Podcasts about wr2

Joe Burrow is elite with two elite wide receivers. Lamar Jackson and the Ravens have Zay Flowers (meh), Aaron Rodgers has a great WR2 in DK Metcalf, but definitely needs weapons. Is Jerry Jeudy the answer for whomever the Browns QB may be? The 2026 draft is deep at the WR position and the AFC North teams will take their share come April at the 2026 NFL Draft in Pittsburgh.

February brings offseason roster management decisions, and Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price break down the wide receivers to target and which studs to flip before values decline. From identifying alpha receivers to recognizing injury red flags, these moves could define your 2026 championship window. Ricky Pearsall sits at WR26 despite becoming the last receiver standing in San Francisco with Jauan Jennings likely leaving and George Kittle recovering from an Achilles injury. Alec Pierce finished WR28 despite Indianapolis dysfunction, and free agency could elevate him to a mid range WR2 if Michael Pittman gets cut. Zay Flowers finished WR7 or WR12 depending on format, and Declan Doyle's arrival from Ben Johnson's coaching tree should increase Baltimore's pass volume dramatically.

We wrap the NFC divisions with NFC West Trinity (Episode 5)—breaking down every team's fantasy environment heading into free agency using the Trinity Tracker on ddfantasyfootball.com. We start in Arizona with the big questions (QB play, new OC, and the Marvin Harrison Jr. vs Michael Wilson market gap), then hit the Rams' concentrated offense and why their tight end room is still a trap. We finish with Seattle's post-title outlook (JSN at the top, what to do with the WR2 chatter) and San Francisco's wide-open pass-catcher room where Ricky Pearsall sits in a prime environment if he can stay on the field.

Send a textThe kind of football that makes Pittsburgh feel like Pittsburgh isn't an accident—it's a choice. We open the playbook on what defines the Steelers now: the city's unmatched stadium atmosphere on the North Shore, the legends who set the bar, and the decisions that could turn a short window into a serious run. From the animated Mount Rushmore debate to reliving Polamalu's chaos and Hines Ward's grin-through-the-hit toughness, we map the DNA that still drives this team.Then we get current and honest. Mike McCarthy's hire lands with mixed energy—some want a long-haul architect, others see a proven leader who understands Pittsburgh's culture and knows how to assemble a staff. Bridge coach or not, the task is clear: pick a quarterback path and build hard around it. We lean into the Rodgers question—one more year of elite processing and on-field coaching—or hand the keys to Will Howard and commit to development. Either way, the roster must match the vision.That's where the draft and free agency come into focus. Wide receiver is priority one: a WR2 who separates, wins late in the route, and stretches safeties. We talk names, traits, and how a true vertical threat reshapes the offense. From there, we zero in on tackle depth to keep the quarterback upright and a secondary upgrade to survive a league engineered for points. And yes, we tackle the TJ Watt question head-on—what loyalty, value, and timing mean when your best players carry big contracts and bigger expectations.If you love real Steelers talk—stadium lore, coaching nuance, cap realities, and a draft board that actually fits the scheme—you'll feel at home here.

The NFL does not rig games, the Steelers just played poorly. Aaron Rodgers had Adam Thielen wide open underneath on the 4th and 1, but he threw a go ball to Scotty Miller instead. The Steelers probably would have won yesterday if DK Metcalf played. The Steelers also could have prevented this situation by adding a real WR2 at the trade deadline. PM Team Professors.

Smith's Sayings – What did Arthur Smith say to the media today? KDKA TV's Bob Pompeani joined the show. Did the Steelers make a mistake trading George Pickens? Bob said they are still chasing their WR2 spot. When is the last time Bob did a shot? Bob gives Aaron Rodgers a 6.5/10 right now, with Mason Rudolph right behind at 6/10. Is TJ Watt playing up to his contract so far? Bob is afraid about what Caleb Williams can bring to the table on Sunday, but expects a one-score game. Power Rankings – Top 5 SNL cast members.

Ray Fittpaldo of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette joins Jacob and Ed to discuss the offense struggles due to the lack of a WR2,  the signing of Asante Samuel Jr, and  how the team plans on having a better performance against JaMarr Chase and Tee Higgins compared to when the teams first played each other this season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Nick Farabaugh joins to discuss his memories of Juan Thornhill, his concern with Aaron Rodgers, did Sunday night show the need for a WR2, the decision to move on from George Pickens, Jaylen Warren's usage. 

Nick Farabaugh joins to discuss his memories of Juan Thornhill, his concern with Aaron Rodgers, did Sunday night show the need for a WR2, the decision to move on from George Pickens, Jaylen Warren's usage.  We remember Juan Thornhill. What should be asked of Mike Tomlin today? His comments of Rodgers were curious the other night. 

