| 0:00.0 | There are only two weeks left of the fantasy football season, or at least we hope to make it to that second week, right? Because we're on to round two of the fantasy playoffs. It's win and we're in the finals for so many of us. And if you're tuned into this episode, it means you are one who has a real shot to get there. We're going to do our best to hopefully help you bring it home here for 2025. I'm John Macri,, joined, as always, by PFF's lead fantasy analyst, Nathan Yonke. |
| 0:24.1 | And for this episode of the PFF Fantasy Podcast, we'll be going over all of the top |
| 0:28.2 | waiver wire options heading into week 16, aka round two of the fantasy football playoffs. |
| 0:33.9 | For most of us, I'm not including those crazy week 18 leagues. |
| 0:37.1 | You guys are nuts playing in week 18 leagues. You guys are nuts. |
| 0:38.1 | I'm playing in week 18 for the large majority of people. This is round two of the fantasy football |
| 0:42.7 | playoffs. So Nate, final four for so many leagues. The pressure continues to kind of build as we're |
| 0:48.4 | all knocking on that door and hoping there's a fantasy championship on the other side. So |
| 0:52.6 | hope your teams are still alive and ready to go for round two of the fantasy playoffs. Yeah, for the most part, doing very well. And a lot of leagues, it's not four people in my guillotine league were down to three people. I scored the most points. I have the most money left, so I'm hopeful in that league. Scott Fishbowl was able to advance, and that one was relying on Kenneth Gainwell after |
| 1:12.9 | Chris Rodriguez was out, so I had to make last minute change to Gainwell. |
| 1:17.4 | And luckily, Gainwell pulled through, had lots of receptions, lots of carries, barely |
| 1:22.1 | anyone else in that game did all that much. |
| 1:24.6 | So I was able to advance in the Scott Fish Bowl with the 500 teams left in that one. Wow. But also the one link that you and I are and made it to the semi-finals there. Very nice. Nice. Yeah, this is, yeah, that game will last night. Nice game from him for sure. Yeah, the receptions obviously help. Oh, do you have? He had like 19 points, something like that. So, yeah, I would say that's a nice little Monday night football guy to have in there, especially over some of the other ones. But we, you know, one of those other ones, Darren Waller will talk about him in a little bit. D.K. Metcalf found the end zone as well. But, yeah, hopefully you guys all survived on Monday night and in round one of the fantasy football playoffs and |
| 2:01.7 | you can join us here for round two because we're going to go over all these waiver wire |
| 2:06.1 | options obviously an important stretch here we're going to hopefully add some depth and |
