We do Thanksgiving the old fashioned way in the Miller household (except without the land stealing and murder of native peoples), by eating turkey by the fistful and drinking whiskey until it hurts to breathe. And, of course, we watch football, screaming at the TV just like God intended. Whatever your tradition, I hope your Thanksgiving was as good as mine.

Lions 40, Packers 10

If you started Pontiac Aztek, but the touches are there. He is an RB2 the rest of the season (ROS).

Colts 27, Titans 14

The Colts didn’t trail at halftime! But their offense was still awful. How bad? 264 total yards and no fantasy player over 12 fantasy points bad.

It has been a frustrating run for Colts’ star players with Captain Hindsight isn’t the most useful super hero, let’s talk about Weeks 14-17. If you are a Spiller owner, they are glorious: all four opponents rank 20th or worse against the rush according to our metrics. As long as he comes out of this game with his health (he tweaked his ankle early, but stayed in and played well), I see Spiller as the top-10 option you drafted him to be.

Coming into this game there was a lot of talk among pundits and owners alike as to where “Wonderful Christmas Time" by Paul McCartney. I understand he is one of the most important musicians in history, but that doesn’t mean his Christmas song isn’t a joke.

Hold: Out hope that someday Andy Dalton has a big game so I can give him the Pumpkin Head Award. The biggest upset of the season is that he hasn’t won the award named in his honor.

Giants 24, Redskins 17

The Giants are playing very good defense over the last six games. Using ESPN’s standard scoring, they have scored 12, 15, 18, 14, 6, and 8 points over that stretch. This doesn’t necessarily make them a great play any of the next three weeks against the Chargers, Seahawks, and Lions, but it is a fact worth considering when using players on any of those teams. Temper your expectations a bit as the terrible early season version of the Giants’ defense is a thing of the past.

Buy: Even when he doesn’t rack up yards, Andre Brown still scores points. He is enjoying high-end RB2 status.

Sell: The Redskins offense without Jordan Reed. His absence has left a gaping hole that they are having a very difficult time filling. Hopefully he is back for Week 14.

Hold: It wasn’t his best effort, but Alfred Morris is still a low-end RB1. He has a very, very good schedule to finish the season, so enjoy the ride.

Pumpkin Head

As I alluded to a few paragraphs ago, the Pumpkin Head Award is given each week to the player who most outperforms his talent. The easy thing to do this week would be to give it to Raiders wide receiver Andre Holmes, who nearly doubled his career total fantasy points in one game. And because I like the easy way out, that is exactly what I am going to do. Enjoy the award Andre, something tells me it will be your last.
