The Portfolio Review returns for Week 1 with a full sweep across every format — GPPs on DraftKings and FanDuel, Survivor pools, Best Ball exposure checks (Eliminator and BBM), a deep Utilization Report of Week 1 usage, and an MNF showdown preview. Tony Squares then joins for the first-ever Ts & Ps Guillotine league review where I might just be the first one chopped.

Right now, before a single snap has been played in Week 1, your fantasy football waiver wire is the most wide open it will be all season. Nobody has panicked yet. Nobody has dropped anybody. This is the window. Kendall Valenzuela, Dwain McFarland and Peter Overzet each bring four moves to make before Week 1 kicks off — real adds and stashes on players who are still sitting on waivers in most leagues. Dwain goes to Terrance Ferguson, who could climb into top-12 tight end territory if he has a real role in Los Angeles, then Ja'Kobi Lane, and closes with a genuine sicko stash between Demond Claiborne and Kaytron Allen. Pete makes the case for a rookie receiver stash with Ted Hurst, Antonio Williams and Chris Bell, then Kaleb Johnson, then a Chargers tight end between Oronde Gadsden and Charlie Kolar. Kendall goes rookie running back with Jonah Coleman and Nicholas Singleton, then Malik Davis, then Malachi Fields. Every add comes with Fantasy Life's Week 1 projections — targets, receptions, yards, and the bust, median and ceiling outcomes — so you know exactly what you're rostering and what the range looks like. Then the back half flips to Utilization Mad Libs: the players they still have real questions about, and precisely what usage would change their minds. If Dalton Kincaid runs 80% of routes, he moves into the top eight tight ends. If Makai Lemon runs 85%, he becomes a WR3 with upside. If Jordan Mason takes a 60% rush share, he's a low-end RB2. Those are the exact numbers to watch on Sunday, and knowing them ahead of time is how you get to the wire before everyone else. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

No ADP. No rankings. Just doing a fantasy football draft where we get sixteen picks of players we actually want to root for in 2026 fantasy football. For the final draft of the 2026 preseason, Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet threw out the board and ran an Underdog best ball draft on one rule: only take guys you genuinely love. The result is a roster that would horrify a projections model and might just win the whole thing. It opens with Omarion Hampton and Saquon Barkley, then a receiver room built entirely on conviction — Garrett Wilson, Luther Burden, Rome Odunze, Michael Pittman Jr., Xavier Worthy and Tre Harris. Tyler Warren at tight end. Justin Herbert under center, with Aaron Rodgers and Geno Smith stacked behind him. And a backfield of Rico Dowdle, Tyler Allgeier, Keaton Mitchell and Tank Bigsby that is either a masterclass in contingent value or a complete disaster, depending on how the season breaks. They explain every pick as they make it — why this player over the guy going ten spots later, where the ADP says they're reaching, and which of these they'd defend even if it costs them the week. If you've spent all August drafting scared, this is the palate cleanser.

Alex Cupps Interview | Fantasy Football Unlimited Podcast Alex Cupps is one of the newest rising voices in the fantasy football industry—and his journey is just getting started. On this episode of the Fantasy Football Unlimited Podcast, Alex joins Kevin Murray to share his story, from his early love of sports and fantasy football to earning his master's degree in Data Science, creating the CUPPS Model, winning Peter Overzet's "So You Think You Can Tout," and joining the team at Fantasy Life. Alex shares how fantasy football became the focus of his master's thesis at UC Riverside and eventually led to the creation of the Calculated Upside Player Prospecting System (CUPPS), a machine-learning model designed to identify NFL prospects with high fantasy football upside. He also takes us behind the scenes of his rapid rise as a fantasy football content creator, including competing against a field of 135 applicants in "So You Think You Can Tout," winning the competition, and the unforgettable moment Matthew Berry surprised him with the news that he would be joining Fantasy Life. Topics include:

