Our PRESEASON WATCH LIST kicks off with a full tour of the NFC North, as Sigmund Bloom and Cecil Lammey break down the biggest fantasy and NFL storylines you need to track before training camp. Can Caleb Williams take the next step and enter true superstar territory in 2026. The Bears have surrounded him with talent — now it's time to see if he becomes the kind of QB who tilts the entire division. Are the Detroit Lions slipping out of their Super Bowl window. After two years of pushing chips in, Bloom and Cecil examine whether the roster is still ascending… or quietly plateauing. Do the Packers have a fantasy sleeper at running back. Marshawn Lloyd might be the most explosive RB on the roster — and fantasy GMs need to know his name before August drafts. And in Minnesota, Kyler Murray is the favorite to win the QB battle. If he does, what does that mean for the fantasy value of Justin Jefferson. Could this be the best QB‑WR pairing Jefferson has ever had. Bloom and Cecil hit every angle — fantasy, film, roster construction, and preseason expectations — as the NFC North sets the stage for one of the most unpredictable seasons in years.

On this episode of The Audible, Sigmund Bloom and Cecil Lammey break down their favorite sleeper running backs heading into training camp — because every fantasy GM knows the right backup RB can win you a league. The Seahawks backfield is crowded, but George Holani is a sleeper in a different way — efficient, versatile, and quietly positioned for real touches if the depth chart shakes loose. In Green Bay, a finally healthy Marshawn Lloyd might be the most explosive sleeper on the board. If he stays upright, he could carve out a role that surprises fantasy managers. And don't overlook Kansas City. Rookie Emmett Johnson is a player to watch — smooth runner, natural hands, and in a backfield where opportunity always finds talent. Plus more under‑the‑radar RBs who could become league‑winners if the right break goes their way.

Ryan has been a dynasty football manager and commissioner for over 20 years and is one of the main analysts at the first strictly dynasty fantasy football community - DLF.

On this episode of On the Couch, Sigmund Bloom sits down with Patrick Daugherty to dig into one of the most important — and misunderstood — questions in football: Are NFL general managers actually getting better… or are we just grading them on vibes and results. Pat's annual GM rankings spark a wide‑ranging conversation about team‑building, risk‑taking, politics inside front offices, and how fantasy managers can learn from the best (and worst) decision‑makers in the league. From blockbuster trades to quiet roster construction, Bloom and Pat break down what separates the sharp GMs from the ones who are just surviving. This one goes deep — team philosophy, talent evaluation, organizational psychology, and how all of it trickles down to fantasy football strategy.   watch on YouTube -> https://youtube.com/live/uk8W88gMTDQ   ⏱️ Timestamps 00:00 — Is John Schneider coming for Howie Roseman's crown 05:00 — Will the AJ Brown trade go down as a Howie masterstroke 10:09 — Is AJ Brown going to be happy in New England 13:08 — Does losing AJ Brown expose Jalen Hurts 19:13 — Why Monti Ossenfort ranks dead last 27:21 — What we know (and don't know) about the three new NFL GMs 32:06 — Does the Myles Garrett trade redeem the Ty Simpson pick for the Rams 38:29 — Why great NFL and fantasy GMs must take risks 43:40 — Why political GMs might actually be the worst GMs

In This Episode: On this edition of The Audible, Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom break down the NFC West's 2026 NFL Draft, a division that delivered one of the wildest mixes of brilliance, confusion, and long‑term gambles. The Arizona Cardinals may have landed a future superstar in RB Jeremiyah Love, a dynamic, explosive runner who could become the focal point of their offense sooner than expected. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Rams left everyone scratching their heads after drafting QB Ty Simpson in the first round — a move that raises more questions than answers about their direction and timeline. Up in Seattle, the Seahawks grabbed Jadarian Price, a smooth, versatile back who might be the perfect replacement for Kenneth Walker. And in San Francisco, the conversation turns to John Lynch — is he actually good at drafting, or is the roster carrying the reputation.   watch on YouTube -> https://youtu.be/TgIZesCOsgU 

