11/25/25 - Sideline Banter: Trust Issues Everywhere -- Week 13 Fantasy Football Breakdown | Women Of Fantasy Football

·1 hr 10 min·1 clip

Outside of Christian McCaffrey, it's really hard to trust anyone in the San Francisco offense right now.

Sideline Banter opens Week 13 in a festive mood. Sam Holt and Derek Tate trade holiday chatter, live-show nerves, and a few fantasy-season reality checks before getting fully into the football. Derek jokes about not knowing what to do with his hands on camera, and the show keeps that loose, conversational energy from the start. The conversation moves quickly, but it keeps circling back to useful lineup advice. The first big topic is Kareem Hunt. They point out that he has scored a touchdown in four straight games, handled a season-high 30 carries in Week 12, and seen his snaps climb over 70 percent in three straight games. That usage gives him real flex appeal. The hosts talk about him like a running back three or four who can be started with some confidence because the Chiefs keep feeding him near the goal line. They also keep the caution light on. Isaiah Pacheco still matters, especially in the passing game, and that split makes the backfield harder to project than a clean one-player answer. Dallas comes into the discussion too. The Cowboys' ranking against running backs helps Hunt's case, but it does not make him an automatic play. The show keeps coming back to the same fantasy principle: volume, snaps, and goal-line chances matter more than wishful thinking. That is the frame they use throughout the debate. The pacing stays brisk. Questions interrupt the flow, the hosts correct themselves mid-thought, and the advice feels like it is being worked out aloud instead of read from a script. The tone stays warm and practical even when the situation is messy. The episode closes on Thanksgiving. Derek tells an annual family story about doing the full Braveheart speech in a Scottish accent, which gives the whole segment a silly, affectionate finish. The show signs off by wishing listeners wins, luck, and full bellies heading into Week 14.
