Today's episode of the podcast covers some NFL Leaderboards, dives into a discussion about Early Declare and Super Senior statuses, and then finishes with the Week 11 Discussion. As usual, I did not write up the NFL Notes, but I do have at least some brief observations about Early Declare and Super Senior status by position group. This is not meant to be a definitive study, more an observation about where the league is and recent trends. After that, as always, the Week 11 Preview which looks forward to some crucial 2026 QB match-ups. Early Declares and Super Seniors by PositionFor this an analysis, an Early Declare is anyone who leaves college the minimum 3 years after high school. A Super Senior is anyone who leaves college 5+ years after high school. To be clear, I don't think the analysis is re-inventing the wheel in any way, shape, or form and much of this is probably self-evident to at least some people, but I would wager even some of those people might be shocked by the degree in some of these points. * This should surprise no one, but the QB position is the only position — particularly at the top — where being a Super Senior is not a detriment particularly relative to being an early declare in recent memory. Several elite QBs (Jayden Daniels, Joe Burrow, Bo Nix) are Super Seniors, and QB is the only position where choosing between the top three Early Declares and top three Super Seniors would be a debate; the top 3 Early Declares on KTC right now are Lamar Jackson, Drake Maye, and Patrick Mahomes, so they still may have the edge here, but compare that to WR where the KTC rankings would make a similar comparison Ricky Pearsall, Jayden Reed, and Terry McLaurin v Ja'Marr Chase, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Justin Jefferson. * RB is the position where the TOP END is the most dominated by Early Declares. The top 6 RBs and 13 of the top 14 RBs are Early Declares (Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, Jonathan Taylor, Ashton Jeanty, De'Von Achane, Omarion Hampton, Quinshon Judkins, Bucky Irving, Christian McCaffrey, Saquon Barkley, Breece Hall, Josh Jacobs, Kyren Williams). That said, the gap between simply being a senior and a super senior, at least in the moment, seems less extreme at RB compared to WR. James Cook is the other RB in the Top 14, and as a 4th Year player, he creates the biggest divide between Senior and Super Senior, but players like Chase Brown, Jaylen Warren, and before his injury Cam Skattebo are more highly valuable to their positions relative to the Seniors and compared to the WR position. * At WR, within the top 24, there is a 2/3 to 1/3 preference towards the Early Declares, with 8 Early Declare WRs in the top 12 and 16 Early Declare WRs in the top 24. Beyond that though, the most unique aspect of WRs in this analysis is the complete lack of players achieving significant success after becoming Super Seniors. Ricky Pearsall and Jayden Reed have had some relative success aside from injuries, but injuries are a relevant reality in the sport, and if they do not turn their careers around soon, the biggest 5th Year WR hit since Terry McLaurin and Deebo Samuel — both of whom are ~30 YO now — is probably Rashid Shaheed? Or perhaps still Jayden Reed even with the injuries. Since the podcast, Deebo has fallen out of the Top 50 and Shaheed has risen into the top 50, but essentially these 5 WRs are the 5 that rest near or above the fringe of WR50. That is a very small number of relevant players throughout the entire position. * As one additional note, among the 8 WRs who have Senior (not super) status in the Top 24 on KTC, four of these eight WRs (Egbuka, Odunze, DeVonta, Olave) had an excellent season with high draft status prior to returning for their four season. Two more of these WRs (Ladd & Puka) were heavily impacted by injuries throughout their collegiate careers. This is why, in my eyes, even the bar for a fourth year player at the WR position should be very high or have significant excuse as to why they were not able to become more successful earlier in their careers. My belief is that this is because WR is so skills driven that early skills development is still underrated in the scouting process. This is admittedly not the most optimistic analysis, and I did not spin it directly like this on the podcast, but there is a reason that I bring all these items up on a Show/Sub that slants to the NFL Draft: There's some evidence that being an Early Declare for Dante Moore would be more enticing for teams to the extent that it might help him stay in the First Round relative to maybe a similar QB with a similar season who was a 4th Year player, but the fact that so many of those QBs being drafted as Early Declares are on the bottom of the top 20-28 QBs might suggest that for Dante Moore, if he wants to be a very good QB, staying at Oregon might be the most logical decision. And for Fernando Mendoza and Ty Simpson, while at other positions returning for a 5th Year would be a detriment, there's not necessarily anything obvious in the numbers right now — particularly if your goal is to be a very good QB — that suggests going back for a 5th Year is a bad idea. At RB, our top two don't need discussed here, but particularly as Jonah Coleman may re-enter the RB2 conversation with the injury to Justice Haynes, this is just another sign that Coleman best abilities might lie in FLOOR and not CEILING. And at WR, luckily our top three are fine here — it is part of what makes them the top 3. Jordyn Tyson is the only senior, but he slides nicely into that category that also fits Egbuka, DeVonta, Odunze, and Olave. The concern is more as we get into the stages where Chris Bell, Germie Bernard, and even Denzel Boston are becoming first round picks that people are excited about. Boston scores okay compared to those players, but is a clear step down. Bell and Bernard are not particularly close. That doesn't mean they can't be very good WRs, but unless there is more well-rounded development, they are the two players right now where they seem like they may slip into my own 1st Round, but in most drafts I would not want to rank them with a Top 12 grade. Make sure to check out the Fantasy for Real podcast where I go over these games in preparation for Week 11.After a few weeks where the match-ups for the 2026 QBs were not quite as exciting, this weekend showcases many of our top QBs matched up in important games. The biggest match-up and Game of the Week features LSU & Garrett Nussmeier taking on Alabama & Ty Simpson, with Nussmeier in particular needing to take advantage of the limited opportunities he has left before the 2026 NFL Draft. Aside from this top game, both Dante Moore and Fernando Mendoza find themselves against tricky defenses in road environments. This is another big opportunity week for the 2026 QB Class with plenty of other big games to look through as well. Friday Night LightsNorthwestern @ USC at 9:00 PM on FOXKey Players: Griffin Wilde, WR, Northwestern (2026) ; Jayden Maiava, QB, USC (2026) ; Makai Lemon, WR, USC (2026) ; Ja'Kobi Lane, WR, USC (2026)Not too much action late Friday night, but USC does have one of the most intriguing teams for the 2026 NFL Draft in particular. While the injury to Waymond Jordan and playing through injuries for Ja'Kobi Lane has limited some of the intrigue, this team still features two potential Day 2 or higher WRs including a top 3 WR in Makai Lemon. QB Jayden Maiava flirted with the First Round QB conversation, but