What is up?

Welcome to another edition of the NFL fantasy football show.

It's me, your man, M.G. Marcus Grant, still fully vaccinated, still dodging Delta. And I guess now Lambda like I was Neo in the Matrix. It feels like it's never ending. We're going to get to the end of this soon. I promise I will stop using this as my intro one day soon, hopefully sooner rather than later. Anyway, beyond that. Another fun show for you. Today, producer Justin is alongside as always. and we are joined as we continue our cavalcade of fantasy stars leading up to the regular season with Ian Hartett, who is now, I say that every time you come back a second time, you were officially a friend of the show.

So Ian now officially a friend of the show.

You can find his work over at Pro Football Focus.

And contrary to popular belief, he is not actually Johnny Depp from Fear and Loading in Las Vegas. Ian, good to have you back, man. How are things? Appreciate you guys having me out again. Good to hear I have officially made it into the friend zone. But yeah, it's funny, man, with the Johnny Depp avatar. There's like one person a week that will, like, reply to someone else that has the same avatar because it's Johnny Depp playing Hunter S. Thompson. They're like, yo, why are you stealing that I heart? It's his avatar. And I have to tell them like, no, that's actually not me. Not quite as pretty as Johnny Depp at one day. Oh, man, but look, if you could be, you know, Dr. Gonzo, like,

you can just, you should make yourself into the Dr. Gonzo or the Hunter S. Thompson of fantasy football. Like, that could be a whole persona for you. That'd be great. Hey, man, just, you know, having, you know, basically being late on deadlines, doing a bunch of drugs and alcohol and people to say, oh, Hunter's gonna hunter.

Why not?

Exactly.

You know, great book, excellent movie.

If you haven't read or seen, I'm calling people to saying, oh, Hunter's going to Hunter. Why not? Exactly. You know, great book,

excellent movie. If you haven't read or seen either, I recommend him fully. All right, let's start

off, though, with some news coming out of training camp, because that's always sort of important

this time of year. It was not that long ago, maybe a week ago, that we were getting reports of Carson Wins and this injury that was going to keep him out anywhere from five to 12 weeks.

And it seemed like all gloom and doom in Indianapolis and everybody was wondering what to do and how to scramble.

Then a couple days ago, there's a report that, oh, you know what?

He could be ready by week one.

So maybe we shouldn't have thrown that pity party for Indianapolis quite so soon. As you look at this, how much does Wintz being back potentially change your outlook for that whole cult offense? It must be nice giving out these five to 12 week timetables. Maybe for our fancy rankings, we should just start saying he could be the QB6 to QB20, you know, like we'll see. Make it so much easier on that, man. Exactly, man. But yeah, so with once, I was never really on him as more than just a, you know, late QB2 dart throw option anyway because of how horrendous he was last year. And I've actually bumped him down now even behind more guys like Sam Donald, Zach Wilson, because the one

kind of saving grace for once last year, surprisingly, was his rushing ability. That's the only reason

he was somewhat of a streamer quarterback at times. And now with his foot injury, I'm concerned,
