Wide Receiver Free Agency: George Pickens Headlines Thin 2026 Class Rich Dotson and Garret Price break down the 2026 wide receiver free agent landscape and team needs across the NFL. While the rookie draft class offers depth at the position, several veteran receivers could shift the dynasty landscape when free agency opens. The hosts dive into which teams desperately need help and where value might emerge for fantasy managers. George Pickens leads the class after a career best 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns in Dallas. The hosts expect him to return on a franchise tag or extension. Alec Pierce emerges as an intriguing secondary option who could fit Buffalo's needs. The duo identifies Las Vegas and Tennessee as premier landing spots where receivers could immediately become fantasy assets, similar to Josh Palmer's breakout season. Potential cap casualties include Tyreek Hill, Calvin Ridley, DJ Moore, and surprisingly Michael Pittman Jr, creating additional roster movement across the league. 📊 Rookie Big Boards 📝 Rookie Mock Drafts 📈 Dynasty Rankings 📱 Dynasty Nerds App 🧱 IDP Hub Start Using the Film Room Today!

Rich Dotson and Garret Price sound the alarm on running back scarcity in dynasty leagues. With a weak 2026 rookie class, the hosts urge managers to act now before free agency reshapes the landscape. The message is clear: if you need running back help, the time to trade is before values spike. Breece Hall leads the free agent class as the top prize for contending teams. The hosts highlight Kansas City, Houston, and Washington as ideal landing spots. Kenneth Walker and Travis Etienne round out the top tier, while J.K. Dobbins and Javonte Williams offer intriguing mid-tier value. Rich and Garret break down potential cap casualties including Tony Pollard, Joe Mixon, and James Conner, while highlighting Jonathon Brooks as a sneaky buy low candidate in Carolina. 📊 Rookie Big Boards 📝 Rookie Mock Drafts 📈 Dynasty Rankings 📱 Dynasty Nerds App 🧱 IDP Hub Start Using the Film Room Today!

Join Garret and Andrew in a lively 13-round superflex tight end premium mock draft with the Dynasty Nerds community! They tackle outdated ADP, showcasing strategies to exploit market inefficiencies. Andrew builds excitement around cornerstone QBs like Drake Maye and Caleb Williams, while Garret smartly waits on quarterbacks to stockpile elite running backs. Key picks include Emeka Egbuka and George Pickens as steals. The duo visually navigates roster construction, balancing rookie talent and established players for a Championship run!

Buy These 2024 Players Instead of Spending Picks on 2026 Rookies Jagger May and Andrew Mott break down why dynasty managers should target undervalued vet players instead of chasing 2026 rookies. With the 2026 class lacking depth, buying low on players offers better value for contending teams looking to maximize their rosters. Marvin Harrison Jr. tops the buy list after a disappointing rookie season hampered by injuries and poor offensive coordination. With Drew Petzing gone and a potential offensive overhaul in Arizona, Harrison could be acquired for a fourth or fifth round startup pick. Brian Thomas Jr., Rome Odunze, and Ladd McConkey all offer bounce back potential, with McConkey especially appealing after Greg Roman's firing in Los Angeles opens up the passing game. Zay Flowers quietly delivered consistency despite limited touchdown equity, while Woody Marks presents running back value despite a struggling Texans offense. The hosts even highlight veteran quarterback Jared Goff and breakout tight end Kyle Pitts as targets now that Kevin Stefanski is coaching the Falcons. Start Using the Film Room Today!

Rich Dotson and Matt O'Hara dive into third year players poised for fantasy football success or decline in 2026. With the Chargers firing Greg Roman and committing to protect Justin Herbert, Ladd McConkey emerges as a prime bounce back candidate after finishing as wide receiver 23 in 2025. The hosts debate whether McConkey can return to his rookie form when he posted 82 catches and 1,149 yards. Ben Sinnott gets the spotlight as a potential third year breakout with Zach Ertz likely gone from Washington. Sinnott outperformed John Bates in routes run and air yards when Ertz went down, making him a worthy third round pick gamble. On the breakdown side, Xavier Worthy and Trey Benson face uphill battles with unclear roles and injury concerns limiting their dynasty value heading into year three. Start Using the Film Room Today!

