🏈 We've Moved Platforms

You can find us at morninghuddle.com. Pretty legit, eh?

PSA: We’ve moved to a new platform: you can check us out by clicking here.

Good morning. Those in the finals, good luck. Check the injury reports, make a bold decision, and start your studs.

For everyone else, we’ll win it next year.

Additionally, 2021 is out and being replaced with 2022, per @wojespn and me.

ESPN Sources: Happy New Year.

Thank you all for your support this season - the Morning Huddle is run by me (Jake) with the help of my good friend Eddie (Cowboys fan). It’s been a rewarding experience and we’re grateful for everyone reading, sharing, and interacting with the Morning Huddle.

• And thanks for not sharing this with your league members, it means we’re doing a good job. F*** your league mates!!

Asked today if he has a New Year’s resolution, Chiefs’ HC Andy Reid answered, “I was going to say eat less, but then I’d feel like Pinocchio.”

This issue features:

• Injuries

• Deep Dives

• Highlights of the Season

• What’s next for the Morning Huddle

The Hospital Report

Antonio Gibson and JD McKissic are OUT, meaning Jaret Patterson will start vs Eagles. But be warned, Eagles were very stingy vs run last month.

• Jerry Jeudy and Tim Patrick are out - great news for Noah Fant, whose three best finishes have all come with Jeudy out.

Carson Wentz will play, Kenny Golladay is the only healthy WR on Giants’ active roster - Julio Jones and Clyde Edwards-Helaire are both OUT.

• Elijah Mitchell (knee), Marquise Brown (illness) and Lamar Jackson (ankle) are questionable for Week 17. James Conner is also question.

Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter

Players out Sunday include Kirk Cousins, Miles Sanders, Antonio Gibson, William Jackson, Shaq Barrett, James O’Shaughnessy, Nelson Agholor, John Ross, Kadarius Toney, Stephon Gilmore, Tre’Quan Smith, Teddy Bridgewater, Jerry Jeudy and Bradley Chubb.

Deep Dives

USA Today

Ke’Shawn Vaughn: Ronald Jones fumbles once and it’s Vaughn’s backfield. Expect 10 to 20 touches for Vaughn and 10-20 for RoJo, but HC Bruce Arians indicated (to Michael Salfino) that only Vaughn has a future on the team, however.

Deonte Harris: In his last game, Harris caught 4 for 96 yards on 8 target - he should see even more looks this week, given how decimated the Saints WR corps is.

Gerald Everett: Coming off his second-best performance of the season, Everett led Seattle in receiving and continues to be a consistent underneath option for Russell Wilson.

Devin Singletary: The Bills RB has 78 total yards or more in three consecutive weeks, with 10 or more carries in 4/5 games. The Falcons have allowed the 6th most points to RBs this season, and the Bills should crush them.

Breshad Perriman: Revenge game against NYJ? Perriman’s last game was when he caught the game-winner vs. Buffalo.

Quick Slants

• The top rookie WRs ranked since 2006 (hint: Ja’Marr Chase is 4th, Kyle Pitts isn’t far behind). Pitts needs 128 yards to break rookie TE record (beating Mike Ditka), while Jaylen Waddle needs 6 catches to break the rookie record.

• Moving graph of dynasty WR values throughout the year, watch two former LSU studs fly. Mike Evans needs 101 yards to reach 1,000 for the eighth straight season (every season of his career).

• DeMarcus Ware, Andre Johnson, Reggie Wayne and Devin Hester are among the 15 Pro Football Hall of Fame finalists

• Please consider supporting 11-year-old Parker Dickerson, who lost both his parents to cancer in recent years, including his father Jeff, who died of complications from colon cancer at age 44. Love to see the football community rally behind Parker (over $1 million raised).

Morning Huddle Highlights:

These made me laugh:

Horrible Calls: Trade for Darren Waller (Week 11), Trey Lance (all season), Miles Sanders (Week 6). Anything Christian McCaffrey. Antonio Brown not paying his personal chef:

This vaccination card cost AB $183K in salary.

THIS WAS REALLY COOL:

2022 - What’s next?

We conducted multiple surveys throughout the year and read every single one of your responses - thank you! Here are just a few of the items we are planning to implement for next season:

• Rankings: Team up with some experts & provide custom Morning Huddle rankings to help with trades and start/sits.

• Humor/Humour: We’ll try even harder to make you laugh.

• More links: End of each article will be filled with links for additional content that is more player-specific.

• New platform: We’ll be switching to a new platform that allows us more customization, a referral program, and much more. Best part: optimized for email and phones.

If you have any other suggestions to improve the newsletter, please comment below. Thanks for an amazing year, we’ll see you next season.

Miss you already.

Now go get those titles.
