he Vibe: The fantasy playoff push is here! With only four weeks left in the regular season, Milton's teams are all still in the hunt. His excitement for football is back, fueled by Vivian's insights and a little help from The Darkness.

TNF Recap: The Patriots beat the Jets 27-14, becoming the first team to 9 wins. TreVeyon Henderson exploded for 3 TDs in Rhamondre Stevenson's absence, while Justin Fields continued to struggle, putting his job in jeopardy.

The News: A serious note on mental health headlines a busy week.

• Mental Health Focus: All-Pro CB Jaire Alexander is stepping away from football to focus on his physical and mental health, potentially contemplating retirement.

• QB Carousel: C.J. Stroud is out, so Davis Mills starts again. Jaxson Dart is in the protocol, so Jameis Winston gets the nod for the Giants.

• RB Roulette: Isiah Pacheco and Sam LaPorta are out. JK Dobbins is not practicing, paving the way for more RJ Harvey.

• Positive Signs: Calvin Ridley, Brian Thomas Jr., and Brock Purdy are all on track to return.

The Game Script: Key matchups for your playoff life.

• Commanders vs. Dolphins (Madrid): Can the hot Dolphins handle business abroad against a fading Washington team?

• Bears at Vikings (-3): Chicago goes for its 7th straight win. Can Justin Jefferson finally find "savage mode" against them?

• Chiefs at Broncos (+3.5): A massive AFC West showdown in Denver.

• SNF: Lions at Eagles (-2.5): "One team has identity and the other doesn’t." A must-watch game.

• MNF: Cowboys at Raiders (+3.5): A potential trap game for Dallas, with Brock Bowerslooming as a Raider weapon.

The Depth Chart: Your key to surviving the witching hour.

• WR: Jaylen Waddle (MIA - elite vs. man coverage), George Pickens (PIT - in a projected shootout)

• RB: Jaylen Warren (PIT - vs. CIN's best RB matchup), Woody Marks (HOU - vs. TEN's generous run D)

• TE: Pat Freiermuth (PIT - most efficient Steelers TE), Colby Parkinson (LAR - dart throw in 3-TE sets vs. SEA)

• QB/DEF/K: Aaron Rodgers (GB - great revenge matchup vs. CIN), JJ McCarthy (MIN - vs. CHI's soft pass D). Stream the Texans (@TEN) or Chargers (@JAX) D/ST.

Lock It In: Our strongest picks for a critical week are Jaylen Waddle, Jaylen Warren, and the Texans D/ST.

Tune in for the full breakdown to secure your playoff spot. And just like Jaire Alexander's unexpected exit, we are DONE!
