April 28 Fantasy Risers & Fallers from the 2026 NFL Draft (Rookies & Veterans)
The 2026 NFL Draft is done and fantasy football draft boards need a complete overhaul. Ian Hartitz and Dwain McFarland go through every landing spot that moved the needle — identifying the rookies and veterans whose fantasy value is rising and the ones whose value just took a hit.
Which rookies landed in smash spots? Which veterans just lost their jobs or gained new competition? And which landing spots were so bad they dropped a player's fantasy ranking entirely? We cover it all so you can adjust your rankings before your next draft.
Topics in this video: 2026 NFL Draft risers and fallers, fantasy football draft, rookie landing spots, veteran fantasy impact, fantasy football rankings, ADP risers, ADP fallers, dynasty fantasy football, best ball, redraft strategy, NFL Draft fantasy winners and losers, rookie fantasy rankings

April 18 Big Board vs. Super Model: Who's Right About These NFL Prospects?
Dwain McFarland and Matthew Freedman go head to head comparing two completely different approaches to evaluating the 2026 NFL Draft class. Freedman brings his scouting-based Big Board rankings. Dwain brings the data-driven Rookie Super Model. They don't always agree — and that's where it gets interesting.
Jordyn Tyson is WR1 on the Big Board but WR3 in the Super Model. Carnell Tate is WR2 on the Big Board but WR1 in the Model. Denzel Boston grades out as a borderline first-round pick on the Big Board but the Model's closest comps are Cedric Tillman, Javon Baker, and Jakobi Meyers. Nicholas Singleton is RB6 on the Big Board but RB3 in the Model. We go prospect by prospect through every wide receiver, running back, and tight end to find where scouting and data agree — and where they clash.
📋 Wide Receivers:
Jordyn Tyson — BB: WR1 (7) | RSM: WR3 (85)
Carnell Tate — BB: WR2 (9) | RSM: WR1 (92)
Makai Lemon — BB: WR3 (16) | RSM: WR2 (86)
KC Concepcion — BB: WR4 (24) | RSM: T-WR4 (81)
Denzel Boston — BB: WR5 (28) | RSM: WR6 (77)
Omar Cooper Jr. — BB: WR6 (32) | RSM: T-WR4 (81)
Chris Bell — BB: WR7 (40) | RSM: WR9 (74)
Zachariah Branch — BB: WR8 (52) | RSM: WR12 (72)
Elijah Sarratt — BB: WR11 (67) | RSM: WR7 (76)
📋 Running Backs:
Jeremiyah Love — BB: RB1 (3) | RSM: RB1 (91)
Jadarian Price — BB: RB2 (53) | RSM: RB2 (71)
Mike Washington Jr. — BB: RB3 (68) | RSM: RB5 (69)
Jonah Coleman — BB: RB4 (88) | RSM: RB4 (70)
Emmett Johnson — BB: RB5 (100) | RSM: RB6 (68)
Nicholas Singleton — BB: RB6 (115) | RSM: RB3 (70)
📋 Tight Ends:
Kenyon Sadiq — BB: TE1 (14) | RSM: TE1 (85)
Eli Stowers — BB: TE2 (46) | RSM: TE2 (74)
Max Klare — BB: TE3 (77) | RSM: TE3 (71)

April 18NFL Draft Hot Takes from Mild to Scorching | UNTITLED w/ Coach Gene Clemons
Kendall Valenzuela, Amanda, and Gene are back with the spiciest episode of UNTITLED yet. The Chiefs GM is expecting a lot of trades in Round 1 and the Eagles still haven't changed their stance on AJ Brown. Then we get into it — NFL Draft hot takes that start mild and get progressively hotter.
Could the best wide receiver in this draft class come from outside the first round? Will Philadelphia trade up for a WR? Is Jordyn Tyson going inside the top 10? Will Taylen Green become a top-10 fantasy QB? Are THREE quarterbacks going in Round 1? And the scorching takes: could Jack Endries be the most complete receiving tight end in the draft? Will Mendoza go 1.01 but not start until Week 11? And are the Cowboys trading George Pickens to the Ravens?
From mild to absolutely scorching — these are the NFL Draft takes we're willing to put on the record.
Segments:
Q1: Did You Hear? (Chiefs trades, Eagles & AJ Brown)

