Don't miss
Andy Holloway finally records a hole-in-one after 2,399 attempts, turning a marathon golf challenge into the episode’s defining moment.
The brief
The Bills-Rams Monday night game supplies an unusually messy starting point: Puka Nacua drew 24 targets, while Josh Allen’s low pass volume and James Cook’s two fumbles complicated the fantasy read.
Andy Holloway’s hole-in-one after 2,399 attempts provides the episode’s comic centerpiece, while injury updates involving Travion Henderson, David Montgomery, DeVonta Smith, Deebo Samuel, A.J. Brown, and Tyler Shough reshape roster decisions.
The Week 6 waiver board favors contingency planning, with running-back stashes, wide receivers such as Jeremy Bernard and Kendrick Bourne, and tight ends including Pat Freiermuth evaluated for opportunity and volume.
The hosts frame Bijan Robinson for Kenneth Walker as a schedule-and-risk decision rather than a simple talent swap, then add defensive and quarterback streamers tied to upcoming matchups.
The broader takeaway is that Week 6 managers need flexible bets: uncertain backfields, injury-created targets, and matchup-based starts may matter more than name value.
