In this week’s episode of Missing the Point, Mike Marcangelo and Rayshawn Buchanan break down a tough Patriots loss to the Raiders and dive deep into what it means moving forward. The guys take a hard look at Drake Maye’s performance, where he showed flashes of potential but also struggled under questionable play calling and poor situational decisions. They debate whether Josh McDaniels’ offensive strategy held the team back, why TreVeyon Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson weren’t used enough, and how Carlton Davis’ defensive lapses exposed the Patriots secondary. The conversation shifts to broader roster challenges, including the absence of Christian Gonzalez, Milton Williams’ growing role, and the surprising release of Jabrill Peppers. Can Mike Vrabel and his coaching staff establish a winning culture with this group, or is the lack of depth already showing cracks? Outside of Foxborough, the guys turn their attention to the AFC East, where the Miami Dolphins stumbled badly in Week 1 against the Giants. Rayshawn questions whether Mike McDaniel’s job could already be on the line, while Mike considers how long ownership will stay patient. They also break down Tua Tagovailoa’s inconsistency, Tyreek Hill’s fading explosiveness, and whether Jaylen Waddle can truly become a reliable weapon. The episode even touches on Lamar Jackson’s James Harden-like reputation in big games, Josh Allen’s playoff struggles, and the never-ending debate over Tom Brady’s legacy as a “winner” vs. a “talent.” This is a no-holds-barred look at coaching decisions, roster construction, and the big-picture direction of two of the NFL’s most talked-about franchises. If you’re a New England Patriots fan, Miami Dolphins skeptic, or just love hard-hitting football talk, this is an episode you can’t miss. 00:00 – Patriots lose to Raiders in Week 1: immediate reactions03:45 – Drake Maye’s debut performance: flashes of promise and rookie mistakes08:20 – Josh McDaniels’ play calling under fire: lack of offensive balance12:10 – Why Rhamondre Stevenson and TreVeyon Henderson need more touches16:35 – Carlton Davis struggles in coverage without Christian Gonzalez21:05 – Jabrill Peppers’ release and what it means for the Patriots secondary26:50 – Mike Vrabel’s coaching staff outcoached in Week 1 loss32:15 – Are the Patriots already facing roster depth problems?37:40 – Miami Dolphins upset by Giants: is Mike McDaniel on the hot seat?42:55 – Tua Tagovailoa’s inconsistency and Tyreek Hill’s fading explosiveness47:30 – Can Jaylen Waddle step up as Miami’s true WR1?51:45 – Lamar Jackson compared to James Harden in big moments56:20 – Josh Allen’s playoff struggles and AFC competition outlook1:01:05 – Tom Brady’s legacy: generational winner vs. generational talent1:05:50 – Patriots vs Dolphins Week 2 preview: bold predictions Stay connected with Missing the Point:Website: https://www.mtpshow.comYouTube: https://youtube.com/@MTPPodTwitter (X): https://twitter.com/MTP_podInstagram: https://instagram.com/MTP_podTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@MTP_podFacebook: https://facebook.com/MTPPodContact: craig@mtpshow.com
Kick off the week with Dynasty Nerds' risers and fallers episode, where we react to the biggest value shifts from Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season in Week 1. We highlight Javonte Williams' explosive debut with the Cowboys, which boosts his appeal for contenders. Additionally, we discuss Daniel Jones' efficient takeover with the Colts, positioning him as a sneaky QB2 buy, and Emeka Egbuka's immediate impact with the Buccaneers, scoring twice and indicating a potential WR1 trajectory.On the other side, we analyze Tua Tagovailoa's disappointing performance with the Dolphins, raising concerns about a possible blowup. We also look at Kenneth Walker's challenges with a timeshare alongside Zach Charbonnet in Seattle, and Kaleb Johnson's benching with the Steelers amid the emergence of Kenneth Gainwell and Jaylen Warren. Hosts Rich, Garret, and Jagger explore buy-low opportunities, like the potential value of post-hype Javonte Williams, concerns about panic selling Tua amid issues with Mike McDaniel, and Charbonnet's growing role in the ground-and-pound game. We also mention other players worth noting, such as Quentin Johnston's quiet rise, Dylan Sampson's PPR upside, and Isaiah Pacheco's split role with the Chiefs, which is affecting his value. Additionally, we provide injury updates on Xavier Worthy, George Kittle, Drake London, Evan Engram, Brock Bowers, and Jauan Jennings, while keeping an eye on backups like Jalen Royals, Ricky Pearsall, and RJ Harvey. Tune in for insights on trade targets, rebuilding strategies, and adjustments for contenders to capitalize on the early-season chaos. Fantasy Roster Rescue: Get your Roster Rescued!

