Recapping day two of NFL free agency right now on fantasy football today and five.

0:05.4

Good morning, everybody. Welcome to the show here on this Wednesday. I'm Adam Azer with Chris

0:10.5

Towers on FFT and 5, getting you caught up fast on the fantasy news and advice you need to know.

0:15.1

Follow us and stream us on Spotify. Chris, what was the biggest news item of the day? It wasn't quite as fun as day one, which

0:24.5

wasn't really that great anyway. But what did you think of day two? What was the biggest news item?

0:30.1

It had to be the Patriot signing Hunter Henry, which kind of undid what I thought was the biggest news of the first day of free agency,

which was Johnny Smith going to the Patriots.

1:28.5

quarterback for fantasy, thanks to his rushing ability and an improved receiving core.

1:33.8

Let's talk about Andy Dalton.

1:35.2

Andy Dalton going to the Bears, not guaranteed to be the starter, but obviously has a chance.

1:40.0

And he was pretty good his last seven games.

1:42.4

He had a stretch of 24 points, 13 points, 21, 19, 20, 32.
