Nick from New York reacts to the week's biggest NFL podcasts. He agrees with The Mina Kimes Show that the 49ers offense falls apart without Mike Evans, and with Daniel Jeremiah on Move the Sticks that the Raiders should be patient with Fernando Mendoza. Then he pushes back on the idea of the Eagles trading for Kirk Cousins after the Jalen Hurts injury, and on The Ringer NFL Show's take that Bo Nix is cooked after Ryan Fitzpatrick's postgame rant. Plus what the podcasts are saying about the NFL's best young players: Caleb Williams' third-year leap, Kyler Gordon's three-sack game, Carson Schwesinger, Germie Bernard's Steelers rookie record, Jaylin Noel and Sonny Styles.The Little Daily NFL Podcast w/ Nick from New York.

The 49ers held off Jayden Daniels' second-half rally to win 23-17 on Monday night and move to 6-0. Then the young-player injury and depth chart report, from Caleb Williams' return to Cam Skattebo's demotion. Five stocks rising, led by Carnell Tate, Germie Bernard, Caleb Williams, Travis Hunter and Caleb Lomu, and five falling, including Jalon Daniels, Zachariah Branch and a quiet week for Denzel Boston and David Bailey. Plus the Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Year ladders, and why Hezekiah Masses and Anthony Hill Jr. deserve more respect than the sportsbooks are giving them.The Little Daily NFL Podcast w/ Nick from New York.

The first Wednesday Whine, where Nick answers the week's big NFL podcasts. From The Mina Kimes Show, Michael Penix Jr. and Bijan Robinson's 45-24 rout of the Saints (which Nick picked the other way), and the Patriots' blueprint for beating the Bills. From Move the Sticks with Daniel Jeremiah and Tom Telesco, the case for optimism in Houston and Los Angeles, and why Nick isn't buying it. From the Draft Dudes on Locked On NFL Scouting, the best and worst new play callers, including Jim Leonhard's Bills defense. And from NFL Daily with Gregg Rosenthal and Trevor Sikkema, the Giants' young pass rushers, Tyson Bagent and Tyler Shough's date with Brian Flores. Plus what everyone is saying about KC Concepcion, Denzel Boston, R Mason Thomas, Jacob Rodriguez and Tetairoa McMillan.The Little Daily NFL Podcast w/ Nick from New York.

Week 4 is in the books. The Bills handed the Patriots a 29-26 win in Buffalo, and Greg Rousseau was the only one who showed up. The Giants beat Arizona to take sole possession of first place in the NFC East, just like Nick said they would. Houston's defense gave up 34 to Dallas and CeeDee Lamb's 17 catches, and the Texans are 0-4. Joe Burrow threw for 428 yards, lost both of his star receivers to injury, and lost to Jacksonville anyway. In the late window, Kenneth Walker ran for 177 yards to push his league lead past 100 yards as the Chiefs handed the Raiders their first loss, the Vikings got to 4-0 without scoring a touchdown, and Tetairoa McMillan went for 192 on Sunday night. Plus a preview of Falcons at Saints on Monday Night Football, with a share of first place in the NFC South on the line.The Little Daily NFL Podcast w/ Nick from New York.

My Draft Crushes are the twelve players from the last three draft classes I was banging the table for before draft night. For each one, we look at the numbers that matter most at his position, stack him up against his own draft class and the rest of the league, and revisit his signature plays. From 2024: Byron Murphy's nine run stops, Ladd McConkey's return to rookie form, Cole Bishop's one-handed interception against the Saints and T'Vondre Sweat's move to the Jets. From 2025: Donovan Ezeiruaku, Defensive Rookie of the Year Carson Schwesinger, Jacob Parrish and Jalen Royals. And the rookies: KC Concepcion, Jacob Rodriguez (who leads all NFL linebackers in stops), R Mason Thomas and fourth-round steal Keionte Scott.The Little Daily NFL Podcast w/ Nick from New York.
