Welcome everyone to the score fantasy football podcast.

I'm your host, Justin Boone.

Thanks for joining me today for our final Friday show of

the season and there is no time to waste. So let's get right into it. Let's run through the key

injuries that could impact you in fantasy championships this week. And we will start with

quarterbacks. Jalen Hertz, he missed last week with that shoulder injury, the SC joint sprain,

but he's back at practice this week. And Nick Siriani said that his velocity was good, that his accuracy was good. So we're going to have to see if Hertz can keep that up on Friday. But as of right now, the Eagles aren't tipping their hand for which quarterback is going to play against the Saints. And my suspicion is that they're going to be cautious here, that they're going to go with Gardner Minshu. Again, I really don't think there's any reason to push hurts, especially when Minchu, he was fine last week as the starter. And the Beat Riders also remarked that on Friday, Minchu got most of the first team rep. So I think it's safe to assume that Minchu is going to be the guy. but we're going to have to monitor this one right up until Sunday. And hopefully we get some word overnight, Saturday into Sunday morning from one of the national guys about who's going to start. For the time being, I'm keeping Minchu in the rankings as a low end QB1. If Hertz goes, he's going to be a top five option as usual. You're going to play him.

He might not have as many design runs, but he'll still be really dangerous against the Saints. So if Hertz plays, you're starting him, no questions asked there. Lamar Jackson, he hasn't practiced this week. So the Ravens are likely going to go with Tyler Huntley again. And Huntley, just a low end QB2 versus the Steelers. To a tago by Loa, he's in concussion protocol.

We talked about that one on Wednesday's show. Huntley again and Huntley just a low end QB2 versus the Steelers to a tago by Loa he's in concussion protocol

we talked about that one on wednesday show it was one of the five storylines that i mentioned you

should be watching this week and teddy bridgewater he's going to get the start here he's also just

a qb2 streamer type for fantasy but tyree kill jalen wattle they can still be started with confidence they get a small

knock just because of the quarterback situation but they've really both shown that they can produce

with Bridgewater at the helm even though it was an easier opponent in the last time when that

happened in the Vikings game back in week six now they're getting the Patriots so a little harder

but you're not benching Tyreek or Waddle in this game tyreek still a wide receiver one waddle more in the wide receiver

two range for fantasy just because of the quarterback change and then in terms of some good news here

aaron rogers with the knee trevor lawrence with the toe lawrence and rogers their

quarterback one options for fantasy and we will see if rogers is going to have his full complement of weapons or not this week.

And we will hit on that a little more when we get to the receiver section shortly.

First, we've got to talk about the injured running backs.

James Connor, he's been sitting out of practice with an illness.