right now seems to be firmly on the outside looking in after poor performances the last two weeks. This game is unlikely to get him back in the conversation, but it can get him on the right track for at least Day 2 moving forward. For Northwestern, Griffin Wilde remains an intriguing, productive player within College Football. A third year player in his first year in the Big Ten, Wilde is very likely the most important member of the Northwestern offense.Week 11 College Football GAMEDAY PreviewsGAME OF THE WEEKLSU @ Alabama at 7:30 PM on ABCKey Players: Garrett Nussmeier, QB, LSU (2026) ; Harlem Berry, RB, LSU (2028) ; Caden Durham, RB, LSU (2027) ; Aaron Anderson, WR, LSU (2026) ; Trey'Dez Green, TE, LSU (2027) ; Ty Simpson, QB, Alabama (2026) ; Jamarion Miller, RB, Alabama (2026) ; Daniel Hill, RB, Alabama (2027) ; Ryan Williams, WR, Alabama (2027) ; Lotzeir Brooks, WR, Alabama (2028) ; Germie Bernard, WR, Alabama (2026) ; Isaiah Horton, WR, Alabama (2026)Very likely the “Game of the Week” this week pits QBs Garrett Nussmeier and Ty Simpson against each other, each with the ability to raise their stock in the upcoming NFL Draft. For Nussmeier, a player without eligibility and a nearly nonexistent path to the CFB Playoff, this will be one of the last opportunities to make an impression. If Simpson wishes to enter the 2026 NFL Draft, that might be true for him as well, though Simpson will have more post-season opportunities most likely. Simpson has showcased excellent ability to play the QB position, but as someone with very few starts, Simpson is still an incomplete picture.These teams are also quite similar in how they have matched-up on Offense this year, with the exception of Simpson being able to execute in the difficult situations that Nussmeier has struggled in. But on the ground, both teams have struggled quite a bit this season. LSU has seemingly found something in RB Harlem Berry adding a bit more consistency on the ground the last couple of weeks, and between the true freshman and sophomore RB Caden Durham, LSU definitely has a very intriguing tandem on the ground. For Alabama, the most intriguing RB at this stage for NFL futures is probably 244-lb sophomore Daniel Hill. And while they are different shapes and sizes significantly, each team features some elite upside at pass-catching positions. Trey'Dez Green of LSU has been a match-up nightmare on paper for his entire career, but the last three games have begun to bring that theory into reality. He is currently my TE1 in all of College Football, with a significant gap between Green and anyone else. On the complete opposite side of the size spectrum, Ryan Williams of Alabama is an elite prospect, still 18-Years Old, but needs to work on his consistency particularly with his hands. Aside from Williams, potential fantasy 1st-Round pick Germie Bernard and true freshman Lotzeir Brooks make up a dangerous trio that also includes other supplemental players like Isaiah Horton. This is one of the more intriguing and multi-faceted games we have had in a few weeks, with huge 2026 NFL Draft implications from primarily the QB position as well as depth in future talent at RB, WR, and TE.TOP GAME #2Texas A&M @ Missouri at 3:30 PM on ABCKey Players: Kevin Concepcion, WR, Texas A&M (2026) ; Mario Craver, WR, Texas A&M (2027) ; Ashton Bethel-Roman, WR, Texas A&M (2027) ; Ahmad Hardy, RB, Missouri (2027) ; Donovan Olugbode, WR, Missouri (2028) ; Kevin Coleman Jr., WR, Missouri (2026) ; Brett Norfleet, TE, Missouri (2026)While players like mobile QB Marcel Reed and 3rd-year RB Rueben Owens have started to make an impact and enter into potentially draftable conversations, the strength of the Texas A&M Aggies remains the WR room. Kevin Concepcion is a fringe top-10 player on my Fantasy Big Board for the upcoming NFL Draft, and while Mario Craver's size may restrict him from being a 1st Round pick, both of these WRs have flashed playmaking ability at the highest levels of College Football. While it was only 1 Catch in his follow-up performance, Ashton Bethel-Roman is a second year WR and highly recruited player who has made an impact in each of the last two games, including 130 Receiving Yards on just 43 Routes (3.02 Y/RR). Bethel-Roman is behind his teammates so far in production, but he is also the only WR listed in this room at 6' tall. For Missouri, Ahmad Hardy is having a phenomenal season for a 19-Year-Old RB in the SEC even after the fall-off in performance against SEC play, but that fall-off is something that Hardy will need to rectify a bit and showcase that his rushing style can translate to the NFL level. Kevin Coleman Jr. is a YAC receiver with some promise at the NFL level, while Brett Norfleet is a TE with excellent size. The most intriguing pass catcher for Missouri may be the true freshman, Donovan Olugbode, who at least should be seen as potentially the highest upside Devy player of the group.Tough Road Spots for VERY Important QBsIndiana @ Penn State at Noon on FOXKey Players: Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana (2026) ; Elijah Sarratt, WR, Indiana (2026) ; Kaytron Allen, RB, Penn State (2026) ; Nicholas Singleton, RB, Penn State (2026)Just like last week against Ohio State, this is not the Penn State team we were expecting. Even some teams that have fall-offs like Florida retain a high degree of intrigue for this list, but Penn State's lack of pass catching weapons and injury to QB Drew Allar knock them from an intriguing team to a pair of RBs, one of which in Nicholas Singleton has been a massive disappointment so far this season. Singleton will look to take on his last major opportunity as a College Football player this weekend alongside the RB getting all of the work, Kaytron Allen. The main focal point for this game though will be Fernando Mendoza. It's not entirely fair as the team Oregon beat had aspirations for a National Championship and a different Head Coach, but this is an intriguing pair of games between this game and Oregon's game this week, as both Mendoza and Oregon's Dante Moore get to play in a road environment that we have seen the other play in already this season. OSU's Julian Sayin ripped Penn State apart last week, which likely takes away some ability for Mendoza to get much credit for doing the same even on the road, but this may be the biggest regular season test remaining for Mendoza, who is one of the most likely QBs to appear in the College Football Playoff. If this game is not a sufficient test for Mendoza, it seems less likely that Mendoza will find a test in the next two opponents, Wisconsin & Purdue, who are a combined 4-13.Oregon @ Iowa at 3:30 PM onKey Players: Dante Moore, QB, Oregon (2026) ; Dierre Hill Jr., RB, Oregon (2028) ; Jordan Davison, RB, Oregon (2028) ; Dakorien Moore, WR, Oregon (2028) ; Kenyon Sadiq, TE, Oregon (2026) ; Kamari Moulton, RB, Iowa (2026)While RB Kamari Moulton has had a few good games for Iowa this season, the ranking of this game so highly in the Weekly Preview is entirely about the Oregon offense – which has struggled in two of the past three games – facing a tough Iowa Defense on the Road. The Wisconsin game was a sloppy, weather-influenced mess, but with so little experience and a limited number of games against top teams, QB Dante Moore will need to take advantage of the opportunities in front of him. As mentioned above, this Iowa game also creates a point of comparison between Moore and Mendoza, and unlike Penn State, this environment is probably going