In This Episode: Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom turn their attention to the AFC West as they break down how the 2026 NFL Draft reshaped one of the league's most competitive divisions. Did the Denver Broncos land a future star in RB Jonah Coleman, a back Cecil believes could become the centerpiece of Sean Payton's offense. Over in Las Vegas, the Raiders hit the reset button with Fernando Mendoza, the No. 1 overall pick — but can he finally give them the franchise quarterback they've been chasing for two decades. The Kansas City Chiefs made calculated moves to rebound from a down year, but did they add enough immediate impact to reclaim control of the division. And the Los Angeles Chargers quietly built a class that could pay off sooner than people think — but will it be enough to keep pace with the AFC West arms race.   watch on YouTube -> https://youtu.be/tN3ZCWQd7iA 

In This Episode: On this edition of The Audible, Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom break down the NFC South's 2026 NFL Draft — a division that delivered surprises, steals, and some head‑scratchers. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may have found one of the draft's true sleepers in WR Ted Hurst, a smooth separator with big‑play upside who could crack the rotation sooner than expected. The New Orleans Saints swung big and landed what some evaluators call the best wide receiver in the entire class in Jordyn Tyson, giving their offense a potential star. The Atlanta Falcons played it safe with a conservative, almost boring draft — but was it quietly effective. And the Carolina Panthers focused on defense, but did they add enough impact talent to actually move the needle in a division that's getting faster and more explosive.     watch on YouTube -> https://youtu.be/ba9WquO6NuU 

In This Episode: On this edition of The Audible, Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom turn their focus to the AFC South and how the 2026 NFL Draft reshaped a division loaded with young quarterbacks and evolving identities. The Houston Texans doubled down on their strength, adding even more defensive firepower to a unit that already carried them in 2025. Did they just build the nastiest young defense in the conference. The Jacksonville Jaguars took a different path, grabbing not one but TWO intriguing tight ends, giving their offense new flexibility and giving Cam Ward's rival Trevor Lawrence more matchup‑friendly options. And speaking of Ward — the Tennessee Titans may have found his new favorite target in Carnell Tate, a polished, explosive wideout who could step in as an immediate go‑to weapon. Meanwhile, the Colts made moves that signal where their long‑term roster build is headed. Every team added talent — but which one actually changed its trajectory.   watch on YouTube -> https://youtu.be/vOeCA_iSKLQ 

In This Episode: On this edition of The Audible, Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom dive into the NFC East's 2026 NFL Draft results — a division that delivered surprises, steals, and some of the smartest roster construction of the entire weekend. The Dallas Cowboys put together one of their most disciplined, value‑driven drafts in years, addressing needs without reaching and stacking long‑term contributors. But the headline moment came when the Philadelphia Eagles stole USC WR Makai Lemon right out from under the Steelers, adding a dynamic playmaker who fits perfectly into their evolving passing attack. The New York Giants and Washington Commanders each made moves that signal where their rebuilds are headed — but who actually improved the most.   watch on YouTube -> https://youtu.be/nlFBkDSj_uo 

In This Episode: On this edition of The Audible, Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom dive into the AFC East's 2026 NFL Draft results and what they mean for one of the league's most volatile divisions. The New York Jets walked away with one of the best draft classes in the league, stacking three first‑round picks — including EDGE David Bailey, TE Kenyon Sadiq, and WR Omar Cooper Jr. — in a haul that earned them an A grade and a wave of national praise. But even with a strong draft, the Jets still have a long climb before they can truly compete in the division's upper tier.  The Buffalo Bills, meanwhile, drew criticism with a D+ grade, leaving many wondering whether they did enough to stay competitive after a shaky season. The Patriots and Dolphins each made moves that fit their long‑term plans, but the question remains: who actually improved the most, and who left the draft with more questions than answers.    watch on YouTube -> https://youtu.be/8uHK24yOB28 

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.   watch on YouTube -> https://youtu.be/EjyeQFVAbzg 

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.   watch on YouTube -> https://youtu.be/nvtNETYl5ss
