Week 1 of the 2026 NFL regular season is in the books, and Jeff Mans is here with a full recap and then some. He begins with some instant takeaways from all 32 NFL teams after their first game of the season and tackles some good, some bad, and some downright ugly performances. In order to put this first week into perspective, Jeff reviews who the top fantasy football scorers were over the last five seasons and where each of them wound up for the full season after the hot start. He then runs through the highest fantasy totals in week one among all players since 2000 and discusses how each fared in those seasons. As usual, Mans counts down his top 10 waiver wire pickups for this week and offers some advice on how to handle roster moves this early in the season. Jeff also addresses the FanDuel outage last Sunday morning and is confused about why he somehow became somebody who was being blamed for it. This leads to an open conversation about why the MansCave Discord room at Fantasy Guru went premium this season and the current climate between analyst and user. It's a possible Super Bowl preview on Thursday Night Football this week too, and Mans gives out his best bet for the Lions at Bills in Buffalo's brand-new stadium.

The big news in the NFL this week is the Vikings naming Kyler Murray as their week one starting QB. Jeff Mans starts out with his reaction to that news and what's in store for the rest of the Vikings offense this season. Jeff also recaps some of the bigger injuries across NFL Training Camp, including Luther Burden III, Puka Nacua, and a pair of offensive tackles we need to keep our eyes on. Then it is time for Mans to reveal his 2026 fantasy football do-not-draft list, which he does on a position-by-position basis. In total, there are 20 NFL players that Mans is fading going into this season, but as he says, it is all about the cost, not necessarily about the player. He also has a big announcement about fantasy football training camp over at FantasyGuru.com coming up on August 21st and ways to get a ticket to compete against the experts in a season-long competition.

Jeff Mans' 2026 fantasy football draft plan, or his “MANS-ifesto,” is live on the Fantasy Guru dot com site right now. This week he takes us through an audio version of that lengthy article and explains the teams that he drafted in his “perfect draft” compared to the 2026 All-Mans Team. Jeff takes us through 16 rounds of fantasy football ADP and reveals his top goals, targets, values, players with most upside, biggest risks, and the players he is not drafting in that range. He also reveals the draft pockets for each round while making his picks for each “league.” It's the inner workings of a true fantasy football craftsman doing his work. Mans also has some training camp updates, including his thoughts on Parker Washington, Cyrus Allen, Ja'Kobi Lane, TreVeyon Henderson, and Travis Kelce. He also goes line by line through the absurd amount of 49ers injuries and identifies where we can take advantage this season.

Normally, his voice can be heard from atop the tallest mountain, but this week, Jeff Mans is as quiet as a church mouse due to a battle with laryngitis. Despite the illness, however, he is battling through to provide a quick breakdown of some of his favorite players for fantasy football this season. This week, Mans uses the information that he learned writing the NFL Coaching Breakdowns on Fantasy Guru dot com to reveal some of his favorite late and super late players at each skill position. For QB, RB, WR, TE, kicker, and DST, Jeff provides at least one of his favorite deep sleepers (rounds 8+) and at least one of his super deep sleepers (rounds 12+). He discusses how each player's skillset fits the offense and breaks down their path to fantasy production in 2026. Please excuse the raspiness of his voice this week, but for those who love it, Jeff Mans is for hire for birthday parties, bar mitzvahs, and holiday get-togethers for a nominal fee while supplies last.

Earlier in the week, Jeff Mans took a phone call from “Wayne” on the Elite Sports Show, and that caller's request became the subject of this week's show. Thus, Mans went back and revisited his 2025 Fantasy Football MANSifesto on Fantasy Guru dot com to see just how well or not well the advice turned out to be. In that article, Jeff drafted two separate teams based on his beliefs back in July of 2025. How did those two teams perform when plugged into a simulator? Mans reveals those results, including playoff advancement rate and championships won here. He also goes over every single player at every single position that he recommended to target and fade at their cost. There were some great hits, one legendary miss, and a ton of useful information that can help us make better decisions in 2026. Jeff also covers some of the latest news around the NFL, including the league shutting out Texas Tech QB Branden Sorsby.

Jeff Mans is live on tape from the beach, and even though he is not on the radio this week, he's still providing that deep diving fantasy football content right here. This week, Jeff is revealing all of the new upgrades he and the team have been working on over at Fantasy Guru dot com in anticipation of the launch of the 2026 Draft Guide. Mans has a strong warning concerning fantasy football content creators and engagement farmers after his interaction with one this week that was blindly misleading people with full-on fake statistics. That interaction leads to a much more honest look at how to analyze rookies. He looks back at the 2025 rookie ADP and notes the hits and misses from a year ago. Then Jeff reviews the top 20 fantasy football rookie seasons ever and discusses what led to each of those players' breakouts. Then it is time to get dirty by going in the trenches and breaking down which NFL teams have made the biggest upgrades and downgrades along their offensive lines this offseason.

With so many dynasty leagues having their rookie drafts immediately after the NFL Draft, Jeff Mans felt it was the right time to reveal his 2026 rookie fantasy football rankings this week. These all can be found on the Fantasy Guru website, of course, but in this episode, Jeff breaks down exactly how to handle a weak class of NFL rookies and which traits to look for when searching for fantasy production. He expresses how league formats matter because those who are playing in a Superflex and/or an IDP league will find this rookie class much better than those in skill-position-only league setups. Mans also reveals how two of his dynasty league drafts have gone so far, including who he landed on for his first pick in each league. Also, Jeff discusses how different the NBA betting scene is now in the playoffs and wonders why every professional sport is addicted to resting players at every possible opportunity.
