Every league has each of these guys and I can guarantee you you’re probably one of them. What’s the most infuriating type of fantasy player to play in a league with?
Here are our 3 favorite types of fantasy football players…
The Casual
We all know this guy, the one who shows up on draft day and had no idea Mike Evans was on the 49ers, or that Kenneth Walker was on the chiefs. He is so confused why everybody’s talking about J. Love this year, “the Packers are so mid” he says in disgust. He loves the older guys that were relevant a couple years ago when he had more time to follow the league. Like he has NO idea how you guys let Derrick Henry slip into the second round. Then the cherry on top, he drafts a Kicker and Defense in rounds 9 and 10 to fill out a starting lineup. You sit and you watch this guy draft chuckling to yourself because you’ve read every guide and know sooo much better… and then this guy beats you week 1 and makes the playoffs over you because fantasy is cruel.
The Rebuilder
This is the guy who is perpetually "one year away." They start every season saying this is the year it all comes together. By week 4 he's had two bad games and he's already blowing it up. Trades his best player for picks. As a result, he’s had multiple top 3 picks over the years and yet somehow still has nothing to show for any of them. He’ll draft a guy first overall, be in love with him for 8 months, then sell him for 60 cents on the dollar the second things go south. Always has "assets" but never has a team. He’ll show you his pick capital like it's a stock portfolio. Meanwhile none of it’s paying off because he hasn't made the playoffs in three years.
The Leprechaun
Nothing ever goes wrong for this guy, it’s like he has a horseshoe up you know where. The Leprechaun isn’t always a bad fantasy football player, he’s just lucky. That backup RB he drafted in the 13th round? The starter tore his ACL in week 2, so now he’s the guy. He scored the 9th most points on the week? No problem. His opponent scored the 10th. He was mediocre all year and barely secured the 6 seed? He’s going on a Cinderella run all the way to a Championship win. Good or bad, this guy somehow seems to always stumble his way into a better season than he deserves.
We’re comparing some of the biggest names in fantasy football to some of the biggest movies in Hollywood, then giving a Buy or Sell tag on each for 2026.
What movie best represents your favorite dynasty asset? Here were our favorite comps…
Dak Prescott: Fight Club (Spoilers)
I had to go with this one because it feels like there’s a rule that you can’t talk about Dak Prescott in fantasy football. Since 2019, Dak Prescott has finished as the overall QB2, QB7, QB3, and QB5. Seems like Dak Prescott should be talked about way more, but those are his finishes odd numbered season. However in even numbered years it almost feels like Dak has a…split personality. Since 2018, even numbered seasons he’s finished as the overall QB32, QB18, and QB31. Those finishes were largely due to injury though (nobody comes out of fight club entirely unscathed). Dak Prescott will finish 2026 exactly how the Narrator finished things in Fight Club, shedding his split personality and lighting everything on fire en route to another Top-12 finish.
Kyle Pitts: Jurassic Park
Kyle Pitts is not only Jurassic Park the movie, but he is Jurassic Park the park. Coming out of college, he seemed like an impossibly awesome prospect that was once in a lifetime. People said he was not only the best TE in the 2021 draft class, but also the best receiver in the class, which is largely why he was selected before Ja’Marr Chase. People also viewed Jurassic Park as a wonderful mesmerizing unique opportunity at first, and just like many of the initial guests at the park thought it seemed too incredible to fail, many fantasy football fanatics looked at Kyle Pitts’ rookie season as the beginning of something special. It’s only then that many people, and many people’s fantasy football teams, were tragically destroyed. Jurassic Park turned into an unmitigated disaster that nobody saw coming. But right when we were all ready to shut it down, Jurassic Park was reborn again in glorious fashion. Hollywood started making more Jurassic Park movies, and Pitts started scoring more fantasy points, finishing as the TE2 in 2025. So what lies ahead? Well, if you’ve seen the movies or have any common sense whatsoever, you know that dinosaurs keep eating people and the park remains a disaster. I fear the same for Pitts who I view as someone who enjoyed flukey flashes of ecstasy as opposed to sustainable production.
