Rankings Risers & Fallers + Trade Candidates: Week 2 (Ep. 553)

We're joined by fantasy sports OG, Brandon Funston of The Athletic! We kick things off by recapping both Monday night games and offering our thoughts on the state of the Steelers' backfield (3:47). How do we feel about Malcolm Brown moving forward (20:47), is Christian Kirk (40:04) worth rostering anymore, and should fantasy managers test the waters and shop Cam Newton (57:59) after his strong performance? The show concludes with a couple mailbag questions and one revolves around whether Kareem Hunt and Nick Chubb (1:02:27) are destined to be a part of a 50/50 timeshare in Cleveland.