to be seen as fairly similar situationally. Kenyon Sadiq might still be my #1 TE, but he has been one of the more disappointing players so far in 2025. If he wishes to enter the draft and be taken as a true and promising TE1, Sadiq will likely need to show a bit more consistency throughout the rest of the season. Outside of these two, Oregon has a number of intriguing freshman between #1 HS freshman WR Dakorien Moore and the RBs, Dierre Hill Jr. and Jordan Davison.Other Games to Watch this WeekendGeorgia @ Mississippi State at Noon on ESPNKey Players: Nate Frazier, RB, Georgia (2027) ; Chauncey Bowens, RB, Georgia (2027) ; Zachariah Branch, WR, Georgia (2026) ; Fluff Bothwell, RB, Mississippi State (2027) ; Brenen Thompson, WR, Mississippi State (2026) ; Anthony Evans III, WR, Mississippi State (2026)The early season fumbles got Nate Frazier in the doghouse, but he has played better the last few weeks and has gone four Gs now without a fumble. Chauncey Bowens is not nearly the highly touted prospect that Frazier is, but he is the RB who broke the two big explosive carries in Georgia's most recent victory against Florida. WR Zachariah Branch has been increasingly reliable with excellent YAC skills, and if this most recent game can showcase a bit more growth in areas aside from a “Gadget” role, Branch is someone with elite athletic upside (at his size). There isn't a player necessarily approaching Day 2 on my Watchlist from Mississippi State, but at least three players are in a Draftable range. Fluff Bothwell has excellent size and could grow into a solid SEC RB with another year remaining before he can enter the NFL Draft, and Brenen Thompson (Deep) and Anthony Evans (Underneath) each have clear utilities and limitations.BYU @ Texas Tech at Noon on ABCKey Players: Bear Bachmeier, QB, BYU (2028) ; L.J. Martin, RB, BYU (2026)A huge game for College Football and a smaller game for our purposes, this is the first real opportunity to spotlight freshman QB Bear Bachmeier, who will not be draft eligible until 2028. Right now, Bachmeier is not necessarily getting as much love with three current starting freshman QB with better tools (Underwood, Sagapolutele, & Washington), but as a true freshman leading an undefeated BYU team, Bachmeier deserves a lot of credit. Aside from Bachmeier, there are a few intriguing RBs in this game, most notably BYU RB L.J. Martin. Texas Tech also features a pair of sophomores in J'Koby Williams & Cameron Dickey.Maryland @ Rutgers at 2:30 PM on Fox Sports 1Key Players: Malik Washington, QB, Maryland (2028) ; Antwan Raymond, RB, Rutgers (2027) ; Ian Strong, WR, Rutgers (2026) ; K.J. Duff, WR, Rutgers (2027)Maryland & QB Malik Washington will look to bounce back after a rough home loss to Indiana. Rutgers' defense has been the team you want to play so far this year when you need to get back on track as a Passing Offense, and so hopefully for Washington this is the case on Saturday. For Rutgers, while the team performance has not been great in recent weeks, the trio of Antwan Raymond, Ian Strong, and Future WR Riser of the Week(s) K.J. Duff make Rutgers a sneaky interesting team. If Strong wants to enter the 2026 NFL Draft, he likely needs to start having some of his biggest performances down the stretch. For Duff, there is a clear opportunity to put up 1,000+ Yards and be on every Watchlist heading into the 2026 CFB Season including NFL Watchlists, All-American Watchlists, and Biletnikoff Watchlists.Auburn @ Vanderbilt at 4:00 PM on SEC NetworkKey Players: Jeremiah Cobb, RB, Auburn (2026) ; Cam Coleman, WR, Auburn (2027) ; Eric Singleton Jr., WR, Auburn (2026) ; Eli Stowers, TE, Vanderbilt (2026)The post-Hugh Freeze era begins with a tough road test against Vanderbilt. While I will be the first to congratulate Auburn on what is hopefully a brighter future moving forward, unfortunately for the Tigers, getting rid of Freeze does not come with an upgrade at QB, and that has been the issue for Auburn throughout the season. Cam Coleman remains the headliner for this team, an elite WR talent with potential to be a top 5-10 pick in the NFL Draft, but the numbers have not quite been there yet. Eric Singleton Jr. has excellent YAC ability, speed, and is very young for being Draft Eligible, but has struggled to produce this season specifically outside of a very limited, gadget role. Jeremiah Cobb has not necessarily entered the Day 2 conversation yet, but he has become the clear lead back for Auburn. Vanderbilt TE Eli Stowers had his first truly good game of the season against Texas, and will look to continue that momentum against Auburn. Stowers is #2 in the FBS for Receiving Yards at the TE position.California @ Louisville at 7:00 PM on ESPN2Key Players: Jaron Keawe-Sagapolutele, QB, California (2028) ; Isaac Brown, RB, Louisville (2027) ; Chris Bell, WR, Louisville (2026)One player for each of the next three Draft Classes (at least in terms of when they can first enter the NFL Draft), for 2026, Louisville's Chris Bell has excellent size, athleticism, and could develop into an excellent WR, but he is also fairly raw for someone being discussed within the 1st Round. Isaac Brown has excellent explosive ability, speed, and creation ability, but the latter in particular is hard to know how it will translate going from the ACC to the NFL at under 200 lbs. Brown will look to continue his recent dominant stretch against Cal. And then against Louisville will be Cal QB Jaron Keawe-Sagapolutele. Sagapolutele had his third multi-turnover game of the season this past weekend against Virginia, but continues to show signs that if he can manage those TOs in particular that he can be a potential NFL Starter / future 1st Round Pick.Florida State @ Clemson at 7:00 PM on ACCNKey Players: Ousmane Kromah, RB, Florida State (2028) ; Micahi Danzy, WR, Florida State (2027) ; Duce Robinson, WR, Florida State (2026) ; Cade Klubnik, QB, Clemson (2026) ; Gideon Davidson, RB, Clemson (2028) ; T.J. Moore, WR, Clemson (2027) ; Antonio Williams, WR, Clemson (2026) ; Tristan Smith, WR, Clemson (2026)This game against Florida State and Clemson – even with the injury to Bryant Wesco Jr. – could potentially be an excellent showcase of WR talent in the next two Draft Classes. The big name eligible for the Draft this year is likely this Week's WR Riser of the Week(s), Antonio Williams. Williams will look to build on his first great game of the season against Florida State, and alongside Williams will be former SE Missouri St. WR Tristan Smith and sophomore T.J. Moore. It was actually Smith who had the more targets between the pairing last week, but Moore is the player within this trio that generally seems to be highest rated in Devy. Most likely the offense runs through Williams & Moore, but it would not be a surprise to see Smith – who offers a bit of a different skillset at 6' 5” – getting more involved. For Florida State, two excellent explosive athletes in Duce Robinson and Micahi Danzy will look to make explosive plays downfield or potentially even in the running game. Danzy has been a future Riser recently, and Robinson is at least an athlete worth monitoring. Aside from the WR positions, Cade Klubnik will need to continue and play well to hopefully restore his Draft Stock even to Day 2, and there are a pair of intriguing freshmen RBs who may make appearances in this game between Ousmane Kromah and Gideon Davidson.//Not too much to add today, and I should be back on Tuesday to discuss these 2026 QB Games most of all.

