Episode #105 - American Thanksgiving, Injuries + Week 12 Prep

306 Fantasy Football Podcast

Welcome back to the 306 Fantasy Football Podcast and episode #105!

This week we start off the show by sharing our 22Fresh Quick Question of the week! This week's question we discuss the Turducken NFL tradition and the three games on American Thanksgiving. Historically the best players off of the team that wins, goes and eats the turducken while on television, so we are picking possible top performers on the team we think will win. Zach discusses Ceedee Lamb in a matchup against the Commanders and Jordan discusses Amon-Ra St. Brown, as well as Jahmyr Gibbs. We then share a question that was brought forward to us from an avid listener of the pod. He was an owner of Mark Andrews and wanted to know how much to pay up for Travis Kelce and if that was the right move to make for his team. We discuss that at length, as well as some pivot options he could make!

After that, we dive into the Insiders and Headliners, which was littered with big name injuries. The Thursday Nighter was devastating for many managers because we lost Joe Burrow and Mark Andrews to season ending injuries. The Burrow one hurts many players moving forward in that offence for sure. Also players like Aaron Jones, De’Von Achane, Cooper Kupp, Kenneth Walker, and others, have gone down to injuries and their statuses are up in the air. We then moved into our studs and duds of the week. A couple repeat appearances as well as a few first timers!

Following, we dive into our week 11 preview. We welcome back the Atlanta Falcons, Indianapolis Colts, New England Patriots, and the New Orleans Saints off the bye week, and have no teams on bye because of the Thanksgiving games. We then share our starts of the week and our sits of the week. Last week we crushed these and look to replicate that this week. These are shared on the pod as well as posted on social media! Also shared on socials is Wellsy’s Wagers, which is always a fun way for you at home to win some money!