Munaf Manji and Rod Villagomez talk NFC North and East fantasy football The NFC North and NFC East positional battles are shaping 2024 fantasy football draft strategy with a mix of clarity and confusion. As Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji break down both divisions, the key takeaway is knowing which stars are safe investments and which depth battles are draft traps . In the NFC East, the Dallas Cowboys' running back room is a muddle. Javonte Williams has underwhelmed, Miles Sanders is fading, and rookie Phil Mafah flashes upside but remains a stash candidate. The safest play is to avoid this backfield altogether. Washington, by contrast, offers stability with Jayden Daniels and Austin Ekeler, who now owns the backfield after Brian Robinson Jr.'s trade. Debo Samuel joins Terry McLaurin to form a strong receiving duo. The New York Giants are plagued by quarterback chaos with Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Jackson Dart all in play; only rookie Malik Nabers stands out as a reliable draft target. The Philadelphia Eagles remain an embarrassment of riches—Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and Saquon Barkley are all fantasy football studs . In the NFC North, the Chicago Bears spark debate at tight end. Cole Kmet is being overtaken by rookie Colston Loveland, who fits new coach Ben Johnson's system. Detroit offers no real surprises—Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Sam LaPorta, and Jahmyr Gibbs are locked-in fantasy starters. Green Bay remains frustrating: Jaden Reed is technically the WR1, but tight end Tucker Kraft, with seven touchdowns and strong YAC production, is the most reliable late-round target. Minnesota is headlined by Justin Jefferson, but Jordan Addison's suspension and injuries elsewhere leave T.J. Hockenson as a must-have. Rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy is being drafted higher than Trevor Lawrence, a puzzling ADP that highlights both risk and hype . From a fantasy football draft perspective, managers should avoid crowded backfields like Dallas and unstable quarterback situations like New York. Proven stars from Philadelphia, Washington, Detroit, and Minnesota are priority picks. Emerging tight ends such as Loveland and Kraft are prime late-round sleepers. Monitoring waiver wires in September will be critical as depth battles settle. SEO-rich terms: NFL fantasy football draft strategy, NFC East sleepers, NFC North fantasy battles, Dallas Cowboys running backs, Washington Commanders fantasy outlook, New York Giants quarterback controversy, Philadelphia Eagles fantasy stars, Chicago Bears tight end battle, Detroit Lions fantasy studs, Green Bay Packers wide receiver depth, Minnesota Vikings fantasy football values. The 2024 fantasy football season won't just be decided by first-rounders like Justin Jefferson or Saquon Barkley. League winners will come from reading these positional battles correctly, targeting volume, and jumping fast on waiver-wire value once the season begins. Learn more about your ad choices.

Munaf Manji and Rod Villagomez talk NFL fantasy AFC South position battles. [Munaf Manji | 0:06–0:40] Introduces focus on AFC South, calling it a tough fantasy division but one he knows well as a Texans fan. [Rod Villagomez | 0:40–1:40] Sees the division as building for the future; C.J. Stroud is the main fantasy draw. Mentions hidden Jacksonville talent and early Colts injury concerns. [Munaf Manji | 1:41–2:28] Podcast aims to find deep fantasy values. Notes Anthony Richardson's alarming finger injury. [Rod Villagomez | 2:29–4:06] Injury is dislocated pinky; day-to-day. Reviews limited playing history—4 games rookie year, 11 last year—warning about development setbacks. [Munaf Manji | 4:07–5:41] Colts hoped to compete; Daniel Jones played vs. Ravens (10/21, 144 yds, 0 TDs) in 24–16 preseason loss. [Rod Villagomez | 5:42–7:47] Texans RB depth impacted by Joe Mixon foot injury; Nick Chubb signed. Competition: Chubb, Damian Pierce, Woody Marks, Dare Ogunbowale. [Munaf Manji | 7:48–9:09] Chubb was