Week 1 is in the books, and host Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF) sifts through the results with this week’s guest, Eric Moody of The Athletic (@EricNMoody). Eric and Pat reflect on the surreal effect of NFL games in mostly empty stadiums, Dante Adams’ destruction of a suddenly feeble Minnesota pass defense, Jonathan Taylor’s injury-aided ascension to a lead role in Indianapolis, Cam Newton’s run-heavy debut with the Patriots, Robby Anderson’s meaty Week 1 role in Carolina, and more.

Is this the year Seahawks head coach Peter Carroll and offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer finally let Russ cook? Eric and Pat discuss Russell Wilson’s Week 1 feast and the possibility of more delicacies to come. Is Russell Gage worth a waiver claim? What about James Robinson? Eric talks about his family’s new German Shepard and his son’s first foray into fantasy football, then expresses his enthusiasm for Joshua Kelley and Zach Moss. Eric and Pat close the show with thoughts on Adrian Peterson, Kerryon Johnson, Rob Gronkowski, O.J. Howard, Tom Brady and Christian Kirk.
