From the hosts of the critically acclaimed podcast The Solis Report — the No. 1 late-night show in fantasy — comes a weekly column, chopping up the week’s news and talkin’ a few trades.
John
Feels good to be back in print here at RotoViz dot com. The Solis Report podcast is back for a second season and the reviews are glowing!
The @SolisReport is one of my favorite podcasts in existence. https://t.co/zRuOLbx3d1

Truly too kind. Hope everyone’s drafts are going well. The football season is actually happening, isn’t it? Sports seemed dead for a minute there.
John
What is dead may never die. A lot going on with roster cuts this weekend, why don’t we jump into some of the news.

Wow, thirty years ago. Congrats to Cris Carter on a Hall of Fame career. Wonder what he’s up to these days.
John
Well, his broadcasting career is keeping him busy, but I hear he’s also developed something of a video game hobby.
Devin
Oh really, what’s his favorite game?
John
That would be Fall Guys! *badumtiss*
Devin
Definitely a must-have.
"Teams have contacted the Dolphins about Josh Rosen."
"No, they didn't."
"No, no, no, they didn't. But you can imagine what it'd be like if they did."

This one hurts. Josh Rosen cut from the Dolphins.
Devin
You were a big supporter. Thought he’d bounce back last year in Miami.
John
On draft day, Rosen said all the teams that passed on him made a mistake — he’s the best QB in the draft.
Devin
Sigh, Baker Mayfield, Sam Darnold, and Josh Allen are turning over in their graves at that one.
John
Oh come on, they’re not all dead yet. Maybe one foot in the grave. Reggie Begelton didn’t survive the Packers cuts last weekend. Former XFL player that had been getting some buzz.

Devin
Yes, and perhaps more surprising, Jake Kumerow got cut after Aaron Rodgers basically had said he was a lock to make the team.
John
Please don’t post your Kumerow tweet. The number of people who read RotoViz and also care about Casey Frey’s rapping is non-zero, but it’s really fucking close to zero.
Devin
Au contraire, John. The people come here for two reasons. To get some sincere fantasy trade advice from yours truly, and to be alienated by shockingly niche jokes at the intersection of fantasy football and pop culture.

John
Well, in that case, you’ve succeeded. Why don’t we move things right along to a segment we like to call:
The McIntyre Report
Devin
Thank you, John. In this segment, we’ll talk some trades, and take a look at some players whose value might be changing. If you have trade questions, send ‘em in! Hit us up on twitter @devinmci and @solisreport — we crave that sweet sweet engagement.
This wouldn’t be the McIntyre Report if our first undervalued player wasn’t Jalen Richard.
