Podcasts about rb2

Kendall Valenzuela, Dwain McFarland and Peter Overzet go through the fantasy football players whose stock actually moved after Week 1 — and more importantly, the specific utilization behind each move. Christian Watson climbs to a mid-range WR2 and Matthew Golden to a high-end WR3 in a Green Bay offense that suddenly looks settled. Ashton Jeanty is a high-end RB1. Parker Washington is a low-end WR2 on a route share that could still grow. And Dalton Kincaid moves into the TE7-to-TE9 range. Then the part your league isn't thinking about yet. Colston Loveland led every tight end in route participation at 89% and produced almost nothing — is that a buy? D'Andre Swift massively outperformed his usage — is that a sell, and what should you be asking for? And Rhamondre Stevenson, where the gap between role and result points somewhere specific. They also play Dwain-Libs on the thresholds that would move players again this week: what route share makes Christian Watson a WR1, what gets Parker Washington to a low-end WR1, what makes Isaiah Likely a mid-range TE1, and what rush share turns Jadarian Price into a mid-range RB2. Those are the exact numbers to watch on Sunday. And they close with three adds to make before your league-mates get there — Dwain on Elijah Sarratt, Pete on Emmett Johnson, Kendall on Antonio Williams.

Chris Welsh, Pat Fitzmaurice, and Andrew Erickson break down the biggest Week 2 running back ranking decisions, including which early-season workloads you can trust and where matchup concerns should change your expectations. Kenneth Walker’s expanded role takes center stage, while the guys also debate how much confidence to have in De’Von Achane, Bucky Irving, and several volatile RB2 and flex options. Plus, they identify a few deeper running backs who could outperform consensus and help fantasy managers navigate difficult Week 2 lineup calls.

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

The Detroit Lions built their 53 around an attacking defense and flexible offense. They kept waves of defensive linemen to stunt and overload, and they set a short-term interior offensive line and running back plan until injuries clear. Jacob Saylors is RB2 while Isaiah Pacheco is on IR for the first four games. What does the 53-man roster say about the Lions identity on defense? The Lions will attack with multiple fronts and pressure packages. As Scott Bischoff said, Detroit showed overloaded looks and disruptive stunts in the preseason, a clear shift from a static approach. Defensive end Aidan Hutchinson, Detroit Lions, headlines a deep edge group with edge rusher Derrick Moore, Detroit Lions, and interior disruptors like defensive tackle Alim McNeill, Detroit Lions, and defensive tackle Skyler Gill-Howard, Detroit Lions. Safety Chuck Clark, Detroit Lions, benefits from faster pressure, as do safety Avonte Maddox, Detroit Lions, safety Christian Izien, Detroit Lions, and cornerback Ennis Rakestraw, Detroit Lions. With linebacker Jack Campbell, Detroit Lions, plus linebackers Derrick Barnes, Detroit Lions, Malcolm Rodriguez, Detroit Lions, and Jimmy Rolder, Detroit Lions, Aaron Glenn can roll 4-2-5, five-man fronts, and creative mug looks to speed up quarterbacks. How will the offensive line function until Cade Mays returns? Center Juice Scruggs, Detroit Lions, starts for now, and the group will grow its chemistry week to week. Scott Bischoff emphasized the interior timing changes with different centers and how the run game timing will evolve, then stabilize when Cade Mays returns. The projected five: left tackle Penei Sewell, Detroit Lions, left guard Christian Mahogany, Detroit Lions, center Juice Scruggs, Detroit Lions, right guard Tate Ratledge, Detroit Lions, and right tackle Blake Miller, Detroit Lions. Depth includes center Seth McLaughlin, Detroit Lions, and swing tackle Larry Borom, Detroit Lions. Russell Brown noted the staff's confidence in line coach Hank Fraley's cross-training, with Scruggs and McLaughlin keeping protections functional until Mays is back. Who is RB2 and what happens while Isaiah Pacheco is on IR? Running back Jacob Saylors, Detroit Lions, is RB2 behind running back Jahmyr Gibbs, Detroit Lions, while running back Isaiah Pacheco, Detroit Lions, is on IR for the first four games. Russell Brown noted Dan Campbell has said he is comfortable with Saylors in that role. Russell Brown also questioned how running back Sione Vaki, Detroit Lions, will be used, since his preseason work skewed to special teams. Scott Bischoff floated a short-term depth addition if needed, especially for fourth-quarter carries in games where Detroit protects leads. How will Detroit balance a light WR room with tight ends? Detroit will flex tight ends to cover WR4/WR5 duties. As Scott Bischoff laid out, tight end Jackson Meeks, Detroit Lions, can split out as a de facto fifth receiver in 12 or 13 personnel, letting tight end Sam LaPorta, Detroit Lions, play a full combo role while tight end Brock Wright, Detroit Lions, handles more in-line work. Tight end Tyler Conklin, Detroit Lions, offers additional versatility. Wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown, Detroit Lions, and wide receiver Jameson Williams, Detroit Lions, headline a lean WR group with wide receiver Tay Martin, Detroit Lions, rounding it out. The structure fits Detroit Lions Podcast recurring themes: multiple tight ends, motion, pin-and-pull, duo, and varied route families that keep the ball moving without needing six traditional wide receivers. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #jaredgoff #jahmyrgibbs #amon-rast.brown #samlaporta #peneisewell #jackcampbell #aidanhutchinson #brianbranch #kirbyjoseph #juicescruggs #tateratledge #blakemiller #chuckclark #avontemaddox #christianizien Learn more about your ad choices.

