This is an I-Heart podcast.

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, the fantasy trade deadline looms this week, so we're taking a deep dive on some strategies you can use to improve your roster. Plus, Marcus Grant has five sleepers for week 12, and Adam Rank has a surprising quarterback to target on the waiver wire. That's all today on the NFL Fantasy Football podcast. Hey, everybody, welcome to NFL Fantasy Lab. Patrick Claibon here kicking off week 12 with Adam Rank and Marcus Grant. Congratulations to everybody who wrapped up a win in week 11, including this guy. Oh, because he got the win while I needed points from Ashton Ginty and both teams decided that they had had enough football for the night. Were they doing the thing where they kneeled down at the end?

Like, what was it, the Buccaneers who did that?

They're like, I know we're losing now, but I'm just going to take a knee. I mean, I thought it was funny that the Cowboys tried to take a knee, and then the Raiders had too many players on the field, which gave the Cowboys extra yards. It's like they're trying to end it, and you're still getting them closer to the end zone.

Yeah, we promise there were things that were enjoyable about last night.

Let's get to the Monday Night Football Recap with a look at who performed pretty well, and George Diggins really did, right? Well, once he got into the game, he was suspended for, we don't really know, late to something. Like, listen, I've been to Vegas. I understand all too well. Been stuck in that Southwest terminal for the entirety of the day. I didn't score

nearly 30 fantasy points when I did that, however. And that's the one thing. This is the full

George Pickens experience gets suspended for a drive, scores a touchdown, it's a celebration penalty.

Like, yeah, this is it. But this is for everybody who, going into this game, I talked about

it yesterday. I needed to shoot the moon here. It's like, you know what? You're at the

craps table. You're like, I need everything. I need at least 20, but not 25. I would win both

matchups, but taking one. I would win both matches, but taking one.

I'll come out ahead on that one.

Well, and then there's Dak Prescott, who apparently was missing George Pickens and

C.D. Lamb for that first drive, because it looked sort of brutal at the beginning of the game.

Eventually, he caught fire.

268 passing yards to four touchdowns, 24 fantasy points, which ends kind of a mini slump for Dak. He was below 16 points in his previous two games, but last night, granted it was against a Raiders team that is, shall we say, ungood. It's a reminder of what this Cowboys offense was earlier in the year, what it can be when all the pieces are there,

when everybody is clicking it on the same page. It's the reason that a lot of us got excited about Dag Prescott when they traded away Michael Parsons because they were going to have to go and put the football in the air and score points. So it looks like, at least for one way, it looks like it's back so you can feel a little better about putting DAC in your lineups again. Yeah, well, how can you sit two of the top pass catchers in the league right now?