This is the last time these fantasy football tight end rankings change before Week 1.Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet go through Fantasy Life's final preseason tight end rankings and stop on the names where the room genuinely disagrees.Both tiers come with the full consensus list plus each player's highest and lowest rank across the staff, so you can see exactly where the confidence is and where it isn't.The top twelve starts with the hardest question at the position: one tight end outscored the TE2 by 105 PPR points last season and is still ranked behind him.How confident should you actually be in that call? Then whether a rookie's late-season surge carries into a full year, whether elite target-earning can protect a tight end from bad quarterback play, and why a veteran making the trip to Australia for Week 1 might be the cleanest edge available in drafts this weekend.The TE2 range gets into two former top-12 tight ends with a real case to still be there, and closes with each of them naming a favorite late-round stab — which at this position, where the drop-off after the top few is brutal, is where most drafts actually get decided.

This is the last time these fantasy football quarterback rankings change before Week 1.Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet go through Fantasy Life's final preseason quarterback rankings and stop on the names where the room genuinely disagrees. Both tiers come with the full consensus list plus each player's highest and lowest rank across the staff, so you can see exactly where the confidence is and where it isn't.The top twelve opens with the question that decides your whole draft approach at the position: do you spend a second or third-round pick on one of the two elite options, or do you wait entirely? Then a look at why a pure pocket passer is ranked ahead of quarterbacks with far more rushing upside.Then the strangest number on the board — a quarterback who was the QB1 in points per game from Week 5 on last season and still lands at QB9 in these rankings. And a head-to-head between two pocket passers going within a few picks of each other.The QB2 range gets into the two quarterbacks who have a real case for the top twelve and didn't make it, and closes with each of them naming a favorite late-round stab at the position — which, in a year where you can wait this long, is where most people should actually be shopping.

Join them for an episode packed with nuanced takes and actionable advice for the upcoming season. --

This is the last time these fantasy football wide receiver rankings change before Week 1.Kendall Valenzuela, Dwain McFarland and Peter Overzet go through Fantasy Life's final preseason wide receiver rankings, all 48 of them, and stop on the names where the room genuinely disagrees. Every tier comes with the full consensus list plus each player's highest and lowest rank across the staff, so you can see exactly where the confidence is and where it isn't.The top twelve gets into whether there's regression coming for a WR3 who just lost his offensive coordinator, whether a new quarterback puts a former overall WR1 back on top, and whether the biggest value on the entire board is sitting right at the 2-3 turn.The WR2 range is where the injury news reshapes things. A receiver whose target competition just landed on IR for at least four games, a player traded into a much better offense who nobody seems to have noticed, and a head-to-head on which of two banged-up receivers is actually worth drafting.The back half is where drafts get won. Whether a crumbling backfield in Green Bay bumps a receiver up the board, whether a veteran resurgence in Buffalo is being ignored, and how high is too high for the player every analyst in the industry seems to love. They close with the San Francisco depth chart question and each of them naming a favorite late-round receiver to target — which, in a year this deep at the position, might be the most useful two minutes of the show.

This is the last time these fantasy football running back rankings change before Week 1.Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet go through Fantasy Life's final preseason running back rankings, all 48 of them, and stop on the names where the room genuinely disagrees. Every tier comes with the full consensus list plus each player's highest and lowest rank across the staff, so you can see exactly where the confidence is and where it isn't.The top twelve opens with the debate that decides the 1.01, and whether it actually matters as much as everyone thinks. Then the widest disagreement on the entire board — one back the staff has anywhere from RB4 to RB12, an eight-spot spread on a player people are taking in the second round. And a confidence check on the back who's settled in at RB11 after an injury scare: would you really be comfortable if he were the only running back you took in the first three rounds?The RB2 range brings a rookie coming off a high ankle sprain, a veteran the guys may have ranked too low given the situation ahead of him, and another enormous spread — a starting back the staff has between RB19 and RB27.The back half is where drafts are actually won. A Packers back whose stock moved when Josh Jacobs landed on the Commissioner's Exempt List, the real answer in the New England backfield, whether Jacory Croskey-Merritt ends up leading Washington, and the Minnesota split between Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones. They close by each naming their favorite handcuff to draft this year — which, in a season this thin at the position, might be the most useful two minutes of the show.

