Summary
Marcas Grant and Michael F. Florio are back for another Monday edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast live from the Fantasy Lounge! The guys start off by making sense of both the Jets’ and Commanders’ weapons this week as Mike White will once again get the start for New York in addition to Carson Wentz most likely making his return for Washington. They also talk about some of their biggest takeaways from this past weekend including a few potential league-winning players going into championships and a team that could have two WR1s next year. They also dive into some of Week 16’s top performers, some waiver-wire targets, and some helpful lineup tips for a do-or-die Week 17.
Finally, the hosts discuss who they think will lead the charge going into next year by doing a 2023 1st ROUND MOCK DRAFT!

| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. |
| 0:02.6 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:14.5 | Hey, everybody. |
| 0:15.4 | It's Monday, December 26, 2020. |
| 0:18.2 | Welcome to the NFL fantasy football show. |
| 0:20.6 | It's me, your man, M.G. Marcus Grant, joined by Michael F. Florio and the specialists, cast of dozens, how was put on this show each and every day, each and every week. And Florio, how was your Christmas, sir? It was really nice. So went by a couple of friends, which is always nice. So we all brought some food and then we ordered Chinese food for dinner. |
| 0:38.1 | We watched Christmas movies. |
| 0:39.3 | It was a good time. All right. Sounds a little bit like mine. Had some family stopped by the house. We ordered a bunch of Chinese food to just graze on during the day and kind of alternated between some football and some basketball. Sounds like a good day. That was kind of the whole day. So we will kind of go over what happened over the weekend, a little bit odd with most of the games on Saturday and a handful of games on Sunday. But we have our five biggest takeaways, as we always do. We got waiver-wire targets for those of you who have made it through or are expecting to make it through to championship weekend, plus Mad Movers. And we're going to have a first round mock draft in case your season is over. |
| 1:14.3 | We can start looking ahead to next year, and maybe there'll be some surprises in the first round. |
| 1:18.3 | Who knows? |
| 1:19.7 | But let's start, as we always do, with some fantasy headlines, starting in Washington, where Taylor Heineke was benched for Carson Wins during Saturday's loss to the 49ers. |
| 1:29.2 | The benching came after two consecutive turnovers by Heineke in the fourth quarter. |
| 1:34.2 | Wins played the final two drives of the game going 12 of 16 for buck 23 and a touchdown. |
| 1:39.6 | Head coach Ron Rivera said after the game, he isn't sure yet if the move is permanent and that he will name a starter later this week. So just to play devil's advocate, if it is Carson Wince that |
| 1:49.8 | gets the starting job back, how do you feel about the rest of this Washington offense? |
| 1:54.4 | Not as great. The thing is with Taylor Heineke, like, he was selling shirts that says |
| 1:59.8 | Terry's down there somewhere, and that's what we loved about Taylor Heineke is he was getting the most out of Terry McLaurin, the best player in this offense. I believe it was every game but one that Carson Wentz started, that Curtis Samuel was the top target. And in that one, I think he tied with Terry McLaurin. So like, Curtis Samuel gets a boost here. |
| 2:19.1 | I think it's a downgrade for McLaurin and Jahan Dodson, though. I was going to say, I definitely think Samuel gets a boost. I weirdly think Dotson might keep some value. I think the ceiling stays high. The floor gets a little bit more unstable just because Wince is going to throw some Yolo balls. And I think that potentially helps Dotson. |
| 2:34.4 | I do think McLaurin takes a big hit, though, |
| 2:36.7 | because early in the season when it was Carson Wins, we didn't see much of Terry McLaurin in this offense at all. So that is very much concerning. Would you start Wince, say, like a 2 QB league against the Browns? It would depend on options. He's not even like a guaranteed start in two quarterback leagues, I don't think. See, that's the other question, too. Like, I don't know that I would touch him. But neither is Taylor Heineke, really. Eh, that's probably fair. That's probably fair. So, yeah, I don't know. Take a look at your options. Well, I'm sure we'll talk Waver Wire. Maybe his name will appear. I make no guarantees there. Quarterback news in New York, |
| 3:09.5 | Mike White has been cleared by doctors. He will start at quarterback for the Jets on Sunday against the Seahawks. New York in a bit of a slump. And Zach Wilson looked absolutely awful on Thursday night. White's been dealing with a rib injury and now with him back under center. Would you start any |
| 3:24.9 | jets in championship week? Yeah, I definitely think Garrett Wilson is back in play. He was being, |
