What is up?

Welcome to another edition of the NFL Fantasy Live podcast.

It's me, your man, M.G. Marcus Grant, alongside the Fantasy Hall of Famer, Michael Fabianano.

And it's not playoff time fantasy-wise, but it's about time to start thinking playoff time.

Yeah, it is.

And now is the time, if you haven't been doing so already, looking at the schedule, making

trades, trade for guys who have really favorable schedules

in the fantasy postseason if you're headed there and trade away those who might have bad

schedules and a couple of the running backs who have very favorable schedules dalvin cook when he

comes back whenever he comes back and and we just made a trade involving Dalvin Cook.

And David Johnson, too, who will talk about? We're going to talk about David Johnson. Because I'm excited about David Johnson again. There's reason to be optimistic about David Johnson again. Before we get to that, though, and plenty of other stuff behind the glasses always is our faithful producer. Edward. Sir Edward L. Murphy, Esquire. Murph, what's up? You guys are talking about it. David Johnson and playoff time.

I mean,

I'm linked to him in many leagues.

And Marcus, your tweet before about Byron Lefrich coming to see him in his season. I thought it was extremely funny. The picture of him getting carried when he was a member of the Marshall Thundering herd. Hopefully he makes David Johnson, like, worthy of being a top three to five pick, which money leaks he was.

Right, which, you know, I sent that out because what inspired it was a quote from

Byron Leftwich, who was the new play caller in Arizona, saying that he plans to use David

Johnson the way Bruce Ariens used David Johnson two seasons ago when he had his huge year.

So that's, that's all we can ask. That really is all we can ask. Yeah. I wish we could bring back the quarterback and the offensive line he had in 2016. But we'll see. I mean, at least there's some reason for optimism. Baby steps. Plus, that Byron left which game, you know, I don't know if you remember watching that game. I do. Yeah, I do. It was one of the most phenomenal things I've ever seen in a college football game. For those who don't know, and I don't remember who they were playing, but Marshall trailing in a game in which Byron Leftwich had actually broken his leg and the thundering herd trying to run a two-minute drill offense to come back and win, which they did, by the way, but They won it with Byron Leftwich standing in the pocket, throwing a pass, but not being able to run because of his injury. So his offensive linemen, two of them would pick him up and literally carry him to the line of scrimmage for the next play. It was still one of the most amazing things I think I've ever seen. Now I have to watch it. He, uh, just to update November 2nd, 2002, Marshall took on Akron in a Macroids season game. Uh, unfortunately Marshall lost 34 to 20, but Leftwich had over 300 yards with a broken leg. So they lost that game. I thought they won that game for some reason. I think just the awe asked me that he just stayed in the game and somehow chucked the ball for over 30 yards.

Like as he was getting carried on the field by three o'clock. some reason. I think just the awe aspect was that he just stayed in the game and somehow chucked the

ball for over 300 yards.
