CMC-ing Is Believing (guest: Lauren Carpenter)

As always, Dr. Deepak Chona (@SportMDAnalysis) kicks off the show by providing injury updates after an especially bad week of NFL injuries. Then, host Pat Fitzmaurice (@Fitz_FF) welcomes in Lauren Carpenter (@stepmomlauren), a contributor to FantasyPros, FTN, NBC Sports Edge, and the Fantasy Footballers. Lauren and Pat discuss the trade that sent Christian McCaffrey to the 49ers. How much does it help CMC, who else on the 49ers benefits from a fantasy perspective, and how should we read the new-look Carolina backfield? Lauren and Pat also sift through the injury fallout in the wake of Jets RB Breece Hall’s torn ACL and injuries to D.K. Metcalf, Mike Williams, and others.

Lauren and Pat talk about Halloween, horror movies, what Lauren is drinking on her Wine’d Up Wednesdays live streams, and competing with her husband in fantasy leagues. Is the real DeAndre Hopkins back? Is Joe Burrow better than Justin Herbert? Should we be worried about Jonathan Taylor? And what’s wrong with Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay offense? Lauren and Pat tackle those questions, and Lauren talks about some of her biggest hits and misses from 2022 drafts.
