Every NFL Monday is about looking back and looking ahead, and that’s what Brandon Funston and Scott Pianowski are here to do. We start with a look at the four departed teams — the Raiders, Lions, Dolphins, and Giants — with an eye towards their fantasy future.
Is Amari Cooper ever going to be the preferred red-zone option in Oakland? Where does Matthew Stafford go from here, in Year 2 of the post-Calvin era? Is the Jay Ajayi breakout season something we can trust going forward? Is Eli Manning still a reliable fantasy commodity? Heck, is Eli a Hall of Famer?
The second half of the show focuses on the games to come, with three juicy matchups in particular. Can the road-weary Steelers find their best form against Andy Reid, czar of the bye week? Can Russell Wilson outscore Matt Ryan, close the Georgia Dome for good? Will a sizzling Aaron Rodgers topple the NFC’s No. 1 seed, or are the precocious Cowboys too big to fail? Is there any Houston Texan worth playing at New England?
Give us about an hour, we’ll get you ready to go.
