Yo, yo, yo. It is the Max Vert Pod, and we are back after a very, very long time. It has been a it has been months. It has been since the NBA playoffs. It's been far too long, but I am back. We are back because fantasy football is right around the corner. And I apologize for missing so many weeks, but you know, life happens. Life happens and working a couple jobs and getting married and you know working 10, 11 hours a day, trying to stay up on my fitness, all that good stuff. I haven't had the time that I would like to have to record pods. Uh, but I'm going to try to get better at this. Um, and with the NFL coming back and fantasy football or NFL football in general, right around the corner, why not go over my 2026 fantasy quarterback rankings? So that is what we're going to go over today. I'm excited for football season. I love the summer. Uh, summer and spring are my favorite months of the of the year, or yeah, my favorite seasons of the year. And uh every year around this time, I get a little sad because I'm like, man, summer is coming to an end. Uh, but with that, uh, as we go into fall and we end the summer, I understand that I have football. And I have I get to root for my Broncos, I get to root for Notre Dame, Ohio State. So uh that's that makes me feel a little bit better when when I know summer's ending, fall's coming, the cooler and colder weather is coming, football carries me through uh those colder months. So last year I won my, I would say my money league. I I do a couple fantasy football leagues every year. I do this couple league where my wife drafts the team and then I manage the team, and we've won that back-to-back years. We've only been doing that two years now, and then uh I do this money league I do with you know guys I worked with at Pizza Hut back in back in high school, and we've been doing this fantasy football league. We do a live draft in Dayton, Ohio. We've been doing this for ten years now, and I have won four, and yes, I'm gonna pat myself on the back because I won last year, uh, and then I won um two years before that. So two of the last three years, and I've won four out of the ten years that we've done this. So I got four rings, and uh, you know, we have this little belt, and I'm looking at it right now. We have this little it's it's uh the pizza league, uh, but we have this championship belt, and whoever wins it gets to keep it for the entire year. So I won it last year, and and now I have this belt, and then I'll have it for the this entire fantasy football season. Um so I'm probably just as excited as anyone in our league right now because I just won and I want to defend the belt. And you know, I I love having that opportunity to brag to all my league mates that I pretty much own them. Four out of ten years, they're doing something wrong. I'm doing something right. You know, this can't be four years of being lucky, in my opinion. So I want to start with QB rankings because QB is the start of, you know, every NFL game, every possession, the quarterback snaps the ball. And I personally, my draft strategy is to focus on the QB more so than your running backs, your wide receivers, and so forth. And I target quarterback in round one. And I guarantee 90%, 95% of fantasy podcast advice you get, it's weight on the quarterback. There's always good quarterbacks, it's uh a deep quarterback league. You know, you can get the 10th best overall quarterback, and you can get him later on in your draft, maybe round six or seven. Go ahead and load up on your receivers, go ahead and load up on your running backs because those are few and far between. Um, those are the guys that are going to win your league. And I completely disagree with it. I started doing fantasy with my grandfather, probably around 12 or 13 years old. And um we were in this league for for years, and I I I went back because you could look, this is like early 2000s, but you could look at your history, your league history, and I was struggling. Uh I hadn't won, but I had r two really good seasons in this league, and I was young, and I'm like, how am I what did I do on those two really good seasons? What did I do that I've been doing differently? Um so I was doing some some research, and all of my worst seasons I was taking back-to-back running backs, picks one and pick two. And then so all my worst seasons, I was I was, you know, I was taking receiver one, running back one, you know, it was a mix of my first two picks, running back and receiver. And my two best seasons, one year I won all the regular seasons game, regular season games, and then I lost in the first round of the playoffs. And then another year I just had a really good record. And what I found was I took quarterback number one with my number one pick. It didn't matter what pick it was in the first round, I took a quarterback. And that's what I've been doing. So I've had Josh Allen the last three seasons, no matter where I was in the draft in my pizza fantasy league, I've taken him with my number one pick. And he's always there because you know what? Like I said, 90 to 95% of the advice that you're gonna hear is take a running back, take a receiver, take Jamar Chase, take Jameer Gibbs, take B. John Robinson, take