Ryan Wormeli Derek Brown, Tera Roberts, and special guest Rich Hribar of Sharp Football run through a 12-team 2026 fantasy football Superflex mock draft, breaking down the biggest decisions fantasy managers will face on draft day. They also dig into some of the most important late-draft decisions, including MarShawn Lloyd's upside, C.J. Stroud's bounce-back potential, George Kittle's value, Daniel Jones as a QB2, Jonathan Brooks, Christian Watson, Quentin Johnston and late-round quarterback fliers. After the draft, the crew checks the FantasyPros draft grades, identifies the strongest roster builds, and explains what they would change if they could make their picks again. Most importantly, Rich and D-Bro explain why there isn't one universal Superflex quarterback strategy: understanding your league, anticipating QB runs, and knowing which quarterbacks you're comfortable targeting later can completely change how you should draft. If you're preparing for a 2026 Superflex fantasy football draft, this mock gives you a round-by-round look at QB strategy, roster construction, sleepers, values, and how to react when the draft doesn't go according to plan.

The Jets' quarterback search could take a massive turn if a proven star becomes available. Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash run through the NFL's biggest names and debate which quarterbacks could realistically land in New York. Joe Burrow has a slim but believable path, Jalen Hurts looks like an intriguing fit, and C.J. Stroud could become fascinating if Houston takes a major step backward. They also explain why Dak Prescott, Matthew Stafford and other veteran options may not be worth sacrificing the Jets' three first-round picks. The conversation expands into whether Mike Tomlin could someday make the Jets more attractive, plus the pressure surrounding the Giants as John Harbaugh prepares to coach games that count. The Yankees also enter the spotlight as Brian Cashman and Aaron Boone face the only test that will truly define their season: October.

Joe Burrow to the Jets may sound outrageous, but Evan Roberts, Tiki Barber and Shaun Morash can actually see a path if Cincinnati disappoints and Burrow becomes frustrated. The debate expands to Jalen Hurts, who Tiki believes could fit perfectly with the Jets' offensive identity, while C.J. Stroud, Lamar Jackson, Dak Prescott and Matthew Stafford are also examined as possible future targets. The bigger question is whether the Jets should use their three first-round picks to draft and develop their own quarterback or cash in those assets for an established star. A caller adds another potential game-changer: Mike Tomlin, whose arrival could instantly make the Jets a far more appealing destination for a veteran quarterback.

Jeremy & Joe discuss what Texans GM Nick Caserio had to say about the Texans 53-man roster + C.J. Stroud's contract update.

In The Loop takes another look at the progress of the Texans offense under Nick Caley and asks whether fans have seen enough throughout training camp and the preseason to finally feel optimistic about Houston's new offensive coordinator. There have been encouraging signs, but is it enough to believe Caley can help take C.J. Stroud and the offense to another level when the games actually count? ITL then opens the floor for another edition of Lunch-Time Confessions before Houston Dynamo head coach Ben Olsen joins the show to talk about his team's strong season, the expectations surrounding the club, and their push near the top of the Western Conference.

