Summary
Marcas Grant, Michael F. Florio, and LaQuan Jones return for the final week of the NFL regular season. They start the show by discussing their takeaways from the season, including "why volume isn’t always king" and whether Brock Bowers and Trey McBride should be second round picks next year.
Next they share the players they would target or avoid in daily fantasy (18:25). The guys wrap the show by sharing their hot takes for the 2025 season, such as, whether Caleb Williams and Drake Maye will have big sophomore seasons and if Saquon Barkley will be a good first round pick (37:22).
