The 2025 NFL season is heating up, and Week 2 delivered the first real test of who’s for real and who’s still finding their identity. In this episode of First Read: The Film and Analytics Podcast, Brett Whitefield (Fantasy Points CEO) and Joe Marino cut through the noise to deliver sharp, data-driven insights you won’t hear anywhere else.
The show kicks off with why Week 2 matters more than Week 1, spotlighting teams like the Jaguars, Vikings, Colts, and Bears who remain tough to evaluate. From there, Brett and Joe dive into the Chicago Bears Mount Rushmore since 1990 debating Brian Urlacher, Lance Briggs, Devin Hester, and Olin Kreutz, while weighing names like Charles Tillman and Matt Forte.
The conversation shifts to coaching and team management, where the line between toughness and stubbornness can define a season, and a forward-looking discussion on quarterback value in today’s market. Should teams pay $50M for “good, not great” QBs or invest in elite defenders like Micah Parsons instead?
Finally, the guys hit rapid-fire buy/sell calls: Colts as AFC South contenders, the Panthers chasing the 2026 No. 1 pick, Bengals’ playoff hopes, and the resilient Chiefs.
