FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast

NFL Week 1 is here, and Chris Welsh and Andrew Erickson break down the biggest storylines before kickoff, starting with the bombshell Brock Bowers injury news. What does Bowers' absence mean for the Las Vegas Raiders, Michael Mayer, Tre Tucker and the rest of the offense, and should fantasy football managers be worried about Bowers' long-term durability?

The guys also examine Kyler Murray's fit with the Minnesota Vikings and whether he can keep Justin Jefferson happy, Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills facing an elite Houston Texans defense, Malik Nabers' Week 1 outlook and the early questions surrounding the Philadelphia Eagles offense. Plus, they tackle several fantasy football lineup questions, including Michael Mayer, Juwan Johnson and Trey Tucker.

Finally, can Bo Nix and the Denver Broncos make an early AFC statement against Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs? Welsh and Erickson discuss whether Denver could emerge as a legitimate Super Bowl favorite, plus their Week 1 predictions, upset picks and the NFL storylines that could define the opening weekend.

Chris Welsh, Andrew Erickson, and Pat Fitzmaurice break down the fantasy football quarterback and tight end rankings you need to set your starting lineup. The crew tackles the biggest start/sit decisions, including whether Jayden Daniels can overcome a difficult matchup, how much faith fantasy managers should have in Drake Maye, and whether Jackson Dart belongs among the top 12 quarterbacks.

The guys also identify quarterbacks who could beat their Week 1 rankings, including Matthew Stafford and Malik Willis, before diving into a tight end position loaded with difficult lineup calls. Can Juwan Johnson outscore Tucker Kraft? Is Harold Fannin Jr. already a top-tier fantasy option? And how high should Dallas Goedert climb with A.J. Brown out of the lineup?

Plus, find out why Mark Andrews remains one of Week 1's biggest boom-or-bust tight ends and which players offer the combination of matchup, volume, rushing upside, and touchdown potential fantasy managers should target. Get the latest Week 1 fantasy football rankings, lineup advice, sleepers, starts, sits, and expert analysis before locking in your roster.

The final fantasy football draft weekend is here, and expert rankings are changing fast. The Welsh and Andrew Erickson break down the biggest last-minute ECR risers and fallers, including Ashton Jeanty, Kenneth Walker III, Bucky Irving, Bhayshul Tuten, Marshawn Lloyd, RJ Harvey, Malik Nabers, Tetairoa McMillan, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Parker Washington and more.

Which rankings moves should fantasy managers actually trust? Erickson explains why Kenneth Walker could be a screaming draft value, why Bucky Irving is climbing, how high Marshawn Lloyd should go, and why Tetairoa McMillan may be getting disrespected. Plus, the guys examine Parker Washington's surge, Chris Godwin's late-round appeal and potential sleepers Casey Concepcion and Dontayvion Wicks.

It’s time to get BOLD before Week 1! Tera Roberts, Derek Brown, and Andrew Erickson reveal their biggest fantasy football predictions for the 2026 NFL season, including breakout candidates, potential busts, and several calls that could completely reshape your draft strategy.

Ryan Wormeli Derek Brown, Tera Roberts, and special guest Rich Hribar of Sharp Football run through a 12-team 2026 fantasy football Superflex mock draft, breaking down the biggest decisions fantasy managers will face on draft day.

They also dig into some of the most important late-draft decisions, including MarShawn Lloyd's upside, C.J. Stroud's bounce-back potential, George Kittle's value, Daniel Jones as a QB2, Jonathan Brooks, Christian Watson, Quentin Johnston and late-round quarterback fliers.

After the draft, the crew checks the FantasyPros draft grades, identifies the strongest roster builds, and explains what they would change if they could make their picks again. Most importantly, Rich and D-Bro explain why there isn't one universal Superflex quarterback strategy: understanding your league, anticipating QB runs, and knowing which quarterbacks you're comfortable targeting later can completely change how you should draft.

If you're preparing for a 2026 Superflex fantasy football draft, this mock gives you a round-by-round look at QB strategy, roster construction, sleepers, values, and how to react when the draft doesn't go according to plan.

