7 Players Ruining Our Rankings, Zay Flowers Gigantic Contract, and The Great Almond Debate

We kick off the show by discussing the contract extensions that Bijan Robinson (03:02) and Zay Flowers (03:57) received. What does this mean for Jahmyr Gibbs’ hold-in? Does this big-money deal change how we view Flowers’ role in Baltimore’s offense? After a recap of the latest NFL news, the guys present the players that are the hardest to rank in fantasy this season (15:10).

Justin Jefferson (15:24)
CeeDee Lamb (21:13)
ChatGPT Jerry Jones Sun Chart (27:42)
Ladd McConkey (33:24)
DeVonta Smith (40:47)
Alec Pierce (47:04)
Quinshon Judkins (54:56)
Parker Washington (01:01:39)

Finally, we read some emails—including one from a former pen salesman who weighs in on the Heifetz-Jackie debate (01:06:08).
