Episode Summary It’s an annual tradition on the QB List Podcast Network! Pitcher List founder Nick Pollock steps out of the baseball cave and into the fantasy football studio to play the ultimate "stooge" as QB List Lead Analyst Jay Felicio walks him step-by-step through the 2026 draft landscape.

Together, Jay and Nick strip away the rigid consensus of ADP to talk real value, roster construction, and how to build a stress-free roster without falling for pre-draft landmines.

What We Discuss:

    •    Draft Strategy & ADP Illusion: Why rigidly following consensus draft boards ruins teams, and why picking "your guys" is better than trusting last year's data.

    •    The Offensive Line Factor: Jay teases his deep-dive research into how top O-lines (Colts, Broncos, Eagles, Buccaneers) elevate skill players while bad units (Titans, Browns, Jaguars) create trap assets.

    •    Wide Receiver Hot Spots: Why the elite wideout tier has shrunk, evaluating AJ Brown's projection with Drake Maye in New England, and why Christian Watson & Terry McLaurin represent draft-day steals.

    •    Quarterback Value vs. Draft Capital: Nick’s obsession with Josh Allen’s floor versus Jay’s strategy of waiting late on rushing upside QBs like Jaxson Dart.

    •    Backfield Tiers & Bell-Cow Options: Digging into Kenneth Walker's potential RB1 overall ceiling in Kansas City, the messy Denver backfield committee, and DeAndre Swift's high floor in Ben Johnson's Bears offense.

    •    Tight End Stashes & Sleepers: Navigating the elite volume profile of Brock Bowers, evaluating Sam LaPorta's rebound, and finding late-round gems like Isaiah Likely.

Brian and Mario are back with the latest fantasy football news before putting their draft strategy to the test in a 10-team fantasy football mock draft.

The guys catch up on the latest NFL developments, including the Browns' quarterback situation, Houston adding Kayshon Boutte, injury updates, Malik Nabers returning to full-contact work, and other news that could impact your upcoming fantasy drafts.

Then Brian and Mario do something a little different: build one fantasy team together from the 1.07.

Using a blended ADP from Sleeper, Yahoo, and ESPN, they work through every round together, debate the best players available, test different roster-construction strategies, and identify where the biggest values are showing up as draft season reaches its final stretch.

Which platform has the strangest ADPs? When should you attack quarterback and tight end in a 10-team league? And how aggressive should you be when one of your guys falls past his normal draft price?

Brian and Mario are helping you navigate the toughest part of fantasy football draft season: knowing when the price is wrong.

First, they hit the latest NFL and training camp news, including Breece Hall's groin injury, Jeremiyah Love's ankle sprain, Puka Nacua, Tony Pollard, the Patriots' backfield split, J.K. Dobbins, Jaylen Waddle, and more.
