* 0.286 EPA/play (1st)

Unless you have:
* Colston Loveland
* Cole Kmet
* A Rams TE
...it is nearly impossible to risk starting Jake Tonges in Week 17 as long as Kittle remains remotely in play.

Cam Ward's 24.8 percent P2S is the third-highest
Jaxson Dart's 22.7 percent P2S is the sixth-highest
Josh Allen's 18.9 percent P2S is the 10th-highest

Since Week 12, Brady Cook's 53.1% pressure to sack rate is the highest of any QB (min. 100 dropbacks).
The next closest is Geno Smith at 34.4%.
Cook's six INTs over that span are second-most only to Shedeur Sanders, but Cook has only played in three games.
Patriots DST is a must-start this week.

Bad NFL teams are like the partner in a relationship who thinks they can fix the broken person. And they’ll do it time and time again until “the one” falls into their lap.
No team can make Kyler Murray not love video games. Sorry.

Only a bad organization would sign Kyler Murray (and probably pay him as a top ten QB). So the Jets and Raiders are in play.
Murray is made for Vegas, that’s my gut. The Jets feel almost too cliche.

My co-manager and I started Jared Goff in every game this season but when the Lions were on a bye. This week in the championship round we decided to sit him for Tyler Shough.
There’s still time left for us to maybe regret that but we’re feeling good right now.

Adding to that -- wide receiver feels brutal this week. Can we confidently say any of these teams will produce a top-24 PPR WR in Week 17?
Vikings
Browns
Chiefs
Raiders
Jets
Packers
Dolphins
Titans
Eagles
Lions
Steelers
Patriots
Vikings
Browns

Raiders
Jets

Imagine if this were a normal fantasy week and we had to figure out who we might want to start this week out of:
Josh Johnson
Max Brosmer
Quinn Ewers
Chris Oladokun
Brady Cook
Shedeur Sanders
Malik Willis

Is there any truth to some of these redacted Epstein files being readable for a simple copy and paste? If so, I can't help but wonder if those asked to assist in the cover-up decided those wanting it would never notice, and people online would figure it out over time.

The resistance to domes is always a funny one to me. It’s like the guys who didn’t wanna see DH across all MLB. My buddy said he doesn’t like it because it’s fun seeing pitchers hit.
Curiously, he couldn’t tell me what was fun about having a guaranteed .098 hitter in your lineup everyday.

Not to doom too much on a Tuesday afternoon but there will be a point where outdoor sports are unsafe in most of the country due to climate collapse. Domes will be necessary in a lot of regions.
Also new stadiums in development that will be enclused besides the Chiefs are the Jags, Titans, Bills, Browns, Commanders. Over half the league will be enclosed soon.

Minshew's ACL is intact, which is good news since there will be multiple teams he could start for in 2026.
He's probably better than every rookie coming in. He's probably better than any QB on the:
Jets
Falcons (sans Cousins)
Raiders
Steelers (sans Rodgers)
Colts (Jones injury)
Browns
Vikings
