Summary

Michael F. Florio returns to the show, joining Marcas Grant for a brand new edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. To start, MG and Florio react to the latest preseason news: the season-ending injury to Jacksonville Jaguars running back Travis Etienne and what it means for James Robinson and Carlos Hyde. The hosts also give their thoughts on Matt Nagy’s commitment to quarterback Andy Dalton over Justin Fields and Saquon Barkley’s return to team drills for the New York Giants. Next, they play a game of “Real or Mirage,” analyzing the New England Patriots quarterback situation, Ja’Marr Chase’s standing in the wide receiver pecking order for the Cincinnati Bengals with Auden Tate potentially taking snaps, the probability of Taylor Heinicke taking over as Washington Football Team’s starting quarterback, and Carson Wentz’s status as Week 1 approaches. Then, the duo discusses the changing running back landscape, noting if they are higher or lower now on certain players than they were a couple months ago, specifically Jonathan Taylor, Austin Ekeler, Najee Harris, Myles Gaskin, Darrell Henderson, David Montgomery, and D’Andre Swift.

Welcome to another edition of the NFL fantasy football show.

0:18.4

It's me, your man, M.G. Marcus Grant's fully vaccinated.

0:21.2

Still dodging variants like Neo and the Matrix. You know the whole deal, yada, yada, yada. Ah, well, I know it is still summer in most of the country and most of the northern hemisphere. But for us, it's fall. It is officially fall. We are through two weeks of the preseason. We got one more week left, and we're a couple weeks away from the regular season starting.

0:39.3

By the way, welcome to the show.

0:40.5

Probably should have said that earlier. fall. We are through two weeks of the preseason. We got one more week left, and we're a couple

0:37.6

weeks away from the regular season starting. By the way, welcome to the show. Probably should

0:40.9

have said that earlier. We got producer Justin alongside, and I'm so excited because the band is

0:45.9

back together. Michael F. Florio has come back from his extended wanderings through the

0:51.3

wilderness and is now back with us twice a week through the rest of the

0:56.0

season. Florio, it's wonderful to have the band back together, man. How have you been in the last

1:01.4

I take a couple months of time? I've talked to you since then, but the last couple months

1:04.6

as you've been on this show. I've been good. I'm super excited to be back. The long summer is over. I've been doing a lot of stuff to kill time, Marcus. I've played a lot of Madden recently. I've played more basketball the last couple of months than in probably the last few years. But I'm happy to be back and just talking some football. This is what I love to do. So just happy to the band is back together, like you said.

2:19.2

Yeah, man, it's great. I know you've been doing, you've been still doing the serious XM stuff. So I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm yanking you away from Scott Engel. I know he's the king. He's been doing it for a long time. But Scott, you'll be fine. We're bringing Florio back into the fold here. So plenty stuff to talk about, although you and I spent the, you know, five or ten minutes before we started this show, talking about baseball and the Mets and the Dodgers and the like. I don't think you really want to talk about that right now. Yeah, they're just going in very different directions. It's much more enjoyable to be a Dodger fan right now. You know, it's weird because I know like we talked about this back in the spring, like things were looking up for the Mets and it just suddenly fell apart. They became the Mets again. They realized, hey, we are the Mets. We cannot have good things happen to us. That's kind of what happened, unfortunately. All right, I guess speaking of not being able to have good things happen to them,

2:24.9

that leads us to the Jacksonville Jaguars, who played on Monday night, their second preseason game,

2:30.4

this one against the New Orleans Saints. On the scoreboard, it was a narrow loss, 23, 21.

2:35.4

If you watched any part of the game, it certainly did not feel that close.

2:40.7

But the biggest news may be coming out of that is that rookie running back Travis ETN suffered a Liz Frank injury.

2:43.3

He was seen on a walking boot at the end of the night was in quite a bit of pain,

apparently.
