Welcome to the NFL fantasy football show.

It's me, your man, M.G. Marcus Grant. Coming up on the show,

we are previewing the late Sunday and Monday games from week one and giving you our season

opening fantasy heroes. Play more games to get to on the Sunday slate. We've got the Green Bay Packers

and the Chicago Bears, the longtime rivalry in the NFC North. And the Packers, I don't know if you heard this, they don't have Aaron Rogers anymore. I know. It's a complete shocker. Since when? You know what? It just rolled across my desk. I'm just finding out about this. No one's talked about it. It's weird. So what do we expect, though, for this Packers' offense, now that they don't have number 12 calling the signals there?

I think it's... just finding out about this. No one's talked about it. It's weird. So what do we expect, though, for this Packers offense now that they don't have number 12 calling the signals there?

I think it's going to look very, very different than it has with Aaron Rogers there. Look,

Jordan Love does bring some upside, but we have no idea what this offense is going to look like

with Jordan Love. It's been a very long time since we haven't seen it with Aaron Rogers.

Plus, right now, Romeo Dobbs and suddenly Christian Watson are dealing with injuries.

If that is the case and those guys end up missing, I think you start Aaron Jones.

You could consider Jaden Reed maybe in deeper leagues, but I'd kind of avoid this offense if those guys are hurt. I think this is going to be a very run-heavy offense, especially early in the season. I think Aaron Jones sees a lot of work. I think A.J. Dillon gets a lot of work. And the Bears' run defense last year was not great. We'll see if they have shorted up a little bit, but they were not very good against the posing ground game.

So that could take some of the pressure off Jordan Love. No one's expecting love to be Aaron Rogers.

That's just an unfair expectation. And now you've got Christian Watson, Romeo Dobbs, a little bit banged up.

So that takes away from what passing game they do have.

I just think this is going to look more like a traditional sort of ground-and-pound offense until everything sort of gets on track in the next couple of weeks.

The Las Vegas Raiders taking on one of their big rivals, the Denver Broncos in week one.

Last year, the Broncos offense led us down in a huge way. How are you handling anybody from Denver in week one last year the broncos offense let us down in a huge way how are you handling anybody from denver in week one this year so much so depends on if jerry judy plays or not like i'm kind of

hoping he doesn't because then it's a little bit more straightforward if he plays we got to worry if
