About this episode
Lamar Jackson has us stumped from the jump, and Matt Schauf and Jared Smola of DraftSharks.com are here to sort out every major Week 14 start-sit decision with the fantasy playoffs closing in. They dive into the struggling Chargers offense, question whether RJ Harvey is fooling us, highlight why Bucky Irving looks legit, and break down Devin Neal’s rising usage, the messy Panthers split, and Rhamondre Stevenson’s potentially problematic workload. They also tackle the Steelers’ headache of a backfield, the big calls on Justin Jefferson and Adonai Mitchell, and what Puka Nacua’s usage really looks like heading into the most important week of your season.
