Hey, everybody. It's Monday, September 18th, 2023. Welcome to the NFL fantasy football show. It's me, your man, NG. Marcus Grant, joined by Michael F. Florio. We are almost through week two, Florio. And I don't really know what to say. It's always easy to say it's a weird week. But injuries seem to be the order of the day the first two weeks of the season. Yeah, definitely. Injuries have been a big thing. It also felt like week two was kind of like the normalizing week. Like a lot of weird stuff happens in week one. Then week two happens and like you could kind of breathe a little bit. Yeah, we always overreact wildly in one direction after week one. This seemed like we were kind of coming back to earth a little bit in week two.

So we'll dive into that with some things we learned in week two.

Also have some top performers, biggest disappointment, and we'll play a round of who'd you rather.

But let's start as we always do with some fantasy headlines.

And speaking of injuries, Anthony Richardson was at the start of what looked like it was going

to be a really big day.

He had run for a couple of touchdowns, then suffers a concussion, exits the game.

Gardner Menshoe finishes things out for the Colts and their win over the Houston Texans.

So we'll wait to see what the status is going to be for Richardson, who was off to a very

good start this season.

If he does not play next week against the Baltimore Ravens, are there any cults you'd consider

starting?

Yeah.

Well, if he plays, he's a must start option moving forward, I think, just because of the rushing. If he sits, we did see Garner-Minshu target Michael Pittman Jr. a whole lot. As more of a pure pocket passer, I think we could expect a little bit of uptake and volume for him. I also think Zach Moss, I don't love him, but he played 55 of the 56 snaps this week. That's hard to ignore.

That's the thing is that we were wondering how that backfield rotation was going to shake out.

I mean, I know a lot of people were big on Evan Hull. Unfortunately, he is injured, so he's not

available. And really, with no Evan Hull, if it's just Dion Jackson and Zach Moss,

Moss looks like the guy. You mentioned the Snapshare that he played, 18 carries for 88 yards and a touchdown. So if there is a Colts running back to keep an eye on, it appears to be him. I do think if you have Gardner Minshu, I think that puts Michael Pittman back into play. Just because Minshu's not going to run the way Richardson does.

He's going to deliver the ball a little bit more, spread it around. So I think that does give

Pittman some value, but the matchup is not great against a pretty good Ravens defense next week.
