Fantasy Football Happy Hour with Matthew Berry on J.J. McCarthy

PodcastWeek 7 Sit/Start + MailbagOctober 21, 2026

From the episode

I think starting J.J. McCarthy is the right decision... He gave you a spark in the fourth quarter against the Saints. The Giants have an opportunity here, right? Just because the division is so weak and just I think they feel like they've seen enough from Jameis Winston.

McCarthy's start is right call; showed spark vs. Saints, division opportunity.

Matthew Berry believes starting J.J. McCarthy is the right decision for the Giants; McCarthy provided a spark in the fourth quarter against the Saints and gives the team a chance to evaluate the young quarterback while the division is weak and the team has seen enough from Jameis Winston.
