One MANS Opinion: Episode 327 – Turning The Page

Jeff Mans is back and is turning the page to a much happier time: fantasy football stretch run and the holiday season! This week, Jeff starts out with some updates concerning the radio show on SiriusXM, the NFL trading frenzy, and his upcoming trip to see his buddy Ray Flowers tie the knot. He tackles the Ashton Jeanty demotion straight on and gives some important context to what the Raiders backfield will look like the rest of this season. As usual, Mans reveals his top 10 waiver wire pickup ahead of week nine and even throws out a few deep league bonus watches into the mix. Transparency is everything on this show, and thus Jeff does another quarterly check-in on how his fantasy teams, DFS bankroll, and betting records are doing through the first eight weeks of the 2026 season. He also talks running backs this week by revealing his brand new RAT ratio metric that measures an RB's rush attempts against his targets to reveal which backs are generating the most points on the ground and through the air. This leads to a deeper discussion about fantasy points earned by running backs exclusively in the receiving department this season. The comparison will either make perfect sense or blow your darn mind. It’s an injury-plagued situation on Thursday Night Football this week, but Mans gives out his best bet for the Jaguars/Ravens game anyway because winning is never inactive.