The Detroit Lions will lean on a fierce defensive line and Dan Campbell's back-to-basics reset to cover a thin secondary in Week 1 at the New Orleans Saints. Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff is the roster's oldest player at 31, the team is younger, and Jameson Williams is primed for a massive year, but RB2 remains unsettled. Did Dan Campbell's reset make the Detroit Lions better right now? Yes, the focus shift worked. Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell cut the noise, scrapped joint practices, mixed select veterans into preseason snaps, and built one of the NFL's youngest rosters. As Michael Grey noted, Jared Goff is the oldest Lion at 31, and the roster is young, hungry and healthy. Campbell emphasized 2022 and 2023 habits, eliminated the distraction of joint-practice fights, and refused to be held hostage by reputations. The result is a locked-in group headed to Week 1 in New Orleans. Can the defensive line save a depleted secondary? Yes, the front is built to drive the defense while the back end stabilizes. Detroit enters without a true nose tackle, instead loading up on twitchy, package-ready linemen who can create havoc. Three of the four expected starters in the secondary are out, including Detroit Lions safety Brian Branch and Detroit Lions safety Kirby Joseph, and Terrion Arnold sits on the commissioner's exempt list. As Michael Grey said, “the secondary is easily the weakest position group on the team, period, full stop.” Detroit Lions defensive end Aidan Hutchinson needs help, and Detroit added it with Detroit Lions edge rusher DJ Wonnum and Detroit Lions edge Ahmed Hassanein at big end, plus a healthy Detroit Lions defensive tackle Alim McNeill. With more nickel and dime on deck and fewer three-linebacker sets, the pass rush must drive stops while Detroit Lions linebacker Jack Campbell anchors the second level. Is it finally Jameson Williams season in Detroit? Yes, and the production is already there. Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams stacked back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons, including 1,117 yards last year, and he dominated camp. His stop route on the boundary is shredding defenders, and the trust with Jared Goff is carved in stone. Jared Goff has repeatedly praised Williams' growth over the past seasons, and Williams' sideline leadership with the receiver room showed up all preseason. Expect the staff to feature him from Week 1 rather than forgetting him for a month and a half as Michael Grey criticized last year. What is the RB2 plan and how does Drew Petzing fit with Jared Goff? RB2 is unresolved, and protecting Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs' workload is non-negotiable. Detroit needs a committee to siphon roughly ten carries and snaps so Jahmyr Gibbs can be deployed in routes, in the slot, and on designed passes without overuse. On the headset, Detroit Lions offensive coordinator Drew Petzing is learning the Lions' language from Jared Goff. As Michael Grey relayed, Jared Goff explained that Petzing is being taught the offense and will build from it, which makes Jared Goff's experience and communication invaluable to the play-caller. The mandate is clear: feature Jahmyr Gibbs and Jameson Williams, let the D-line drive the defense, and ride the culture reset into Week 1. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #jaredgoff #jamesonwilliams #dancampbell #aidanhutchinson #brianbranch #kirbyjoseph #djwonnum #ahmedhassanein #aleemmcneill #jackcampbell #drewpetzing #neworleanssaints #detroitlionsdefensiveline #nickeldefense #dimepackage Learn more about your ad choices.

