Replacements-Level Talent (guest: Andy Behrens)

Host Pat Fitzmaurice @Fitz_FF) welcomes in fellow Chicagoan Andy Behrens (@andybehrens) of Yahoo Fantasy, and of course the conversation begins with a little Bears talk. After some nightmarish performances, should we be concerned about Justin Fields’ long-term future? And is rookie RB Khalil Herbert good enough to have a significant role in the Chicago offense once David Montgomery returns from injury? The NFL declared Sunday of Week 7 to be National Tight Ends Day, and there were some newsworthy TE performances. Is Kyle Pitts good enough to pass Travis Kelce to become the TE1 for 2022 fantasy drafts? What’s the outlook for Zach Ertz in Arizona? How should fantasy managers feel about George Kittle and T.J. Hockenson going forward? 

Andy talks about being a superfan of the band The Replacements in the late ’80s, and he and Pat discuss the band, its legacy and some of its best songs. At this year’s King’s Classic at the Fantasy Football Expo in Canton, Ohio, Andy drafted a team that was widely panned by Sirius XM Fantasy Channel hosts and Twitter critics alike. Who’s on that team and how is it doing? Andy tells all. Andy and Pat also discuss Leonard Fournette, Chase Claypool, Michael Gallup and Tua Tagovailoa.