Christian McCaffrey. Don't ever take a quarterback in the first round. And this is where my strategy comes in. And I know some of my fantasy league mates might be listening to this podcast and they're gonna be like, well, you know what? I'm gonna take Josh Allen first this year. And they might do that. They might take Josh Allen number one overall before I do because they understand that's my strategy and it's it's helping me win. But that's fine. That's fine. I'm laying this out here for everybody. I'm prepared for that. So it you also got to know how to draft after taking quarterback in round one. So all that's to say is I do recommend, and I'm gonna lay it out here when I go over these quarterback rankings, I do recommend taking quarterback with your first pick in your fantasy football draft. Now that there is a caveat. If two, one or two quarterbacks have already been taken in the first round before you have, and we're on to the third best quarterback in fantasy football, you got to pivot. I'm saying there's a 99% chance that the best quarterback in the fantasy in fantasy football, which right now is Josh Allen, I'm saying he will probably be available with your number one pick in the first round, whether that's pick one, that's pick 12. So if that's the case, I recommend taking Josh Allen. So I'm gonna start with tier one uh quarterbacks for the 2026 fantasy football um uh season. So Josh Allen, I have number one. This is tier one. You're gonna have the best QB every week. I also have Lamar Jackson in this tier as well. This there's a little caution here because Lamar probably isn't gonna be the best quarterback every week uh in your matchups, like Josh Allen is, uh, but he'll be damn near close. And I expect him to have a bounce back year, and I could see him being right behind Josh Allen for the most points uh in in fantasy football for a quarterback this season. And I think that is because his, you know, he he's coming back from a hamstring injury, he's a very competitive guy. Uh we've seen, he's been in the league for some years now, we've seen his production, we know we can count on Lamar to have a good season. So as long as he stays healthy, I think uh Lamar will have a bounce back year. And uh he'll run the ball more this year. He's gonna throw the ball. We I mean, we've seen him throw for 41 touchdowns and less than five interceptions, so we know what he can do. Now, Josh Allen's in the no-brainer. If I have him with my number one overall pick, if he's available, I'm taking him. It'll be my fourth straight year of taking Josh Allen, number one overall, uh, my first round pick. And here's why. Here's why I I believe this is the strategy. So Josh Allen had 375 points last year in 2025. Jared Goff had the eighth most fantasy points for a quarterback with 305 points. So you would think 70, you know, 70 points isn't that much of a difference. But over the course of a season, uh, you know, those couple points per game, they really do matter. Uh they matter a lot. And the good thing with Josh Allen is he can throw for 4,000 yards, and then he can also rush for 10 touchdowns, or he can rush for 600 yards. Or, you know, he could throw for 3,500 yards, and he'll still get you so much production because of the rushing. Um and there's no signs of him slowing down with running the ball. He's a big bodied quarterback, he can handle the hits, he can deliver the blows. Uh, you don't have to worry about a small frame like a Jaden Daniels. Um so that's why, you know, it's it's a smart decision, in my opinion, and he's definitely the number one overall quarterback, or uh number one overall, yeah, number one overall quarterback, but for me, number one overall pick. And then the other reason, and the the more important reason is running backs have the highest individual injury rate on the offensive end. So fantasy football, it's an offensive league. It's an offensive game. You have your running back, you have your wide receiver, you have your tight end, you have your quarterback. You're not getting points from, I mean, you do have a defense and you do have a kicker, but those aren't the those are the least amount of your points. So when you're drafting your first round picks, you're taking the best receiver available, you're taking the best running back available. Well, I caution you of taking the best running back available with your number one overall pick, your number five overall pick, because running backs of the position groups that we draft in fantasy football, they get high they get injured at the highest rate. And then right behind them is receivers. So you got to take into account when you're taking your number one overall pick, will this guy be healthy for all 17 games? Will this guy miss five games? Will this guy tear his ACL and miss the entire season? And what positions are most likely to have season injury, season ending injuries, or to miss games? Running back's the number one position. So, yes, B. John Robinson is probably your clear-cut number one overall prospect right now in fantasy football because of what he did last year. But he's also way, way, way, way, way more likely to have an injury uh that will wreck your entire fantasy football season than Josh