Summary

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter and Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) break down the entire post-Christmas Day slate, beginning with Cardinals/Bengals. Did Marvin Harrison Jr.’s return spell doom for Michael Wilson? They also go long on Bears/49ers and Rams/Falcons, dissecting Drake London’s return from injury, the 49ers’ game plan if George Kittle can’t go, and Chicago’s skill corps situation. They evaluate several thorny quarterback injury conundrums and touch on every fantasy-relevant player in what is championship week for most managers.
