Stick to the Skrip (guest: Nick Skrip)
It’s the final week of the regular season in most fantasy leagues, and wow, do we have a lot to unpack. After Dr. Deepak Chona (@SportMDAnalysis) starts the show by enumerating the many injuries of Week 13, host Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF) welcomes in Nick Skrip (@P2WFantasy) of P2W Fantasy, FantasyPoints.com and Underdog Fantasy. Nick and Pat assess the fallout from the injuries to Jimmy Garoppolo, Lamar Jackson, Kenneth Walker, and Courtland Sutton, and how players such as Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, Mark Andrews, and Jerry Jeudy will be affected. The return of Deshaun Watson and the rejuvenated fantasy value of James Cook also come up for discussion, and Nick and Pat talk about the 2023 fantasy value of Christian Watson and Garrett Wilson. Nick talks about using a wide variety of media to deliver fantasy content and why he often emphasizes video content. He also discusses his early-bird gym habits and his soccer background, and he and Pat kick around a few World Cup topics. Nick, a Bears fan, and Pat, a Packers fan, also discuss the Bears-Packers rivalry, and Nick offers his take on Bears GM Ryan Pace, the Chase Claypool trade, Luke Getsy’s offense, Justin Fields and Cole Kmet. Nick and Pat size up the Jets’ RB situation, speculate on Geno Smith’s future as an NFL starter, and list candidates to be the No. 1 pick in 2023 fantasy drafts. Nick also runs through a few of his biggest hits and misses of the 2023 season.
