Week 12 Preview | Fantasy Football Podcast 11-21-25

There’s never been a better time this season to target Lamar Jackson in fantasy football trades Matt Schauf and Jared Smola of DraftSharks.com open the Week 12 preview show by breaking down why Lamar’s recent struggles create the perfect buy window before he hits the best QB runout in Weeks 12-16. We’re also digging into a factor that might help Saquon Barkley and Quishon Judkins the rest of the way, what you should actually like about the Week 11 disappointments from RJ Harvey and Ricky Pearsall, and what’s WRONG with Puka Nacua. You’ll want all the details -- plus plenty more schedule breakdowns and story lines -- as we hit the final six weeks of the fantasy football season.