Who are the hardest players to rank in 2026 fantasy football drafts?

Ryan Wormeli and Andrew Erickson were jojned by PFF's Nathan Jahnke to break down four of the most polarizing players on draft boards: Omarion Hampton, De'Von Achane, Rashee Rice, and Luther Burden III.

How high is Hampton's ceiling in a new-look Los Angeles Chargers offense with Justin Herbert? Can Achane overcome the uncertainty surrounding the Miami Dolphins and deliver another elite fantasy season? Is Rashee Rice still worth betting on as Patrick Mahomes' top wide receiver? And is Luther Burden III being drafted too aggressively after flashing major efficiency as a rookie?

Get the latest fantasy football rankings, ADP, draft strategy, sleepers, busts, and expert analysis to help you dominate your 2026 fantasy football draft.

Get ready for your 2026 fantasy football draft with a deep dive into the wide receiver rankings. Chris Welsh is joined by Pat Fitzmaurice and Pat Daugherty from Rotoworld to break down the biggest values, potential busts, breakout candidates, and sleepers at WR.

Is Rashee Rice being drafted too aggressively with the Kansas City Chiefs potentially shifting toward a more run-heavy offense? Is Malik Nabers actually undervalued after his ADP fell amid injury concerns? And can Davante Adams continue producing as a fantasy WR2, or are age, touchdown regression, and changes to the Rams offense pointing toward a decline?

Welsh, Fitzy, and Pat work through the FantasyPros Expert Consensus Rankings and identify the wide receivers they believe fantasy managers should be moving up, and down, their 2026 draft boards!

Ryan Wormeli is joined by Mitch Anderson and Justin Mello of the Lineup Fantasy Football Show to identify the WRs with the talent, opportunity and ADP to become major fantasy football draft values, and potentially league-winners.

The guys break down Christian Watson’s upside in Green Bay, why Ladd McConkey could explode in Mike McDaniel’s Chargers offense with Justin Herbert, whether Tetairoa McMillan can take another leap in Year 2, and why Parker Washington has become one of the hottest names in fantasy drafts.

They also make the case for rookie Carnell Tate, Josh Downs, Jalen Coker, Jameson Williams and 49ers rookie Dijon Stribling before explaining exactly what fantasy managers should look for when trying to identify the next breakout wide receiver.

Plus: Is Zay Flowers actually poised for a breakout with the Baltimore Ravens, or should fantasy managers target higher-upside WRs around his ADP?

Chris Welsh and Derek Brown were joined by The Athletic's Jake Ciely to break down the best early-round draft strategies, targets and roster builds for the 2026 season.

Should you leave the first four rounds with two running backs and two wide receivers? Is an RB-RB start the way to attack the back of Round 1? Or should you take advantage of elite WR value and adjust your strategy as the draft unfolds?

The guys build teams from different draft positions and debate some of the biggest names on 2026 fantasy football draft boards, including Ja'Marr Chase, Brock Bowers, James Cook, Chase Brown, Christian McCaffrey, Javonte Williams, Chris Olave, Jaylen Waddle, Emeka Egbuka and more.

Whether you're drafting from the beginning, middle or end of Round 1, use these strategies to build a championship-caliber roster.

JJ Zachariason joins Chris Welsh and Derek Brown for FantasyPros Fantasy Fest to break down four predictions that could completely reshape the 2026 fantasy football season.

Could Stefon Diggs AND Terry McLaurin both finish as top-24 wide receivers? Is Puka Nacua capable of averaging an incredible 26 PPR points per game? Could Malik Willis become a top-12 fantasy quarterback thanks to his rushing upside? And is Justin Jefferson actually at risk of finishing outside the top 20 wide receivers?

The guys dig into the stats, usage, ADP and historical trends behind each prediction before putting even more bold takes from the FantasyPros community to the test.

Plus, they finish with a rapid-fire injury round covering several other players who could impact your draft-day decisions.

Alfredo Brown, Tom Strachan and Derek Brown break down six players they keep drafting in 2026 fantasy football leagues because their current draft prices simply don't match their upside.

