Summary
Marcas Grant and Michael F. Florio are back for a new edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast to recap Week 3 of the NFL season! To start, the hosts talk through recent headlines and things we’ve learned thus far, including: Tennessee Titans wide receiver A.J. Brown left Sunday’s game in the first quarter with a hamstring injury and did not return; New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley might be okay after all; Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Cooper Kupp is on fire; and rookie quarterbacks continue to pose enticing defensive matchups through three weeks. After that, the experts spotlight a few of the week’s top performers, specifically Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Mike Williams and Jacksonville Jaguars running back James Robinson. Next, they discuss the biggest disappointments of the week, including the Ravens offensive production, wide receiver Robert Woods in Los Angeles, and some extra salt for Atlanta Falcons rookie tight end Kyle Pitts. Then, Marcas and Michael play a game of “True or False,” analyzing Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris, Kansas City Chiefs running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen, Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Ja’Marr Chase, and the Arizona Cardinals running back tandem of Chase Edmonds and James Conner. Later, the hosts cover the top waiver wire pickups for this week, looking closely at Buffalo Bills running back Zack Moss, Las Vegas Raiders running back Peyton Barber, Indianapolis Colts running back Nyheim Hines, Carolina Panthers rookie Chuba Hubbard, and Atlanta Falcons running back Cordarrelle Patterson. Then the hosts go back and forth previewing the Monday Night Football game between the Dallas Cowboys and Philadelphia Eagles. Finally, we wrap up the show with a tribute to the late Mike Tagliere.

| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. |
| 0:02.6 | Guaranteed Human. |
| 0:14.6 | What is up? |
| 0:15.8 | Welcome to another edition of the NFL fantasy football show. |
| 0:18.8 | It's me, your man, M.G. Marcus Grant, still fully vaccinated, still dodging variants like Neo in The Matrix. I need to see new variant. May you have to make some kind of Loki connection or something? You've got to do something with these variants. As always, though, joined by producer Justin, by producer Hitham, a cast of dozens, the specialists behind the scenes that you don't see. And of course, right here, |
| 0:37.9 | I guess on my screen, it's to my right, I think in real life to my left. I don't know. Either way, it's Michael F. Florio. It was, I always say it was a wild week, but I always feel like we always say that. But I guess it was sort of an interesting week this week. I don't know how to describe it, Florio. |
| 0:52.2 | Yeah, it was interesting is a good way, I think. |
| 0:54.9 | It was a lot of what we expected to happen. The opposite kind of happened. And, you know, some players came through for us, but the usage on some guys was just weird this week. It was, and not a lot of touchdown scored early on. Like, we were just sitting at work just when are when are points going to start being scored? |
| 1:12.3 | Yeah, offense was hard for a lot of teams in the early slate of games. It did get better as the |
| 1:17.9 | day went on, but it was not great early. And you're right, the usage rates on some players |
| 1:23.1 | were very, very strange. So we will probably get into that. We will also play some true or false |
| 1:28.8 | with a number of key players that we saw in week three. We'll have your top waiver wire picks |
| 1:33.1 | heading into week four. And of course, we will have a Monday night football preview. The Eagles and |
| 1:38.6 | the Cowboys, big showdown in the NFC East. But we will start as we normally do with, with a little bit of fantasy news here, some of your headlines. |
| 1:48.0 | Actually, just one headline. |
| 1:49.9 | A.J. Brown for the Tennessee Titans left the game in the first quarter, had a hamstring injury in their game against the Indianapolis Colts. |
| 1:58.9 | Did not return after leaving early. |
| 2:01.0 | In fact, even Julio Jones ended up sitting out late in that game. |
| 2:04.2 | According to head coach Mike Vrable, it's more about just managing guys. |
| 2:08.0 | He sort of knew how that game would end and kind of wanted to avoid risking any of these |
| 2:12.6 | players to injury. |
| 2:13.7 | But Floreal, I mean, A.J. Brown, a big part of not just what the Titans do, but a lot of fantasy teams, if he is out for an extended period of time. Is this better for Julio? Is there somebody else there that we should be paying attention to? For right now, my thinking is it, it's better for Julio Jones. I know like Nick Westbrook, Akeen, is that how you say his name? I know he |
