Summary

Michael F. Florio and LaQuan Jones open the show with the breaking news that Aaron Rodgers has confirmed that 2025 will be his final NFL season. Then, the guys break down the rest of the most fantasy-relevant headlines including the QB competition in Indianapolis and Deebo Samuel’s role in the Commanders' offense. (2:27)

After the break, Florio and LQ break down the biggest ‘What Ifs’ at the tight end position. Could Brock Bowers and Trey McBride have enough upside to warrant a second-round pick? What is the leading reason that Florio hasn’t drafted George Kittle in any of his drafts this year? And how will a new offensive coordinator in Detroit impact Sam LaPorta’s fantasy value? (18:58)

After the break, the guys examine the tight end ‘dead zone’ and which of the most talented players are also the scariest to draft. They share their favorite late-round tight ends and toss out a unique theory on Travis Kelce’s decline. (51:39)