We’re ranking the Top-24 rookies for 2026 rookie drafts! Here are a couple of our favorite picks, but let us know who your favorite sleeper is for rookie drafts…
1.02 - Carnell Tate
Let’s start on an easy one here. I think even in superflex leagues we can agree that Tate is in a tier of his own above Fernando Mendoza. The Titans put their money where their mouth is for the electrifying Ohio State superstar using their 4th overall pick to make sure if Cam Ward fails, it’s not on them. The target competition outside of Wan’Dale Robinson is minimal and Tate has an opportunity to make an immediate impact in what could be one of the most fun young stacks in fantasy football.
1.10 - De'Zhaun Stribling
He may not have been an early second round pick according to the internet’s big boards, but he was according to John Lynch and Kyle Shanahan’s big boards. Mike Evans will get his, but if it’s true that they plan to reduce CMC’s workload moving forward l, there could certainly be a lot of targets for Stribling just this season as Jauan Jennings is out of the building and Kittle will look to work his way back. For the long term, outside of Ricky Pearsall, who still has not proven he’s capable of demanding serious targets, Stribling will compete with 32 year old Mike Evans, 32 year old George Kittle, and a 29 year old Christian Kirk who seems to be past his best days.
2.01 - Eli Stowers
I almost wanted to put him higher here. Despite starting his career behind Dallas Goedert on the depth chart, Stowers has the potential to be one of the most elite pass catching tight ends in the NFL. A wide receiver playing tight end, he’ll have the opportunity to command targets in an offense that is now without one of their most impactful red zone threats. Just last year, Stowers led NCAA tight ends in targets, was 2nd in receptions, and was 1st in receiving yards by over 70. Get Eli Stowers the ball in Philadelphia and good things will happen.
Today we're looking at Zay Flowers and projecting his outlook for the 2026 fantasy season.
The five components that make up the FPT-OR (Outlook Rating) are:
- Previous Season (What went well, and what didn't)
- Positional Consensus (How player is perceived to others in the position)
- Roster Composition (The assets and liabilities around them)
- Required Growth (Must-have and nice-to-have progressions)
- Performance Vulnerability (Floor and ceiling)
Zay Flowers quietly had a very productive season in 2025 finishing as the WR12. With many changes in Baltimore during the offseason, the question will be if Zay can maintain his role in the offense with his 8th highest target share in the NFL at 29%
Where do you have Zay Flowers relative to his dynasty price?

Breakdown of 3 of the Players Discussed:
Luther Burden III
Luther Burden is a great player at a bad price. His meteoric ascension started in Week 17 against San Francisco and got another massive push following the DJ Moore trade. But as good as we project this Chicago Bears passing game to be, we can’t be paying a WR19 price tag after just what we saw last year for a guy competing for targets with the likes of Colston Loveland and Rome Odunze.
George Pickens
Another great player at a bad price of WR11 (I think you see the trend here). The situation last year was a perfect storm, an absolutely abysmal Cowboys defense along with CeeDee Lamb missing time allowed George Pickens to put together a league winning season. But that may just exactly why if you sell him now, you could be selling at his peak. Sure CeeDee Lamb could get hurt again, but I’m not banking on that. What I’m certainly not banking on is the Cowboys defense being as bad and forcing the Cowboys to play constant catchup to the tune of 36.7 pass attempts per game (3rd in the NFL). The additions of Caleb Downs, Malachi Lawrence, and Jaishawn Barham are sure to improve this defense, plus there’s one more elephant in the room. Now franchise tagged, although unlikely, Pickens could still be moved this offseason. Even if he isn’t? He’ll likely be gone next season. Do you still want to price for George Pickens if he’s not a cowboy?
Garrett Wilson
Garrett’s big appeal last season was “this offense may be bad, but there’s really nobody else to throw to.” Well unfortunately now there is, as the New York Jets just spent two first round NFL draft picks on pass catchers in tight end Kenyon Sadiq and wide receiver Omar Cooper Jr. I know he’s been “QB-Proof” for much of his career, but to what end? He’s been better than he should be, but he’s not helping you win leagues the way you would want him to at that price so he’s a fade for the future on a New York Jets team that can’t get the QB position right
Some of our hottest takes that we discuss include Jaxson Dart as Fantasy Football's MVP this year, Makai Lemon shocking the league as the OROTY, and Derrick Henry still having it as he leads the NFL in rushing yards and TDs
What's your hottest take for Fantasy Football in 2026?
