Thank you so much for downloading and listening to the show today. I appreciate everybody who subscribes to the show as well. And this is the final episode for week 14. Got to get you caught up on all the injury situations and what it might mean for your fantasy lineup. So let's start with quarterbacks. And Baker Mayfield, Brock Purdy, Matthew Stafford. They're all on the injury reports this week. Baker, it's for a need and Achilles. Purdy, it's that shoulder that might not be 100% and Stafford for an ankle, but they're all practicing in full. They're all going to be out there for this game. Baker is a QB1. Purdy and Stafford, more QB2 streamers this week. Aiden O'Connell, he's dealing with an illness. He missed practice on Thursday, but normally guys who are sick, they recover in a couple days. They end up playing on Sunday, and he's back out there today. Antonio Pierce said that he's a full go, so O'Connell will be out there this week as a mid-to-low-end QB-2 streamer. And you already know, Trevor Lawrence, he is out. He's been placed on IR. He's going to be done for the year. And Mack Jones, he put up some better stats last week, but he's still overall a downgrade for the Jags offense. And he's just a risky low end QB2, maybe more of a QB3 for fantasy. It's not somebody that I would want to be playing even in Superflex leagues.

1:28.6

Over to the running backs next. And Bucky Irving didn't practice

1:33.6

for the first two days of the week due to hip and back injuries. Was back out there this morning

1:37.8

in some capacity. We won't get the official injury designation until later this afternoon, but

1:43.0

it seems like Irving is trending in the right direction.

1:45.8

And if he does play, he's an RB1 based on his recent performances.

1:49.7

He's a potential league winner like we've talked about on the show before.

1:53.2

And the matchup with the Raiders is a pretty good one.

1:55.6

So that would make him that strong RB1.

1:58.3

It would also make Rashad White a high-end fantasy RB3. But if Bucky's held out

2:03.1

for some reason, which I'm not expecting, but if that does happen, then White moves into the

2:07.3

RB2 territory and Sean Tucker would become an upside RB3. Remember, Tucker excelled in a relief

2:12.8

spot earlier this season. He could do it again here if Irving is out a breeze Hall's frustrating

2:18.5

season that continues he came off the by week he was dealing with the new knee

2:22.3

injury last week managed to ramp up his practice participation before that one

2:26.4

and he did play in the game but he was seen limping around the sidelines during

2:30.1

that contest and now this week hasn't practiced Wednesday or Thursday wasn't seen out there for the early part of Friday practice either and if he was limited or if he was full today he'd at least have a shot to play and that's not out of the question sometimes we find out later that guys miss the early part of practice that the media gets to see but then eventually they do practice later in the day when the rest of the team

2:51.0

is out there. I'm not sure that's going to be the case here. And even if he did play with the

2:56.7

injury, with the risk of aggravation, he would just be down in the low end RB2 ranks. That's where I had

3:01.7

him ranked earlier in the week. Right now, it seems more like Brees is not going to go. And that

3:07.0

would make Braylon Allen an RB2, would make him a solid fantasy start
