Quarterbacks: Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson suffered an injury to his ankle against the Browns. If Lamar misses time Ju-Ju & Drew offer some replacements that could fill the QB1 responsibility. Is Patrick Mahomes a must-start against the Chargers in week 15?

Running Backs: James Robinson has experienced a rift in recent weeks with Jacksonville coaches. Can Robinson return to a RB1 or is he best on your bench for the foreseeable future? Austin Ekeler also suffered an ankle injury this past Sunday. Is Justin Jackson or Joshua Kelley the correct Chargers back to start?

Wide Receivers: DK Metcalf continues to derail fantasy owners lineups since Russell Wilson's return. Should Metcalf be started on name recognition alone? Brandon Aiyuk is finally out of the doghouse and Deebo is in the backfield. Who is the correct San Francisco 49ers wide receiver to start at WR1?

The Slumpbuster Ep 124: Mario to Miami, Bryce Young / Dabo Hot Takes, NBA Rankings and NFL Week 14!

Welcome in Slumpbusters! On this episode the Slumpbuster podcast, Ju-Ju & Kyle give you the latest sporting headlines in the world of the NBA, College Football and the NFL.

We kick off the pod by discussing all things college football. In our reaction to the SEC Championship game Kyle made a comment that had Tide fans hot and bothered. We address his comments regarding Alabama quarterback Bryce Young. Mario Cristobal made headlines when he officially agreed to become the next coach for the University of Miami. The Hurricanes have been a shell of their former self under former head coach Manny Diaz, can Cristobal bring them back to national relevance in a weak ACC? Who will be the next coach for Oregon, Chip Kelly? Joe Brady?

This coming Monday on the @slumpbusterpodcast Instagram account Kyle will drop his updated NBA Power Rankings. The Phoenix Suns have been on absolute fire, tied for the league lead in wins with victories over Brooklyn and Golden State. How high will Phoenix climb? Chicago hasn't slowed down yet, will the Bulls be a Top-5 team? With Michael Porter Jr. out indefinitely with a back injury will Denver be able to fend off teams like Dallas, the Clippers and Memphis for a Top-10 spot? We give out weekly Los Angeles Lakers update as we ask how much blame does Anthony Davis deserve? Will LeBron outlast Davis in Los Angeles?

We then give our NFL Week 14 game previews and predictions:

Las Vegas Raiders (+10) @ Kansas City Chiefs

San Francisco 49ers (-1.5) @ Cincinnati Bengals

Dallas Cowboys (-4.5) @ Washington Football Team

Buffalo Bills (+3.5) @ Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Los Angeles Rams (+2.5) @ Arizona Cardinals

We close by addressing the Dabo Swinney to Las Vegas rumors. Will the Raiders give Swinney an offer he can't refuse? How much longer at Clemson will Swinney continue to coach?

The Slumpbuster Ep 125: Jags Fire Meyers, Kyrie's Return, Ewers Transfers to Texas & NFL Week 15!

1 Recommendations

Welcome in Slumpbusters! On this episode the Slumpbuster podcast, Ju-Ju & Kyle give you the latest sporting headlines in the world of the NBA, College Football and the NFL.

The first year of the Steve Sarkisian era in Austin got off to a rocky start but things are looking up. One of the biggest moves in the transfer portal to this point is former top prospect Quinn Ewers leaving Ohio State to return home. Ewers looks to compete with Hudson Card for the Longhorns starting quarterback position. Ju-Ju gives his thoughts on the new Texas quarterback.

Urban Meyers time in Jacksonville was short lived and marred by distractions. The Jaguars decided they could no longer stand by Meyer after former Jags kicker Josh Lambo accused Meyer of kicking him during a pre-season practice. Meyer will leave Jacksonville and presumably the NFL with a 2-11 lifetime coaching record. Jacksonville offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell will take over interim coaching duties to conclude the season.

Kyrie Irving has not stepped on a basketball court the entirety of the 2021-2022 NBA season. This was due to a public health law from the State of New York that would prevent the unvaccinated Irving from playing home games for the Brooklyn Nets. Initially the Nets took the stance that Irving would either be a full-time player or would not play for the Nets this season. After deliberation it would appear Brooklyn has caved and Irving will make his season debut as soon as next week. What does this say about Irving, the Nets and the title possibilities of several teams looking ahead?

We conclude giving our week 15 NFL Predictions and Previews for the following games:

New York Jets +9.5 @ Miami Dolphins

Washington Football Team +6.0 @ Philadelphia Eagles

New England Patriots +2.5 @ Indianapolis Colts

Tennessee Titans +1.5 @ Pittsburgh Steelers

Green Bay Packers -7.0 @ Baltimore Ravens
