Well, welcome everyone to the score fantasy football live week 14, the first week of the fantasy playoffs.

I'm your host Justin Boone lead

fantasy analyst at the score if you've been following me all season you already

know that but I appreciate you tuning in today we only got a couple of these live

shows left actually we're only gonna do this week and then next week because the

week after is Christmas week and Christmas Day falls on the Friday so I know know there's a game that night. I'll have my rankings updated. Don't worry. That'll be the fantasy championships, but we're not going to be doing a live show the afternoon of Christmas Day because I think my family would kill me if I tried to do that. So either way, we've got lots of craziness coming up over the next few weeks here as we try to make a title run. So today we're going to be going over the key injuries for week 14. I'll talk about some of the start sit options. And then we'll take your questions in the Q&A here. So let's get to it. And we can start with running backs. Most of the injuries this week are running backs. And we'll start with Christian McCaffreyalfrey now we didn't have all the info when we were doing wednesday's preview show we had a pretty good inkling that he wasn't going to play this week but now we have he didn't practice at all this week and that makes you start to worry that he might not be available for week 15 either but we'll deal with that next week right now Matt Rull said he doesn't expect him to play

so it's going to be another week of Mike Davis Mike Davis managers are pretty happy about this

you thought you were losing this guy heading into the fantasy playoffs looks like he's going to be

able to give you at least one more week maybe two here and it's worth mentioning that

Davis hasn't gotten as much volume in terms of

snaps over the last couple of games. They started to work in guys like Rodney Smith and Trenton

Cannon. Those guys combined for almost 40% of the snaps in their last game before the buying

week 12. But it's not like Davis was completely pushed to the bench. He still played 57% of the snaps.

He had 18 touches, 79 yards from scrimmage.

So even with CMC out here, it'll be a bit of a committee.

Maybe not what we got from Davis early in the season when he was an RB1,

maybe even a top five option in those first couple games. But you can use them as an RB2. He's a guy that I have no problem putting in my lineup. He should be rested too. They're coming off the buy. So if they were ever going to give him a bigger workload, it could be this week after the buy. I like him as an RB2 against the Broncos. The passing work alone work alone I mean there gives him a fairly

decent floor Josh Jacob so this is one that early in the week it really seemed

like he wasn't gonna play was gonna miss a second straight game with that ankle

sprain then we got a report for Victor over of the athletic and Victor's report

said that he thought he was going to play this week.

And it was kind of surprising when I saw that a couple days ago because everything seemed to be pointing to Jacob's sitting out again.
