Summary

Marcas Grant, Michael F. Florio, and LaQuan Jones are back together in-studio and joined by special guest Scott Porter — actor and Friday Night Lights alum!

First, the trio dives into the latest fantasy-relevant news, including: Kyren Williams' three-year extension with the Rams, James Cook’s “hold-in” at Bills training camp, Steelers OC Arthur Smith’s evolving offense and Terry McLaurin’s trade request out of Washington (1:16)

Then, Scott Porter joins the show to share his fantasy football roots and what turned him into a die-hard Broncos fan. He breaks down Denver’s turnaround under Sean Payton and why he’s high on rookie RJ Harvey this season. (16:23)

Scott also reveals his go-to draft strategies, how his approach has evolved, and the players he’s targeting — as well as avoiding — in 2025 drafts. (42:02)

Finally, the crew highlights potential league-winners, and Scott teases his dream for a Friday Night Lights reunion. (59:19)

0:00.0	This is an IHeart podcast.
0:17.1	Hey, everybody. It's Tuesday, August 5th, 2025. Welcome to the NFL fantasy football show where we're clear eyes, full hearts can't lose. It's being your man, M.G. Marcus Grant, joined by Michael F. Florio and Lequan Jones. We're here, one, we're all together in the same place. I can reach out and touch each other. Like, that's a thing that hasn't happened in several months. But we're also here in the podcast studio.
0:38.4	Again, a thing that hasn't happened in a while. We used to call this our home base. If you listen for a while, not only is this recognized from the pod, we used to do Fantasy Live from here. We used to do Fantasy Live in here once upon a time. But anyway, that's neither here nor there. The reason we are all together, and the reason
0:55.3	we are here in the podcast studio is we have a special guest coming on the show today. It is actor
1:00.2	Scott Porter, who you may probably know as Jason Street from the show Friday Night Lights. He is
1:08.0	not only a fantasy fan. He's a big time Denver Broncos fan. So we're going to talk to him
1:12.2	about the Broncos, talking about his fantasy life and, you know, talking about some of the acting
1:16.6	gigs as well, too. So that should be a whole lot of fun. So stick around for that. The meantime,
1:21.1	we do have some news we want to get to before we join our special guest. And news is just broke
1:27.1	literally just. I'm so excited. A little bit before we started recording special guest. And news just broke up.
1:28.2	Literally just.
1:28.8	I'm so excited.
1:31.9	A little bit before we started recording this show.
1:35.5	Kairn Williams had been looking for a contract extension.
1:40.1	All reports out of Rams Camp were that it was going to get done.
1:41.6	Kiron wasn't worried about it.
2:01.4	Les Sneed, Sean McVeigh, they didn't seem worried about it. And there's reason to not be worried about it because it gets done. Three years, $33 million is the extension for Kairn Wood. Old some. Lechuan Jones. Your thoughts. All eyes on me because you guys think I dislike Kairri. No. I don't know. Just we, I don't know. We're just listening to your words.
2:02.5	That's all.
2:03.0	Listen, I'm happy the boy is paid.
2:05.3	Now we can get back to the road to the Super Bowl,
2:07.9	33 days until we see Matthew Stafford and
2:10.6	Carmen Williams into the end zone.
