This week’s show mixes the celebratory with the somber. It’s the 100th episode of Fitz on Fantasy, and host Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF) marks the occasion by welcoming in his producer, Colm Kelly (@OvertimeIreland) as a guest. Unfortunately, Week 2 was marred by an extraordinarily large outbreak of major injuries. Colm and Pat sift through the fallout, examining the fantasy repercussions of injuries to Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley, Courtland Sutton, Will Fuller and others. Colm and Pat also take a closer look at some of the running backs who were popular waiver wire claims after Week 1 but disappointed us in Week 2: Malcolm Brown, Benny Snell and Nyheim Hines. Is it Darrell Henderson’s time to shine for the Rams? Is James Conner a hold or a Snell? And what did Colm and Pat think of Jonathan Taylor’s first NFL start?

With this being an anniversary episode, Pat talks about the genesis of the podcast and how Colm offered his producer services at just the right time. Colm also explains how a nice boy from Ireland wound up falling in love with a roguish American sport. Pat and Colm then discuss Justin Herbert’s NFL debut, Joshua Kelley’s fantasy value, Josh Allen’s outlook, Laviska Shenault’s undeniable appeal and more.
