Jägermeister knows that there's people who watch the game and people who know the game. Knowers know rivalries aren't heated. They're ice cold.

They know rankings change, traditions don't. And they know that when you drink Jägermeister on game day, you drink it ice cold. Otherwise, you just don't know the game.

So drink it ice cold or don't drink it at all. Jägermeister, damn that's cold. Drink responsibly. Jägermeister liqueur 35% alcohol by volume. Reported by Mass Jägermeister US. White Plains, New York.

Hey, what's up? John Hansen here. Brian Drake and I are back for another edition of the Fantasy Points Podcast. Week 6 was another wild, wacky week. Wasn't the greatest week for being predictive. But we did get some young players at Receiver really emerging here in week number 6 Two of them we were on before the games were played. The one we weren't was Omar Cooper for the Jets. But how about Jeremy Bernard and the effort from Jalen Nowell in week number 6? We'll cover those players and more on the latest pod. Thanks for subscribing as always. And you are welcome.

Brian Drake (2:16)

All across the Fantasy Universe, what's up everybody? Welcome to the week 6 Instant Reaction Podcast. It is the Fantasy Points Podcast. Brian Drake, alongside the guru, John Hansen, and John, another wacky, wild week in fantasy football, where, I mean, who could see? Skid Marks becomes the first player to rush for over 40 yards on the Jaguars, and then bam, Knight is back in our lives, and it was just hit after hit after hit of craziness, but that's why we love this game. How are you doing, my friend?

John Hansen (2:47)

Yeah, it was a very, I'm doing well. It was not the greatest week in terms of being predictive. We were just talking off the air. I mean, we have a pretty tough job nowadays. It is week to week league, guys drift in and out of relevancy, player performances up and down for the most part. A lot of it depends on matchups.

I thought it was not the best week, but we'll see. We'll go through it all. I'm still pissed off about a couple of props though. I didn't have a very good prop week, quite frankly. Lost a couple of hard breakers. But yeah, what are we going to do? All we can do is try and predict every darn game, every darn week. Some weeks are going to be better than others.

Brian Drake (3:34)

That's what we do here on the Instant Reaction Monday show. We go game by game and give you the fantasy news notes and nugs to make you a smarter player in your leagues. Let's start with the London game, the final London game of the year. And it was a good one. Houston, with a 34-21 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, who, let's be honest, are kind of a scam. I mean, they were, you know, like the hottest team in football a few weeks ago, and the Texans were dead at 0-4.

Now the Texans have 1-2 straight, and they look like they're going to rip back through their division. Let's start with those Texans. Skid Marks, our favorite little running back here, gets the start, 15 carries for 56 yards on the ground. You had them on the Stank Squad on Sirius XM. I mean, listen, we couldn't have expected too much against this vaunted Jags D, but... No. I mean, we were hoping he would fall into the end zone, and he almost had a receiving touchdown in this game, but I think better days are ahead for Woody Marks.