Jordan Love delivered one of the best games of his career in a primetime comeback at Pittsburgh: 29/37, 360 yards, 3 TDs, 0 sacks, 0 turnovers — and the offense committed zero penalties. Ben breaks down how quick-game timing and pocket toughness flipped the script in the second half, with Tucker Kraft (7/143/2, YAC machine), Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson and Matthew Golden all supplying explosives.On defense, Micah Parsons and Rashan Gary headlined a pass rush that repeatedly ended drives, while Carrington Valentine stabilized the secondary. Ben also hits the concerns: RB blitz pickup, an inconsistent run D vs heavy sets, Keisean Nixon's miscues, and special teams misses. Plus: OL health/rotation updates, why continuity could unlock an even higher ceiling for Love, and a quick look ahead to Carolina — and whether a veteran IDL (hi, Calais Campbell) still makes sense.

Get ready for a heavyweight showdown as the San  Francisco  49ers (5-2) take on the Houston  Texans (2-4) in a game that's about much more than the record.

The Rams need a get right game, there's no secret. Limited turnovers (hopefully none), execution on special teams, and being properly prepared to either face Cooper Rush or Snoop Huntley by preventing YAC & easy 3rd/4th down executions underneath. This team has shown they can handle business and the only reason why they have multiple losses is because of their kicking game (and... a few fumbles). Regardless, it's any given Sunday and the Ravens need to find a way back in the win column. What are your thoughts on the Rams right now and this upcoming game? Think we can all at least agree that the Rams shouldn't take them lightly. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

