About this episode
Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL fantasy football for week 12. The guys also preview TNF Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji break down the Week 12 fantasy football slate on Straight Outta Vegas AM, focusing on playoff pushes, Thursday Night Football props, and the most important flex decisions for managers trying to clinch or survive. They open with playoff updates, lineup struggles, and key injuries before analyzing Bills vs Texans, a matchup featuring Buffalo’s inconsistency, Houston’s tough schedule stretch, and Davis Mills stepping in again for the injured CJ Stroud. Munaf expects a defensive, low-scoring game and backs Houston +6 due to its elite run defense and proven ability to generate pressure; both hosts prefer the under 43.5 as Thursday games trend sluggish. Dalton Schultz is highlighted as Mills’ top safety blanket after 20 targets across two weeks, while James Cook is projected to struggle against a Houston front allowing the third-fewest rushing yards per game. Props discussed include Schultz receiving overs, James Cook rushing unders, and potential live overs on Mills pass yards if Houston trails. The flex section begins with Woody Marks as a top play based on Buffalo’s recent vulnerability to opposing RBs, with both hosts expecting Houston to lean heavily on the run. They warn against chasing Dawson Knox or Tyrell Shavers despite injuries, and they fade Keon Coleman due to inconsistency and disciplinary concerns. Additional flex debates include Alec Pierce vs Christian Watson, where Pierce’s increasing volume under Daniel Jones earns the nod, and Emmanuel Wilson vs Michael Wilson, with Emmanuel projected for expanded usage in the Packers’ ground-heavy approach. Romeo Doubs is preferred over Sean Tucker as Tucker’s Week 11 explosion is labeled an overreaction given the Rams’ elite run defense and the Bucs’ returning RB depth. The tight-end matchup of Kyle Pitts vs Colston Loveland tilts toward Pitts with Atlanta’s depleted receiver room and Cousins under center. Bam Knight and Mac Hollins close the segment as avoid candidates due to brutal matchups and returning teammates. The episode wraps with promo details, bye-week reminders, and encouragement for managers navigating the final push toward the fantasy playoffs. Learn more about your ad choices.