Allen is. Okay, let's go to the receivers. Jamar Chase. Let's just say right now he's the number one overall, or Puka Nakua, number one overall receiver, and you have the third overall pick. It's a no-brainer. You take him, right? Because he's available. Again, he is so much more likely to miss games, to get injured, to wreck your season due to an injury than Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson. I will, you know, Lamar got hurt last year, but even with Lamar getting hurt last year, quarterbacks are less likely to get injured and ruin your fantasy football season than is running backs or wide receivers. And then tight ends, you have tight ends. So running backs get the injured the most, then you have receivers, then you have tight ends, then you have quarterbacks. So if you draft Josh Allen with your number one overall pick, or you draft Lamar Jackson with your number one overall pick, you're not only getting a top of the line, you're having the best quarterback in your matchup every week. Um, or if he's not the best, he's the second best, but you also have so much injury safety that these other guys that are drafting Jamar Chase or B. John Robinson or Christian McCaffrey, they don't have that injury safety that you have. So your team is more likely to be healthy for an entire year. And then you're taking the risk away. You're not, you're not gonna draft Christian McCaffrey, and then you look at the you know, the 2026 season ends and you don't make the playoffs, and then you go, well, that's because, you know, Christian McCaffrey, you know, he he got hurt and he wasn't, he didn't play for half the year. So that is the number one point why you take the tier one quarterback with your first overall pick because running backs, receivers, they get injured. And we we live in this, what's the word? We live in this perfect world where the guy we pick won't get hurt. But you're you your running back is way more likely, four times more likely to get hurt and miss extensive time than your quarterback. So go ahead and take your quarterback, take Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, number one, and then take best available receiver running back later on. Now that's just my strategy. Everybody's different. Again, I I don't think it's any secret, uh, but if it has been a secret and my lead mates are listening because I will send this to them, uh go ahead. You know, go ahead and take Josh Allen. Uh you know my strategy. Uh go go ahead and take Lamar Jackson. There's more to it. Um I won't go over the strategy after that on how to pick after taking the quarterback number one overall, uh or in the first round. Uh, but I'm prepared for everything. So, you know, there are worlds where Josh Allen won't be available, and some people will draft him uh in the first round. Um and then you gotta pivot, and then you gotta pivot. So let's go on to tier two. So tier two, I have leg uh labeled as some legs and then Matt Stafford. So this tier, obviously, Matt Stafford is in this tier two, and then the rest of the guys, they have they have some legs. They can move around a little bit. They can get you four, they can get you anywhere from 350 yards to uh let's say 550 rushing yards and a couple touchdowns. Um so this tier two I have, and it's no particular order. I got Drake May, Jalen Hurts, Dak Prescott, Matt Stafford, T Law, and Justin Herbert. So um obviously Dak Prescott's more like Matt Stafford. He he doesn't run much anymore. I think last year he might have had like 170, 180 rushing yards. So I would throw him in that um Stafford category. He just throws for a lot of yards and a lot of touchdowns, and he has the weapons, so I don't see that you know changing. He has CeeDee Lamb and he has um George Pickens. So he has, in my opinion, one of, if not the best receiving tandem in the NFL. So he's gonna throw for yards. And then if Matt Stafford does anything like he did last year, you know, MVP type play, throwing a lot, scoring a lot, you know, he's gonna put up stats. Now, Stafford would be a tier one guy, but he has zero legs. I mean, absolutely zero. I don't think he ran for 50 rushing yards last year. And they're not gonna have him run um in the in the red zone. Uh so they'd much rather hand it to a running back or or or throw it to a receiver, uh, uh, a jump ball. So, and then Drake May, we know what he did last year. You know, I think he he could regress as far as yards go this year, because I think he threw a little bit over 4,000 passing yards last year. But say he throws for 3,800 yards passing, I still think he can do what he did with his legs last year, and he might be even to do a little bit more. And then Jalen Hurts. Uh personally, I don't think Jalen Hurts is a great quarterback in the NFL. But we're talking about fantasy. We're talking about winning fantasy games, and Jalen's legs get points, and that's that's just the fact. So Jalen, he will not throw for 4,000 yards. He's never done it. He's not going to do it. He's just not that type of quarterback. He is not a passer of the football. Yes, he will have some games where he throws for 300 yards, but he's not a passer. I mean, let's be honest. But he will get you the rushing yards and the