Hey, everybody. It's Monday, October 13th, 2025. Welcome to the NFL fantasy football podcast,

0:20.8

where we just want to play the rest of the season with injuries off. It's me, your man, M.G., Marcus Grant, joined by Michael F. Florio and Lequan Jones. How are we feeling LQ on this Monday? Gloomy, just like the weather here in L.A. I mean, honestly, our producer, man, Kyrie goes all the way up to Seattle and brings the gloom here, and I'm not happy about this Rams win like I gotta be honest like we got the W but that game would have been totally different Snoot Huntley was in at the first quarter and played all four quarters like I'm not happy right now so my mood matches to weather here in L.A. All right I mean maybe we'll open up some space if you want to just like rant a little bit. Get some things off your chest. I did a TikTok this morning. It's up. It's uploaded. I'm good. I got it all aired out. Has has LQ showed up after a Rams win this year and been happy? I don't think that's happened yet. No. No. I'm like, let me go through and look because, like, I don't, uh, uh, uh, I guess it's too many game. Houston was the last game. I was like, okay, that was weird, right? But we're going to get it together. It'll get right. And then. You're okay after the titans after the titans game in week two i mean

1:28.9

okay tony polly had some high yardage there i didn't like that i mean honestly it's the titans so that's

1:35.0

like we should have blown them out of the water and this raven's game what are we doing like

1:40.4

i'm just gonna stop right now because this can become something that could be a 30 minute

1:45.0

episode of just the Rams so I'm going to save it from my pod so I'm back off now um but go to go to the

1:52.4

clock app go to the tick to if you want to see some of lequan's thoughts about what happened on

1:57.1

sunday against the ravens uh flora how you? I mean, your team plays tonight.

2:01.4

So how are we feeling about that? I feel good. I do think the Falcons are a tough matchup. Their strengths are the Bill's weaknesses kind of thing. I do think people are getting way too, like the Patriots beat the Bills, and now suddenly the Bills are very vulnerable and the Patriots are the team to beat. So I think this is an opportunity for the bills to remind everyone who they are.

2:20.6

But we're about to do news. And I have all three of the players that we are doing injury news and multiple starting lineups this week. So it was a good week for like Stardom Cidham and stuff, my calls, but it was a rough week for some of my fantasy

2:34.2

yeah uh we will dive into a whole bunch of things we got real a mirage we have some backfields

2:39.5

to talk about that are kind of confusing um we'll look at the waiver wire guys to add and some

2:44.9

guys to drop as well but as florio mentioned we do have some news headlines all three

2:49.8

2:52.8

injuries.

2:54.0

We'll start with the Rams, Puka Nakua, dealing with an ankle injury.

2:58.3

The original report is that he was uncertain for week seven.

3:01.4

And I guess it's still sort of that way, although it's looking a lot more likely that he

3:06.1

is not going to play when the Rams go to

3:08.9

London to take on the Jaguars coming up this week. So I mean, LaQuan, look, you watch this team

3:14.1
