Summary

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat), Denny Carter and Kyle Dvorchak (@kyletweetshere) break down this week’s Jonnu Smith and Darren Waller transactions before continuing their “burning questions” series with the league’s southern divisions. What impact will Michael Penix make in Atlanta, and can he support more than one pass catcher? What does a C.J. Stroud bounce-back campaign look like? They also discuss Bucky Irving’s ceiling, Alvin Kamara’s “keep on truckin’” likelihood and much more. That includes conversations on Chuba Hubbard, Josh Downs, the Jaguars’ backfield, and Cam Ward.