Happy Veterans Day. A man named Sean (or Shawn) joins to discuss his unexpected meeting with Ron Cook. Ron is living his best life. Could the Steelers actually move on from Mike Tomlin? If he lost out, he'd still be back in 2026. We react to Rich Eisen and Mark Kaboly's comments on the topic. Is it the beginning of the end for Aaron Rodgers? Are the Giants a real possibility for Tomlin? No team in the NFL would sign up for Tomlin if they were told they wouldn't win a playoff game in 8+ years. Other NFL teams have moved on from heralded coaches and sometimes it's been a good move. Calls on the Tomlin debate. It gets heated with Rob in West Mifflin. Nick Farabaugh joins to discuss his memories of Juan Thornhill, his concern with Aaron Rodgers, did Sunday night show the need for a WR2, the decision to move on from George Pickens, Jaylen Warren's usage. We remember Juan Thornhill. What should be asked of Mike Tomlin today? His comments of Rodgers were curious the other night. Mike Tomlin press conference. He had a curious response to another question about Rodgers. Brian Batko joins to react to Tomlin's dodging of Aaron Rodgers questions, his thoughts on Rodgers and if this could be the start of the end, Brian recaps his enjoyable trip to LA, his thoughts on the Ron Cook update, moving on from Juan Thornhill and the addition of Castro. Brian Batko remains to discuss the Steelers puzzling usage of Jaylen Warren, MVS, TJ Watt's production and the pass rush, the state of the secondary. Erik Karlsson has been playing drastically better this year, seemingly because of the coaching change. What can the Steelers learn from this? A couple of basketball legends have passed recently

There is a conspiracy theory floating around that Art Rooney II ‘blocked' any trade the Steelers could have made to save draft picks for next April when the event takes place in Pittsburgh. The Steelers are projected to have up to 12 selections that weekend and the owner may feel like holding onto the capital is the best move. Do we think there is anything to this? Former MLB pitcher Matt Clement joined the show. Matt came hot out of the gate talking Pirates free agency, saying his first call would be to JT Realmuto and that they should offer him a 3-year deal. Matt didn't put any blame on Isiah Kiner-Falefa for his baserunning gaffe in Game 7. He added thoughts on some of the other events in the game. How much did he enjoy the final game of the season? Mike Florio from Pro Football Talk joined the show. Mike said the Steelers should throw away the ugly throwbacks they wore on Sunday Night Football. The guys had Mike react to the trade deadline and the lack of moves from the Steelers yesterday for players like Jakobi Meyers or Rashid Shaheed. Mike doesn't buy into the conspiracy theory that Art Rooney II prevented the front office from making moves. What does he think of Marquez Valdes-Scantling, who will stand as the Steelers lone WR move? Mike was surprised they didn't acquire Allen Lazard since the Jets were undergoing a fire sale. Mike doesn't think there should be regret in dealing George Pickens even if they failed to fill that WR2 void. Mike isn't ready to consider the Steelers a serious contender – he said their season comes down to fending off the Ravens. Poni threw out a few QBs that could be available for the Steelers in 2026 if Aaron Rodgers retires after the season. Mike believes Kyler Murray will be available and will possibly get cut by the Cardinals before we enter the offseason. Mike described the YouTube TV feud with Disney/ESPN as ‘unfortunate' because it continues to make things more difficult for the consumer. Mike said if they ‘gave a crap' about the customers, they would resolve this before they do anything else, but there is too much ego coming from the top. Mike said the NFL is powerful enough that they can settle this problem if they really wanted to – saying it's ‘curious' that the league is standing on the sidelines here.

In this trade deadline edition of the show, we break down the Seahawks' acquisition of wide receiver Rashid Shaheed from the New Orleans Saints. The Seahawks give up a 2026 fourth and fifth-round pick to make the deal. Is the compensation is worth the immediate impact Shaheed will have on the team and the potential benefits for the Seahawks' offense? We talk about how this move helps address the lack of a dynamic WR2 while also providing insurance for the team's injuries. Beyond the trade, we look at how the Seahawks stand out among the NFC's top teams and their chances of going deep into the postseason. But could they have done more? We get into all of it and more!

