The fantasy playoffs wait for no one — and in Episode 74, the margins were brutal.

We open with a full breakdown of Justin’s playoff collapse, a perfect storm of underperformers headlined by Isaiah Likely and capped off by running headfirst into Trevor Lawrence’s nuclear performance. On the other side of the bracket, John looks ahead to a tough matchup against friend-of-the-show Dave, who’s rolling out James Cook and Amon-Ra St. Brown.

The week itself was chaos. Grandpa Philip Rivers nearly completed a storybook comeback against Seattle before the Seahawks ripped it away at the buzzer. We saw historic performances from Kyle Pitts and Trevor Lawrence, pregame lineup drama with Rome Odunze ruled out minutes before kickoff, and yet another brutal injury slate that included three torn ACLs.

From there, we roll into This Just In with Justin, covering a shocking list of injuries and news — including Patrick Mahomes suffering a torn ACL, Jayden Daniels being shut down for the season, and key skill players dropping left and right as fantasy managers scramble for answers.

We wrap things up with Catch Some Waives, spotlighting late-season league winners and desperation plays at every position — from CJ Stroud and JJ McCarthy at QB, to emerging RBs like Jawhar Jordan and Jacory Croskey-Merritt, plus sneaky WR and TE targets that could decide championship week.

If your season ended in heartbreak — or you’re still fighting for a title — this one’s for you.