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.

The Chicago Bears' first padded training-camp practice delivered major performances, growing position battles and a devastating setback for the secondary.On today's episode of Chicago Bears Central, Haize reacts to the latest update on safety Coby Bryant, who is expected to miss approximately eight to ten weeks after suffering a left-leg injury during one-on-one drills. Bryant was visibly emotional before leaving practice on a cart, and his absence could extend into the regular season.The injury places even more pressure on a secondary already missing Kyler Gordon and Elijah Hicks, while Terell Smith also exited Monday's practice. Cam Lewis moved into the starting safety role alongside rookie Dillon Thieneman, with Jaylon Jones returning to the first-team nickel position.There was encouraging news elsewhere, as Kyle Monangai returned in full pads after missing three practices with a soft-tissue injury. Chicago's expected RB2 appears to be ramping back toward full strength.

Detroit Lions Prepping For Camp The quietest part of the NFL calendar rarely stays quiet for long. With training camp roughly 10 days away, the Detroit Lions have entered the final stretch before the real evaluations begin. The roster is largely set, the offseason program is complete, and every conversation now shifts toward one question: what are we about to learn once the pads come on? On this week's Detroit Lions Podcast, Chris and Jeff Risdon look ahead to one of the most important training camps of the Dan Campbell era. From position battles to injury updates, from replacing Terrion Arnold to evaluating the running back room, there is no shortage of storylines despite the lack of football on the field. The Camp Battles That Will Shape the 2026 Season Training camp is where optimism meets reality, and the Lions have several competitions that will define the opening 53-man roster. The first battle begins at right tackle. Rookie first-round pick Blake Miller and veteran Larry Borom split first-team reps throughout OTAs and minicamp, making this one of the premier competitions to watch when camp opens. The secondary remains another major storyline following the departure of Terrion Arnold. Detroit must identify who will emerge opposite D.J. Reed, with Rock Ya-Sin and Ennis Rakestraw Jr. expected to receive every opportunity to claim the job. Replacing Arnold is not simply about finding another starter. It is about rebuilding depth in a room that suddenly looks much different than it did just a few months ago. Running back is another fascinating discussion. Jahmyr Gibbs is unquestionably the featured back, but is Isiah Pacheco enough as RB2? His experience, physical running style, and pass protection bring value, but Sione Vaki continues to develop, making this a storyline worth following throughout camp. Is Kerby Joseph Ready and How Confident Should We Be? Perhaps no player carries more intrigue entering camp than Kerby Joseph. The All-Pro safety remains one of Detroit's most important defensive players, but his recovery from a knee injury leaves legitimate questions. Training camp should finally provide answers about both his availability and effectiveness. His availability could shape the entire defense. Fortunately, Brad Holmes added veteran depth at safety, giving Detroit more flexibility than it had a year ago, but everyone understands this defense is better when Joseph is healthy. That naturally leads to the biggest discussion of the episode. How confident should Lions fans be? The roster still has one of the NFL's strongest offensive cores. Jared Goff is surrounded by elite skill talent, the offensive line remains among the league's best, and the coaching staff has built a culture capable of competing with anyone. The questions largely reside on defense, where health, youth, and replacing Terrion Arnold all become part of the equation. Training camp is where those answers begin to emerge. Join Chris and Jeff Risdon on the Detroit Lions Podcast as they prepare you for everything to watch over the coming weeks. From the biggest roster battles to Kerby Joseph's health, from replacing Terrion Arnold to evaluating Isiah Pacheco's role, this is your complete guide to the storylines that will define Detroit's 2026 training camp. #DetroitLions, #Lions, #DetroitLionsPodcast, #OnePride, #TrainingCamp, #KerbyJoseph, #TerrionArnold, #BradHolmes, #DanCampbell, #JaredGoff, #NFLTrainingCamp, #LionsRoster, #DetroitVsEverybody, #IsiahPacheco, #NFLNews #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #detroitlionstrainingcamp #detroitlionsnews #bradholmes #dancampbell #jaredgoff #kerbyjoseph #terrionarnoldupdate #terrionarnoldwaived #isiahpacheco #detroitlionsroster #detroitlionssecondary #lionsrosterconcerns #nfltrainingcamp Learn more about your ad choices.