The 2026 rookie class may be thin, but savvy dynasty fantasy football managers are already targeting second-year players poised for breakout seasons. Rich Dotson and Matt O'Hara break down the sophomore standouts to buy low on and the concerning situations to avoid. Cam Ward showed significant improvement in the second half of his rookie season with the Titans, finishing as QB14 from weeks 11 through 17. With Tennessee boasting over 100 million in projected cap space and interviewing new head coaches, Ward's trajectory is pointing up. The Titans have the resources to build around their first overall pick, making him an ideal buy-low target in superflex leagues. The Jaguars running back situation is in flux. Bhayshul Tuten flashed in limited action, averaging 4.6 yards per carry and ripping off chunks in the wild card game. With the Jags tight on cap space and Travis Etienne potentially departing in free agency, Tuten could slide into a starting role. Dynasty managers should make moves now before his value spikes. Despite elite talent, Travis Hunter faces a crowded receiver room in Jacksonville. With Brian Thomas Jr. emerging, Parker Washington breaking out, and Gabe Davis extended to a massive contract, Hunter may see more snaps at cornerback where the Jags desperately need help. His fantasy upside remains uncertain unless he commits full-time to offense. 00:00 Start 10:10 Step Up: Cam Ward 18:54 Step Up: Bhayshul Tuten 26:07 FFPC 28:04 FastDraft 32:54 Step Down: Travis Hunter 40:55 Step Down: Kaleb Johnson 48:03 Honorable Mentions Start Using the Film Room Today!

Dive into the intriguing world of the 2026 NFL Draft as the hosts explore six sleeper prospects. Emmett Johnson shines as a dual-threat running back with impressive stats from Nebraska. Trinidad Chambliss, despite arm strength concerns, showcases promising mobility. Eric McAllister's size gives him an edge, though his route running needs work. Bryce Lance, known for his catch ability, aims to prove himself at the Senior Bowl. Finally, tight end Michael Trigg stands out as a potential early-round pick, thanks to his exceptional athleticism.

Garret Price, Jared Wackerly, and Jagger May dive into the wild transfer portal season, breaking down which moves will elevate prospects for the 2027 NFL Draft. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Josh Hoover headlines the quarterback transfers after moving from TCU to Indiana, reuniting with head coach Curt Cignetti's high-powered offense. The gunslinger brings nearly 10,000 career passing yards and over 70 touchdowns, though turnover issues plagued his TCU tenure. Raleek Brown joins Texas after stops at USC and Arizona State. The hosts emphasize Brown's explosiveness and ability to string moves together. Meanwhile, Hollywood Smothers (NC State to Alabama) and Tre Wisner (Texas to Florida State) represent electric smaller backs seeking bigger opportunities. DJ Lagway's move from Florida to Baylor drew criticism from Jagger, who questioned leaving the SEC for the Big 12. The 6'3", 247-pound former five-star recruit possesses elite physical tools but needs significant development in accuracy and decision-making. Jagger argues Lagway must elevate Baylor to playoff contention to maintain franchise quarterback draft capital. 0:00 Start 03:06 Big QB Transfers 03:18 Brendan Sorsby 05:28 DJ Lagway 07:47 Drew Mestemaker 10:03 Josh Hoover 12:49 Sam Leavitt 13:20 Dylan Raiola 18:15 RB Transfers 18:52 Caleb Hawkins 22:47 Hollywood Smothers, Quintrevion Wisner, and Raleek Brown 26:09 FFPC 27:29 Taylor Tatum and Makhi Hughes 31:31 WR Transfers 33:16 Eugene Wilson III 34:03 Jayce Brown 34:38 Ian Strong 36:56 TE Transfers 37:10 Luke Reynolds 37:37 Benjamin Brahmer Learn more about your ad choices.
