    That's right... Samuels' and Schlanger's fantasy championship hopes have been dashed. But that doesn't mean yours are! We throw all of our regular analysis at you, including a recap of yet another wild Monday Night Football game, though this one for very different reasons than last week's shootout between the Ravens and the Browns. Don't forget WAIVER CLAIMS if you're still fighting for a win! This can be if 3rd place wins a prize or even if you're trying to avoid a last place punishment. But remember, if you have nothing to play for and you're in a redraft league, it's common curtesy to stay off of waiver picks and leave it to those still competing. WIN THOSE CHAMPIONSHIPS! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/samuelsvschlanger/support

We finally nail the basic structure of a Fantasy podcast and although we have to pick and choose the games to recap in a short 37-minute podcast, we try to choose teams that we don't talk about too often.