The Seattle Seahawks cruised to a 38-14 victory over the Washington Commanders in front of a national audience on Sunday night. The gruesome injury late in the game to Jayden Daniels soured the win and we hope Ernest Jones and Josh Jobe come out of the game ok for our Seahawks. Sam Darnold was on point for Seattle and Jaxon Smith-Njigba continued to dominate, supported by a well-balanced offense orchestrated by Klint Kubiak. The defense stifled Washington's offense and controlled the game from start to finish. Mike Macdonald made the right call on defense with Devon Witherspoon and Josh Jobe getting the start and Nick Emmanwori demonstrating why he should never be on the bench. Without Cooper Kupp on the field, Tory Horton hauled in a couple touchdowns to make his case for future WR2 on the team and Cody White jumped up from the practice squad to add a long touchdown of his own.

Mike Florio joins the show! Aaron Rodgers will be going against the Green Bay Packers this weekend. What should we expect from Rodgers against his old team? Could Rodgers come back for one more year with the Steelers? There are still some big names available in the trade market for wide receivers. Could the Steelers look into any of them for a true WR2?

On the Tuesday episode of the North Shore Drive podcast, presented by FanDuel, host Noah Hiles welcomes Post-Gazette Steelers insider Ray Fittipaldo to talk about Aaron Rodgers as he prepares to face his former team this week. Is the veteran QB ready for the challenge of taking down the Green Bay Packers in NFL Week 8 at Acrisure Stadium? What will he have to say about his first game as a Packers opponent? Will his comments be similar or different than they were in the lead-up to the NFL Week 1 matchup with the New York Jets, who cut him this offseason? And how will others including coach Mike Tomlin and players like DK Metcalf, T.J. Watt, Cam Heyward, Jalen Ramsey and Patrick Queen approach the situation? Our duo tackles those questions, then tight end usage within OC Arthur Smith's offense. How can names like Pat Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington repeat their NFL Week 7 success against the Cincinnati Bengals? And can Rodgers continue to get the ball to Freiermuth in particular for big numbers in the absence of serious WR2 options behind DK Metcalf? Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Things Discussed: RIP Zia Combs. Wink shit. Brian and I are done. Is it coaching or players? I say coaching, because there's no point in running the stuff, even if it's good stuff, if you don't have the coaching points down, and the #1 coaching points are not in. They're going to have to simplify, stick to some basics until they can run all of this stuff. Hillman: Unplayable at this bust rate, but too good of a player to not coach the bust rate out of him. Players going off-script? If it's seniors you gotta ask why they think they have to. Wink Shit: Never drops a DT into a screen. Plays three DTs. Expected long passing and got short. Had no way to defend power. It was all so easy; the only thing that stopped USC was a bad call and 2 redzone turnovers. Worst coaching performance since Rich Rod made Greg Robinson go 3-3-5 vs Purdue in 2009. Offense is young but you can see what they'll look like post-mistakes. Found a WR2 in Marsh, might want to try some max-pro to get BU confident.

Mike and Abe come back with more Falcons talk as they react to reports of not seeing Ray-Ray McCloud at practice coming off the heels of being a healthy scratch just ahead of Monday night's matchup with the Bills. As they discuss, they share thoughts on whether or not McCloud is missing his opportunity to step in as WR2 as they speculate as to why the wide receiver has been MIA. They then discuss the Falcons matchup with the 49ers and share thoughts on whether or not Christian McCaffrey is as much of a threat as he was during his days in Carolina.

Matt Harmon is joined by the great Ray Garvin (checking in from sunny Florida0 for your weekly Wednesday Data Dump. Together, they break down 10 key stats to help you prepare for Week 7.They start off with in-depth look at the Kansas City Chiefs offense, where Patrick Mahomes has reclaimed the QB1 spot in fantasy thanks to improved downfield passing thanks to Xavier Worthy and the impending return of Rashee Rice. Matt and Ray discuss whether Mahomes' resurgence and the Chiefs' evolving receiver situation represent a quiet turning point for fantasy managers and what expectations should be for Rice fresh off a suspension.Next, the conversation turns to breakout wide receivers, with George Pickens thriving as Dallas Cowboys' WR2-turned-WR1 and the impact on his production when CeeDee Lamb returns. Drake London's massive target share and fantasy explosion for the Atlanta Falcons are also highlighted, sparking debate over whether his triple crown potential and slot usage will continue in a run-heavy offense feasting on an explosive Bijan Robinson season.The guys also dive into the rookie running back landscape, debating whether New York Giants' Cam Skattebo is the top rookie RB, how his bruising style is powering fantasy lineups, and who else (maybe Cleveland Browns' Quinshon Judkins?) can challenge for the title given strong upcoming matchups. They also talk about Los Angeles Chargers rookie tight end Oronde Gadsden, New Orleans Saints WR Chris Olave and whether it's time to give up on Cleveland Browns WR Jerry Jeudy.Closing out the show, Matt & Ray dive into the 5 most cut players from Guillotine League rosters in Week 6.

