Fantasy Flex Podcast: AFC South and AFC West Camp Questions
In this episode of the “Fantasy Flex” podcast, hosts Chris Raybon and Sean Koerner present a deep dive into 2025 NFL AFC training camp storylines, position battles, and player outlooks for fantasy football. The conversation is anchored by their signature chemistry and evidence-based analysis, as they work through key questions for each team in the AFC South and AFC West.
AFC South Highlights
- Houston Texans: The hosts weigh the fantasy value of Houston’s new-look receiving corps after Tank Dell’s likely absence and Stefon Diggs’ departure. Both see Jayden Higgins as a breakout candidate thanks to his physical tools, low collegiate drop rate, and a clear path to the #2 receiver job behind Nico Collins. The discussion turns to Houston’s backfield, where Nick Chubb’s post-injury outlook is a key question. Both agree Chubb could siphon enough work from Joe Mixon to temper Mixon’s RB2 value, while third-down usage in this offense is considered less critical for fantasy ceiling.
- Indianapolis Colts: Both pick Josh Downs as the top value receiver, citing his separation skills and upside in the context of the Colts’ uncertain quarterback situation. Raybon is “team Richardson” for fantasy, viewing Anthony Richardson’s rushing upside as a draft steal, though he acknowledges the risk if Daniel Jones starts. Both downgrade Michael Pittman due to role concerns and emerging competition.
- Jacksonville Jaguars: The running back pecking order is murky, with both analysts putting Travis Etienne and promising rookie Bhayshul Tuten ahead of Tank Bigsby, although Bigsby’s role could evolve or lead to a trade. They praise new coordinator Liam Coen’s ability to elevate the run game and discuss the potential of two-way rookie Travis Hunter, agreeing he’ll see priority snaps on offense. Both see high upside in the Jags’ offense, likening Hunter’s impact potential to a breakout Odell Beckham season.
- Tennessee Titans: Tony Pollard is labeled a “frozen pond back” due to an uncertain role—he looked good last year while Tyjae Spears was unhealthy, but Spears’ return and Bill Callahan’s possible committee approach prompt caution. The hosts agree Calvin Ridley is the clear WR1, with little excitement about the rest of Tennessee’s receiving options.
AFC West Highlights
- Denver Broncos: There’s concern about the crowded backfield—RJ Harvey is viewed as an overvalued RB21, especially with J.K. Dobbins and other backs in the mix.
- Kansas City Chiefs: Both see Patrick Mahomes as the far better investment over Travis Kelce, as Kelce’s volume declines and the Chiefs’ receiver rotation gets deeper. Kansas City’s running back pecking order and the dangers of overinvesting in their wide receivers are noted.
- Las Vegas Raiders: The WR2 competition behind Jakobi Myers is unsettled, while Michael Mayers’ future value may depend on a potential trade.
- Los Angeles Chargers: The preferred Chargers WR2 is Tre Harris, particularly if he locks in a starting role. Ladd McConkey is highlighted as a player with major “Amon-Ra St. Brown”-type upside.
