Welcome into the fantasy focus. It is our week eight recap show. If you're listening to this, it is now Halloween.

0:19.5

Happy Halloween. Although we're recording this on Sunday night, of course, fantasy focus football is presented by Geico,

0:25.6

switch to Geico to see all the ways that you can save. I am field. She is Liz. Happy Halloween.

0:31.3

Slash night before Halloween. Liz, what a Sunday it was for fantasy football.

0:34.7

I mean, this Sunday dressed up like a mid season form NFL Sunday, right?

0:40.9

For Halloween. It's about time, Liz, because there were some ugly like 97, 94 fantasy winds.

0:47.1

None of that this week. If you want this week, you likely want in a major, major shootout.

0:53.2

We have a ton to get to Liz all kinds of storylines we want to dive into sort of our first thoughts from the week eight slate,

1:00.3

at least of the games that have been played, but not long before you and I are here having this conversation,

1:05.5

we saw news at the end of the game between the 49ers and the Rams that Cooper Cup had left the game due to what Sean McVay

1:13.6

believes is an ankle injury. He was not clear immediately after the game, the nature or severity of it.

What are you doing here? I don't know. I mean, John McVay, I have to imagine when we talked on Wednesday about John,

they desperately wanting to one up his former boss Kyle Shanahan that maybe some hubris played into this. Just didn't want to lose by that much.

1:51.4

And in the process may have, I'm sure Stefania will have more really hurt his number one receiver slash offensive weapon.

2:00.6

Yeah. And perhaps the most valuable player in fantasy football, or at least one of the five to six most valuable players in fantasy this year,

2:07.6

more to come as we get more information on Cooper Cup. Let's dive into the Sunday that was Liz. We're kind of bouncing around.

2:13.4

But the first thing we'll talk about is the first thing that happened. If you have Travis, he and on your roster right now, Liz, he is.

2:19.6

I want you to feel on the blank a top what running back for the rest of the season. 12, I think easy 12, right? I was going to say more aggressive than that. Yeah.

2:29.2

But he's right. I mean, tell me more. What do you think? What'd you see?
