49ers Crush Rams & What's Freaking Us Out For Week 1

49ers Crush Rams & What's Freaking Us Out For Week 1

Author: HarrisFootball.com September 11, 2026 Duration: 59:29

Is your mind palace shattered yet? Two games in, and we already have to reassess what some of these "great" teams actually are. The Niners destroyed the Rams Thursday night, and in particular that vaunted L.A. defense looked super-mortal. We'll try and draw some conclusions by watching the game film, we'll review the injury news that matters for Week 1, and then we'll take one final long look at the football uncertainty this weekend holds, and we'll describe the things that are freaking us out for fantasy football! Guest: Jim McCormick.

For anyone tired of fantasy football advice that feels like it's just repackaging the same stats and headlines, the Harris Fantasy Football Podcast offers a different path. Hosted by Christopher Harris of HarrisFootball.com, this show is built on a simple, labor-intensive premise: ignoring the box score to actually watch the game film. The conversations you'll hear are born from that tape study, moving beyond superficial numbers to discuss how players are really being used, what the schemes reveal, and which performances are sustainable or due for change. It’s a process focused on understanding the "why" behind the results, whether dissecting a rookie's route-running or a veteran's changing role. This approach informs every episode, aiming to provide actionable insights that help you build a more resilient roster from your draft through the playoff push. The goal isn't just to offer weekly waiver wire names, but to foster a smarter, more nuanced way of thinking about player evaluation and team management throughout the entire NFL season. Tune in for a detailed, film-driven perspective that cuts through the noise of the fantasy football industry.
