| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. |
| 0:02.6 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:16.5 | Hey, everybody. It's Thursday, September 14th, 2020. |
| 0:20.4 | Welcome to the NFL fantasy football show. It's me, your man, M.G. Marcus Grant, with my guy Michael F. Florio. We're previewing the late Sunday games and the Monday night doubleheader. Plus, we're giving you our week two fantasy heroes. We will go down to the AFC South, a couple of rookie quarterbacks in the Colts and the Texans, Anthony Richardson going against C.J. Stroud. But let's talk about a wide receiver because Michael Pittman |
| 0:41.0 | had a pretty good day, 97 yards, and a touchdown of the one of them was a long catch and run. |
| 0:46.3 | Are you starting Michael Pittman in this one against Houston? I don't think I am. I understand |
| 0:50.6 | the volume and everything that he saw in week one, but the Texans have allowed the fewest passing touchdowns since the start of last season, and they're in the bottom ten and passing yards allowed. |
| 1:00.5 | It gets overlooked because they have the worst run defense in football. |
| 1:05.1 | And I expect a Colts team with Anthony Richardson. |
| 1:08.5 | They're getting Zach Moss back. |
| 1:09.9 | I think they are going to try to establish the run all day long. |
| 1:13.4 | And I don't think this is a game where they'll be trailing. |
| 1:15.8 | That is why they had to throw so much in the second half last week against the Jaguars. |
| 1:19.6 | Yeah, the fact that this is, I anticipate being a close game is what means Michael Pitman may not see quite as much volume. |
| 1:27.3 | Plus, and I said on the show on Monday that it was nice that he had that big game, |
| 1:32.9 | but so much of it was yards after the catch. |
| 1:34.7 | And that is a really hard way to live for fantasy managers. |
| 1:38.3 | So I would stay away from Michael Pittman if I could in this one. |
| 1:42.1 | And as much as the Texas have been bad against the run, I think D'Amico Ryans is really going to turn it up on this defense this year. But since I anticipate this being close, I think this is going to be a run-heavy game for both sides there. Chiefs and the Jaguars, a replay of a playoff game from last year, a very good playoff game from last year. The Chiefs somehow just survived. |
| 2:02.4 | They did not survive in week one against the Lions. No Travis Kelsey that week. Hopefully he's |
| 2:07.7 | available this week. We know we're starting Patrick Mahomes. We're starting Travis Kelsey if he plays. |
| 2:13.2 | Are you starting any other Chiefs? Sounds pretty crazy to say, but I don't think so. |
