The Dudes are back, Trent kicks things off with a wild Chinese buffet story that somehow ends with a pickle in his sushi roll, a perfect metaphor for reaching too early and immediately regretting it (just ask anyone who drafted Bucky Irving last year).

The crew is back live every Tuesday, and this episode they’re diving deep into Early-Round Reaches — the players they’re flat-out refusing to draft at current ADP. They break down Ashton Jeanty, Malik Nabers’ ACL recovery concerns, Brock Bowers’ regression risk, Christian McCaffrey’s age cliff, and plenty more overvalued names climbing boards right now.

Trent pulls up Ian Harditz’s data on the percentage of top-12 fantasy producers by age over the last 10 years, sparking a great conversation about when players actually fall off. They also react to your replies from X and debate smarter targets you should be loading up on instead.

Then things get spicy as they close out the show with their hottest Boomer Sports Takes — from NIL ruining small schools, conference realignment regrets, bottomless apps at Buffalo Wild Wings, and why instant replay is getting out of hand.
