This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human. Hello, everybody. Welcome into the Fantasy Pros Football Podcast. I'm Ryan Wormley. Joined today by Andrew Erickson and by Jake Sealy from The Athletic. And we are talking takeaways from the 2025 season. If you missed it last week, we did the AFC version of this. We had four shorter episodes. One for each division. We are doing the NFC divisions this week. We are starting off today with the NFC East, guys. We will dive right in here defending champs, but will not be the champs. Again, this year there will not be a repeat as of yesterday. Erickson got that one very wrong. The Philadelphia Eagles winning the division. Sorry, Erickson. I thought Lane Johnson was going to play. And then I found out 90 minutes before the game. He wasn't. And I was like, this is going to be absolutely terrible. And I was 100% right with that take right before things kicked off. So, yeah, I thought he was going to play. You switched it to the correct take at the last second, I suppose. The Eagles won the division this year, though.

So, Erickson, let's start with you.

What is your takeaway for the Eagles this year?

Fade the running back that leads the NFL and touches one season into the next season,

especially when they go over 400.

I was very much against drafting Saquo and Barclay where he was going in draft season

because he was coming off. This monster workboat, I think he hit almost 500 touches in 24.

And I thought that the long track record of running backs hitting that type of mark the next season,

you just don't see anything positive from them. They always fall off,

whether it's they stay healthy, they're not as efficient as they were the year before, or sometimes they get injured out right now. Barkley, he didn't really suffer any injuries, although it wouldn't surprise me at all if we get a report in the coming weeks that Sequel Barkley was battling through some type of PCL injury, you know, something along those lines that impacted how

efficient he was. But, you know, the Eagles offense, we know they dealt with some injuries

on their offensive line. I just go back to when this, a certain running back, especially

an older one, past the age of 27, sees 400 plus touches. You don't draft that guy the next year.

So, Christian McCaffrey, 413 touches to end the regular season,

now up to 434 after another 21 touch performance in the wildcar round against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Not going to be drafted Christian McCaffrey.

Most likely in 2026.

Jake, how do you feel about it?

Tired, because it's 370, it's 400, it's 420, like pick a damn number.

Like, like, I will say, look, if you've seen the recap video that I did with Joe and Pat, if you're watching this one,

and if you're watching the first round one, then I'm going to be doing with Joe and Erickson, it's going to become tiresome for you
