Preseason Week 1 is here, and we’re breaking down the biggest storylines every fantasy football manager needs to know heading into 2025! We start with the unfortunate injury to Anthony Richardson (2:22) and what it means for the Colts. We dive into (4:15) Ashton Jeanty's limited preseason action — is it cause for concern? Keaton Mitchell (5:58) is drawing buzz as a potential Derrick Henry handcuff — we break down the role and upside. Then, Shedeur Sanders (7:00) is set to start for the Browns. We look at what to expect from the Chiefs (7:49) this preseason and which players to keep a close eye on. Chase Brown's outlook (8:12) gets the full treatment — did he carve out a legit RB1 role? One of the most anticipated debuts of the week: Travis Hunter (8:45) finally takes the field, and we talk expectations for the two-way phenom. Finally, we try to untangle the messy Broncos backfield (10:12) — who’s leading, and who’s worth stashing?

| 0:59.2 | You can play flight football okay all right so let's talk about anthony richardson who looks like he dodged a bullet with a dislocated finger |
| 1:04.5 | but didn't really look great so thoughts on the colts i mean obviously it was bad across the board |
| 1:10.7 | you know defensively offensively they just looked awful, but special teams. But it's preseason, so no reason to panic. I think in the case of Richardson, like you said, day to day, according to reports on Friday, we'll see how once they get back on the practice field and how much they'll actually get him out there. But it's a benefit to Daniel Donson, maybe try and steal the job. |
| 1:31.0 | At this point, I think it's really the only cult you should be targeting is Jonathan Taylor. |
| 1:38.5 | And then if Tyler Warren falls to the right spot, you take a shot on him. |
| 1:43.3 | You know, he's in the top 10 mix. But Josh Downs and Michael Pittman could really be in for a struggling season because I don't think Daniel Jones coming in offers the same upside as Gardner Minchu two years ago or even Joe Flackle last year. Like this could be a very, very bad passing attack. I like it better. At this point, I feel like it, you know, I feel like it's going to be Jones. |
