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.
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!!

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.
Deep Dives
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 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:
Consistent weekly format: Each day, you’ll know what to expect. Tuesday Morning Waivers / Wednesday recaps & outlooks / Thursday previews & deep dives / Friday = buys/sells / Saturday = Player Profiles / Sunday = rankings.
Weekly subscriber challenges: Starting from Week 1, weekly competitions where all subscribers compete for prizes.
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.

Now go get those titles.

I just wanted to thank you for helping me win my first year in fantasy football.
I found your emails and twitter account very helpful... it helped me kick the asses of the ER doctors I work with 😁
1st place all season and destroyed my opponent in the final.. by 54pts.
**I work with your mom at the Hamilton General 👍
Big thanks to you guys! Won my league and it was largely attributed to tips & info from this newsletter.
