Bo NixPositiveJul 16, 2026Zain Dhanani

Davis Webb's big offseason focus as Denver's new playcaller: Getting Bo Nix into rhythm earlier Expect the Broncos to lean into more early-game tempo/no-huddle Nix's 1Q passer rating has ranked dead last among qualifying QBs since he entered the league

Nico CollinsPositiveJul 16, 2026Matt Harmon

Would you rather draft Drake London or Nico Collins this year? @justinboone and I debate two players we are both high on for 2026.

ICYMI @TJWengert breaks down the potential on Year 2 breakouts for players like Burden, Tuten and more! Here's part of what he had to say about Teslaa⤵️

Javonte WilliamsPositiveJul 16, 2026Ian Hartitz

Kyren Williams, Javonte Williams, and D'Andre Swift easily outscored Breece Hall in fantasy land last season. All three avoided additional backfield competition and are still in offenses we expect to rock. Geno Smith + Frank Reich enough for Breece to leap them this time around?

Ty JohnsonPositiveJul 16, 2026Ian Hartitz

Ray Davis is super cheap so I get throwing a late-round dart his way. He had 23 of 27 carries and targets in our one-game sample without James Cook in 2024. That said: Do worry that Ty Johnson would turn things closer to a 50/50 situation if Cook missed time in 2026 considering the shift we saw last season: 2024: -Ray Davis: 113 carries, 19 targets -Ty Johnson: 41 carries, 25 targets 2025: -Ray Davis: 58 carries, 13 targets -Ty Johnson: 50 carries, 33 targets Also Johnson somehow had 6 carrie...

Ashton Jeanty is dunking at 5’8 😱

Stefon DiggsPositiveJul 16, 2026Zain Dhanani

The latest news and analysis via YouTube, Spotify, and Apple (links below - like, sub, share) Covering the latest on Stefon Diggs, Packers WRs, and more Another Tight Ten Report:

C.J. StroudPositiveJul 16, 2026Zain Dhanani

Saving this for Week 1 matchup notes: New DC Jim Leonhard is scrapping the old 4-3 for "a dramatically different system featuring a 3-4 front with unconventional and aggressive blitz-heavy schemes." Will be tough sledding for new Texans OL / CJ Stroud WK1

Seth McGowanPositiveJul 16, 2026Zain Dhanani

Colts RB2 Battle: More confirmation it is a legitimate battle between Seth McGowan and DJ Giddens Also would not be surprised if they add a vet FA per previous reports

Jonathan TaylorPositiveJul 16, 2026Zain Dhanani

Speculative from the Athletic that Jonathan Taylor could be a hold-in during Training Camp I already think James Cook should go above him with my belief that he will get more pass-catching opportunities Any drama will send his ADP down a few picks

A.J. BrownPositiveJul 16, 2026Zain Dhanani

One underrated reason the Patriots went and got A.J. Brown: They faced single-high safety looks at the 5th-highest rate in the league in the second half of last year Teams were loading the box because they weren't scared of the receivers Helps the run game too

Rome OdunzeNegativeJul 16, 2026Zain Dhanani

On Rome Odunze: Does mention he could establish himself as WR1 (or Burden as it says) Did not get surgery, but still a question based on how it is worded of weather he will look explosive with his "new normal" foot situation Take: Really good player pre-injury - staying away

Chase BrownPositiveJul 16, 2026Jacob Gibbs

Chase Brown in 15 games started alongside Joe Burrow over the past two seasons: - 20.9 PPR points per game (would have ranked as RB5, just ahead of De'Von Achane) - 20.2 expected Fantasy points per game (would have ranked as RB2 behind only CMC) (Source: @FantasyPtsData)

Elijah ArroyoPositiveJul 16, 202632BeatWriters

On Arroyo: "but there is a ton of upside, especially as a pass-catcher, due to his athletic ability, and with a former tight ends coach, Brian Fleury, taking over as offensive coordinator, there figures to be plenty of opportunities for tight ends to thrive in Seattle's offense."

Rachaad WhitePositiveJul 16, 2026Jacob Gibbs

Rachaad White's rushing data has steadily improved across his four-year career.

Rachaad WhitePositiveJul 16, 2026Jacob Gibbs

Some of my favorite Rachaad White runs from 2025. He's definitely improved his timing/tempo as a runner.

N'Keal HarryPositiveJul 16, 202632BeatWriters

"Looked like a really solid, reliable hands catcher, had a couple times the ball got into his chest, but that's going to happen for all these guys. I I'm confident that he is going to be a plus receiver when it's all said and done at that position."

Jack BechPositiveJul 16, 2026Matt Harmon

The Jack Bech film was much better than the production and the lack of snaps would indicate. If a new Raiders coaching staff can find the right role for him, there's a useful player in there waiting for them. New video on the channel 👇

Travis EtiennePositiveJul 16, 2026Dataroma

To be clear, definitely not pounding the table for Kamara. Think he’s extremely limited at this point and probably has pretty poor injury-contingent upside. Would imagine he splits with an Estime, Neal or Kendre, in an offense that may be trending up but is still on the weaker side of the league. More so just think he limits the upside of Etienne as a pass-catcher. And fwiw, the advanced stuff for these two has been pretty similar over the past couple of years, both not great.

I don’t think Kamara makes much of a difference to Etienne, but I still don’t think Etienne is a good pick
