Training camp is underway and the Packernet phones are lighting up with some of the most interesting early takes of the summer. From Keisean Nixon's hold-in and whether a mid-round pick could actually make sense, to a detailed breakdown of every 2026 draft pick's realistic chance of starting this season, the callers came ready. We dig deep into the mind-boggling offensive upside now that we know Watson, Kraft, and Reed never shared a single snap last year, why Tucker Kraft's early PUP activation completely changes the math on Micah Parsons' return window, and why rival fans lose their minds every time the Packers pay anybody. Keisean Nixon hold-in, trade value, and why cutting him would be a mistake Realistic starter percentages for CSA, McClellan, Sutton, Burton, and the rest of the draft class The massive offensive ceiling if the weapons finally stay healthy How Kraft's early return shifts the Micah Parsons timeline and raises the odds he's back sooner than expected This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Day four in shorts turned into a full-blown defensive stick-up. Collin Oliver erased a tackle so fast he had to stop and wait for the ball, Lukas Van Ness kept winning, and a rookie corner ran stride-for-stride with Matthew Golden. The pads come on tomorrow and everything just got real. Collin Oliver's speed rush that broke the play itself and the "Olympics" comparison that still has people talking Lukas Van Ness, Anthony Campbell, Zaire Franklin, and the every-level dominance that bullied the offense Trey Smack's first public kicks (3-for-5 with context), Tucker Kraft's quiet climb, and the versatility of Dani Dennis-Sutton and John Williams Honest red-zone bumps for Jordan Love and why getting happy about your own offense getting stuffed might be a good problem This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Pack Nation, the first three days of camp had me sick with joy. Jordan Love ran no-huddle like he already owns the offense, Matthew Golden went up and plucked the ball like it owed him money, and Tucker Kraft came off the PUP list and immediately ran the sideline lighting up the fans. Then Zaire Franklin forced a fumble on Day One in shorts and put his nameplate on the door with a hammer. But Big Sal is not here to just bask in the sunshine. Jordan Love's command of the offense is no longer a question — the "can he do it" conversation is dead and buried Matthew Golden's second-year jump looks real in a thin receiver room (and yes, I compared him to a Generac) Tucker Kraft's return after nine months was pure Packer energy, humility and all Zaire Franklin and a healthy MarShawn Lloyd already changing the feel of the defense The real test starts Monday when the pads come on. Shorts football is a beautiful lie. I want to see the offensive line prove it, the young corners take contact, and Lukas Van Ness bend the edge for real. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Kendall Valenzuela and Peter Overzet settle the biggest positional debate of 2026 drafts: do you pay up for an elite tight end, or wait until the double-digit rounds and punt the position entirely? They each build a real Underdog best ball team around one strategy — and then grade each other's rosters.First up are the four tight ends coming off the board early: Brock Bowers in the second round, Trey McBride in the third, Colston Loveland in the fourth and Tyler Warren in the sixth. Are they actually worth the price? Then we get into the middle of the board with Tucker Kraft, Sam LaPorta, Harold Fannin, Kyle Pitts and George Kittle, followed by the round-11 pileup of Travis Kelce, Mark Andrews, Dalton Kincaid, Isaiah Likely and Jake Ferguson. And if you want to punt completely, we go through Dallas Goedert, Chig Okonkwo, Oronde Gadsden, Brenton Strange, Hunter Henry and Juwan Johnson.Then we stop talking and actually draft. Kendall and Pete each take a side, build a full Underdog roster, and come back for a post-draft debrief to figure out which approach really left them better off. If you've been staring at your draft board trying to decide when to pull the trigger at tight end, this is the episode that answers it.