preseason sleeper; Pierce's workload uncertain. [Rod Villagomez | 9:23–11:16] Pierce's 2023: 40 carries, 293 yds (7.39 YPC); career mostly ~3–4 YPC. Preseason will decide RB2. [Munaf Manji | 11:17–12:23] ADP: Chubb RB47 (~146 overall); Pierce undrafted. Texans open vs. Vikings. [Rod Villagomez | 12:24–15:22] WR2 battle with Tank Dell likely out all season (knee). Christian Kirk, rookies Jaden Higgins & Jalen Noel in mix. Dalton Schultz could finish top-4 TE. [Munaf Manji | 15:23–16:31] WR2 winner offers late-round fantasy value. [Rod Villagomez | 16:32–18:41] Colts QB battle: Richardson vs. Jones. Says it's “now or never” for Jones; Richardson's 2023 was 8 TDs, 12 INTs. [Munaf Manji | 18:42–19:59] Richardson likely starts but Jones worth monitoring on waivers. [Rod Villagomez | 20:00–22:28] Colts WR stats: Pittman (111 targets, 808 yds, 3 TDs), Downs (107 targets, 803 yds, 5 TDs), Pierce (69 targets, 824 yds, 7 TDs, 22.3 YPC). [Munaf Manji | 23:59–25:27] Preseason injuries: Pittman (groin), Pierce (foot blister). Pittman ADP ~116; Downs similar; Pierce mostly undrafted. [Rod Villagomez | 25:28–25:46] Pierce and Downs both viable late picks. [Munaf Manji | 25:47–26:23] Jaguars segment opens with Travis Hunter's two-way potential. [Rod Villagomez | 26:24–28:14] Hunter could be more impactful on offense with Brian Thomas Jr., Deami Brown, Parker Washington.

Munaf Manji and Rod Villagomez talk NFL fantasy AFC South position battles. [Munaf Manji | 0:06–0:40] Introduces focus on AFC South, calling it a tough fantasy division but one he knows well as a Texans fan. [Rod Villagomez | 0:40–1:40] Sees the division as building for the future; C.J. Stroud is the main fantasy draw. Mentions hidden Jacksonville talent and early Colts injury concerns. [Munaf Manji | 1:41–2:28] Podcast aims to find deep fantasy values. Notes Anthony Richardson's alarming finger injury. [Rod Villagomez | 2:29–4:06] Injury is dislocated pinky; day-to-day. Reviews limited playing history—4 games rookie year, 11 last year—warning about development setbacks. [Munaf Manji | 4:07–5:41] Colts hoped to compete; Daniel Jones played vs. Ravens (10/21, 144 yds, 0 TDs) in 24–16 preseason loss. [Rod Villagomez | 5:42–7:47] Texans RB depth impacted by Joe Mixon foot injury; Nick Chubb signed. Competition: Chubb, Damian Pierce, Woody Marks, Dare Ogunbowale. [Munaf Manji | 7:48–9:09] Chubb was preseason sleeper; Pierce's workload uncertain. [Rod Villagomez | 9:23–11:16] Pierce's 2023: 40 carries, 293 yds (7.39 YPC); career mostly ~3–4 YPC. Preseason will decide RB2. [Munaf Manji | 11:17–12:23] ADP: Chubb RB47 (~146 overall); Pierce undrafted. Texans open vs. Vikings. [Rod Villagomez | 12:24–15:22] WR2 battle with Tank Dell likely out all season (knee). Christian Kirk, rookies Jaden Higgins & Jalen Noel in mix. Dalton Schultz could finish top-4 TE. [Munaf Manji | 15:23–16:31] WR2 winner offers late-round fantasy value. [Rod Villagomez | 16:32–18:41] Colts QB battle: Richardson vs. Jones. Says it's “now or never” for Jones; Richardson's 2023 was 8 TDs, 12 INTs. [Munaf Manji | 18:42–19:59] Richardson likely starts but Jones worth monitoring on waivers. [Rod Villagomez | 20:00–22:28] Colts WR stats: Pittman (111 targets, 808 yds, 3 TDs), Downs (107 targets, 803 yds, 5 TDs), Pierce (69 targets, 824 yds, 7 TDs, 22.3 YPC). [Munaf Manji | 23:59–25:27] Preseason injuries: Pittman (groin), Pierce (foot blister). Pittman ADP ~116; Downs similar; Pierce mostly undrafted. [Rod Villagomez | 25:28–25:46] Pierce and Downs both viable late picks. [Munaf Manji | 25:47–26:23] Jaguars segment opens with Travis Hunter's two-way potential. [Rod Villagomez | 26:24–28:14] Hunter could be more impactful on offense with Brian Thomas Jr., Deami Brown, Parker Washington. [Munaf Manji | 28:15–29:33] Jaguars lack true WR1; Hunter could fill that role. [Rod Villagomez | 29:34–31:13] RB stats: Etienne (558 yds, 3.7 YPC, 2 TDs) vs. Bixby (766 yds, 4.6 YPC, 7 TDs). [Munaf Manji | 31:13–32:08] Bixby's low ADP makes him strong value. [Rod Villagomez | 32:09–32:46] Bixby could overtake Etienne.

