Greg is joined by Salvatore Stefanile (@2QBFFB) to reignite the 2QB Experience podcast and address the state of the two-quarterback fantasy football universe. They start with some general thoughts about how to approach 2QB and Superflex waiver wires when there are so many new starters available in the wake of injuries and benchings to Nick Foles, Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger, Sam Darnold, Eli Manning, and Cam Newton. Then they speculate about which current starters could potentially lose their jobs later this season. Next, Sal profiles Gardner Minshew for fantasy (while wondering how he might look in a No Fear T-shirt), and that kicks off an attempt to rank all the new NFL starters for the rest of this season. Greg makes the case for Mason Rudolph, Sal makes the case for Taysom Hill, then both your hosts wonder if the startability and upside of Daniel Jones are being slept on by the fantasy community at large. The show winds down with a couple listener questions from Twitter and a bit of non-football nonsense, including some #taeks on Hollywood's obsession with remakes, reboots, and sequels.