How should you approach a 2026 fantasy football Superflex league? The Fantasy Pros crew puts that question to the test with a full redraft Superflex PPR mock draft featuring Ryan Wormeli, Scott Bogman, Pat Fitzmaurice, and Andrew Erickson. The mock features three starting wide receivers, seven bench spots, no kickers or defenses, and a Superflex lineup, creating a fascinating battle between early quarterback strategy, zero RB builds, elite tight ends, and waiting on positional value. One of the biggest storylines is the quarterback rush: eight QBs go in the first round, forcing the analysts to adapt on the fly and raising a major 2026 fantasy football question: should you aggressively draft quarterbacks in Superflex, or let your league mates chase the position while you scoop up elite skill-position talent?

Tucker Kraft came off the Physically Unable to Perform list on Friday and participated in his first practice of training camp.
Packers tight end Tucker Kraft was activated off the Physically Unable to Perform List, allowing him to practice -- in a limited capacity -- for the first time since suffering a torn ACL last November. Meanwhile, cornerbacks Keisean Nixon and Benjamin St-Juste turned heads at practice, while wide receiver Matthew Golden looks poised for a breakout year, based on the first three practices of Training Camp. NFL analyst Ben Solak from ESPN was at Friday's practice, and jumped on the show to discuss his recent conversations with head coach Matt LaFleur and defensive coordinator Johnathan Gannon.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Division Preview series continues with what could be the toughest division in football... the NFC North.Can Jordan Love finally cut out the costly turnovers and lead Green Bay back into Super Bowl contention? Is Caleb Williams about to experience a sophomore slump after living off miracle plays in Year 1? Are the Lions still the team to beat despite another new offensive coordinator? And what on earth is going on with the Vikings' quarterback room?This week, the boys break down every team, every over/under, and deliver some of their hottest predictions yet.
Keisean Nixon returned to practice, while Matthew Golden had a big day for the offense, and Javon Bullard made a big play on defense. Plus, linebacker Zaire Franklin has already made a positive first impression both on the field and in the locker room. Meanwhile, Marques tried to get to the bottom of the story behind Tucker Kraft and the City of Green Bay's Sanitary Waste System after Kraft's tweet on June 30th sparked a lot of speculation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Green Bay Packers officially kicked of Training Camp 2026 with their first practice at Ray Nitschke Field; cornerback Keisean Nixon sat out with a hamstring injury, which allowed rookie Brandon Cisse to step in with the starters. Meanwhile, tight end Tucker Kraft talked about his impending contract extension, while general manager Brian Gutekunst and head coach Matt LaFleur met with the media as well. Beat writer Pete Dougherty joined Marques to discuss Trey Smack and the Kicker Competition, and everything else under the hot sun at Ray Nitschke FIeld.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
How well do the experts actually know the market?
The dead season is officially over — training camp has arrived, and Ryan's back with plenty to unpack. He breaks down the Packers' reported $1.1 million operating loss and explains why the real story ($132.5 million in net income, up 54.8%) tells a very different picture than the sky-is-falling narrative being pushed by Florio and others. Ryan contextualizes the expense spike with the Micah Parsons signing and the Kenny Clark write-off, pushes back on Ed Policy's repeated alarm-ringing, and comes away cautiously optimistic about the franchise's financial path forward. - Packers' operating loss vs. net income: $753M revenue, $754.1M in people expenses, but $132.5M net income once investment gains and the NFL/ESPN media deal are factored in - Why the Micah Parsons signing ($44M bonus, $136M guaranteed) and Kenny Clark's accelerated cap charge drove the 18.7% expense spike — a one-time hit, not a trend - Ed Policy's repeated financial warnings: strategic pressure on the NFL or genuine alarm? Ryan argues it's the former, and Policy's refusal to sell Lambeau naming rights backs that up - NFL Owners Meeting recap: Bob Harlan's name goes on the northeast facade at halftime of the Oct. 29 Panthers game; LaFleur, Gutekunst, and Russ Ball extensions confirmed - PUP list breakdown: Tucker Kraft, Aaron Banks, Kamal Haddon, Javan Hargrave, Luke Musgrave placed on PUP; RB Chris Brooks on NFI; plus a full rundown of PUP rules and the new 2026 reserve PUP practice window - Breaking non-Packers news: Eric Bieniemy's wife Mia shot at their Virginia home by the couple's son; Ryan covers the story with appropriate gravity We're back, baby.

