Jonathan Taylor was referenced in the context of the show's production notes and analysis preparation.

A.J. BrownPositiveRolePodcastMay 14, 2026

A.J. Brown was interviewed on the show at some point during its four-year run, though the hosts acknowledged they had no clear memory of the interview despite Brown being an absolute superstar.

Chris JohnsonPositiveRolePodcastMay 14, 2026

Chris Johnson (CJ2K) appeared on the show at the Super Bowl in Vegas and promoted his personal Airbnb rental in Nashville rather than the official sponsor partnership.

Deebo SamuelPositiveRolePodcastMay 14, 2026

Debo Samuel appeared as a guest on the show during a Vegas Radio Row segment and seemed uncertain about the situation, laughing awkwardly as the hosts engaged in comedic antics.

Brian RobinsonPositiveRolePodcastMay 14, 2026

Brian Robinson is referenced for wearing a big hat that went viral on the internet, becoming a notable cultural moment associated with the player.

Tyler WarrenPositiveRolePodcastMay 14, 2026

Tyler Warren kept the game alive with a key play, showing his importance to the offense in critical moments.

Jonathan TaylorPositiveProjectionPodcastMay 14, 2026

Jonathan Taylor had 218 yards and scored his third touchdown of the game, demonstrating strong performance output.

David NjokuNegativeProjectionPodcastMay 14, 2026

Njoku will likely catch around six touchdowns and be frustrating for fantasy owners because no one will know which weeks to start him.

David NjokuPositiveRolePodcastMay 14, 2026

Njoku is a great blocker who was signed by the Chargers, and the team appears to want to run a lot of 12 personnel with him, Omari and Hampton, and Charlie Kohler, with Gadsden potentially moving to power slot rather than the line of scrimmage.

Woody MarksPositiveValuePodcastMay 14, 2026

Woody Mark is noted as being 69% available in fantasy leagues, suggesting he is widely available on waiver wires.

Josh JacobsPositiveRolePodcastMay 14, 2026

Matthew Berry mentions not facing Josh Jacobs in a 14-team, two-quarterback league with show staff, noting this as important context for his league performance.

Chase BrownPositiveUsagePodcastMay 14, 2026

A viewer suggests Chase Brown should be nicknamed 'the Gobbler' because he will gobble up receptions, though the hosts debate whether this is a nickname Brown would actually enjoy.

Isiah PachecoPositiveRolePodcastMay 14, 2026

Matthew Berry uses Isaiah Pacheco as a comparison point for how he would perform as an NFL running back, describing himself as slower and easier to bring down but with similar plotting characteristics.

Sam LaPortaPositiveInjuryPodcastMay 14, 2026

Sam Laporta's production has waned since his rookie season, but if he returns to health, he could average around 12 fantasy points per game.

Justin HerbertPositiveSleeperPodcastMay 14, 2026

Justin Herbert could be a sleeper pick this season, especially if the offensive line improves, allowing him to focus more on passing rather than scrambling.

Bijan RobinsonPositiveProjectionPodcastMay 14, 2026

Bijan Robinson is viewed as the top pick for fantasy drafts, with expectations of high volume and durability in a run-heavy offense.

Mike EvansPositiveValuePodcastMay 14, 2026

Mike Evans is projected to be a key player in San Francisco's offense, potentially clearing 100 targets and flirting with double-digit touchdowns, making him a great value outside the top 30 wide receivers.

Brian Thomas Jr.PositiveBreakoutPodcastMay 14, 2026

Despite last year's struggles, Brian Thomas Jr. has shown improvement in his routes and could offer higher upside than his teammates in Jacksonville.

Brian Thomas Jr.NegativeBustPodcastMay 14, 2026

Brian Thomas Jr. had a disappointing 2025 season, averaging only 8.9 fantasy points per game, which raises concerns about his value in the ninth round.

Jadarian PricePositiveSleeperPodcastMay 14, 2026

Jadarian Price is projected to clear 220 carries and offers significant upside, making him a preferable option over other running backs being drafted around the same ADP.

Jeremiyah LoveNegativeProjectionPodcastMay 14, 2026

Despite the hype, Love's landing in a crowded Arizona backfield raises concerns about his opportunity and value.

Jeremiyah LovePositiveValuePodcastMay 14, 2026

Jeremiah Love's ADP is climbing, currently being selected as the seventh running back off the board, ahead of notable players like Saquon Barkley.
