Ep. 22: Aubrey Is My QB1. And Dak Is My Kicker🦵🤠 (A Prelude to Week 14)

The Vibe: It's the final bye-mageddon in the most crucial week of the fantasy season, and Milton is fuming at Roger Goodell. The Cowboys lost, but kicker Brandon Aubrey's 23-point performance is carrying teams. Milton also wishes a belated happy birthday to the ever-wise Vivian.

TNF Recap: The Lions outgunned the Cowboys 44-30 in the dome shootout we predicted. While Dak and the offense came alive late, the loss crushes Dallas's playoff hopes (now just 8%). The cost was high: Lions S Brian Branch is out for the year with an Achilles, and CeeDee Lamb is in concussion protocol.

The News: The injury report is a final hurdle for playoff hopefuls.

Major Losses: Lions S Brian Branch (Achilles) is done. Falcons WR Drake London (knee) is out.
WR Woes: Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. and Bears WR Rome Odunze are not practicing and are out. Parker Washington is limited.
QB Updates: Jayden Daniels is practicing in full. Tee Higgins has cleared protocol. JJ McCarthyis cleared from concussion protocol.
Returns Imminent: Mike Evans has a real chance to return. Omarion Hampton feels great and could play Monday.

The Game Script: Navigating the last bye week with playoff dreams on the line.

GAME OF THE WEEK: Bengals at Bills (-5.5): Huge for both real-life and fantasy reasons. Milton needs a bad Josh Allen game for his playoff hopes.
Colts at Jags (+1.5): A massive AFC South battle with direct playoff implications.
SNF: Texans at Chiefs (-3.5): Both teams are fighting for their playoff lives in a tight wild card race.
Bears at Packers (-6.5): A crucial NFC North clash. The Bears haven't clinched and face a tough remaining schedule.

The Depth Chart: Your key to a playoff-clinching victory.

WR: Christian Watson/Romeo Doubs (GB - primary targets in a great matchup), Chris Olave (NO - vs. TB's vulnerable secondary, if healthy)
RB: Chris Rodriguez (WSH - lead back vs. MIN's soft run D), Kimani Vidal (LAC - boom/bust vs. PHI's 24th-ranked run D)
TE: Dalton Kincaid/Dawson Knox (BUF - vs. CIN's TE-friendly defense), Brenton Strange (JAX - high usage vs. IND's TE-weak defense)
QB: Jordan Love (GB - vs. CHI's generous pass D), Jacoby Brissett (ARI - garbage time king vs. LAR)
DEF/K: Stream the Buccaneers (vs. NO), Browns (vs. TEN), or Commanders (vs. MIN). For kickers, target McManus, Santos, or McPherson.

Lock It In: Our strongest picks to secure your playoff spot are Christian Watson, Jordan Love, and the Buccaneers D/ST.

Tune in for the full, final push to the fantasy playoffs. May the fantasy gods be with you. And just like the Dallas Cowboys' 2025 season, we are DONE!