1. Even if this saga ends the way most expect it to (with Micah Parsons staying in Dallas on a market-setting extension), does this make you wonder why Jerry Jones was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame before the late Pat Bowlen and Robert Kraft? 2. If the Cowboys do end up trading Micah Parsons, which of the 31 other NFL teams would you say need his services the most and why? 3. Who would you say has more leverage in contract negotiations between the Commanders and Terry McLaurin? 4. Is this the year the Chiefs passing game re-emerges as one of the NFL's elite?5. Did Sean Payton put a lot of unfair expectations on Bo Nix and the Broncos with his comments?6. If Chris Godwin misses the first few games, can you see Emeka Egbuka emerging as one of Baker Mayfield's top two targets in the passing game and never looking back? 7. Do you believe that the Bengals are helping themselves avoid another slow start by getting Joe Burrow and the starters a healthy dose of snaps during preseason play?8. Panic Meter (Scale of 1-10) -Matthew Stafford's Back-Caleb Williams' up-and-down training camp9. Truth or Exaggeration-Unless Daniel Jones clearly separates himself in the competition, Anthony Richardson will be the starting QB for the Colts Week 1 against the Dolphins-Jakorian Bennett will emerge for the Eagles as the starting boundary CB opposite Quinyon Mitchell, and thus end up being another heist for Howie Roseman -The Raiders will have a top-five scoring offense in 2025-Patriots RB Tre'Veyon Henderson will catch 50+ passes for the Patriots in his rookie year-Matthew Golden will be the Packers clear-cut WR1 by season's end-Travis Hunter is a serious threat to win both OROY and DROY honors-Either the Browns or Saints will have the #1 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft

The Carolina Panthers highlight Bryce Young's value, Chuba Hubbard's underrated RB1 potential, Tet McMillan's rookie WR1 upside with heavy targets, Xavier Leggett's buy-low appeal despite first-round pedigree, and Ja'Tavion Sanders' strong camp. New Orleans Saints focus on the chaotic QB battle among Spencer Rattler, Tyler Shough, and Jake Haener, Alvin Kamara's PPR dominance, Chris Olave's solid WR play, Rashid Shaheed's sneaky WR2 potential in negative game scripts, and cap relief signaling rebuild.

Date: August 6, 2025Hosts: John Arrington, Aaron Wilcox, Andy StarrGuests: None In this episode of the Devy Devotional podcast, the hosts deliver their annual "Hot Takes" edition, offering bold predictions about college football players and their future prospects in the NFL. The trio skips the usual "Guess the Guy" segment to dive deep into their spicy opinions, rated on a Taco Bell sauce scale: Mild, Hot, Fire, and Diablo. The episode blends fun with actionable insights, reflecting on past predictions and unveiling new ones for the 2025 season and beyond.Key HighlightsReflection on Past Takes: The hosts revisit their hot takes from the previous year, highlighting successes like Aaron's call on the 2025 running back class generating hype (e.g., Ashton Jeanty, TreVeyon Henderson) and Eric Singleton Jr. rising to a top-five Devy wide receiver. John's standout prediction of Jordan Tyson surpassing Zachariah Branch earned a Diablo rating and proved prescient, with Tyson now a contender for WR1 in the 2026 class.Hot Takes Galore: Each host shares multiple bold predictions, with reactions ranging from Mild to Diablo based on their spiciness. The spiciest takes are highlighted below as the episode's key moments.Skipped Segment: The "Guess the Guy" segment is postponed to the next episode, giving Aaron a temporary reprieve (though he's back on the hook next week).Spiciest TakesHere are the standout predictions that earned the highest heat ratings:Aaron Wilcox: Kenyon Sadiq (Oregon TE) will be the next tight end to hit 1,000 receiving yards and become the Devy TE1 this season and beyond. Rating: Diablo Why It's Spicy: With a career A-dot of 1.9 yards and competition from Oregon's talented roster (e.g., Dakorien Moore), Sadiq would need a dramatic role change and 120+ receptions to reach 1,000 yards. Aaron argues Sadiq's explosiveness and a revamped Oregon offense (minus Tess Johnson and Terrence Ferguson) make it possible.Andy Starr: Kendrick Raphael (Cal RB) will be a top-three