Danny from Fantasy Stock Exchange joins the show to talk 6 Best Buys for Dynasty Fantasy Football Right Now!
Breakdown of 3 of the Players Discussed:
Trevor Lawrence
Coming off his Age 26 season where he finished as the QB4 in PPG and yet we’re able to get this guy outside of the top 24 in startups.
Lawrence scored 23.3 PPG and the QB1 in fantasy after his bye week. He runs, he’s got arm talent, out of structure ability, and the Jaguars are one of the most insulated offenses in the league.
Colston Loveland
The issue isn’t that he’s ranked as the TE3, that’s correct, it’s how far away he’s ranked from Trey McBride. He scored 12.9 ppr ppg Weeks 7-18 when he started seeing consistent snaps. Down the stretch he was unstoppable with 10+ targets in each of his last 4 games (including 25 in his 2 playoff games) and 90+ receiving yards in 3 of those 4 games.
Loveland has a very valid case to be ranked over Mcbride, and yet the market treats them with a discrepancy. Only 22 years old and already producing at a high level and could genuinely be the #1 option in this ascending Bears offense.
Terry McLaurin
Plug your nose on this one, it’s a win-now move for contenders! Terry McLaurin and Jayden Daniels only played 3 games together last year, and Terry had to compete with Deebo Samuel for targets all year long. He still finished as the WR34 in PPG. Now Jayden Daniels is healthy, Deebo Samuel is gone, and the most that the Commanders did to address wide receiver depth was selecting Antonio Williams in the third round. Both redraft and dynasty prices for Jayden Daniels are pricing in a bounce back for 2026, and yet Terry’s value has been dropping in both formats.
It’s easy to forget if you turn the clocks back one season to 2024, Terry came within .1 points of Jaxon Smith-Njigba for the WR7. The upside is all here for Terry to have a massive 2026. You’re not betting on the future, as he’s 30 years old, but at a WR42 price tag (via KTC) he is well worth inquiring about if you’re looking to push for a championship this season.
How QB-Proof are some of Fantasy's top receivers? Let's dig into the quarterback situation for...
Drake London
Redraft Price: WR6 | Dynasty Price: WR8
Tua Tagovailoa & Michael Penix
Nico Collins
Redraft Price: WR9 | Dynasty Price: WR14
CJ Stroud
Garrett Wilson
Redraft Price: WR19 | Dynasty Price: WR12
Geno Smith
Do you trust these guys at their current price tag?
Tyreek Hill: Yes he's coming off an injury, he's older, and still a free agent. But Tyreek remains highly efficient with elite separation metrics and YPRR. We expect his market value to spike as soon as he's signed to his next team.
Jauan Jennings: Jauan was a quiet redzone monster for the 49ers last year, even when battling through injury. Jennings performed as a top-15 fantasy receiver during the second half of last season once he and Purdy were healthy and like Tyreek is a high-value trade target to snag before he signs and his value shoots up.
Tony Pollard: I know this is gross, and people are excited about Singleton, but I think people are mainly excited due to Tony Pollard fatigue and Pollard could genuinely be the RB1 in an ascending Tennessee Titans offense. He is currently drafted at a steep discount for contending teams.
Chig Okonkwo: One of the newest Washington Commanders as of this offseason, Okonkwo was being viewed as a TE1 in dynasty just 3 years ago and now looks to build on his career-best season. Pair him with Jayden Daniels, who dragged Zach Ertz to a TE7 finish, and he has the makings for an incredible post-hype sleepe
Kyler Murray: Here's our guy! Now fully recovered from his ACL injury three years ago, and joining the Minnesota Vikings over the offseason, Kyler Murray has the best receivers of his career and a head coach that has been at the forefront of the NFL's biggest reclamation projects at QB (Just look at Sam Darnold). Kyler's market price has risen since he got to Minnesota and yet he's STILL underpriced.