October 1, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 31 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Wednesday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about the Pittsburgh Steelers as they enter their bye week following their win in Dublin, Ireland this past Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. The Steelers lost rookie S Sebastian Castro off their practice squad to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Tuesday, so we make sure to hit that news at the beginning of this show. We also go over the Steelers' list of injured players that now includes WR Calvin Austin III and CB Jalen Ramsey and how the team might compensate for not having those two players right after the bye week. Several members of the Steelers' coaching staff met with the media on Tuesday, so Alex and I pick out and discuss the meaningful talking points that came out of those several sessions. We talk about the overarching questions from Tuesday that centered around the offense's yards after the catch totals and short passing game through the first four games of the 2025 regular season. Alex and I look at several passing game stats related to the Steelers' offense through four games and how they share some similarities with what the Kansas City Chiefs did in 2024 on that side of the football. Is a short passing game with a high percentage of YAC sustainable for the Steelers' offense moving forward and especially with that unit only registering 10 explosive plays through four games? We discuss all of that in the middle of this show. We move on to discuss how QB Aaron Rodgers is fitting in with the Steelers so far and how he has handled himself as the team enters their bye week. We also discuss the role and health of rookie QB Will Howard while he is on the Reserve/Injured list. With the All-22 tape from the Week 4 game against the Vikings now fully digested, Alex and I both deliver our additional thoughts from the Steelers' Sunday win in Ireland when it comes to the offense, defense, and special teams. We take a hard look at the Steelers' personnel usage, offensive running scheme, and much more in this segment. We also go over what we viewed as positives and negatives on the defensive side of the football on Sunday against the Vikings. Alex and I make sure to hit on the point of the Steelers being atop the AFC North through Week 4 and how the other three teams in the division have a much bleaker outlook for the near future due to injuries and other situations. We make sure to hit on the quarterback switch the Cleveland Browns are making this week. This 104-minute episode also discusses several other minor topics not noted, and we close things by answering a few emails that we recently received from listeners. steelersdepot.com Learn more about your ad choices.

September 29, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 30 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to giving our overarching thoughts on the Pittsburgh Steelers' Week 4 Sunday win against the Minnesota Vikings and how impressive and big of a victory it was. Steelers backup QB Skylar Thompson was unfortunately included in the Sunday pregame headlines due to him being mugged in Ireland over the weekend, so we make sure to bring listeners up to date on what is known so far about that incident. As part of our Monday Housekeeping segment, which is brought to you by Touring Plans, Alex and I go over the Steelers' Week 4 inactive list, the practice squad elevation made on Saturday, and the players who sustained injuries in their 24-21 win against the Vikings. As usual, Alex and I recap the Steelers' win against the Vikings. We start on the offensive side of the football and talk about several individual player performances, the big play to WR DK Metcalf for a touchdown, the improved running game, and how QB Aaron Rodgers continues to rely on a short passing game and tons of YAC.

We also discuss the large amount of YAC that there was once again in the passing game on Sunday. The Steelers' defense recorded five takeaways and four sacks on Sunday and it's a good thing that they did. Even so, the Patriots' offense was still able to move the football on Sunday against the defense and mainly through their tight ends and the use of the legs on QB Drake Maye. We discuss how the defense wasnt great on third and fourth downs most of the game. We make sure to highlight some great individual defensive players and their respective performances from Sunday's game.

September 15, 2025 - Season 16, Episode 24 of The Terrible Podcast is now in the can. In this Monday morning episode, Alex Kozora and I get right to talking about our overarching thoughts on the Pittsburgh Steelers losing at home on Sunday to the Seattle Seahawks. We talk about the few key turning points in the game and how it was a winnable one for the Steelers until the fourth quarter.

We talk about the heavy usage once again of RB Kenneth Gainwell on offense against the Seahawks and the large amount of YAC that there was once again in the passing game. The Steelers' defense did not play well once again on Sunday, outside of a few interceptions. We go over the run defense in the first and second halves against the Seahawks, the explosive runs allowed, and how the pass defense overall took a step backwards in Week 2 despite registering two sacks and two interceptions.

We discuss the role that STC Danny Smith played into the poor decision made by rookie RB Kaleb Johnson on the kickoff that resulted in a Seahawks touchdown. We also discuss how the Steelers kickoff return unit has underperformed so far through two regular season games. After fully recapping the Steelers' home loss to the Seahawks, Alex and I discuss the Sunday toe injury sustained by Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow and how he's now likely to miss most of the remaining regular season. Burrow will likely miss both games against the Steelers now and that is a huge development when it comes to the AFC North division race.

