We are recapping the first day of free agency right now on fantasy football today in five.

0:08.8

I'm Adam Azer with Heath Cummings.

0:10.5

Going to get Heath's opinions on what happened on Monday as of about 5 p.m. Eastern.

0:14.8

So that's Christian Kirk and Chase Edm. James Connor, Mitchie, those are the big ones, I'd suppose.

0:20.3

Heath, what's it out to you?

0:21.5

What was your favorite fantasy football thing that happened on Monday?

0:26.0

My favorite fantasy football thing.

0:28.0

Well, I'm happy that Mitchell Trubisky gets another chance to start in the NFL,

0:31.6

gets to try to pull off the Ryan Tannahill resurrection in a different place.

0:36.8

I hope that I don't think it's necessarily a bad thing for Deontay Johnson or whoever else happens to be fantasy relevant there in Pittsburgh.

0:44.5

I think there's a little bit of hope for him that with a new quarterback coming in,

1:06.3

he could build rapport that he didn't have with Ben Rothesberger.

1:09.0

But for the most part, I think it'll probably be Deonti and Najee and everybody else is fighting for scraps. So no change for Najee? I did not. At first, and there were some people on Twitter talking about how, you know, it's a mobile quarterback. Maybe there won't be as many running back targets. But then you remember, he threw the ball 92 times on 509 attempts to Tariq Cohen in 2019.

1:30.3

In 2018, more than 20% of his passes went to Cohen and Jordan Howard.

1:33.9

So if anything, I think maybe Naji might have a chance of averaging better than four yards

1:38.1

per carry if they get some misdirection going with Trubisky in the running game.
