Having uncontrolled eosinophilic esophagitis or EOE can mean you're stuck in many ways, like cutting your food into tiny pieces.

Or stuck chewing food for a long time. Dupixant dupellumab, a prescription medicine for patients one year and older weighing at least 33 pounds can help with that. It's a breakthrough treatment that can reduce inflammation in the esophagus and improve swallowing. How about this? Dupixant is not a steroid. It proactively treats EOE so you can get ahead of it.

Severe allergic reactions, including skin reactions, can occur. Get help right away if you have trouble breathing or wheezing or swelling of your face, mouth, tongue or throat. Tell your doctor of new or worsening joint aches and pain or a parasitic infection or asthma. Don't change or stop other treatments without talking to your doctor.

Hey, what's up? It's John Hansen back with another edition of the Friday edition of the Fantasy Points Podcast. And I'm flying solo once again. No problem whatsoever. I've gone through every matchup. I've got a couple of matchups mostly to exploit, sometimes to avoid, but a couple of matchups focus for all of the games on the docket. We've got 15 of them to get through. Thanks for liking, subscribing and all that good stuff. And as usual, you are welcome.

Hey, what's going on? John Hansen here. Another edition of the Fantasy Points Podcast, and yet another Friday edition where I'm flying solo. Our guy, Brian Drake, had a little, some sort of commitment come up this evening. We're recording this Thursday night. He does have two young kids. And for me, luckily, thankfully, those days are over for yours truly.

I don't even know how I did it, by the way, for 20 plus years, raising young kids involved in sports and activities, running a business, then neither here nor there. You got me solo to preview week number three. I'm gonna change things up just a little bit compared to what we did the first two weeks, where for every matchup, we offered one matchup to exploit and one to avoid. Sometimes when you do that, you pigeonhole yourself into, well, now I gotta find an avoid guy. And sometimes you gotta reach. So I'm gonna like let it flow a little bit. Sometimes I'll have two matchups to exploit. Try and focus on some lower end guys to truly help people out. You're not gonna, I'm not gonna help you out too much.

Telling you to start some really established stars, things like that. So let's get into it. By the way, week two sucked, really bad week. I think we all got tricked a little bit by week one with the offenses showing up. I'm like, here we go, we're good. No, we're not. So that said, we'll be a little bit more cautious in week number three, but all we can do is try and handicap these matchups as best we can using a lot of the Fantasy Points data and let the chips fall because we cannot predict the future and all that good stuff. Well, let's start with the LA Chargers at the Buffalo Bills. And obviously LA is in trouble. I'm not going positive on anyone for the Chargers, although Lad McConkey did practice fully on Thursday. It's not the greatest schematic matchup for him, but we will give love to Dalton Kincaid. I kind of missed this one, I got to admit, because I just wasn't sure if he was healthy and if the snaps would go up. I mean, how many years in a row do you need to see something from a player before you think, okay, this is what he is. I think I was kind of there. So, unfortunately, I was not pounding the table for Dalton Kincaid.