Munaf Manji and Rod Villagomez talk NFC North and East fantasy football The NFC North and NFC East positional battles are shaping 2024 fantasy football draft strategy with a mix of clarity and confusion. As Rod Villagomez and Munaf Manji break down both divisions, the key takeaway is knowing which stars are safe investments and which depth battles are draft traps . In the NFC East, the Dallas Cowboys' running back room is a muddle. Javonte Williams has underwhelmed, Miles Sanders is fading, and rookie Phil Mafah flashes upside but remains a stash candidate. The safest play is to avoid this backfield altogether. Washington, by contrast, offers stability with Jayden Daniels and Austin Ekeler, who now owns the backfield after Brian Robinson Jr.'s trade. Debo Samuel joins Terry McLaurin to form a strong receiving duo. The New York Giants are plagued by quarterback chaos with Russell Wilson, Jameis Winston, and Jackson Dart all in play; only rookie Malik Nabers stands out as a reliable draft target. The Philadelphia Eagles remain an embarrassment of riches—Jalen Hurts, A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith, Dallas Goedert, and Saquon Barkley are all fantasy football studs . In the NFC North, the Chicago Bears spark debate at tight end. Cole Kmet is being overtaken by rookie Colston Loveland, who fits new coach Ben Johnson's system. Detroit offers no real surprises—Jared Goff, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Sam LaPorta, and Jahmyr Gibbs are locked-in fantasy starters. Green Bay remains frustrating: Jaden Reed is technically the WR1, but tight end Tucker Kraft, with seven touchdowns and strong YAC production, is the most reliable late-round target. Minnesota is headlined by Justin Jefferson, but Jordan Addison's suspension and injuries elsewhere leave T.J. Hockenson as a must-have. Rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy is being drafted higher than Trevor Lawrence, a puzzling ADP that highlights both risk and hype . From a fantasy football draft perspective, managers should avoid crowded backfields like Dallas and unstable quarterback situations like New York. Proven stars from Philadelphia, Washington, Detroit, and Minnesota are priority picks. Emerging tight ends such as Loveland and Kraft are prime late-round sleepers. Monitoring waiver wires in September will be critical as depth battles settle. SEO-rich terms: NFL fantasy football draft strategy, NFC East sleepers, NFC North fantasy battles, Dallas Cowboys running backs, Washington Commanders fantasy outlook, New York Giants quarterback controversy, Philadelphia Eagles fantasy stars, Chicago Bears tight end battle, Detroit Lions fantasy studs, Green Bay Packers wide receiver depth, Minnesota Vikings fantasy football values. The 2024 fantasy football season won't just be decided by first-rounders like Justin Jefferson or Saquon Barkley. League winners will come from reading these positional battles correctly, targeting volume, and jumping fast on waiver-wire value once the season begins. Learn more about your ad choices.

RJ bell, Steve Fezzik and Scott Seidenberg talk NFL Preseason and much more. RJ Bell opens with humor, likening obvious seasonal choices to betting decisions, and transitions into a sales pitch for pregame season picks, stressing that buying early is always best. He notes past success from cappers including A.J. Hoffman at +75 units, Goodfella at +50, Shaker with 20–26, and Steve Fezzik with 10 of 12 winning years, though Fezzik is down this year with 30 pending bets. A podcast coupon TOUCHDOWN75 offers $75 off. Light conversation covers Fezzik “holding down the fort,” movies like Dances with Wolves and Tin Cup, and McKenzie's trip to Chicago. Shifting to football, Fezzik reports a preseason week one scoring surge: 14 overs, 2 unders, 44.9 points per game, about eight points above totals and eight higher than last year's week one. Yardage and first down numbers barely rose, suggesting other causes, chiefly a new kickoff rule moving touchbacks to the 35-yard line. Week one saw an 80% return rate, same as last year's first week, but higher variance from returns creates more scoring opportunities than uniform touchbacks. Another factor is improved field goal prep—kickers now get balls earlier—producing 88.8% accuracy on 63 attempts, including 18 makes from 50+ yards and a 70-yarder, up from 86% last year. RJ and Fezzik argue this, combined with kickoff variance, will cut punts and boost points. Fezzik advises betting overs now before public momentum inflates totals. They analyze betting market evolution, noting early-week line moves remain sharp but late-week ones have softened due to more public money from legalized wagering. Bookmaker practices limiting sharps quickly are discussed alongside anecdotes from Pinnacle's Henry about reading bettors. Strategic implications emerge for team totals and props tied to strong kickers and returners. RJ prefers season-long overs before adjustment; Fezzik expects kickoff returns to stay near 85% in the regular season. RJ stresses finding betting niches you enjoy. Scott shares success in “longest rush/reception” props using YAC and missed tackle data. Preseason takeaways include that league-wide rule effects matter regardless of personnel, while starter-vs-starter glimpses gain value as preseason progresses. Fezzik's best bet is Detroit +3.5 vs Miami, citing the Lions' third game and 8 days rest against Miami's second game, short week, and back-to-back road travel. RJ outlines how Hall of Fame game participants excel late in week one due to conditioning depth. Scott's best bet is Eagles -4.5 vs Browns, exploiting Cleveland's depleted QB depth versus standout Eagles backup Tanner McKee. Scott presents an offensive tackle composite ranking from PFF and pass block win rate to find teams facing weak tackles; 49ers rank second easiest, making Nick Bosa a candidate for Defensive Player of the Year at +1500, sack leader at +1100, or 15+ sacks at +250. Using the same method, the Giants face the third toughest tackle slate, leading RJ to target under on Brian Burns sacks. Discussion notes good defensive lines facing strong tackles make sack production harder. They close with an announcement that Scott will appear less often due to new opportunities but will return during the season, ending with thanks, a Johnny Cash anecdote, and Fezzik quoting Cash lyrics.

