Hey, everybody.

It's Wednesday, December 21st, 2022.

Welcome to the NFL fantasy football show.

It's me, your man, M.G. Marcus Grant, joined by Michael F. Florio and the specialist cast of dozens. That was put on this show each and every day, each and every week. And here we are. We have made it to the penultimate week of the fantasy season. I'm not counting week 18 because you guys are all psychos if you're still playing. And I don't really want to acknowledge you. So this is, this is it. This is the week before the week. Are you still alive? How many leagues are you still alive in at this point? I have four teams still alive. Two of them are super flexes where Jalen Hertz was my first pick. And in each of them, my opponent had more fab than me. So they have Garner garner minchu now not me so it's a good chance there's probably two teams left at best after this week right now i mean i think i'm

i'm playing in some consolation brackets but we won't discuss those but i do have a team that had a buy

last week uh and but now i got some injuries in certain places. It's going to be rough. I'm hoping

Damien Harris can play. Like that's where I am right now. I'm meeting him to play to how to help me out this week. Yeah, we're in the nitty-gritty part of the season for sure. It is absolutely rough. We are here to help you. So for that point, we're going to do our heroes and villains. We have our game previews for week 16, some sleepers, and because it is the holiday season, we will play a little bit of Santa or

crampus. Plus, we have a festivist pole, apparently, in the building, and we're going to air

some grievances a little bit later on in the show. So get ready for that. But we are going to

start, as we always do with our fantasy headlines. And you mentioned

Jalen Hertz. Well, he told reporters Tuesday that there's definitely a chance. Apparently he's

Lloyd Christmas and dumb and dumber. So you're saying there's a chance that he plays Saturday

against the Cowboys. Hertz is dealing with a sprained shoulder. He suffered that against the Bears last

Sunday. Head coach Nick Siriani also told the media on Tuesday that Hertz is dealing with a sprained shoulder. He suffered that against the Bears last Sunday.

Head coach Nick Siriani also told the media on Tuesday that Hertz is a quick healer and he

wouldn't rule him out. That's kind of what they said about Jamar Chase and then he missed like a month.

Clearly you're starting Hertz if he plays. If he misses the game, do you pivot to Gardner Minshu?

Or there's some other quarterbacks maybe you like better?

Daniel Jones is the only option that might be out there that I think I like more than Gardner Minchu.

Jones has a great matchup against the Vikings.
