Welcome back, everybody, to the Football Guys Daily Update. You give us 10 minutes and we'll give you

0:04.7

everything you need to know to make you the most informed fantasy football player in your league.

0:09.1

I'm Mike Dempsey alone with football guys own Bob Harris. It is championship week across this fantasy

0:14.5

landscape. We've got a Christmas Day triple header. We've got games on Saturday. We've got a lot of

0:20.6

different levels to this.

0:22.1

So let's dig into it, Bob Harris, beginning with D.K. Metcalf suspended for a pair of games for grabbing a fan and

0:31.1

apparently throwing a punch or a slap at him, whatever you want to call it. He can appeal if he wants to.

0:36.1

Now, the Steelers can clinch the division on Saturday if Baltimore loses to Green Bay or if

0:42.5

Pittsburgh beats Cleveland on Sunday.

0:44.7

If not, Baltimore's at Pittsburgh in week 18.

0:48.6

So this could be very important.

0:50.0

So let's keep it to the fantasy angle, Bob.

0:52.5

Who benefits fantasy-wise if D.K. sits in week 17? I don't know if there's a wide out who gains much. Maybe Adam Feelein. I mean, he was wide receiver 39 this past week. You know, Aaron Rogers seems to have a little confidence in their forecast. It's 49 yards. But I don't think I'd be relying on that in a championship. It's Kenneth Gainwell and Jalen Warren, who are the playable assets that might benefit

with Gainwell's role in the passing attack, a bit stronger on the Holden Warrens.

1:16.7

He's like second on the team in receiving.

1:18.6

I think whatever targets I'd be interested in would be going his way or Warren's way.

1:23.5

Those are the two pieces I'm playing.

1:25.4

And this might lower Roger's ceiling, but I don't know that it takes

1:28.4

him out of second quarterback territory if you've been playing him in Superflex or two QB leagues. Okay. So that's what is going to be my follow-up, the impact on Aaron Rogers. So we just keep an eye on what D.K does. But you would be safe to assume it's not going to get less into anything more or or less than a one game suspension. So he's not going to play this week.

1:45.9

It would seem pretty clear one game suspension. So he's not

1:45.0

going to play this week. It would seem pretty clear. All right. So the Steelers do play the

Browns this weekend coming up. And Quinshan Junkins, we know will not be there because he has
