The Throwback: A show about fantasy football

Opening up the Vault and Looking Into the Week 2 Crystal Ball

Listen on

Episode notes

Nando, Jake and Moody had so much fun peering into the crystal ball last week that they decided to run it back for Week 2. Will Nyheim Hines or A.J. Green have more receptions? Will Adrian Peterson or James Robinson rack up more yards from scrimmage? Which former Iowa tight end will have more receiving yards this week: T.J. Hockenson or Noah Fant? Jake and Moody answer all those questions, and more. Plus, Nando wraps up the show with a screwball game of Would You Rather?
