Welcome everybody to the score fantasy football podcast. I'm your host, Justin Boone, and I am joined by my co-host and a supervising editor at the score, David P. Woods.

And Woods is a man who, based on his Twitter account today, I think he might be sick of seeing Ben Rathlisberger oversell injuries.

And maybe I should put quotes around the injury part there, but I'll explain for everyone if you didn't see the

game today Rothlisberger went down really hard he was laying on the turf for a while

looked like it could be serious maybe a shoulder maybe a collarbone he ended up getting up

and in classic Big Ben fashion was off for one play came came right back into the game, looked fine.

Woods, he said after the game that he thought that he was dead for a second.

What is going on?

Like, why does he always do this?

I honestly kind of think I've flipped up to the other side of liking it now.

It's like, it's the cool thing is to think it's stupid that Big Ben

plays up all his injuries and wants to be the hero who is, you know, tapes up his ankle and comes out on the field and throws the winning touchdowns. I actually kind of like that he's, he milks these for all that it's worth it. I don't know, he's done it so much that it's sort of turn me over to the other side and I want him to like, I don't know,

a call out for the, for the stretcher every time he gets sacked and then... much that it's sort of turned me over to the other side and I want him to like, I don't know,

a call out for the for the stretcher every time he gets sacked and then miss a play and come right

back onto the field, something like that.

I don't know.

It seems ridiculous to me.

Like I know it's funny and it builds drama, I suppose, or at least in his own head, maybe

it does, but I'm done with it.

I don't need to see it as much anymore. I would like to see him get back up and just try to tough it out. And I know he is a tough guy. He plays through a lot of injuries. That's not the question here. He definitely likes to dramatize it a little bit there. So it doesn't seem like it's going away, so I guess we just got to get used to it. The one today looked like he was out

for the season, like it's going away. So I guess we just got to get used to it.

The one today looked like he was out for the season. Like it legitimately looked like he broke his collarbone. A hundred percent. I mean, saying that he thought he died is obviously insane hyperbole, but he is a tough guy. I was surprised that he got up from that. If he just said, wow, I thought I broke my collarbone, but I didn't. People would still see him as a tough guy, but no, he's gone all the way to thinking that he died. So I don't know where you go after this because you can't get much more hurt than dead. All right, on today's episode, we're going to discuss all the key fantasy takeaways from Sunday's action, including some absolutely massive performances,
