Summary

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter (@DennyCarter) and Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) do their best to make sense of a confusing Week 18, sifting through which teams are actually trying, which players are actually playing, and who just might be a good “sicko” play in DFS. They, as always, debate the Chiefs, as well as the projected high-scoring environment in Vikings/Lions, the Dolphins’ likely approach, the Packers’ passing-game woes and much more. That includes which players are chasing final-week contract incentives.

1:05.7	Week 18 is just a really, really wild scene.
1:07.9	We're going to take you through every game.
1:09.0	That, of course, includes beginning with the game of – many are saying the game of the year, the football game of 2025,

1:23.2	this is real. We used to be a country territory. That's right. Finally, getting above 52.5. No one's been
1:28.9	above 525 in 42 years. And as I just turned yellow on the video feed in case you're watching.
1:34.0	So we're going to get in to the entire week 18 scene. But, yeah, Denny, I think he's allowed back.
