Hey, everybody. It's Wednesday, September 3rd, 2025. Welcome to the NFL fantasy football show

0:54.4

where the time for talk is over. The time for football is now. To me and your man, M.G. Marcus Grant, joined by Michael F. Florio and Lequan Jones. We made it, guys, through the long dark night of the off season. Yes. Congratulations. I'm excited. We have actual football substance to talk about now. Absolutely, we're gonna dive into that. We're getting you ready for week one with game previews,

1:12.7

must starts and some sleepers as well. We're going to

1:15.1

start with a one fantasy headline. That coming from the team that plays across the street. One of the

1:21.9

two teams that plays across the street at SoFi Stadium. Naji Harris is reportedly ramping up to play Friday against the Chiefs.

1:29.6

That game's going to be in Sao Paulo.

1:31.2

Of course, he missed pretty much the entirety of training camp in the preseason

1:34.6

as he was dealing with an eye injury,

1:36.6

which is why we only have video footage of him in a Steelers uniform.

1:40.9

Not enough for me to not start Hampton. Like, I'm playing Hampton in week one if I took him. Look, Harris hasn't played all preseason, like we said. Not only has, not only has he not played, he hasn't been at practice, and this is a new offense, so it might take him a little bit to get going, and that means there's a runway for Hampton to just take a stranglehold on the heavy part of this job and be like a set and forget a guy in for fantasy. So no worries, Laquan about Greg Roman saying we're going to be a two-back team. No, there is worries. There's definitely going to be a two-back system. I do think that we're kind of underrating of like where the chargers are and what their identity is for this offense. Like there will be a ramp up period for Najee Harris as the season progresses because, again, he's been out this entire summer. Like we don't know anything about it.

2:35.5

It's good to see him that he's tracking the ball, catching the ball and et cetera, et cetera. But I think more so when we look at him, Martin Hampton, there's no way you're telling the owner right now that you're going to sit him. No, definitely not going to sit him after you spit that draft capital on him. He's going to get opportunity. the question becomes how much we will all find out together.
