George Pickens dominates the Nico Collins Award as wide receiver three on the season after his trade to Dallas. Running a full route tree alongside CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott, Pickens proved he can be a true alpha receiver. The hosts debate whether he maintains his hunger after getting paid, but his production speaks for itself.

Harold Fannin Jr. earns multiple trophies including Rookie Value Award after going in the third round of rookie drafts. The 21 year old Cleveland tight end has become the clear number one weapon for Shedeur Sanders, showcasing elite yards after catch ability and solid route running despite coming from Bowling Green.

Javonte Williams unanimously wins the Kim Kardashian Comeback Player Award as running back seven. After devastating injuries derailed his career, Williams looks like his rookie self again in Dallas, breaking tackles and delivering the juice fantasy managers thought they'd never see again. The hosts hope he stays with the Cowboys to maximize his remaining window.

Josh Jacobs claims Mr. Consistent for the second straight year, proving once again he's a set and forget running back one. Since 2021, Jacobs has finished as a running back one every season except his final Raiders year, making him one of the most underrated dynasty assets in fantasy football.

Saquon Barkley earns Matt's "I Told You So" after his massive 378 touch season in 2024 led to predictable regression. Dropping from 21 points per game to 14.4, Barkley went from Superman to a mere mortal, validating concerns about his workload.
