This is an I-Heart podcast.

Hello, everybody.

Welcome into the Fantasy Pro's football podcast.

I'm Ryan warmly joined as I am every Tuesday by Andrew Erickson.

Erickson, it's only the second to last episode we are doing of this show in its current

iteration of a trade, you know, discussion show because the trade deadline is going to

hit in many fantasy leagues here in just a couple of weeks. So what we're going to do, just a little housekeeping, keep people kind of appraised of what's coming ahead. We've got this week's show. We're going to do one more next week. We're going to take that Tuesday off the week of Thanksgiving. And then we are coming back with a different version of the show. It'll still be Erickson and me. It'll still be on Tuesdays.

We'll be doing some more prediction-based stuff for each and every week, but it will look a little different. So if you have trade questions, this is the next two weeks to get them in. Erickson, are you excited to be kind of transitioning into the, like, fantasy playoffs-ish section of the season? and it feels like it comes very quickly,

but it's kind of an exciting time, too.

Yes, I am, because to be honest, I'm starting to run out of names of by low, sell high on X players, because sometimes I keep going back to certain players because I just feel very strongly about, I really want this guy on my roster or I really don't want this guy on my roster, but for the sake of the content, I don't

want to be so repetitive, but I also want to be right and want to be accurate. So I know that we were getting annoyed by Trayvian Henderson every single week. By low. Bylaw, Trayvian Henderson, like, don't give up. And it ended up working out. Trayvon Henderson. Smash. Second half lead winner, hopefully for the Patriots running back.

But yeah, I'm ready to get the playoffs schedules.

Talk about those today with some of these bye. second half league winner, hopefully for the Patriots running back. But yeah, I'm ready to get the playoffs schedules.

Talk about those today with some of these buys and sells.

And also talking about if you need a player to get into the playoffs.

So someone that has an immediate schedule that's favorable, maybe that can also help too.

So two more weeks, get your questions in.

And hopefully you can make some trades that'll help you win your league.

Erickson, I once again was not able to watch Monday Night Football. I am a YouTube TV subscriber, and, you know, I'm not going to go out of my way to pay for an ESPN app just for one game every week. So until they figure it out, I am not watching the Monday night games. I hope the Ravens don't have any Monday night games the rest of the season because then I might actually be forced into it.

But for now, I am not watching the Monday night games. I hope the Ravens don't have any Monday night games the rest of the season, because then I might actually be forced into it. But for now, I am not. Didn't seem like I missed a whole lot, though. 10 to 7 and that scoring all coming in the second half. This was a nothing, nothing tight half time. I was following along the box score as it happened. and a lot of dud performances from some of the folks that we really rely on, you know, Sequin Barclay, not a dud, but wasn't this big explosive game. Devante Smith did have a good game, which I know you had talked about. A.J. Brown did not. That was a dud game. Jalen Hertz, not living up to his usual self, just one touchdown in this game. Josh Jacobs, pretty good, 74 yards in a touchdown. Jordan Love did not have any touchdowns and do anything and really nothing going in the receiving game for the Packers. Was this more of like, oh man, like Tucker Craft is gone and AJ Brown having a bad game and that was hurting them? Or was this more of like the defenses really showed up? I mean, again, I didn't watch the game, so I can't really speak to it very well. I think it's really more about the defenses. I think they're two of the better defenses in the NFL and can perform at a top 10 level. Also playing on the road at Lambo, it's always going to be a tough draw for any opposing offense, even one that can be as good as the Philadelphia Eagles. So both teams also had

offensive line injuries. Elton Jenkins got hurt for the Packers. Lane Johnson got hurt for the Philadelphia

Eagles. And he's a big piece for them up front. You see the splits when he doesn't play,
