Hey, everybody.

It's Wednesday, October 25th, 2020.

Welcome to the NFL fantasy football show.

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

joined by Michael F. Florio.

On today's show, we are previewing Thursday night football

and the early Sunday games from week eight.

We are through seven weeks.

We are about to begin week eight.

I say this. Last week, I was like, hey, man, we're already to week seven. This week I woke up and I'm like, oh, we're only to week eight. Why did time stop in the last seven days? I don't, it also feels like we're much deeper into the fan. Like people were panicking last week about stuff and it's like, hey like hey we're we've only played half the regular season fantasy games so far so we got we got a lot left

lot of time left which means if your team's not doing well there's still time for you to turn it

around and that's what we're here to help you do what we will go through the entire week 8

slate and we will give you our fantasy heroes as well.

But first let's get started with some fantasy headlines.

And we will start in Cleveland where Jerome Ford is expected to miss one or two weeks with an ankle injury.

Compile that with the fact that Deshaun Watson apparently is going to miss week eight with a shoulder issue that

continues to linger. So the Browns down a couple of pieces on offense. But let's look at the

backfield with Jerome Ford gone. Who would you rather have? Karim Hunt or Pierre Strong?

Kareem Hunt pretty easily for me. I know last week they played about the same amount of snaps.

It was 10 carries for Hunt, eight for Pierre Strong. But Kareem Hunt, even when Jerome Ford is there, has been the back that they like to use in the red zone. And to me, that is a huge difference maker. The fact that he's going to be getting touches near the goal line, it could be the one that punches it in to score touchdowns, especially in a week like this one against the Seahawks who do not allow a lot of yards at all on the ground. You want to play the guy who has a chance of scoring a touchdown, maybe even two. I do think it's Kareem Hunt for me, but I think it's going to be closer than a lot of people anticipate one, because that's just how the fantasy season has gone.
