About this episode
Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL fantasy football for week 14. In this episode Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji break down Week 14 fantasy football and the key Thursday night matchup between the Cowboys and Lions, a game carrying major playoff implications for both teams. Rod is fighting for a playoff spot in his home league while Munaf notes his own leagues are mostly set, but both agree this week is critical for many fantasy managers. They recap Thanksgiving and Black Friday games, where favorites fell, overs hit, and several fantasy stars delivered. They then dig into Lions–Cowboys: Dallas is surging behind an MVP-caliber Dak Prescott while Detroit has cooled, losing two of three and struggling with injuries, especially to Amon-Ra St. Brown and Sam LaPorta. The Cowboys’ pass rush, Detroit’s shaky secondary, and both teams’ explosive offenses suggest a high-scoring game. They debate the spread (Detroit –3) and both lean Dallas +3 while agreeing the over 54.5 makes sense with both teams averaging nearly 30 points per game. Fantasy implications center on whether St. Brown plays; if he sits, Jameson Williams and deep sleeper Isaac TeSla become viable options, especially with Khalif Raymond and Brock Wright out. They highlight Detroit’s reliance on Gibbs and Montgomery in both run and pass game, plus Dallas exploiting Detroit’s defensive injuries. They discuss flex decisions: RJ Harvey vs Amani Bailey (lean Harvey), Kal Monangai vs Brian Thomas Jr. (lean Monangai), Jayden Higgins vs Brenton Strange (lean Higgins), Jayden Higgins vs Devin Neal (again Higgins, given Saints’ struggles and Texans’ need for WR2 production), Tyler Allgeier vs Blake Corum (lean Allgeier due to red-zone usage), and Rashee Rice vs Bucky Irving (essentially a toss-up, but volume favors Rice while matchup favors Irving). They close by reminding listeners about Pregame’s MVP15 promo code and encouraging managers to attack waivers, prepare for playoffs, and set lineups carefully as bye weeks end and injuries mount. Both hosts are excited for Week 14, hoping to push themselves—and their listeners—into the postseason with the right flex calls and matchup plays. Learn more about your ad choices.