Ashton Jeanty went down in practice, and while it looks better than the initial fear, he is nowhere near the only problem on draft boards right now.Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet go through twelve of the most heavily drafted players currently dealing with injuries and rate exactly how panicked they are about each one, on a scale of 1 to 10.Jeanty's sprained ankle and the question of whether Mike Washington has become a must-draft handcuff. Mike Evans leaving practice early with a quad. Tucker Kraft's ACL recovery and a possible first-half snap count. Jordyn Tyson looking at two months with a hamstring. Emeka Egbuka's toe and a Week 1 availability question. Alec Pierce still on PUP with no timeline. Luther Burden missing all of preseason with a groin. And the ripple effect of Jayden Higgins' torn ACL sending Kayshon Boutte to Houston.Then they flip the scale. Four players have gotten genuinely encouraging news, and the question becomes how optimistic you should actually be: George Kittle activated from PUP, Christian McCaffrey back at practice after sitting out with tightness, Patrick Mahomes calling himself extremely confident for Week 1, and Malik Nabers possibly shedding the red non-contact jersey this week.Some of these are worth moving down your board today. Some are noise that other people in your league will overreact to, which is where the value is. Every player gets a number, and Fantasy Life projections for the situations where the backup suddenly matters.

Last year Ashton Jeanty finished as the RB15 at 14.4 PPR points per game. You drafted him as the RB6. This year he's going as the RB7 or RB8 — so you're paying nearly the same price for a player who hasn't yet paid it off. Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet are joined by Fantasy Life's Alex Cupps, who built a model that predicts second-year breakouts. Alex explains what the CUPPS Score actually measures, what goes into it and how accurate it's been historically — in sixty seconds or less — and then they run nine of his favorite year-two players at their current ADPs.Jeanty goes first, and his closest historical comps include Bijan Robinson, Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, Jahmyr Gibbs and Breece Hall alongside considerably less encouraging names like Javonte Williams and Kerryon Johnson. From there it's Cam Skattebo, Bhayshul Tuten, Harold Fannin, Travis Hunter, Oronde Gadsden, Terrance Ferguson and the Titans' second-year receiver room with Chimere Dike and Elic Ayomanor.Every player gets the same treatment: the model's closest comps, what those comps actually did in year two, and the median points per game that group produced. Some of these numbers are a lot higher than the market price. Some are a lot lower. If you've been guessing on which sophomores are worth the pick, this replaces the guess with a comp set.

Everyone has a list of 2026 breakout candidates. Almost nobody puts a number on how confident they actually are.Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet take the most popular breakout names in fantasy football and rate each one from 1 to 10 on how likely they are to genuinely break out — with a strict definition: a breakout means you'll be drafting that player at least one full tier higher next season. And Pete is only allowed to give one player a 10 all episode.They work through Luther Burden, Emeka Egbuka, Tetairoa McMillan, Bhayshul Tuten, Jonathon Brooks, Parker Washington, Ladd McConkey, Josh Downs and Matthew Golden, then move to quarterback with Jaxson Dart and Bo Nix before closing on tight end with Kenyon Sadiq. Every player comes with Fantasy Life's projections and the second-half splits that show whether the leap already started last season.The scores get contentious. There are multiple players where Kendall and Pete are four full points apart, and at least one name where one of them is completely out on a consensus favorite. If you've been staring at a breakout list wondering which names are real, this puts a number on all of them.

Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet count down the 10 biggest wide receiver values in 2026 fantasy football — the guys where Fantasy Life's rankings are furthest ahead of where the rest of the industry is drafting them. Every name comes with the actual gap: our rank versus ESPN, Yahoo, Sleeper, Underdog and RT Sports ADP, so you can see exactly how much free value you're getting at each pick.The list runs from a five-spot edge all the way up to a 21-spot gap on the No. 1 value, and the names span every round of your draft. Malik Nabers, DeVonta Smith and Mike Evans are all going later than they should be. Jordyn Tyson, Christian Watson and Jayden Reed are the mid-round swings.

