Summary
Adam Aizer and Jamey Eisenberg dive into the biggest storylines heading into Week 3 of the preseason, starting with a quick update on Jaxon Dart's role and value (0:20). They break down the Steelers' backfield as Jaylen Warren tries to fend off Kaleb Johnson (2:11), and how the Saints' QB competition could shake up Alvin Kamara and Chris Olave's outlook (3:30). The guys talk Ollie Gordon and which rookie RBs are trending up in fantasy circles (6:10). Next, Jaydon Blue is pushing for reps, but how does he stack up against a healthy Javonte Williams (8:00)? Finally, they assess whether Isiah Pacheco is being overlooked in drafts (10:20), and what we need to see this week before locking in our rankings.

| 0:00.0 | What are we looking for in preseason week three? We'll talk about it right now on FFT Express. |
| 0:10.4 | It's Adam and Jamie here on this Friday morning. And before we get into what's coming up, |
| 0:17.3 | how about the two games from last night, Patriots, Giants, Steelers, Panthers? |
| 0:22.0 | Any big takeaways from those games? |
| 0:24.0 | I thought Jackson Dart look good again, you know, just really making a strong case for himself |
| 0:28.8 | that once he does get an opportunity to start, whether it's at some point this season or maybe |
| 0:32.7 | next season, then Giants fans should be encouraged, whether he's going to be legit or not, you know, for consecutive games, consecutive seasons, you know, I'm sure you as a Giants guy, Dan is a giant's guy, have your, uh, your rose-colored glasses on or maybe the opposite, you know, just a concern. But he's, he's definitely handled himself, I think, very well in the preseason. |
| 0:54.3 | Really, there was nothing much. I was good to see, it was glad, I was glad to see Scatabu out there and looking like he can, you know, for people that drafted early, you know, maybe at some point have a role, you know, but just to get some game action in. And thank God for Jalen Hyatt catching that touchdown. How about James Winston? It walks right in on the field, bang, |
| 1:11.3 | touchdown, |
| 1:11.8 | see you |
| 1:12.0 | later. |
| 1:13.2 | Yeah. |
| 1:13.8 | He's so fun. |
| 1:14.7 | And it's important in perspective, right? Because if you're getting so hyped about Jackson Dart, well, James Winston's actually had a pretty good preseason too. But I guess the question would be there's probably two scenarios here. If russell wilson injury occurs and the giants are |
| 1:28.7 | 500 or better who starts i think it's dark i think he's going to be cuby too and he and look he he |
| 1:35.1 | can move a little bit he did have a pretty eye-opening preseason it wasn't just the the numbers and |
| 1:39.6 | his numbers last night weren't nearly as good as they should have been because the giants dropped |
| 1:42.6 | four passes yep um he made some ridiculous so it's about the one where he got hit and threw the ball downfield and just perfectly placed it. I don't even know who that was who dropped it. It wasn't Hyatt, but he was really good. And this processing seemed pretty good. He did some good things mentally throughout the preseason as well. |
| 2:19.3 | He goes through his progression, too. Yeah, we saw his mobility. So I think you'd have to at least be encouraged by what we saw. And then we talked about the Steelers running back. Let's make a little, let's make a little bet. I'm in full PPR. I'm going to take Caleb Johnson, best Steelers running back this year. I'll take Jaylen Warren. injuries related or no. |
| 2:18.1 | Yeah, I think. Johnson, best Steelers running back this year. I'll take Jalen Warren. Injuries related or no? |
| 2:20.5 | Yeah, I think per game, |
| 2:24.1 | not 50% of the snaps or more, but like normal |
