Pierced Tongues (guest: Matthew Freedman)

The 2022 NFL season is underway, and host Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF) welcomes in FantasyPros and BettingPros content director Matthew Freedman (@MattFTheOracle) to get his takes from the first week of games. Pat and Matt discuss whether they’re revised their Super Bowl predictions after a single week and whether Week 1 comes with a sense of dread because of all the things we realize we’ve gotten wrong. With Cooper Kupp, Ja’Marr Chase, Justin Jefferson, Stefon Diggs, and Davante Adams all going off in Week 1, would this have been a good year to start WR-WR in drafts?  Does Matt regret having ranked Christian McCaffrey ahead of Jonathan Taylor? Is the Patriots’ offense a lost cause? Should we be less enthusiastic about Trey Lance or Dameon Pierce after just one week? Matt and Pat offer answers. Matt and Pat discuss their 15-hour round-trip drive to Canton, Ohio, for the Fantasy Football Expo, the qualifications for a great dive bar, and why Freedman has given up alcohol and dessert for the football season. (Note: Pat hasn’t.) They also discuss the Jaguars’ and Rams’ RB situations, the value of Cordarrelle Patterson, Drake London, Jahan Dotson, A.J. Brown, Jalen Hurts, and more.