Q2: Mild Draft Takes

Q3: Medium Draft Takes

Q4: HOTTTTT Draft Takes

Topics in this video: NFL Draft hot takes, 2026 NFL Draft, fantasy football, Jordyn Tyson top 10, Taylen Green fantasy, Jack Endries, Fernando Mendoza, George Pickens trade, Cowboys Ravens trade, Eagles AJ Brown, Chiefs draft trades, draft predictions, dynasty fantasy football, best ball

The big question for this draft class: which prospects are actually good and which ones are just athletic? We go position by position through the quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends to separate the real fantasy football assets from the combine heroes.Is Mike Washington actually a good running back or just a freak athlete? Could Jadarian Price be a league winner if he lands in Seattle? Is Chris Bell the WR7 everyone should be locking in? And is the world sleeping on Ja'Kobi Lane? Plus, we debate the best project QBs, the small school WR darts worth taking, and the tight end class that's deeper than people think.📋 Topics Covered:QBs: Ty Simpson, Garrett Nussmeier, Drew Allar, Cade Klubnik, Taylen Green, Cole PaytonRBs: Mike Washington, Jadarian Price, Seth McGowan, Emmett Johnson, Nicholas Singleton, Kaytron AllenWRs: Chris Bell, Skyler Bell, Bryce Lance, Ted Hurst, Brenen Thompson, Ja'Kobi LaneTEs: Max Klare, Eli Stowers, Eli Raridon, Oscar Delp🔍 Topics in this video:2026 NFL Draft, NFL Draft prospects, fantasy football rookies, Mike Washington, Jadarian Price, Chris Bell, Hayden Winks, Underdog Fantasy, actually good or just athletic, rookie rankings, dynasty fantasy football, best ball, NFL Combine, draft prospect breakdown, rookie running backs, rookie wide receivers, rookie tight ends🔔 Subscribe for more fantasy football content#NFLDraft #FantasyFootball #2026NFLDraft #UnderdogFantasy #RookieRankings #DynastyFantasyFootball #BestBall #FantasyFootballPodcast

April 14NFL Draft Stock Up/Stock Down: Rookies Making Big Moves on Big Boards
Fantasy football is unpredictable, but your internet price doesn’t have to be. Lock in fast, reliable WiFi with Xfinity’s 5-Year Price Guarantee.
https://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/trackclk/N8667.5415713FLNEWSLETTERLLC/B34798571.4365895[…]gdpr=${GDPR};gdpr_consent=${GDPR_CONSENT_755};ltd=;dc_tdv=1
Ian Hartitz and Dwain McFarland go prospect by prospect through the running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends whose draft stock is moving ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. Using the Rookie Super Model and updated big board data, we identify which rookies are climbing and which are slipping — and what it means for your fantasy football draft boards.
Jeremiyah Love's Super Model score jumps to 91, leaping both Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs on the all-time leaderboard. Omar Cooper continues his rise. But Jordyn Tyson, Denzel Boston, and a handful of Penn State backs are trending the wrong direction. Plus, the RB class might be too weak for NFL teams to reach in the second and third rounds.
Stock Up:
Jeremiyah Love, RB (89 → 91 RSM)

Jadarian Price, RB (70 → 71 RSM)

Omar Cooper, WR (79 → 81 RSM)

Ted Hurst, WR (71 → 72 RSM)

Skyler Bell, WR (70 → 71 RSM)

Bryce Lance, WR (71 → 72 RSM)

Oscar Delp, TE (63 → 69 RSM)
Jonah Coleman, RB (71 → 70 RSM)

Emmett Johnson, RB (69 → 68 RSM)

Nicholas Singleton, RB (70 → 70 RSM)

Kaytron Allen, RB (68 → 66 RSM)

Jordyn Tyson, WR (86 → 85 RSM)

Denzel Boston, WR (78 → 77 RSM)

Malachi Fields, WR (72 → 70 RSM)

Elijah Sarratt, WR (77 → 76 RSM)

Justin Jolly, TE (77 → 77 RSM)