RB in the ACC for PPR points and rush for 1,000 yards. Rating: Diablo Why It's Spicy: Facing competition from ACC standouts like Damond Claiborne and Mark Fletcher, Raphael's lack of elite talent and Cal's middling offense make this a long shot. Andy cites coach Brian Harson's tendency to feed his RB1 as the rationale.Aaron Wilcox: Sawyer Robertson (Baylor QB) will be a first-round pick in the 2026 NFL draft. Rating: Hot to Diablo Why It's Spicy: A Baylor QB breaking into the first round is rare, especially with Robertson's unproven status. Aaron points to his size, mobility, and a potential Cam Ward-like rise, though John doubts his skill justifies it.John Arrington: Jayce Brown (Kansas State WR) will outrank Zachariah Branch, Denzel Boston, Eugene Wilson, Antonio Williams, and Carnell Tate, becoming a top-three Devy WR in the 2026 class. Rating: Hot Why It's Spicy: Beating out established names like Carnell Tate is bold, but Jayce Brown's upside at Kansas State could shine as a junior. John sees him as a sleeper ready to break out.Other Notable TakesJohn Arrington: Denzel Boston will be a day-three NFL draft pick (likely sixth round). (Mild) Consensus ranks him as WR16, but John sees him as overhyped and unlikely to rise beyond day three.Andy Starr: Niko Iamaleava will succeed at UCLA, reclaiming first-round draft pick status. (Hot) A bounce-back season could restore his stock, aided by a new OC and JV and Thomas in the backfield.John Arrington: Zachariah Branch won't declare for the 2026 draft and will transfer again. (Mild to Hot) Still ranked WR17, John predicts another flop at Georgia and a transfer.Aaron Wilcox: Darian Mensah (Duke QB) will be a top-five Devy QB by season's end. (Fire) His G5 success and $8M Duke transfer fuel this bold climb.John Arrington: JV and Thomas will be a top-five RB in the 2026 class. (Fire) John compares him to Bucky Irving, hinting at untapped potential.Closing NotesThe episode wraps with a teaser for future discussions, including Andy's unshared take on Diego Pavia, suggesting more spice to come. The hosts encourage listeners to act on these takes—whether trading for Zion Kearney or snagging Jayce Brown—while blending entertainment with Devy insight.Where to Listen: Subscribe on the Gridiron Ratings YouTube channel, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or find it at DynastyLeagueFootball.com.

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL fantasy Football AFC North. Cincinnati Bengals: Noah Fant joins Mike Gusecki in a deep tight-end room, but Gusecki remains the preferred late-round fantasy option due to existing chemistry with Joe Burrow. Cleveland Browns: With Deshaun Watson re-injuring his Achilles and Joe Flacco (40) leading the depth chart, the quarterback situation remains murky. Shadur Sanders shows promise but needs development. Pittsburgh Steelers: Aaron Rodgers targets DK Metcalf heavily, but the dual-tight-end approach with Pat Friermuth and Jonu Smith makes both fantasy-viable. Baltimore Ravens: DeAndre Hopkins joins Zay Flowers, but Flowers remains the WR1. Derrick Henry anchors the backfield, with Justice Hill as a strong PPR stash. Team context: The episode emphasized how team schemes (like Pittsburgh's two-TE sets and Baltimore's triple-option look) will influence fantasy outcomes.
In this episode of the Dynasty Nerds Dynasty Fantasy Football Podcast, hosts Rich, Matt, Garret, and Jared do the 2025 AFC West dynasty breakdown. They explore the Denver Broncos' revamped offense under Sean Payton, highlighting Bo Nix's dual-threat potential and potential sophomore regression in rushing, alongside JK Dobbins and rookie RJ Harvey competing for backfield touches in a pass-heavy scheme. Evan Engram emerges as a prime tight end target, with Courtland Sutton locked in as the WR1 and young receivers like Marvin Mims Jr., Troy Franklin, and Pat Bryant vying for roles. Shifting to the Kansas City Chiefs, the discussion centers on Patrick Mahomes' efficiency despite lower volume, with Rashee Rice's suspension looming and additions like Xavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown adding speed. Running backs Isaiah Pacheco and rookie Brashard Smith are flagged for upside in Andy Reid's dink-and-dunk system, while Travis Kelce's age prompts questions about Noah Gray's takeover.
