Nate Tice is joined by Matt Harmon to look back at a few of their takes from before the season started and decide whether to stay, fold or double down after two weeks of NFL action.

Nate and Matt wrap up the show with a rookie wide receiver check-in as they evaluate the performances through two weeks of Brian Thomas Jr, Xavier Worthy, Rome Odunze, Marvin Harrison Jr and Keon Coleman.