The Boston Red Sox are out of the playoffs after another painful October exit, and the New England Patriots just flipped the AFC conversation with a dramatic 23-20 Monday Night Football win in Buffalo. Rayshawn and Mike go all in on both stories, giving you the most detailed breakdown of where Boston sports stand and what comes next. We open with the Red Sox collapse against the New York Yankees, dissecting every mistake and missed opportunity. Game 2 was defined by defensive breakdowns and costly fielding errors that flipped momentum. Boston’s lineup struck out 12 times in the clincher, exposing a top-heavy order that couldn’t produce in clutch moments. Garrett Crochet gave the team a chance on the mound, but questionable bullpen decisions — including Connelly Early’s quick hook — raised eyebrows. We debate whether the Rafael Devers trade, made to reshape the lineup, ended up hurting the team in this short series, and what it says about Boston’s long-term strategy. Then we take on the Alex Cora question head-on. Is he still the right manager to lead this roster forward, or is a reset overdue? From there, we map out a full offseason blueprint. Boston needs more than tweaks — they need cornerstone moves. We spotlight free-agent and trade targets like Kyle Tucker, Kyle Schwarber, and Pete Alonso, each of whom would immediately transform the lineup’s power and consistency. We also break down key internal decisions: how Jarren Duran’s speed and upside factor into their future plans, whether Wilyer Abreu should be part of the team’s core or trade bait, and how Trevor Story’s health and defense could stabilize the infield. We discuss why Roman Anthony’s development is crucial and why the bullpen must be rebuilt with reliable depth and a clear closer to anchor late-inning leads. The Red Sox can’t afford another “bridge year.” This offseason must be aggressive, decisive, and focused on competing in 2026. Then we shift to football, where Drake Maye’s breakout game has the Patriots fan base buzzing. In just his fifth career start, Maye went toe-to-toe with Josh Allen and came out on top, delivering clutch throws in high-pressure moments and showing major growth in pocket presence and decision-making. Stefon Diggs proved why he’s still a top-tier wide receiver, posting another 100-yard performance and opening up the offense for others. Hunter Henry continues to shine as a reliable red-zone weapon, while rookie running back Treyvion Henderson showed why he could become a cornerstone piece of the offense. We break down how offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels has adjusted the scheme around Maye’s strengths and what that means for the rest of the season. Looking ahead, we discuss how New England must take advantage of Maye’s rookie contract window, why finding a legitimate WR2 is a top priority, and which players — like A.J. Brown or Chris Olave — could be ideal trade or free-agent targets. We also preview the Week 6 matchup against the New Orleans Saints, a classic trap game that could derail the team’s momentum if they’re not prepared. With a young franchise quarterback, an elite receiver, and a defense that can still compete, the Patriots are building something real — and this win in Buffalo could be the moment that turns their season around.

Mike Vallerie (@FF_DirtyMike) and Cory Pereira (@FF_Guitarist) take a look at the trends through the first 2.5 weeks of college football to pinpoint some potential risers & fallers. Are we worried about DJ Lagway? How high are we ranking Kewan Lacy? Is Germie Bernard the new favorite for WR2 in the 2026 class? We'll also discuss new names to the radar and what we want to see through the next couple weeks.