rushing touchdowns. So that puts him in tier two. And then Trevor Lawrence. I've been hard on Trevor Lawrence since he's been in the NFL. Uh, I've always said he's overrated. And last year, he he made me eat my words. Trevor Lawrence had a good year last year. I was giving the Jags a lot of hell for spending the money they did on Trevor Lawrence. And, you know, he played really well last year, and so that doesn't that contract doesn't look as bad. Now, he hasn't had two consistent back-to-back years, I don't think, in his NFL career. So I would have Trevor Lawrence on the back list of this tier two because we don't know if last year was a fluke. So, but he can run the ball. He can run the ball a little bit, and they were running the ball with him more last year, and I think that's why he had a better year is because they were he was passing too much, I think, uh his first few years in the NFL and not using his legs like we saw at Clemson a little bit. So T Law, tier two, but at the back end, and then Justin Herbert, kind of like Trevor Lawrence, you know, can run if he needs to, can go get the first down, tough guy, can throw for 4,000 yards. Uh but again, if he doesn't throw for 4,000 yards and he throws for a little bit under 4,000 yards, it's gonna feel like he threw for 4,000 yards because of what he can do with his legs and the points that he can get you, the empty points, uh, the hidden points that he can get you with his legs in games. So that is the end of tier two. Now moving on to tier three, these guys I have labeled as one-dimensional or inconsistent. Okay. So I got Mahomes, Purdy, Caleb Williams, Bo Nicks, Jared Goff, Jackson Dart, Joe Burrow, Jaden Daniels, Baker Mayfield, Jordan Love, and Sam Darnold. Okay, now we're getting to a point. Hey, if I'm trying to win a fantasy league, I don't want any tier three guys on my roster. I shouldn't say on my roster. I would be fine with them being my backup, but I don't want tier three guys my starter week in, week out. We're playing with fire. And the one-dimensional guys, this year is going to be Mahomes because with the ACL injury, with the ACL tear, I don't think it's a smart decision, let's just say that, to have Mahomes running the ball this year. Purdy, you know, he can move around and extend plays, but he's not much of a rusher. Uh Jared Goff, you know, bricks for feet, doesn't run at all. He'll throw for 4,000 yards every year. But you're missing out on so many points. I mean, he essentially has to throw for 5,000 yards to make up for the points that Josh Allen does when he throws for 3,900 yards but rushes for 600 and has 10 rushing touchdowns. So uh Jared Goff, for that reason, is in the tier three because yes, he'll he'll throw for top three yards, but I mean, he might run for 50 yards the entire year. Jackson Dart and Caleb Williams, these guys are my inconsistent guys. We just don't know. Caleb Williams, he had a good year last year. Rookie year, kind of shaky. So are we going to see him put back-to-back good years? I don't know. No one knows. We it's just a shot in the dart. Shot in the dark. Uh Dart, same thing. I wouldn't say he's inconsistent, but he's like Caleb Williams. We just don't know. We don't know how good he is. Um he does run, though. He does run a little bit. So I wouldn't say he's one-dimensional, but we just don't know. We don't have enough on Jackson Dart. Joe Burrow, one-dimensional. He is just a thrower. You can have guys that throw for 4,000 yards, I'll keep saying it, and a lot of touchdowns, and they're still behind guys like Jalen Hurts who don't throw for as many touchdowns or yards, and you're thinking, how can Jalen Hurts be a better fantasy quarterback option than Joe Burrow? I mean, Joe Burrow threw for so many more yards and such a better passer of the football and scores more touchdowns throwing the ball. Well, if he has a hundred yards rushing for the entire year, that's when Jalen Hurts or the running quarterbacks make up for it. Jaden Daniels, I think he is inconsistent. Kind of the same with, let's just say, let's throw out last year. It's like Caleb Williams and Jackson Dart. Young quarterbacks, year three for Jaden Daniels, will throw out last year. He didn't have a good start to the year. It wasn't looking like it was going to be like his rookie season. Uh, but we don't know what he's gonna be in the NFL just yet. So because of that, Jaden Daniels is in tier three. Baker Mayfield. He does, he's kind of like Purdy, where he'll extend plays, uh, but he does run a little bit. He does run a little bit. Um, but I think Baker is kind of in the inconsistent category. You know, last year, throughout the first month, month and a half, Baker Mayfield was talked as the MVP front runner. And then as the season went on, Baker Mayfield wasn't anywhere near the MVP race, and he he kind of tapered off. And we saw that with his years in Cleveland, too. He had a good year and then he had a bad year. So um I like Baker Mayfield, but I got him in the inconsistent category. Jordan Love doesn't run the ball. Uh and then at the at the same time, he doesn't throw for a ton of yards either. Um personally, the the Green Bay offense, I don't know if I'll draft any guys on the Green