carolina Panthers and one of the worst teams in the league in the Houston Texans. I mean, the Panthers are 8.5 point favorites, you know, 43 overall, over under total.

I mean this is going to be an ugly game. But we have to try to figure out ways of making ourselves

somewhat unique, and we could get cute with it,

but realistically, I would still say if you're only playing

one to five lineups you have to just go in and lock in Christian McCaffrey as your captain play or your MVP play if you're talking about

Fandel.

It's just too obvious of a play, especially with a sight like Fandel that's touchdown

dependent.

McCaffrey is going to get all the work for Carolina's offense,

especially in the red tone.

You have to consider McCaffrey as the captain.

You know, if you're only playing a couple of lineups, it doesn't make sense trying to get cute with it because realistically,

you're not going to get there with another captain to be perfectly honest barring you know some fluke head injury

you know and we don't factor it we don't obviously we don't factor in injuries when we're talking

the FS but like realistically there's not that many ways where McCaffrey does not get there
