Don’t have the stones to play him over Hunt as my RB2 on my first-place season-long team this week.

Will be rolling him out in a DFS lineup today, though.
Happy Thanksgiving to Keaton Mitchell truthers everywhere.

The “kids” are all way too old but suspension of disbelief is a thing for a reason. So use it because the episodes are absolute bangers. The Duffer Brothers have come out swinging and the first four episodes do not miss.

The fourth one is a series classic.

A+.
First 4 eps of Stranger Things s5 are up now. The “kids” all look way too old, and the formula is clear by now, but these eps feel less bloated and more engaging than s4. My spoiler free review:
Review: 'Stranger Things' stays close to home for final season
Yes, the "kids" all look too old, but the Netflix hit still has its moments

Holy shit, the first four episodes of Stranger Things Season 5 are insanely great.

Beat writers saying Benson does not look good at practice. It’s only Wednesday but not a good start to the week.

The #Lions deploy man coverage at the second-highest rate in the league (thanks @allinkid.bsky.social for that note). With Reed out, Christian Watson is set up to feast. Watson excels against man coverage.

BTW, if you like props, his current reception prop is 3.5. That’s looking mighty tasty.
Transactions for Thursday are done, so this means that WR Jayden Reed will not return from injured reserve this week.
#Packers sign WR Will Sheppard from the practice squad to the 53-man roster and cut K Lucas Havrisik. Also elevated LB Jamon Johnson and CB Jaylin Simpson from practice squad. Might mean no Matthew Golden and Savion Williams. Simpson could be active if Keisean Nixon can't play.

I was planning on Flexing Juwan Johnson this week with Jake Ferguson at TE. But now with Marv Harrison practicing and facing an A+ matchup against the #Buccaneers I’m likely gonna have to hold off on that and go with a new plan.

Johnson TE
Marv (tentatively Flex)
Ferguson (reluctantly) to the Bench

When defenses don’t fear a running game that features Ashton Jeanty you have a serious problem.
The Raiders were so non-threatening in the run game that, despite playing a third of their snaps in 12 personnel, they saw the lowest rate of base defense in the league at 15.4%.

Defenses only matched with base on a quarter of the Raiders' snaps in 12 (league average: 58.8%)

Justin Jefferson wasn’t being benched in all but the most extreme circumstances even with McCarthy.

It’s literally impossible for Jordan Addison to be worse with Max Brosmer at QB than he was with McCarthy last week but he’ll still be a high-risk WR3/4 since we have no clue what Brosmer can do.

Torn between taking Gibbs Anytime TD or his O/U rushing yards prop. Both look like smashes.

Debating between Corum and Jaleel McLaughlin in FAAB for a bench spot on my top league. Can only add one. Currently leaning McLaughlin but close.

Way too late to save the team I have him on but nice to see it finally happen.
Omarion Hampton (foot) has 21-day practice window opened.

Staring HARD at Kareem Hunt’s 33.5 O/U rushing yards prop bet on Thanksgiving.
November 25, 2025 at 7:43 PM
The #Saints are boarder line terrible and they have next to nothing in the passing game so Shough is targeting Johnson consistently regardless of the matchup.

It’s …

Olave
Johnson
Kamara/Neal

That’s pretty much it.
Juwan Johnson is my favorite name in 2025 fantasy football leagues for the tight end position. He's often free in a lot of leagues!!!
Week 13 Waiver Wire TEs!

Brenton Strange
Juwan Johnson
Colston Loveland
Darren Waller
A.J. Barner
Taysom Hill
Theo Johnson

Strange and Johnson can be started this week. Taysom a Wk 13 sleeper. Waller has a great playoff schedule and Loveland breaking out

BIG test on Thanksgiving because Dan Campbell in #RevengeGames goes for the f’n jugular.

The #Packers humiliated the #Lions in Week 1. Mortal lock Campbell will be pushing the Revenge narrative HARD this week, plus the game has massive division & playoff implications.
When the Packers' defense is at their best, they throw so much at you in obv. pass situations. 3rd and 9, Micah is lined up off the ball--that's the first alarm bell ringing. GB in single high, so McCarthy thinks he has access to this out by 18. Spin into inverted T2, JJ forced to check it down
