Munaf Manji and Rod Villagomez talk NFL fantasy AFC South position battles.
[Munaf Manji |
Introduces focus on AFC South, calling it a tough fantasy division but one he knows well as a Texans fan.
[Rod Villagomez |
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 |
Podcast aims to find deep fantasy values. Notes Anthony Richardson’s alarming finger injury.
[Rod Villagomez |
Injury is dislocated pinky; day-to-day. Reviews limited playing history—4 games rookie year, 11 last year—warning about development setbacks.
[Munaf Manji |
Colts hoped to compete; Daniel Jones played vs. Ravens (10/21, 144 yds, 0 TDs) in 24–16 preseason loss.
[Rod Villagomez |
Texans RB depth impacted by Joe Mixon foot injury; Nick Chubb signed. Competition: Chubb, Damian Pierce, Woody Marks, Dare Ogunbowale.
[Munaf Manji |
Chubb was preseason sleeper; Pierce’s workload uncertain.
[Rod Villagomez |
Pierce’s 2023: 40 carries, 293 yds (7.39 YPC); career mostly ~3–4 YPC. Preseason will decide RB2.
[Munaf Manji |
ADP: Chubb RB47 (~146 overall); Pierce undrafted. Texans open vs. Vikings.
[Rod Villagomez |
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 |
WR2 winner offers late-round fantasy value.
[Rod Villagomez |
Colts QB battle: Richardson vs. Jones. Says it’s “now or never” for Jones; Richardson’s 2023 was 8 TDs, 12 INTs.
[Munaf Manji |
Richardson likely starts but Jones worth monitoring on waivers.
[Rod Villagomez |
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 |
Preseason injuries: Pittman (groin), Pierce (foot blister). Pittman ADP ~116; Downs similar; Pierce mostly undrafted.
[Rod Villagomez |
Pierce and Downs both viable late picks.
[Munaf Manji |
Jaguars segment opens with Travis Hunter’s two-way potential.
[Rod Villagomez |
Hunter could be more impactful on offense with Brian Thomas Jr., Deami Brown, Parker Washington.
[Munaf Manji |
Jaguars lack true WR1; Hunter could fill that role.
[Rod Villagomez |
RB stats: Etienne (558 yds, 3.7 YPC, 2 TDs) vs. Bixby (766 yds, 4.6 YPC, 7 TDs).
[Munaf Manji |
Bixby’s low ADP makes him strong value.
[Rod Villagomez |
Bixby could overtake Etienne.
[Munaf Manji |
TE battle: 7 contenders; Brenton Strange (411 yds, 2 TDs) is TE1.
[Rod Villagomez |
153 vacated targets could elevate Strange. Cohen’s offense favors TE usage.
[Munaf Manji |
Strange could finish TE9–TE12; late-round flex candidate.
[Rod Villagomez & Munaf Manji |
Titans have no major battles. QB Cam Ward locked in; Pollard RB1 (1,000 yds, 4.2 YPC, 57 targets, 238 rec yds). WRs Ridley, Lockett, Jefferson set; TE Chig Okonkwo has upside.
[Rod Villagomez |
Closes with preseason game list and fantasy prep reminder.