Big Sal opened camp week with a full meltdown — six Packers on the PUP and NFI lists before a whistle blew, blood pressure somewhere it shouldn't go over a July transaction wire. Then he read the rulebook. The July PUP list is a parking spot, not a sentence. Knowing which guys are the ice machine and which one is the pool table with tape on the corner pocket? That's your job as a fan, because nobody on television is going to do it. - **Tucker Kraft vs. Luke Musgrave on PUP:** Kraft's finishing a comeback, not starting one — no pitch count, week one. Musgrave had the door wide open and landed on the same list as the guy he was supposed to cover for; the reps go to Josh Wilde and Messiah Swinson. - **Micah Parsons and the math:** December 14th ACL plus nine months equals mid-September. He was never going to be at Minnesota. Big Sal wants week five, not a day earlier — rushing him back is how you spend four years of a career to win a Tuesday in July. - **The good news Big Sal never gives:** Zack Tom is off the list. Without him, Love's sack rate more than doubled. Eight and two when Tom played 30-plus snaps. That's the whole season in one guy's knee.

Jeff Ratcliffe previews the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers for fantasy football purposes in 2026. He kicks things off in Detroit by basking in the greatness of Jahmyr Gibbs and Amon-Ra St. Brown, breaks down Jameson Williams' ceiling/floor combination, talks about why Sam LaPorta is risky in the middle rounds, and why Jared Goff is better for superflex than 1QB. Jeff then heads to Green Bay to discuss the value at wide receiver and why Matthew Golden is more interesting than Jayden Reed, Tucker Kraft's outlook following his injury, why Jordan Love is also better in superflex than 1QB, and why he isn't concerned about Josh Jacobs' offseason off-field troubles.

Most managers mistime tight ends. Here's when to buy, hold, and sell in dynasty fantasy football.
Go ahead, reach for the remote. Sal already knows what you're thinking — the backup tight end battle? Who cares? But stay with him, Pack Nation, because Josh Whyle versus Luke Musgrave might just be the little fight that wins you January. Tucker Kraft is TE1, no argument — but a great offense isn't one tight end. It's two. And LaFleur's been dreaming about that duo since 2023. Here's what has Sal fired up:

2026 Upper Hand Fantasy Draft Kit: https://www.upperhandfantasy.com/draftkitFREE PROVE Running Back Board: https://www.upperhandfantasy.com/proveEvery draft season, a guy nobody is talking about ends up as the overall QB1, RB1, WR1, or TE1, and the managers who saw him coming are the ones holding the trophy. So this year I broke down the dark horses at every position with the upside to finish number one overall in 2026.Some of these names will feel obvious. A few are going to sound insane, and those are the ones you want to stick around for. For every pick I go through the metrics and the situation changes, and exactly what has to happen for them to finish as the overall number one at their position.Last year I was the loudest person in the room on Drake Maye, Chase Brown, George Pickens, and Tucker Kraft before he got hurt. All dark horses at the time, all finished near the top of their position. This list is built the same way.Follow us on Instagram (200K followers): https://www.instagram.com/upperhandfantasy/

NFC North Lull: Caleb Williams' Pope Jersey, Lions CB Waivers, Packers Depth Worries, ESPN Roster Rankings, and Bears Stadium Talk — The hosts of *Who Will Be King* discuss the NFC North offseason lull while waiting for training camp to begin. They start with Caleb Williams sending the Pope a signed Bears jersey that may hint at Chicago's leaked “Rivalries” uniform. They cover the Lions' Terrion Arnold clearing waivers amid an upcoming court date and possible NFL discipline, then pivot to Brandon Aiyuk's situation and the process of getting reinstated from the left-team list. For Green Bay, they break down Matt LaFleur's comments about roster depth, Josh Jacobs' arrest and domestic situation, Tucker Kraft potentially starting camp on PUP after a major knee injury, and questions surrounding Jordan Love's next step. The panel reacts to ESPN's latest roster rankings (Rams No. 1, Packers 17th, Vikings 22nd) and closes with updates on the Bears stadium site studies in Hammond, Indiana, and Arlington Heights keeping a Bears billboard up for another year.