Omar Kelly joins Joe Rose to break down the Dolphins' offseason approach, explaining why Miami is expected to add a veteran cornerback while still prioritizing the development of its young players. Omar identifies the team's biggest building blocks, including Patrick Paul, while questioning whether Chop Robinson can turn his flashes of potential into consistent production. The conversation also covers the competition between Ollie Gordon and Jaylen Wright for the RB2 role behind De'Von Achane, the need for more position battles during training camp, and potential breakout candidates to watch this season. Omar also defends his prediction that the Dolphins could win 10 games, while acknowledging that this season is ultimately about growth, development, and building for the future

Hour 2 opens with reaction to Team USA's World Cup elimination after falling to Belgium, as Joe Rose and the guys discuss why American soccer still trails the top European nations. The conversation focuses on the gap between MLS and the world's elite leagues, whether more of America's best athletes choosing soccer could change the sport's future, and why interest in the game often peaks every four years during the World Cup before fading. Omar Kelly then joins the show to break down the Dolphins' offseason direction, including Miami's focus on developing young players, potential building blocks like Patrick Paul, questions surrounding Chop Robinson, and the competition between Ollie Gordon and Jaylen Wright for the RB2 role behind De'Von Achane. Omar also doubles down on his prediction that the Dolphins can win 10 games this season, while acknowledging the bigger focus is player development and building a new foundation. The hour wraps with Hollywood Headlines, including celebrities upset over not making the guest list for Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce's wedding and the launch of a new 3-on-3 hockey format.

The blockbusters grab the headlines, but the quiet moves win leagues.

Kyle Crabbs joins the show to break down the biggest questions facing the Dolphins heading into the season including whether the pass rush can take a real step forward, and if Chop Robinson is ready to emerge as a difference-maker. He also reacts to reports of some Dolphins defenders arriving at camp heavier, and discusses how that added size could either help or hurt the team's overall defensive identity. On offense, Crabbs dives into Jonah Savaiinaea's development after a tough rookie year, including the decision to move him back to his natural right side and why that adjustment wasn't made sooner. The conversation also touches on Quinn Ewers' strong start in OTAs, Malik Willis building chemistry with his receivers, and the ongoing battle between Ollie Gordon and Jaylen Wright for the RB2 job, with Crabbs emphasizing that several starting roles are still very much up for grabs.

Hour 3 opens with Kyle Crabbs joining the show to break down the biggest questions facing the Dolphins, including whether the pass rush can take a step forward, Chop Robinson's development, and how several defensive players reporting to camp heavier could impact the team positively or negatively. He also discusses Jonah Savaiinaea's second-year jump and the decision to move him back to his natural right side, while weighing in on Quinn Ewers' strong OTAs, Malik Willis building chemistry with his receivers, and the ongoing RB2 battle between Ollie Gordon and Jaylen Wright, emphasizing that multiple starting jobs are still up for grabs. The conversation then shifts to the Marlins, where Otto Lopez, Xavier Edwards, and Joe Mack continue to stand out, before honoring longtime South Florida media figure Dave Hyde following his retirement after a 36-year career, as Hollywood jokes about Joe potentially stepping into a leadership role at the station. The hour wraps with NBA Finals talk, including discussion on today's three-point-heavy style of play compared to the physical eras of the past.

Garret Price and Andrew Mott return for a Goldilocks style ADP episode, going player by player to decide whether each Superflex tight end premium price is too high, too low, or just right. The conversation is built for dynasty managers trying to find value before startup and rookie drafts heat up. Listen to This Episode: Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube The crew opens with Malik Nabers, whose price feels just right even with a noisy offseason, and Jalen Hurts, who they argue is going too low at quarterback nine. Tucker Kraft sparks a debate about paying up for a tight end coming off an ACL injury, with both leaning toward a fair but underwhelming 2026. The back half covers Breece Hall as a steady RB2, Jordan Love as a true quarterback dead zone asset, and a string of upside receivers. Jameson Williams and Nico Collins both profile as strong WR3 options with week winning upside, while Ladd McConkey lands as a just right buy with room to climb.