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers head into the 2025 NFL season with a mix of optimism and caution. While Baker Mayfield is coming off a career year and the offense returns all 11 starters, a major blow hit just before training camp: All-Pro left tackle Tristan Wirfs is set to miss at least four games after undergoing knee surgery. That absence looms large for an offense that excelled in quick passes and yards after catch (YAC) in 2024 but now wants to push the ball downfield under new play-caller Josh Grizzard. The challenge? Grizzard has never called plays in the NFL, and Mayfield must adjust without his best protector in a brutal early-season slate that includes road trips to Atlanta, Philadelphia, and Buffalo. Defensively, the Bucs retooled a unit that struggled with pressure last season by adding depth at linebacker and in the secondary—but opted against drafting a marquee edge rusher. If the front seven can jell by midseason, Todd Bowles' aggressive blitz scheme could reignite. In a weakened NFC South, Tampa Bay still looks like the frontrunner, but the margin for error is razor-thin. Health, rookie contributions, and Bowles' in-game management will determine whether the Bucs secure a fifth straight division crown or watch the playoff window start to close.DAN ON TWITTERBUCS MINUTECAST ON TWITTER

Is George Kittle already one of the greatest tight ends of all time?On today's show, Steph and Weston discuss the latest 49ers topics like: Deommodore Lenoir's arrest, the end of TEU and we take a deep dive into Kittle's career achievements, his impact on the 49ers, and how he compares to legends like Rob Gronkowski, Tony Gonzalez, Travis Kelce, and Antonio Gates. From blocking dominance to YAC monster status, Kittle has done it all—but does he have the numbers and longevity to be considered the GOAT?

Joe Rose from WQAM joined the show. Joe talked about the Steelers-Dolphins trade from the Miami perspective. He said it's been a mostly negative reaction from fans even though it felt like Jalen Ramsey was heading toward a divorce with the Dolphins. Joe thinks Ramsey can play inside or outside corner and wouldn't be stunned if he could play a little safety, trying to fill the void left by Minkah Fitzpatrick. Joe is optimistic that the pairing of Ramsey with Mike Tomlin will work. Joe said something went south with Ramsey and Mike McDaniel, but it's mostly water under the bridge. Joe is interested in how that first press conference goes for Ramsey in Pittsburgh. Joe played tight end in the league, so the guys didn't think there was a better person to ask about Jonnu Smith. Joe said Smith is ‘as good as any pass receiving tight end as anyone in the league.' Joe raved about Smith's YAC numbers. Even at 30-years-old, Joe said Smith is entering his prime and could not say enough good things about him. This whole conversation made it sound like the Steelers got a bargain out of this deal. Joe caught the first touchdown pass from Dan Marino, but he doesn't have the ball. The guys asked Joe about some old Marino stories.

On this episode of Agency Nation Radio, we meet Michelle O'Connor, president of O'Connor Insurance Associates in Charlotte, North Carolina. When O'Connor and her husband started their insurance agency 25 years ago, they knew from the very beginning that joining the Independent Insurance Agents of North Carolina (IIANC) was a must. Michelle knew of other successful agents that belonged to the Big “I" and also knew of the association's industry advocacy efforts. While O'Connor's initial involvement with the association was with the state's young agent committee (YAC), she became more involved when she was asked by Kelley Erstine, IIANC's CEO at the time, to become part of a special committee charged with analyzing member benefits. Since then, she has served in numerous committees and is currently the national director for IIANC. “I've always been a super strong advocate of political action committees (PACs) on both the national and state association level,” she says. “Our insurance system in North Carolina is very unique and that's what started my interest. I realized that if you want change to happen, it has to come from the legislative level.” Agency Nation Radio is where insurance professionals turn on the mic and share unscripted stories about leadership, technology, marketing, success and failure—stories that helped make them the professionals they are today. From Main Street USA to the pages of Independent Agent magazine—we've got the stories you want to hear.

