Chat with John Daigle 8-25-21 Aug 26, 2021

Show notes

The Sony Michel trade altered the outlook for RBs in both L.A. and New England. Travis Etienne's season-ending foot injury shot James Robinson up draft boards. We're starting this episode by breaking down both situations, and we brought in John Daigle of NBC Sports Edge to help. We're also digging into what the playing time and usage numbers through 2 weeks of preseason contests should mean for your fantasy football drafting as the regular season approaches.