From Colston Loveland and Zay Flowers to Parker Washington, Tucker Kraft, Quentin Johnston and Tyler Allgeier, the guys break down why each player could outperform his current draft position and help you build a stronger fantasy roster.

They also discuss the roster construction that works best when you're targeting these players, which late-round values could turn into weekly starters, and why some of these ADPs may look very different once the 2026 season gets underway.

If you're getting ready for your fantasy football drafts, these are six names you'll want on your cheat sheet.

Chris Welsh, Derek Brown, Tera Roberts and the Fantasy Dude jump into the Fantasy Pros Draft Wizard for a full standard-league mock draft, looking for the biggest differences from PPR formats. The key theme throughout the draft is simple: touchdown equity matters.

The crew debates whether Derrick Henry belongs in the first round, why Saquon Barkley gets a boost, how to value running backs in a format where receptions don't count, and why players such as Kyren Williams, Javonte Williams and Mike Evans become especially intriguing.

They also dig into quarterback strategy, late-round RB values, Stefon Diggs as a potential steal, tight end targets, handcuffs, kicker and defense timing, and the best late-round sleepers.

If you're playing in a 2026 standard or non-PPR fantasy football league, this is a mock draft you don't want to miss.

Alfredo Brown, Derek Brown and Andrew Erickson break down their six favorite must-draft targets — players they’re willing to take ahead of ADP because they simply don’t want to miss out on them.

The guys start with Chase Brown, who could have legitimate top-three RB upside in Cincinnati, before diving into Jalen Waddle and why his move to Denver could unlock a much bigger fantasy season.

Then it’s time for Kenneth Walker, a player the guys believe could be one of the biggest league-winning picks of the 2026 fantasy football draft. They also identify three players outside the top 75 who could provide enormous value: Jonathan Brooks, Carnell Tate and Malik Willis.

If you're preparing for your 2026 fantasy football draft, these are the players to know, especially if you're looking for targets who can outperform their ADP.

Brock Bowers could take another massive step forward, Jonathan Brooks could emerge as Carolina's lead back, and Emeka Egbuka has a chance to become Tampa Bay's true WR1.

How should you approach a 2026 Superflex Best Ball draft?

Tom Strachan and Andrew Erickson react to the biggest fantasy football developments from the first full weekend of preseason action before completing a live 20-round draft in the FFPC Superflex Best Ball Tournament.

What is the best strategy for your 2026 fantasy football draft?

Seth Woolcock and Derek Brown answer listener questions live on FantasyPros Twitch, covering draft preparation, ideal draft positions, positional runs, ADP values, keeper decisions, auction strategy, dynasty trades, and late-round targets.

The guys explain how to prepare when you don’t know your draft position, whether James Cook should be selected over Justin Jefferson, how aggressively to draft Jonathon Brooks following Chuba Hubbard’s injury, and whether an RB-RB start makes sense in 2026.

They also discuss Kenneth Walker’s value, George Pickens versus Zay Flowers, Colston Loveland’s positional advantage, the best draft slots in 10- and 12-team leagues, late-round quarterback strategy, Jared Goff versus Joe Burrow, and how your approach should change in keeper, auction, guillotine, dynasty, shallow, and deep leagues.

Which fantasy football players are poised to break out in 2026? Chris Welsh, Andrew Erickson, and Establish The Run’s John Daigle use Vegas-implied team totals, offensive projections, ADP, advanced metrics, and projected roles to identify 10 breakout candidates to target in fantasy drafts.

The guys break down higher-cost breakout picks including Zay Flowers, Colston Loveland, Ladd McConkey, and Rome Odunze before finding mid-round values such as Mike Evans, Blake Corum, Rhamondre Stevenson, and Dalton Kincaid.

They also identify late-round upside plays De'Zhaun Stribling and Rashid Shaheed, plus deep fantasy football sleepers MaSshawn Lloyd and Nick Singleton.

Find out why Baltimore’s passing volume could increase, why Loveland can challenge the elite fantasy tight ends, how Mike McDaniel could unlock Ladd McConkey and Justin Herbert, why Corum can break out without replacing Kyren Williams, and which inexpensive players offer access to projected top-10 offenses.