On Wednesday, May 27, the Detroit Lions Podcast Daily opened with a quick curveball. Michael Grey recalled being at Cleveland Stadium the night Jose Canseco took a home run off his head. Then it was straight to the Detroit Lions and the NFL's running back puzzles at OTAs. Gibbs locked in as RB1 Jameer Gibbs is RB1. No debate. Expect more work than he saw down the stretch last season. The staff cut the RB2 load late in the year to about 10 to 12 touches. That let Gibbs tilt the field. It could be even more pronounced now. If you care about fantasy, Gibbs belongs at the top tier. The conversation is Gibbs or Bijan for the first running back off the board. That is where this usage is pointing. RB2 picture: Pacheco's role and a Vaki push The Lions signed Isaiah Pacheco to take the late-season David Montgomery assignment. Between the tackles. Third and three. Move the chains. It is not 15 to 20 touches. It is 10 to 12 and hard yards. That is the brief. Will someone push him? Keep an eye on Vaki. He has been the fourth back because he is invaluable on special teams. This is his third season playing running back exclusively. At Utah he was a safety who ran well when handed the ball. Now the question is simple. Can he take on more on offense and still deliver on teams? Depth, roster math, and OTAs notes Craig Reynolds, the best RB3 in football by last season's standard, is no longer in Detroit. That opens real snaps for hungry backs. Jacob Sailors is in the mix. So are holdovers Kai Robicheaux and Jabari Small. Both flashed last summer. Robicheaux did before he got hurt. Small had moments in camp. How many backs make it? Three or four. Recent history says four, with Vaki as the fourth because of special teams. But the staff could keep three on the 53 and flex a practice squad back on game weeks. OTAs will start to sort it out. Media availability does not open until Friday. Grey will not be on site this week due to the commute. The depth chart jockeying will still matter. Short yardage. Pass protection. Special teams. Those jobs decide RB3 and RB4 in June, not just big runs in August. One final note on a familiar face. David Montgomery looks good in Houston. The first thing mentioned down there is his feet. Quick and clean. That matches what Detroit saw when he carried the late-season load. Now the Lions move forward with Gibbs atop the room and Pacheco slotted for the bruising work. The rest will be won on the margins. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #jahmyrgibbs #davidmontgomery #isiahpacheco #jabarismall #kyerobichaux #craigreynolds #lionsotas #runningbacks #joshjacobs Learn more about your ad choices.

Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price are shopping for dynasty buys at quarterback and running back. This episode looks at Superflex and tight end premium values, focusing on players whose price does not match their upside, role, or long term insulation. Listen to This Episode: Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube The crew opens with a deep dive into Cam Ward, whose rookie struggles have created a buying window entering year two. With added weapons and Brian Daboll helping shape the offense, Ward gets framed as a young quarterback who could quickly climb from QB2 pricing. They also discuss Deshaun Watson and Daniel Jones as cheaper Superflex swings. Watson carries obvious risk, but his price is nearly free. Jones offers rushing upside, a stable offense, and a clearer runway than many quarterbacks in his range. At running back, D'Andre Swift, Rachaad White, and Travis Etienne headline the buy list. Each brings a different profile, from steady RB2 production to cheap pass catching upside to a potential lead role in a fast paced offense.

Garret Price and Andrew Mott close the pre-draft runway by locking in their top fives at every fantasy position—and the real takeaway isn't just the names, it's the process. They argue that if a player is moving more than a few spots post-draft, it's usually a mistake. Big ADP risers are more likely to bust, and the NFL Draft should be used to break ties and clarify Day 3, not rewrite your board. Listen to This Episode: Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube They open by calling out the most common dynasty leak this time of year: letting the NFL Draft swing opinions too far. The exception is when the league is drastically lower than expected on a player, which should trigger a reevaluation, not an automatic fade. The goal is conviction, not consensus. At quarterback, it's a Superflex-first conversation, led by Fernando Mendoza as the clear QB1, with the tier breaks after that shaping how aggressively you should chase the rest of the class. At running back, Jeremiyah Love is the clear RB1, while the RB2 tier is a tight cluster where landing spot and draft capital will decide the order between Mike Washington Jr., Jonah Coleman, and Jadarian Price, with Emmett Johnson getting real love as the RB5 swing. Wide receiver is where the variance shows up. Andrew's WR group is led by Jordyn Tyson, with Carnell Tate and Makai Lemon close behind, then KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston in the mix. Garret's list is more aggressive on upside and has Omar Cooper inside the top tier, while still acknowledging Boston as the “safer” archetype compared to the boom bust profiles behind him. At tight end, they largely agree on the names at the top—Eli Stowers and Kenyon Sadiq headline the class—but disagree on how to order the mid-tier, with the conversation shaped by how much you're willing to bet on traits versus profile risk.

