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.

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.

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 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: 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

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.

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

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.

And how much better did the Bengals get around their franchise quarterback. But the biggest headline might belong to Pittsburgh.

Then it's on to the Cardinals landing Tyler Allgeier, a move that gives Arizona a physical, efficient back who could thrive in a bigger role.

In This Episode: On this Super Bowl 61 edition of The Audible, Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom deliver the definitive preview of Seahawks vs. Patriots — a matchup loaded with storylines, pressure, and two completely different paths to the big game. Seattle brings a world‑class, suffocating defense that has bullied elite quarterbacks all season, but can they actually shut down Drake Maye, the rookie phenom who has carried New England to the brink of a championship. Then the guys flip to the other sideline: Sam Darnold, the former first‑rounder turned journeyman, now one win away from rewriting his entire NFL legacy. Can he go from "what could've been" to Super Bowl champion. And how does Seattle structure an offense around him that can survive Bill Belichick's successor and a Patriots defense built to confuse. Cecil and Bloom also break down how the Patriots offense can move the ball with Maye — quick game, tempo, Rhamondre Stevenson, and the matchup advantages New England must lean on to keep the rookie upright.

Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom dive into a massive Championship Weekend on The Audible, breaking down who reaches the Super Bowl and why. The AFC comes down to the ultimate question: can the Broncos win with Jarrett Stidham, or is this the moment Drake Maye announces himself as the league's next superstar. Then it's over to the NFC, where the Seahawks and Rams meet for another heavyweight chess match — and whether Sam Darnold can actually outduel Matthew Stafford when everything is on the line. watch on YouTube -> https://youtu.be/Q1OKxK0bZSM
