Welcome back to the Yahoo fantasy football forecast. And we have some stuff to discuss heading into the biggest week on the NFL calendar. I am Andy Barron's. I am joined today on a Monday by Liz Loza. And yes, we will dive fully into a Chiefs, Bucks preview.

0:24.0

But first, wow, we had weekend news.

0:24.9

We have a trade.

0:33.6

The rest of the NFL refuses to just sit still for a damn week and allow this to this game week to unfold.

0:38.2

The Los Angeles Rams have acquired Matthew Stafford in exchange for Jared Goff,

a third round pick in 2021, a couple of future firsts. Liz, are you just fully back aboard the Rams bandwagon? What's your initial reaction? Yes, I immediately tweeted out a couple of things,

Kelly, we're not sure about you yet.
