What is up, it's the rant. My name is Jeff Rackle, but it is Tuesday, December 13th.

0:20.3

We are now officially in the fantasy football playoffs and game on. If you're still listening,

0:27.1

you're likely at the playoffs. If not, it's kind of weird that you're listening, but I respect it.

0:31.8

But if you are here, you are in the playoffs and you need to make some waiver moves, we're

0:36.4

going to dive into it. This is not a robust waiver run, but there are some key players out

0:41.9

there. So I'm going to get right into it here. We're starting at the top two running backs

0:45.9

who are surprisingly fairly widely available. JK Dobbins is out there in enough leagues

0:51.7

to make the list. Now you have to be available in at least 30% of leagues and he's just

0:57.0

over that. So I don't know, it's worth a peek in your leagues. I know he's probably not

1:01.6

there, but I would go 50 to 100%. This is the time of year where we're just spending

1:05.3

our fab because it isn't going to do us any good in the offseason. The other player is

1:08.8

Zanaven Knight. Knight is available in over 40% of leagues, which is surprising. Maybe

1:14.9

some people thought Michael Carter was going to impact Zanaven Knight's usage. That didn't

1:19.8

happen. Knight's a clear lead back in early downs, averaging five yards per carry over

1:26.0

his last three games. That's not going anywhere down the stretch. So if those guys were out

1:29.8

there, there are moustads. Now I realize, again, probably not out there. Traylon Berks.

1:35.6

I go 30% on Traylon Berks. He's available in half of leagues, which is wild. Perhaps he

1:42.5

was dropped with the concussion, but he should get back on the field this week. And he was

1:47.3

really coming on strong right before the concussion two weeks ago. Should be a wide receiver

1:52.7

three down the stretch. How about this? Evan Ingrove, 20% now. I don't expect last week

1:59.0

to happen again. And they do have a relatively tough run of games for the fantasy football

2:04.8

playoffs, but by the same token, Titan is terrible. It's brutal. It is so tough to field