Episode 364: Hall of Fame: 1980’s Action Movies This week, Chris and Derek debut a new segment on the show: the Hall of Fame. The initial instalment focuses on 1980’s action movies. The guys each present their top 10 list. They then whittle the list down to 5. Then, they debate and vote until a number 1 pick emerges. This is declared the ‘Hall of Fame’ inductee in that category. For the “Fun with Caveman” segment of the show, Chris has Derek play a round of ‘Pick the Flick’ where Derek has to guess the titles of lesser-known 80’s action movies.

Training camps are opening across the NFL — the perfect time to get caught up on every player in a new place and what it means for fantasy football. Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet tier rank every fantasy-relevant player who moved this offseason — free agents, trades, and rookies — grading each landing spot on how much we love the fit, from S-Tier (Match Made in Heaven) all the way to F-Tier (Hate Everything About It). Can Kyler Murray revive his fantasy value in Minnesota? Is Kenneth Walker set up to smash in Kansas City? Should A.J. Brown managers be excited about being in New England — and what do we make of Jaylen Waddle in Denver, Mike Evans in San Francisco, and DJ Moore in Buffalo? Plus the rookie landing spots we can't stop thinking about: Jeremiyah Love in Arizona, Jadarian Price in Seattle, Carnell Tate in Tennessee, Jordyn Tyson in New Orleans, and more. Whether you're just getting back into fantasy mode after the offseason or you want to know exactly who to watch as camp battles heat up, this is your one-stop recap before draft season arrives.

Training camp is almost here — and it's going to answer the biggest questions hanging over 2026 fantasy football drafts. Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet are joined by Zain Dhanani to break down the biggest mysteries that could be solved during NFL training camps, and what each answer would mean for your draft board. Where will Stefon Diggs and Deebo Samuel actually land? What will the Bhayshul Tuten and Chris Rodriguez split really look like? Who's the WR1 in Jacksonville — and how involved will Travis Hunter be? Plus: the Commanders backfield puzzle, whether it's time to come back around on Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason, the Jaylen Warren–Rico Dowdle split in Pittsburgh, and whether Jadarian Price can claim the RB1 job in Seattle. Then Zain takes the Hot Seat for rapid-fire, on-the-spot fantasy questions. Get ahead of the market before camp news breaks — because that's when the biggest ADP moves of the summer happen.

Amanda Peet is in the new film ‘Fantasy Life' and the series ‘Your Friends & Neighbors.' In a recent piece in ‘The New Yorker,' she wrote about being diagnosed with breast cancer while both of her parents were in hospice. “I didn't really have that ‘why me?' thing. Maybe because I am Jewish and am always waiting for that other shoe to drop. In this case it was three shoes,” she told Terry Gross. Also, we'll talk about Toni Morrison with Harvard professor Namwali Serpell. She says no matter how many times she returns to Morrison's work, she finds something new.  She's still haunted by the last sentence of the novel ‘Sula.' “When that sentence comes into my life, whether I'm reading it to teach, whether I'm rereading it to write, whether I'm reading it out loud, even just now, tears always spring to my eyes," Serpell says. She spoke with Tonya Mosley.   David Bianculli reviews the new Apple TV series ‘Margo's Got Money Troubles.'See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Amanda Peet is always waiting for the other shoe to drop. Except last year there seemed to be three different shoes, as she faced her parents' deaths and a breast cancer diagnosis. Peet spoke with Terry Gross about her “Season of Ativan,” navigating middle age in Hollywood, and her memories of Diane Keaton from the set of ‘Something's Gotta Give.' Peet stars in the new film ‘Fantasy Life' and in the Apple TV series ‘Your Friends & Neighbors,' now in its second season. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy
