Rams-Seahawks Defensive-Line Matchup Analysis

Thursday’s episode of Scoop City dives into the growing frustration in Philadelphia after A.J. Brown’s “unapologetic” comments about the Eagles’ struggling offense. Can the Ravens take advantage of the inconsistent AFC North, or could another Lamar Jackson injury end Baltimore’s hopes of saving its season? The Seahawks and Rams bring into focus which team is a real contender to win the NFC. Plus, we help set your fantasy lineup for Week 11.

Scoop City hits the road around the league with The Athletic’s insiders. Zach Berman shares what he’s hearing about the Eagles’ offensive identity crisis, A.J. Brown’s mindset, and how DeVonta Smith fits into the conversation as a true No. 1 option. He also breaks down the impact of Jaelan Phillips and the Eagles’ reinvented defensive front as they brace for Detroit.

In Baltimore, Lamar Jackson’s health remains a major storyline. Ravens insider Jeff Zrebiec updates us on Jackson’s knee soreness, how the Browns have given Baltimore trouble in recent matchups, and whether the Ravens’ tight-end-heavy personnel packages can help stabilize the offense. Plus, how Mike Macdonald has unlocked Kyle Hamilton as one of the most unique defensive weapons in football.

Out West, it’s one of the biggest Denver Broncos games in a decade. Broncos defensive end Zach Allen joins the show to discuss his sack streak, Denver’s elite pass-rush depth, and what it takes to disrupt Patrick Mahomes. He also explains why Bo Nix continues to grow into a late-game “it factor” quarterback and makes the case for defensive coordinator Vance Joseph as a future head coach.

We continue our Week 11 tour with The Athletic’s Mike Sando, who breaks down two massive NFC matchups: Rams-Seahawks and Bills-Buccaneers. Who handles pressure better — Matthew Stafford or Sam Darnold? Can the Buffalo Bills evolve offensively after missing on a trade-deadline move? And which teams in the middle of the playoff race face the most urgency entering Week 11?

Finally, Jake Ciely jumps in with fantasy tips and some legendary high-school sports stories. What does Jameis Winston starting for the New York Giants mean for fantasy lineups?