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL fantasy football for week 1 Week one of the NFL season is here, and fantasy football owners are facing those familiar flex spot dilemmas that often decide championships. Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji dive deep into the most pressing start-sit questions, breaking down wide receiver matchups, running back depth charts, and how injuries shape early lineups . The discussion opens with Cooper Kupp's sharp decline and Ricky Pearsall's rise as San Francisco's surprise weapon. With Brandon Aiyuk banged up and Deebo Samuel absent, Purdy's chemistry with Pearsall makes him the stronger play, especially compared to Kupp adapting to a new offense in Seattle. Munaf reinforces the point, stressing that Pearsall's end-of-season surge and target share translate into legitimate WR2 or flex value. The pair even rank Pearsall above Calvin Ridley in week one, given Ridley's tough matchup against Denver's shutdown corner Patrick Surtain . The show then pivots to DJ Moore versus DK Metcalf. Moore's chemistry with Caleb Williams and strong history against Minnesota stand out, but the allure of Aaron Rodgers throwing deep to Metcalf lingers. Ultimately, both agree that Moore offers the safer floor, while Metcalf is a gamble for owners already trailing after Thursday night. That tension between security and upside is exactly what makes these early-season choices agonizing . Next, they spotlight Mika Yubikei, Tampa Bay's rookie wideout, thrust into action with Chris Godwin sidelined. With Mike Evans drawing top coverage, Yubikei could quietly pile up targets against Atlanta, especially if Baker Mayfield is forced into a shootout. Both Rod and Munaf lean toward starting him, seeing opportunity in volume and game script . Running back depth is another theme. The uncertainty around Christian McCaffrey's calf injury leaves Isaac Guerendo and Brian Robinson Jr. as next-man-up options. Shanahan's system historically leans on multiple backs, and Robinson's signing signals trust. Owners who handcuffed correctly may be rewarded right away. Meanwhile, the hosts debate Cortland Sutton versus Tyrone Tracy Jr. The Broncos receiver brings talent but faces Tennessee's elite pass defense, while Tracy benefits from Washington's leaky run defense. Both lean Tracy, siding with matchup over pedigree . They also tackle Garrett Wilson's value under Justin Fields. Despite quarterback inconsistency, Wilson's target volume makes him hard to bench. Comparing him to Sutton, Munaf sides with Wilson, highlighting how opportunity can outweigh efficiency. Another big-name dilemma: Stefan Diggs versus Jauan Jennings. Diggs, now in New England, offers veteran stability for Drake May, while Jennings is a tertiary option in San Francisco's crowded offense. Both analysts see Diggs as the better play, predicting a potential bounce-back year . The show closes on Austin Ekeler versus Nick Chubb. Ekeler brings dual-threat ability but declining efficiency, while Chubb returns from injury with questions about workload. Rod admits he already benched Ekeler in one league for Chubb, preferring the steadier ground game. They stress that early weeks often spark overreactions, but data on snap counts and usage will soon clarify future decisions. Flex spots may not be glamorous, but as the hosts remind listeners, they swing weekly outcomes and, ultimately, titles . In the end, this week one preview isn't just about names—it's about context, matchups, and opportunity. From Pearsall's emergence in San Francisco to Tracy's rushing upside in New York, the nuances matter. Owners who weigh talent against defensive strength, who balance floor and ceiling, will position themselves for early-season wins. And as always, championships are decided in the margins, in those tricky flex calls that define Sunday glory. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji talk NFL fantasy football AFC east position battles. The AFC East may not boast the flashiest fantasy options, but its positional battles could provide league-winning value for savvy managers. Hosts Munaf Manji and Rod Villagomez dissected the division's key situations with a focus on deep-league stashes and late-round upside. In Buffalo, James Cook remains the lead back after averaging 4.9 yards per carry and scoring 18 touchdowns, but Munaf and Rod spotlighted Ray Davis, who logged 478 rushing and 189 receiving yards with six total touchdowns, as the preferred backup over Ty Johnson. The Bills' receiver room also offers intrigue: Khalil Shakir led with 120 targets for 995 yards and four touchdowns, but Keon Coleman, who had 578 yards and four scores as a rookie, was pegged for a breakout as he battles newcomer Joshua Palmer for the WR2 role. For Miami, the tight end room is unsettled after Jonnu Smith's departure, creating opportunities for Darren Waller, Pharaoh Brown or Julian Hill. At receiver, Munaf pushed Nick Westbrook-Akene, who tallied 497 yards and nine touchdowns on 60 targets, as a touchdown-dependent but intriguing flex option over Malik Washington, who managed 223 yards on 36 targets. In New York, the focus shifted to the WR3 battle between veteran Alan Lazard, who had 530 yards and six touchdowns, and rookie Arian Smith, a dynamic Georgia product with 817 collegiate yards and four touchdowns. Both hosts leaned toward Smith for long-term value while framing Justin Fields' season as a redemption tour in a relatively low-pressure environment, making him a viable QB2 with upside. In New England, Ramondre Stevenson's 14 career fumbles, half of which came last season, put him on thin ice, opening the door for rookie Trevion Henderson, a second-round pick from Ohio State, to carve out a meaningful role. Demario Douglas led Patriots receivers with 621 yards, but Munaf identified 6'4” veteran Mac Hollins, who scored five touchdowns last season, as a sneaky red-zone threat and deep sleeper, particularly if Stefon Diggs needs time to recover from his ACL injury. The episode concluded with a shared philosophy: these AFC East names may not headline drafts, but they are exactly the types of players who become early-season waiver-wire priorities. Drafting them late provides a strategic edge, especially in deeper leagues or superflex formats where depth and upside separate contenders from pretenders. As Munaf put it, these are the players “you might as well just pick up and hope for the best.” This breakdown of Buffalo's backfield, Miami's receiving depth, the Jets' WR3 competition, and New England's RB and WR rooms offers actionable insights for managers looking to squeeze value from one of the NFL's less-heralded divisions.