Dynasty Nerds goes full draft-night game mode with an “over/under” episode that's basically built for comments: pick a line, pick higher or lower, and lock in your guesses before Thursday. With just Garret and Andrew, the entire show is about translating draft range into dynasty value swings, especially in a class where teams reportedly don't have much consensus. Listen to This Episode: Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube They start at the very top with Carnell Tate and treat the “6.5” line like a real indicator of league-wide WR demand, with Cleveland and Tennessee feeling like the most logical fits. Then the fun one hits: Jeremiyah Love at 6.5. Love “should” go that early, but the team fit is messy enough that they explore the trade-up scenarios, landing on the idea that Washington at 7 is a real outcome if the board breaks right. The episode then shifts into first-round macro questions like “Do we get a second QB in Round 1?” with Ty Simpson getting the nod as the likely name to sneak in. Jordan Tyson gets a top-11 conversation that hinges on his pro day and medical confidence. Then comes the tight end curveball: Eli Stowers at 32.5. They love the fantasy “WR at TE” angle, but they're realistic about the NFL lens. If a player can't block, it's hard to justify top-20 capital, so Stowers is framed as a strong early Day 2 bet rather than a locked-in first rounder. The RB2 line turns into a debate about whether we get a true Round 2 back or if the class gets pushed into Round 3. Chris Brazzell becomes the classic “speed and length gets drafted” argument, with disagreement on whether he's inside the top 50. They close with broader market calls, like over/under 5.5 WRs in Round 1, plus smaller lines like Emmett Johnson being more likely Day 3, and Taylen Green as a traits-based QB dart who still probably lands outside the first four rounds.

And for SuperFlex managers stashing QBs late, the debate runs through Ty Simpson, Garrett Nussmeier, Carson Beck, Cole Payton, and Sawyer Robertson.Whether you're building in a startup, rookie-only, or dev league, this is your complete 2026 dynasty rookie draft board.Timestamps: (May be off due to ads)Intro - 0:00:00Tier 1 - 0:02:46Tier 2 - 0:06:20The Case for Kenyon Sadiq in Tier 2 - 0:07:07Draft Capital Pushing Up Tier 3 WRs - 0:07:54Down Goes Tyson? - 0:08:51Makai Lemon Discussion - 0:10:30Memorabilia Giveaways - 0:14:22Gauging Tier 3 - 0:14:49Sadiq vs. Stowers - 0:16:33Ty Simpson's Extreme Variance - 0:18:37Eli Stowers Tier 3 or 4 - 0:19:17Ranking Tier 3 Receivers - 0:21:48Deep Dive On Ty Simpson - 0:23:16Bogman's Tier 4 Candidates - 0:33:59Fitz's Tier 4 Analysis - 0:35:18Not Ringing The Bells - 0:35:54Finalizing Tier 3 - 0:37:05Hard Rock Bet - 0:39:06Fitz's Tier 4 Wide Receivers - 0:40:30Elijahh Sarratt and Chris Brazzell - 0:41:48Initial Tier 4 Players - 0:43:56Potential Tier 4 Running Backs - 0:44:23Jadarian Price - 0:44:57Jonah Coleman and Emmett Johnson - 0:45:33Mike Washington Jr. - 0:45:56Finalizing Tier 4 - 0:48:18Crafting Tier 5 - 0:48:52Sam Roush - 0:50:40Zachariah Branch - 0:51:10Fitz's Tier 5 Contenders - 0:51:38Demond Claiborne - 0:52:04The Nittany Lion Running Backs - 0:52:30Finalizing Tier 5 - 0:54:42Building a Consensus Tier 6 - 0:56:59Michael Trigg vs. Max Klare - 0:57:47Deion Burks - 0:58:49Tier 6 Quarterbacks - 0:59:20Finalizing Tier 6 - 1:00:44Recapping The Tiers - 1:01:46Outro - 1:03:15 Helpful Links: Hard Rock Bet - All lines provided by Hard Rock Bet.

Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price close out the class with six running backs who, outside of the top tier, struggle to inspire confidence in any dynasty format. Jadarian Price out of Notre Dame may carry the "consensus RB2" label in many dynasty circles, but all three hosts come away largely underwhelmed. Price earns nerd scores in the low-to-mid 73s — respectable for this class, but not the kind of tape that inspires first-round dynasty capital. His vision, patience, and contact balance are legitimate strengths, but his near-total absence from the passing game (just 15 career receptions) is a glaring red flag in PPR formats. The hosts land on Price as a prototypical 1.5-to-2-year window guy — the kind of back an NFL team leans on in a pinch before eventually upgrading. Solid, not special. Nick Singleton came into Penn State with first-round buzz and a reputation as the premier running back in his recruiting class. What the Dynasty Nerds film room found was something far less exciting. Singleton scores a 70.8 (Rich) and 69.8 (Garret) — RB5 by default in a shallow class. He has the size, speed, and pass-catching ability to intrigue NFL teams, but his vision is described as "atrocious," his hips are tight, and he offers zero wiggle in the open field. He's a straight-line athlete playing running back rather than a polished NFL prospect. The crew agrees he's a late Day 3 pick — a high-ceiling project that dynasty managers should treat as a third-round flier at best. Le'Von Moss from Texas A&M had just seven games last season before tearing his MCL and ACL, and the limited film makes a full evaluation nearly impossible. When healthy, the crew acknowledges real tools — initial burst, angry running style, low pad level, and surprisingly better lateral movement than Singleton. But with only 121 career carries at his peak and no involvement in the passing game (two career receptions in 2025), Moss falls into the fourth tier of this class. Garret scores him a 68.7. The health question mark simply overshadows everything else. Jam Miller from Alabama carries the stigma of Crimson Tide running backs without the résumé to back it up. His 4.42 40-yard dash was legitimately surprising, and his pass protection grades are a relative bright spot, but that's about it. Poor vision, missed cutback lanes, and a concerning inability to break tackles leave the hosts stumped on how he gets drafted. Rich scores him a 65.6; Garret gives him a 63.7. The consensus: great athlete in the real world, not a dynasty asset in this one. Roman Hemby out of Indiana is everything you expect from a backup running back — nothing more, nothing less. He reads blocks well, almost never fumbles (two career fumbles on 710 carries), catches the ball adequately, and runs with purpose. But he lacks burst, top-end speed, and any ability to make defenders miss after contact. Garret scores him a 67.5. Rich identifies him as the best run blocker in this entire class. He'll stay on rosters because coaches will like him — but if he's ever starting, his team is already making calls. A true baked potato. No butter. The wild card of the episode is Rahsul Faison from South Carolina — a 26-year-old prospect who started college football in 2019, before COVID, and somehow scores a 70.5 on Rich's nerd scale (sixth in the class on tape alone). The age kills his dynasty outlook, but the tape is surprisingly watchable: genuine elusiveness, strong instincts, natural hands, and a high forced-missed-tackle rate per PFF. The hosts agree he's more of a priority free agent or late-round flier than a dynasty stash — but in a class this thin, even a 26-year-old with good tape stands out. His taxi squad eligibility running out before he'd realistically age off your roster is half the selling point. The 2026 running back class outside of Jeremiyah Love is genuinely one of the weakest in recent memory. Nerd scores drop from the 80s (Love) to the low 70s (Mike Washington, Jonah Coleman, Jadarian Price) and then fall below 70 for everyone else. The hosts' advice: be patient, look for value in receivers and tight ends with your premium picks, and only reach for these backs if the landing spot justifies the risk.

The Dynasty Nerds College Show is back, and Garret Price, Jagger May, and Andrew Mott are breaking down their composite top ten running backs in this year's NFL Draft class. Spoiler alert: there's one unanimous number one, a clear top tier, and then a whole lot of questions. Jeremiyah Love is the unanimous RB1 in this class and it isn't close. The crew compares him to Bijan Robinson as one of the best receiving backs any of them have scouted. Behind him, Mike Washington Jr., Jadarian Price, and Jonah Coleman form a clear second tier, though the hosts admit Washington carries the highest ceiling while Price offers the safest floor. Coleman's refusal to test at the combine left Garret scratching his head, dropping him from RB2 to RB4 on his personal board. From RB5 on, this class is defined by uncertainty. Emmett Johnson boasts elite underlying metrics including a 39% Dominator Rating, the highest of any back discussed, but his combine testing raises red flags. Nick Singleton has the tools but not the technique. Kayron Allen, Le'Veon Moss, Demond Claiborne, and Jadyn Ott each carry their own unique set of questions, making this a draft class where landing spot and opportunity could matter more than prospect profile.
