Hey everyone! As I announced back in November, my "Studs & Duds" series is making its move towards exclusive content here in 2026. This was a long developing decision and I'm super thankful the supportive feedback in making this change, good and bad.

I understand the frustrations that come with once free content moving behind a paywall, but the performance of these videos did not justify the amount of time it takes me to produce them, and this is the best way for me to justify keeping the series going.

You will now find the series on my Patreon and right here via YouTube Memberships ($5 Per Month)!

On Patreon, it is available in the bottom tier of $2.50 per month, or you may purchase any individual Division's video for $5.

Here is a link to my Patreon: www.patreon.com/c/thatfranchiseguy

I really hope you consider following this series over to these platforms, the videos are produced exactly as I made the Mid-season series, only it will be Ad-Free. I have just dropped our first Division, the NFC East!

Just a heads up for those who are going to check out the Week 15 Preview Show with ‪@FootballAnalysis1‬ and I... Big error and we totally forgot to talk about the Bills / Patriots game 🤦.

I'll write up some analysis below but just don't want you to watch it waiting for that game!

- Bills are favorites in NE... Idk if I agree with that but it's another huge test for NE after a Mickey Mouse run of games!

- How healthy and active Bosa is will be a major decider. He's been much less of a factor since dealing with wrist/hamstring Injuries but they do move him around and he's got a big opportunity to impact the game against a backup LT for NE

- Can Treyveyon Henderson keep it up against a shoddy Bills run D?

- Allen was super human last week... Can he keep it up as we approach the post season or does the Bills offense come back to earth with a lot of those plays last week being high variance plays against a horrible defense. Extra week to prepare for Vrabel and Co. As well

Overall one hell of a matchup that is tough to pick! I think I like New England though to keep things going at home and force BUF to show some of those issues we've seen from them against good opponents.

Happy Thanksgiving Week, Everyone!

Just a heads up, Power Rankings are going to look a little different this week!

I'm striving to recreate the success of this video podcast from last year, where the rankings were more of a "Where I was right, Where I was wrong" dive into the state of each team.

(Last Years Video:
https://youtu.be/-Q3N0IdZw5Q)

This was actually my most successful video of the entire season last year and you all seemed to LOVE it so I'm trying to recreate it! If all goes well, this can become a yearly Thanksgiving Week tradition on the channel.

This one will take longer to produce so my goal is Tomorrow afternoon for its release!

We'll be right back on track for the normal Power Rankings shows next week!

Hey Everyone!

Just wanted to give a heads up that Power Rankings will be a bit delayed today because of how obnoxiously late the 2nd MNF game went last night! It got too late for me to stay up and work on them overnight as I typically would.

Expect them around 2-3 ET!

Hey everyone! Most of you probably don't know I have a separate channel for my Podcast, "The Fully Inflated Football Show", for certain episodes that don't get posted here on the main channel.

Last night I recorded my reaction to an unbelievably fun...and significant Thursday Night battle between the Steelers and Bengals, as well as answered your NFL Mailbag questions.

Just wanted to share it here so that you don't miss it!

And I'll see everyone here in a couple hours for the Week 7 Preview Show.

Here's a comprehensive update for the channel in regards to upcoming content, scheduling this season, as well as the Madden roster! Sorry for the text wall, but I've got a lot of moving pieces right now!



1) I just finished my Week 1 Power Rankings recording! It's a bit longer (over an hour long) and will be up this evening.



1b) As I mentioned, I've been battling a bug and/or sleep deprivation since I pushed myself quite a lot to finish the Deep Dive series last week. Because of this, I'm going to allow this longer Power Rankings episode to double as my weekly recap podcast just for this week. I know this is disappointing to some but I seriously need to make this tough decision for my own health. I'm not in a great spot right now.



2) On the flipside... I do have an exciting announcement for some new, weekly scheduled content! I'll be doing a LIVE weekly preview show with ‪@FootballAnalysis1‬ every Friday afternoon at 3PM ET starting this week!



3) Have gotten lots of people reach out asking about the Madden roster. It's closer to being finished than you might think! I'm hoping, with taking the Podcast off tomorrow, I will have it available as early as Tomorrow night! Maybe even sooner. I have all of the offense as well as D-Line already finished. And yes, it is available for Xbox, PS, and PC thanks to Cross-Play file share. Be sure to follow @TFGPlays on Twitter for updates there and where to find it.



4) So starting next week you can anticipate this being the Weekly Schedule:



- TUES AM: Weekly Power Rankings



- WED Afternoon: Episode of Fully Inflated Podcast (Usually a Weekly Recap Episode, but some weeks will be more of a Topical Discussion)



- THUR Afternoon: Weekly Vegas Picks, EXCLUSIVE on Patreon



- Friday 3PM ET: Weekly Preview Show with @FBallAnalysisYT



Additional content mixed in where I can will include:
- Positional Tier Maker Videos
- Film Room, Narrative Style Content
- Early Draft Content
- Live Streams during some Primetime Games



And then lastly, to my gamer friends! I will be streaming EVERY "TFGO" League game on my Twitch. (Twitch. tv/thatfranchiseguy). I'd love to do a rebuild on ‪@TFGPlays‬ but as you can see I've got a lot going on right now and can't commit to that.

For those playing along at Underdog this week, I wanted to share my favorite player selections for the week! Pick any combination with Underdog "Pick'em" competitions for large payouts, or flex these numbers down for safer projections but less of a payout!

1) Tyreek Hill HIGHER ⬆️68.5 Receiving Yards

Hill has been heating up lately for Miami weeing 23 Targets for 198 Yards over the last two weeks, both times going over this weeks number of 68.5 Yards. I think teams are starting to creep up a little bit more to respect this Dolphins Screen/RPO heavy attack and we're starting to see some of those intermediate throws open back up for Tua to hit. The Texans have also given opponents a lot of opportunities for big plays from their secondary, and as we know, Tyreek can get 70 Yards on a single catch if the Texans aren't careful.

2) Jayden Daniels HIGHER ⬆️255 Pass + Rush Yards

I see Jayden's return to New Orleans against Spencer Rattler, Jake Haener or whoever is starting for New Orleans this week. With Ekeler out & New Orleans having some more plodding Edge players out there, I could see a few nice QB keepers in the run game so I like getting the rushing yards in there.

3) Derrick Henry HIGHER ⬆️101.5 Rushing Yards.
The Ravens play the Giants, without Dexter Lawrence, coming off the bye week.

4) Calvin Ridley HIGHER⬆️ 3.5 Receptions
I've been flexing this down to 3.5 for 4 or 5 weeks now and they still haven't changed his projected total. He's safely getting 7+ targets a week and I like Ridley this week going against the Bengals defense.

5) Bijan Robinson HIGHER⬆️80.5 Rushing Yards
If they put in his Rush + Rec as an option by Monday night, I like that even more. But I think Atlanta leans into Bijan who has been feasting the last couple of weeks to get by against the lousy Raiders this week on MNF.