Bay offense. It's one of the hardest teams to get production out of on your fantasy team. You know, there's not a receiver on that team that went for a thousand yards last year. I don't know if there will be a receiver on that team that goes for a thousand yards this year. Tucker Kraft, the tight end, uh more hype than production, in my opinion. So Jordan Love, he can throw for a lot of yards, um, but he doesn't run the ball, and it's not guaranteed that he'll throw for a ton of yards. And then Sam Darnold, he is he is like a poor man's Matt Stafford. You know, he'll have games where he lights it up and throws for a lot of yards, but again, not a runner of the football. So that wraps up my tier three, and then last but not least, tier four. And I have this labeled as you are cooked if these guys are your starter. So I have Daniel Jones, Jacoby Brissett, Kyler Murray, C.J. Stroud, Tyler Sha, Aaron Rodgers, Bryce Young, Tua, or Michael Penix, Malik Willis, Geno Smith, Shadur Sanders, Sean, Deshaun Watson, or Cam Ward. So how many guys is that? One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. So 14 quarterbacks, let's say 13 starters, because I have, well, I will say 12 starters, because I have Tua or Penix, and then I got uh Sanders and Watson both on the same team. So 12, 12 guys, 12 teams. Uh if you have any of these guys as you're like starting quarterback for the entire fantasy football season, I think you're cooked. I think your team has no chance of making the playoffs, being good in the playoffs, unless you just, I don't know, unless you just have a crazy stack of receivers and running backs and they all stay healthy. Um so Daniel Jones, that was a one-hit wonder, I think, last year. I don't, especially coming off an Achilles injury. Uh even when he was playing, they were winning last year and he was playing well, I don't think he was like a tier one or a tier two quarterback. So uh still he still was kind of a fringe starter. Jacoby Brissett, uh not much to say. Veteran, veteran quarterback, veteran presence presence. Um he'll have some good games, he'll have some bad games, but I don't think week in, week out, you can have him starting for your team and you're confident going into that week. Kyler Murray on the small side, um, you know, used to run a little bit, but I don't think runs that much anymore. So you take the legs out of Kyler Murray, uh, just you're cooked. Your team's cooked. CJ Stroud doesn't run at all, uh, doesn't throw for a ton of yards. Um, you know, he might not even be a starter in the NFL for very much longer. Tyler Shaw, I don't know much about this guy, but uh doesn't seem to be much of a runner. And I just I don't have a lot of stock in the Saints offense doing great things this year. Uh solid quarterback, though, gets you some wins. Um love the story behind him, you know, playing in college for a long time and getting a chance to play for start for the Saints. So solid starter for the Saints, but Saints for but not for your team. Aaron Rodgers, we all know this, uh, not a runner at all anymore. Understandable, he's in his 40s. He also doesn't throw for four 4,000 plus yards anymore, so that's a double whammy right there. Doesn't get a lot of yards, doesn't run the ball. Bryce Young, same thing. Doesn't pass for a lot of yards, doesn't run the ball. Two or my or Michael Penix. I was high on Michael Penix coming out of college, uh, and I still think he could be a starter and throw for a lot of yards. I don't think running or rushing is wise for him with the injury pass that he's had in his NFL career and his college career, uh, and maybe even dating back to high school. So we're gonna take his rushing completely out of it. Tua, same thing. He's got an injury history. He literally can't run the ball anymore if he wants to stay away from concussions and wants to prolong his NFL career. So both Tua and Penix got to be strictly yardage guys for your team. And I don't see these guys throwing for 4,200 yards and 30 touchdowns. Malik Willis, now this this one's a little interesting. He might be able to creep up to that tier three, um, the inconsistent field uh because he can run the ball a little bit. He is young and he has played well as a starter for the Green Bay Packers. But that Dolphins offense does not look enticing whatsoever. I don't know who their receivers are. Uh they're starting Greg Dulcich as their their tight end, uh 2022 third-round draft pick by the Broncos, I think. Never worked out. Um so if like that people are saying he's like a sleeper, and if if that is what I'm hearing, that Greg Dulcich is like a sleeper and like could be like a focal point of the Dolphins offense, I'm just not high on that offense at all. So Malik Willis being the quarterback for that offense, I'm just not high on. So I got him in the tier four. Geno Smith, um, he I mean, he's just inconsistent and one-dimensional. Um, and then he had a really bad year last year. So, I mean, he could be in that tier three. You know, that was the one-dimensional or inconsistence. He is both of those, but he was also just horrific last year, like 19 touchdowns, 17 interceptions. So, and then he's going to a horrific organization. Sorry, Jets fans, but that