Send us a textIn this full episode of *2 Giants Goofballs: New York Giants News & Updates*, Drew and Rob take Giants fans deep into early 2025 NFL Draft scouting as they evaluate five more wide receivers and five top center prospects the New York Giants could target. With Big Blue still looking to build a stronger offense for the future, this episode focuses on players who could fit the needs of the Giants heading into next season. Whether you're a draft junkie or just getting started, this scouting breakdown covers some of the most intriguing prospects that fans should know about as we approach draft season.At wide receiver, the hosts discuss Stanford's Elic Ayomanor, an explosive pass catcher with a strong build and a knack for contested catches despite some drop concerns and a limited route tree. Oregon's Tez Johnson is described as electric, twitchy, and a true YAC threat, but his small frame and lack of deep-threat production raise questions. TCU's Savion Williams brings size and athleticism at 6'5”, with raw potential and red-zone upside, but inconsistent hands and blocking issues. Miami's Xavier Restrepo is highlighted as a record-setting receiver and high-IQ route technician with two straight 1,000-yard seasons, although his poor 40-yard dash and small size might scare some teams off. Finally, Isaiah Bond, now at Texas after transferring from Alabama, offers elite speed and dynamic playmaking ability, but his hands and physicality remain concerns.Then, the focus shifts to the top center prospects for the 2025 NFL Draft. Georgia's Jared Wilson is identified as a rising prospect with great quickness and punch, though limited starting experience may impact his draft position. USC's Jonah Monheim shows off strong versatility, having played across the offensive line, but remains raw as a true center. Texas' Jake Majors brings solid run-blocking and pass-protection instincts, but questions linger about his strength and ability to hold blocks consistently. Ohio State's Seth McLaughlin is known for strong hands and size, but persistent snap issues from his Alabama days could haunt his stock. Lastly, Boston College's Drew Kendall, son of former NFL lineman Pete Kendall, flashes intelligence and mobility but lacks size and strength against top-tier competition.Throughout the episode, Drew and Rob provide detailed insight into where these prospects may land in the upcoming draft, projecting most of them as Day 2 or Day 3 picks. For fans of the Giants looking to get a leg up on the 2025 draft class, this episode is a must-watch. Whether you're eyeing future weapons for the Giants' quarterback or key pieces to solidify the interior offensive line, this breakdown delivers an early look at the names every New York Giants fan should keep on their radar.Stay tuned to the *2 Giants Goofballs* Giants channel for more New York Giants live analysis, NY Giants news and updates, and all the latest Giants news and rumors.

RJ Bell, Steve Fezzik, Scott Seidenberg and Mackenzie Rivers talk NFL Week 15 recap. The guys also talk some poker and much more. Week 15 Overview: Boring Slate and Key Metrics Scott Seidenberg laments the dullness of the early afternoon games, with few close contests, except the Jets-Jaguars matchup (1:55-2:45). Mackenzie Rivers adds data: Winning teams averaged a 93.5% fourth-quarter win share, the highest in three years and third-highest in six years (3:14-3:44). Notable Metrics: Closest game: Jets vs. Jaguars. 49ers-Rams wasn't close. The NFL's Poor Fundamentals Steve Fezzik criticizes multiple teams for poor endgame decisions (4:03-4:55): Example 1: Arizona failed to make a clear distinction between a 20- and 21-point lead. Example 2: Atlanta gave the Raiders unnecessary time after an incompletion. Quote Analysis (5:32-6:44): Fezzik observes an “epidemic” of dropped passes. Puka Nacua, however, secures every catch because he “stares at the ball into his hands.” Mackenzie Rivers attributes drops to receivers focusing on YAC (yards after catch), unlike older eras of “fundamentals.” Game Analysis and Faulty Results Indianapolis Colts vs. Denver Broncos Steve Fezzik identifies this as a "faulty final" (7:25-7:37). Turning Point: Jonathan Taylor fumbled with the Colts poised to lead 20-7, but Denver capitalized, outscoring Indianapolis 24-0 to win 31-13 (9:14-9:29). Key Criticism: Denver's poor sportsmanship and focus as a player unnecessarily celebrated a touchdown, risking a penalty (10:15-10:39). Final Takeaway: Fezzik asserts both teams are fundamentally flawed and not playoff-worthy (10:54-11:04). Buffalo Bills vs. Detroit Lions Scott Seidenberg argues the 48-42 final score is misleading, as Buffalo dominated (11:18-11:58). Game Context: Detroit scored two late touchdowns; Buffalo maintained a 97% fourth-quarter win share. Dan Campbell's controversial onside kick strategy reflects his lack of trust in Detroit's defense (12:20-12:28). Team Insight: Fezzik believes Detroit is the third-best team in the NFC North. Injuries, including David Montgomery, diminish their playoff hopes (13:43-14:00). Mackenzie predicts Minnesota wins the division (12:36-13:26). Green Bay Packers Resurgence Mackenzie Rivers praises Jordan Love's improvement (14:30-14:51). Jordan Love: Currently ranked 11th in PFF's QBR composite. Scott Seidenberg adds context: Green Bay's losses (Eagles, Vikings, Lions) are “respectable” (14:51-15:14). Packers' Super Bowl Odds: +1200; Mackenzie identifies eight realistic contenders, including the Packers and Ravens (15:37-15:52). Best/Worst Performances Best Performance (Bad Team): Dallas Cowboys (16:04-16:34). Worst Performance: Carolina Panthers, who “reverted back” to their poor form. Bryce Young's turnovers and overall disarray highlighted why Carolina has been underdogs in 33 straight games (16:49-17:27). Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Chargers Tampa Bay Bucs dominated the Chargers 40-17. Steve Fezzik highlights Baker Mayfield's road success: 13-4 ATS and 17-0 in six-point teasers (32:05-32:25). Chargers' Playoff Path: Seidenberg explores playoff machine scenarios but suggests losses in critical games will cost them (19:00-19:31). Baltimore Ravens: Playoff Path and Stats Lamar Jackson (26:06-26:37): 21/25 passing, 290 yards, 5 TDs against the Giants. Fezzik highlights Baltimore's yards-per-play differential of 1.5, making them “three times better” than Buffalo in this metric (26:06-26:29). Playoff Path: Ravens must beat the Steelers and hope for a Steelers loss against Kansas City or Cincinnati (30:04-30:18). Key Matchups and Line Discussions for Week 16 Buffalo Bills: 13.5-point favorites over New England (36:17-36:57). Eagles vs. Commanders: Line: Eagles -3; Fezzik believes it should be -4.5 based on power ratings (39:01-39:52). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