The tiers series wraps up with the position everyone loves to argue about.
Big Sal is fired up this morning after staring at one number that has him out of his chair. While the entire football world obsesses over Caleb Williams taking a leap and Minnesota's spinning quarterback carousel, nobody is saying what needs to be said out loud: Have we even seen the best of Jordan Love yet? The cold, unsentimental tape from Pro Football Focus doesn't lie, and it tells the story of a quarterback who already made a definitive leap while riding a broken-down sled through a Wisconsin ditch. Jordan Love finished with an 88.7 PFF passing grade, good for third among all qualified NFL quarterbacks, with PFF themselves calling it a "definitive leap" The Packers started a league-high 27 different offensive players, with their most common offensive line combination playing together just 17.6% of snaps — dead last in football Key weapons disappeared for huge stretches: Jayden Reed played only seven games, Christian Watson missed the first six, and Tucker Kraft (leading all tight ends at 15.3 yards per catch) tore his ACL after eight games Despite the carnage, Love threw 27 touchdowns to just six interceptions, posted a passer rating over 100, and advanced metrics said this team had a top-three floor if they had simply stayed healthy This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Big Sal is sick and tired of it. In this fiery "Let Me Tell You Something" rant, he calls out the national media for constantly overlooking Jordan Love while the Packers quarterback quietly puts up elite numbers year after year. With a new arsenal of weapons and the same steady leadership, Sal argues this could finally be the season the whole country has to say Jordan Love's name with respect. Key Discussion Points: Jordan Love's 2025 stat dominance: over 3,300 yards, 23 touchdowns, only 6 interceptions, and a 101.2 passer rating The powerful "bait shop versus neon sign" analogy explaining how quiet excellence gets ignored for flashier names How healthy Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, and Tucker Kraft finally give Love the weapons he needs and bury every excuse Why earning national respect isn't just about pride — it's about real leverage in contracts, Pro Bowl votes, MVP conversations, and playoff perception, plus Sal's personal parallel to being overlooked This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Ryan breaks down the Lions' massive cornerback and safety problems with Terry and Arnold likely out and Kirby Joseph coming off a fluke season. Also covers Tucker Kraft's upcoming contract in light of Kyle Pitts' deal and addresses a misleading report about his injury status. Plus a preview of tomorrow's discussion on pace of play.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to another unfiltered night on Packernet After Dark. Fans are fired up as one caller drops a controversial bomb: the Packers themselves are partly responsible for all the Caleb Williams hype after that playoff choke and onside kick disaster. Ryan doesn't hold back, calling out the "luckiest streak in the world" and demanding the Packers embarrass Chicago early to shut it down for good. Plus, backup QB debates, tight end contract talk, and classic After Dark banter. Key Discussion Points Caleb Williams & Bears Talk: Garrett from Southern Illinois argues the Packers' collapse gave Chicago momentum they never had against Favre or Rodgers — Ryan fires back that it was a choking dog-crap Packers team that still dominated most of the game. Backup Quarterback Reality Check: A caller pushes for more discussion on Drones and McCord; Ryan explains why Tarod Taylor is locked in as the clear #2 with the others as developmental/practice squad guys until proven otherwise. Tight End Market & Kraft Extension: Bruce breaks down the new tight end deals (Pitts money) and what it means for Tucker Kraft in a heavy 12-personnel offense. Other Fan Calls: Non-padded practice value, Ben Johnson hot dog jokes, Micah Parsons injury timing, PFF grading quirks, and roasting NFL offseason "losers" lists that include the Packers.
