Guaranteed Human.

Today it's a fantasy live edition of the fantasy football podcast.

I'm Patrick Claibon.

I'll be joined by Marcus Grant and Adam Rank. Coming up today, it's Thanksgiving week, so we're taking a deep dive into the fantasy

triple header on Thursday. Plus, Marcus Grant has five players that fantasy owners should

avoid during this week's holiday. And Adam Rank has a surprise running back to Target on the

Waver Wire. That's all today on the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast.

Hey, everybody, welcome to NFL Fantasy Live. Patrick Claibon here with Adam Rank and Marcus

Grant kicking off week 13 in the National Football League.

Oh, did you go? Did you go full government? National football?

Yes. Not the NFL. You go full government.

On the league's name. On this show, which we will start with some humble brags. Do you have any for the people, right? Oh, you know what? You know what?

on the field this week. Yeah, there it is. This nine gets stuck. This nine is, is nine available?

No, or do you have to provide the strays for nine and then nine is born of this year rage

as we get into some rage maybe for Panthers fans? Monday nights me? A little bit, a touch. CMC was pretty good last night, Mark. He's been pretty good all year. He's the overall top score in fantasy football. Plus, you know, I think it under-discussed fact of this was this was a revenge game for him, right? His first time playing the Carolina Panthers.

The 10th game he's had with more than 100 scrimmage yards. At first, I thought they were going to make the whole plane out of Christian McCaffrey.
