Welcome back to the FantasyPros Football Podcast! Host Alfredo Brown is joined by Pat Fitzmaurice and Matt Modi to debate 4 divisive running backs that they can't agree on.

Fantasy Football 2026 Draft Strategy: WR Values, Tier Breaks, & Must-Draft Players (Ep, 2120)
What is the best fantasy football draft strategy for 2026? Ryan Wormeli and Derek Brown answer your questions on wide receiver values, running back strategy, tier breaks, dynasty trades, keeper leagues, superflex drafts, and the players they are targeting most this season. The guys start by breaking down the crowded WR13-20 range, including DeVonta Smith, Zay Flowers, Emeka Egbuka, Ladd McConkey and Tee Higgins, before discussing why an early RB approach could make sense in 2026 drafts. They also debate Ladd McConkey's ceiling, the value of the Chargers offense, and which mid-round wide receivers could become league winners. If you're preparing for a 2026 fantasy football draft, this Q&A is packed with actionable draft advice and players to target at different points of your draft.

Draft THESE Players in Every Round! | 2026 Round-By-Round Fantasy Football Guide (Ep. 2119)
If you want to know who to draft in every round of your 2026 fantasy football draft, this episode is for you. Andrew Erickson and Derek Brown go head-to-head in a Shark Tank-style fantasy football draft battle, pitching their favorite targets from Round 1 all the way through Round 15 with Alfredo Brown serving as the judge and deciding which pitch is victorious! Which players have the upside to become league winners? Which late-round values could massively outperform their ADP? And which players should you be targeting when the draft reaches the double-digit rounds? The competition gets especially interesting in the later rounds, where each pick becomes more valuable and the guys look for high-upside players who can help you win your fantasy football league. They also reveal the one player they want to leave every fantasy football draft with, plus additional late-round and dark-horse targets including Brock Bowers and Emeka Egbuka.

8 Players Fantasy Football Projections LOVE | Draft Values for 2026 (Ep. 2116)
Fantasy football projections can uncover league-winning value—but they can also expose players being overvalued in drafts. In today's episode, Tera Roberts, Pat Fitzmaurice, and Jake Ciely break down eight players whose FantasyPros projections are significantly higher than their current Half-PPR ADP, helping you identify the biggest values before your 2026 fantasy football draft. The crew debates whether Josh Jacobs is still an RB1 despite injury concerns, why Emeka Egbuka could be one of the best wide receiver values in fantasy football, and whether Rashee Rice's lofty projection is too optimistic. They also dive into Ashton Jeanty's polarizing RB1 outlook, Rome Odunze's role in Chicago, Harold Fannin Jr.'s breakout potential, Tyler Shough's fantasy ceiling, and why Quentin Johnston could surprise in Mike McDaniel's new Chargers offense. If you're preparing for redraft, best ball, or home leagues, this episode will help you identify players whose projections suggest they're being drafted too late.
