Fantasy Football Today is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts, Stitcher and wherever else you listen to podcasts. Good luck coming up with projections for Kadarius Toney, Khalil Herbert and Anthony Richardson. Those are three of the players we'll talk about today, but let's start with Deshaun Watson (5:00). Can he bounce back to his superstar form? Will he throw enough? And we've got some news and notes (14:25) on the Vikings backfield and receiving corps ... Anthony Richardson is tough to project (20:10) as we try to compare him to Jalen Hurts coming out of college. We also talk about why Rhamondre Stevenson (26:00), J.K.

At wide receiver, Heath has trouble projecting Kadarius Toney (44:15), Calvin Ridley (47:30) and Rashod Bateman (51:00).