organization isn't ran well to just bring in a veteran quarterback and then he just turned his career around. So that one's kind of self-explanatory. And then Shadur Sanders or Deshaun Watson, again, terribly ran organization. I'm sorry to my family and friends that are Browns fans, but you know it, I know it, we all know it. So I don't expect either one of those guys to put up crazy fantasy. I don't expect them to put up 3,500 passing yards. I don't think I expect them to put it up 500 rushing yards. So um heavily fading both of those guys in tier four. And then Cam Ward, uh a nice young prospect, uh, can move around, extend plays. I think it's more of extending plays than it is actually rushing the ball. Um, but you know, he's still got a lot to learn. He's still a ways away from for before he's throwing 4,000 yards and even 25 touchdowns, 30 touchdowns. So because of that, he is in tier four. So um wrapping this all up, I don't think the quarterback position in fantasy football is um so deep as people think. So I listed the 12 to 14 guys in tier four that are just complete non-starters for me. And then the tier three guys, I also think um they're not non-starters, but I'm not confident. I'm not going into every matchup like, man, my quarterback is going to, I'm not gonna lose the week because of my quarterback. So, you know, you got Mahomes, Purdy, Caleb, Nicks, Goff, Dart, Burrow, Daniels, Baker, Love, Darnold. So that's 11 guys, and then 12 guys from the tier four. So we're looking at 23 guys. Uh, you know, I think there's 23 quarterbacks that I I don't want as my starter. With my strategy and how I like to play fantasy football, there's only a handful of guys that I want that I'll draft, and I feel like they're going to be my starter each and every week. Because that's the thing. If you take a tier one or a tier two quarterback early, you can draft, you know, around six through eight when guy when teams are picking up quarterbacks. You can draft the best available wide receiver, best available tight end or running back, and then you don't have to draft another quarterback at all. You can pick up one of these tier three or tier four guys uh on the waiver wire when your guy is on a bye, when your quarterback is on a buy, and then you got an extra spot, an extra roster spot, an extra dart to try to get a sleeper pick in the late rounds. Now, when people say, oh, they're so it's the the the league is so deep uh for quarterbacks, a lot of those teams, a lot of those guys that say that and they wait on quarterbacks, they they out of necessity have to draft two quarterbacks because they're like, man, uh, is Brad Purdy going to be good for me every week? You know, maybe I need to draft Birdie and then I need to also like go get Darnold. But when you draft Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson, you're like, that's my starter each and every week. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. So I think tier one, tier two, if you have one of these quarterbacks as your starter, you're pretty confident going in week in, week out, that these are gonna be your starters. So that again, that's Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Drake May, Jalen Hurts, Matt Stafford, Dak Prescott, and then on the very end of this list, I have Trevor Lawrence and Justin Herbert. So how many guys is that? Eight guys. So in my opinion, there's eight guys that you know are true weekend, week out starters on your fantasy football team. That is it for the 2026 fantasy QB rankings, tiers one through four, in my personal opinion. Uh I know everyone has their opinion, but this is what I think. Um I think you should take Josh Allen, number one, your number one overall pick, and there's a 90% chance whether you have pick number one, you have pick number six, or you have pick number twelve in your fantasy football draft this year, I think you will be able to take Josh Allen with your first overall pick, and I think you will like it. I really do. Um so that is it for that. I will do a pod on receivers. Uh what should I do next? Receivers or running backs? I think I'm gonna go receivers and then running backs, uh, the rankings. So I'll do receiver rankings next, then I'll do running back rankings, and then maybe tight end rankings, um, possibly a defense, definitely not a kicker though. So I'm not doing kicker rankings. Um but we'll do receivers next because if I were to pick between running backs and receivers in the first round, I personally like to go receivers. I've been uh running backs have just hurt hurt my my seasons too much for me to go heavily on running backs in the first couple rounds. So that is it. We will be back. Uh sorry about the wait, uh, but life has been life and been busy. Uh but football's right around the corner, so um you know, do your research. Don't go into your draft and just go off the ESPN one through two hundred um cheat sheet that everybody at your draft has, everybody in the draft room, have your own style, have your own research, uh, have your own sheet. Um you want to be different. You draft the same way as everybody else, you draft from the same sheet, um you might have similar results. So what do I know? Stay blessed, uh deuces.
