See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
FFW Micro - Kirk Cousins
May 02, 2023 12:00 - 11 minutes - 10.5 MBOne of the sneaky winners from the NFL draft was Vikings quarterback Kirk "Wheels" Cousins.

See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
FFW Micro - Isiah Pacheco

FFW Micro - DJ Moore
April 26, 2023 17:00 - 12 minutes - 11.8 MBPresumably, the Chicago passing offense now goes through DJ Moore, much like it did in Carolina. Are Moore's prospects for 2023 higher or lower?

FFW Micro - Jared Goff
April 25, 2023 20:45 - 13 minutes - 12.2 MBJared Goff leads an ascending team filled with solid receivers. Yet, his early draft status suggests shows universal disinterest from the fantasy community.

FFW Micro - Jahan Dotson
April 24, 2023 15:24 - 10 minutes - 9.91 MBDespite coming off a seven-touchdown rookie season, Jahan Dotson is weirdly undervalued.

FFW Micro - Miles Sanders
April 19, 2023 12:00 - 11 minutes - 10.4 MBMiles Sanders looks like the go-to back in an offense that's likely to run a lot. Will Sanders be allowed to carry the workload for Frank Reich? If so, will he be any good in that role? Can his receiving numbers go up? Charch and Tyler break down the upside and downside of Sanders' new opportunity. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

FFW Micro - Deshaun Watson
April 13, 2023 12:00 - 12 minutes - 11.3 MBDeshaun Watson is a polarizing figure, so it's no surprise that Charch and Tyler have differing viewpoints of his forthcoming season. Last year's performances were very lackluster until the end of the season, but his 2018-2022 seasons were elite. Which version will we get in 2023? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
FFW Micro - Travis Etienne
April 12, 2023 12:00 - 9 minutes - 9.03 MBEven though the Jaguars blew away expectations and made the playoffs, Travis Etienne's fantasy season never quite came together.

FFW Micro - TJ Hockenson

FFW Micro - Tony Pollard
April 06, 2023 11:00 - 11 minutes - 10.8 MBRight now, before the NFL draft, maybe no player has a greater range of possible outcomes for the 2023 season than Tony Pollard.

In today's edition of FFW Micro, Charch and Tyler Knaeble churn the analytics to find the upside and downside in Dallas' franchise runner. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
FFW Micro - Mike Evans
April 05, 2023 11:00 - 9 minutes - 8.85 MBIt's pretty easy to feel skeptical about Mike Evans, considering his disappointing season and the loss of Tom Brady.
