The Audible

In This Episode: On this edition of The Audible, Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom break down the NFC North's 2026 NFL Draft haul and what it means for one of the league's most unpredictable divisions. The Bears added talent across the board — but how does Sam Roush fit into an already crowded tight end room, and could he carve out a role sooner than expected. The Lions made aggressive, win‑now moves… but did they do enough to push themselves back into a Super Bowl window.

Meanwhile, the Packers and Vikings took very different approaches: Green Bay leaned into their developmental philosophy, while Minnesota made picks that signal a longer‑term reset. Every team added pieces — but which ones actually changed their trajectory.

In This Episode: On this edition of The Audible, Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom turn their attention to the AFC North and break down how the 2026 NFL Draft reshaped one of football's toughest divisions. Did the Browns finally add the right weapons to unlock their passing game. Did the Ravens reload the way they always seem to. And how much better did the Bengals get around their franchise quarterback.

But the biggest headline might belong to Pittsburgh. The Steelers stunned the league by selecting Drew Allar at quarterback — a move that has fans buzzing and analysts wondering what the long‑term plan really is. Was it a reach, a reset, or a rare chance they simply couldn't pass up.

On this week's On The Couch, Sigmund Bloom is joined by Dan Schneier of CBS Sports to preview the first round of the NFL Draft through a fantasy football lens — and this class brings serious juice. The guys break down the top wideouts who could reshape both NFL offenses and fantasy leagues the moment they step on the field.

The guys dive into Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza, a passer with surprising nuance and a ceiling that might be higher than people realize. They examine whether Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love — the top running back in the class — can make an instant impact at the next level, or if landing spot will determine everything. And they break down why Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq might be the best move tight end in the entire draft, with the kind of athletic profile that changes how an offense operates.

On this episode of The Audible, Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom dig into a huge week of storylines shaping the 2026 NFL landscape — starting with the new contract for Seahawks WR Jaxson Smith‑Njigba. What does JSN's monster deal mean for the next wave of young receivers looking to cash in, especially George Pickens, who's angling for his own long‑term payday.

The fellas also dive into the 2026 NFL Draft, spotlighting Jeremyah Love, the consensus No. 1 running back in the class. Could he really fall out of the top 10, or is his talent too rare for teams to pass on. Then it's time for a reality check on Ty Simpson, the Alabama quarterback generating big buzz despite fewer than 10 college starts. Is the hype justified, or is the NFL projecting too much on traits and not enough on tape.

On this special edition of On The Couch, Sigmund Bloom is joined by John Daigle to break down the biggest winners and losers of NFL free agency — and what it all means for 2026 fantasy football. The guys open with the league‑shaking QB moves: Will Kyler Murray thrive in Minnesota, and can Tua Tagovailoa resurrect his career in Atlanta. Then they dive into the fantasy fallout for Jaylen Waddle, David Montgomery, and DJ Moore as each lands in a new situation with major upside… or major risk.

Bloom and Daigle also tackle the trickiest backfields of 2026, including how to approach the Patriots RB room, whether Chris Rodriguez or Bhayshul Tuten is the better bet in Jacksonville, and why the combine may matter less than ever in the coming years. They close with a look at why the Titans' free‑agent moves should make fantasy managers more optimistic than expected.

In This Episode: On this episode of The Audible, Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom dive into a massive week of NFL news and notes, headlined by the Broncos trading for Jaylen Waddle — one of the league's most explosive young receivers. What does Waddle's arrival mean for Bo Nix, Sean Payton's offense, and Denver's 2026 outlook. Did the Broncos just land the missing piece.

The fellas also break down the Vikings adding Kyler Murray, a move that suddenly turns Minnesota's QB room into one of the most fascinating in the league. Is this a true competition with J.J. McCarthy, or a bridge move with upside. And how does Murray fit Kevin O'Connell's system.

In This Episode: Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom break down a busy wave of NFL free‑agency moves, starting with Romeo Doubs signing with the Patriots. Does Doubs actually move the needle for New England's offense, or is he more of a complementary piece than a true difference‑maker. The guys dig into his fit, his role, and what it means for fantasy value in 2026.

Then it's on to the Cardinals landing Tyler Allgeier, a move that gives Arizona a physical, efficient back who could thrive in a bigger role. Cecil and Bloom explain why the fit works and how it reshapes that backfield. They also dive into Mike Evans joining the 49ers, breaking down why he's such a clean schematic match and how he could elevate an already loaded offense.

Finally, the fellas look ahead at the next potential dominoes: could stars like AJ Brown or DK Metcalf actually be on the trade block. What would it take. And which teams make the most sense if a blockbuster goes down.