RJ Bell and Munaf Manji talk betting for NFL preseason Week 3 and more. best bets as always. RJ Bell opens the final week of the preseason by handing the microphone to Munaf Manji, one of the most frequently featured co-hosts in the show's history, for a full episode of NFL win total picks, a preseason system play, and a season long player prop, before RJ closes the show with his own Week 1 best bet on Green Bay. The two begin, at 1:21, by discussing Munaf's specialty in the player prop market, where an early run of roughly fifteen or sixteen consecutive hit best bets on NBA props built his reputation with the show's most engaged listeners, before he expanded into moneylines, spreads, and totals across the NFL, NBA, and MLB. RJ, at 3:24, lays out his broader philosophy that the real opportunity in modern sports betting sits in player props and same game parlays rather than conventional sides, arguing that converting a losing bettor into a break even bettor carries more financial impact for an audience than nudging an already profitable bettor a few points higher. The conversation shifts, at 8:31, into a debate over whether the two would rather build around Deshaun Watson or CJ Stroud, with RJ making the case for Watson's healthiest seasons in Houston and Munaf countering with Stroud's rookie year burst and the motivation of an approaching contract year, before the pair revisit the Bill O'Brien era in Houston and the DeAndre Hopkins trade at 10:54. Munaf takes over hosting duties at 13:43 to move into picks, starting with a preseason system RJ built around teams that played each other in last year's preseason, landing on the Eagles and Bengals over the total at 14:18. From there Munaf runs through three NFL win total plays, backing Minnesota over eight and a half wins at 19:00 behind the arrival of Kyler Murray and a defense he expects to be elite, taking the LA Chargers under nine and a half wins at 28:20 due to offensive line issues and a significant rest disadvantage, and closing his win totals with New Orleans over seven and a half wins at 39:53 behind a full season of Tyler Shough and one of the league's easier schedules. RJ challenges each pick in turn, questioning Murray's durability and preparation, defending Justin Herbert's toughness for the Chargers, and agreeing enthusiastically with the Saints number. The episode also features a taped Week 1 pick from Dave Essler at 47:27, who backs the Cleveland Browns getting more than a touchdown at Jacksonville, arguing the Jaguars' win total last year was propped up by a soft closing schedule and that the roster is thinner on defense and in the backfield this season. RJ closes the picks segment at 54:07 with his own best bet, taking Green Bay getting points on the road at Minnesota in Week 1 by combining a division underdog trend with a revenge angle from last season's result, while Munaf's best bet at 61:06 backs Buffalo wide receiver DJ Moore to go over his season long receiving yardage total, citing his career target volume and his new role as Josh Allen's clear number one target after Buffalo went years without a true alpha receiver. Throughout the show, RJ and Munaf dig into how betting lines evolve once a trend becomes widely known, using the NBA zigzag theory and division dog systems in Week 1 as examples of edges that shrink once the market adjusts, a theme that runs underneath nearly every pick discussed across the episode. The two also share a rundown of the network's current promo code and a shoutout to two of the site's top performing handicappers heading into the regular season, closing out a show built almost entirely around actionable numbers for bettors heading into kickoff week.

The Houston Texans made a massive statement during their joint practice with the Carolina Panthers, turning what was supposed to be a competitive tune-up into a total defensive masterclass! In this video, we break down all the dramatic highlights, key matchups, and post-practice reactions from a day that left Panthers head coach Dave Canales calling the session "lopsided" and quarterback Bryce Young admitting that the raw outcome "sucked." From the very first drop-back in team drills, Houston's pass-rushing duo of Danielle Hunter and Will Anderson Jr. completely dismantled the Carolina offensive line. Young spent most of his afternoon running for his life as Hunter racked up five unofficial "sacks" alone, relentlessly blowing past rookie right tackle Monroe Freeling. With zero time in the pocket, the Panthers couldn't build any rhythm downfield. Whenever Young did manage to throw under pressure, Houston's opportunistic secondary capitalized—breakout safety Caden Bullock picked off Young twice to seal a downright dominant day for the Houston defense. On the other side of the ball, C.J. Stroud and the Texans offense took control late in the afternoon. While Carolina's starting cornerbacks Jaycee Horn and Mike Jackson put up early resistance, Houston's offense efficiently moved the chain on short-to-intermediate throws and capped off the joint session with impressive two-minute drive execution. With Coach Canales confirming that the Panthers' starters will be resting for the upcoming preseason game, this joint practice served as the final live-action rep for the first-team units. We analyze what this beatdown means for Houston's potential as a top-tier NFL defense this season, and how Bryce Young and Carolina must quickly bounce back before Week 1 hits! Watch until the end for full press conference breakdown quotes and full video highlights of the action!

He explains why he would carry only two quarterbacks, how he sees the crowded running back and wide receiver rooms shaking out, what Tank Dell's situation could mean for the opening roster, and why the Texans may need extra depth on the defensive line. Seth also digs into the offensive line competition, the uncertainty at the third linebacker spot, and several of the hardest calls in the secondary. Plus, Seth shares why he feels better about C.J. Stroud and the Texans offense heading into this season—and the few areas that still have him concerned. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
