Harris Fantasy Football Podcast

Let's finish the countdown of our 2026 Flag Players list. These are the guys we're most interested in drafting in fantasy football this year, given their combination of talent, opportunity and potential draft value. Then we'll move right on to the Frag Players, in which we do the opposite: we're listing players we absolutely don't want any part of in '26. Guest: Cousin Josh.

The Flag List begins today! That means we're making ourselves pick *TEN* players whom we recommend drafting at their current values. Anyone can proclaim they "love" a wide range of possible draftees. We're putting flags in the ground and making these ten players our essentials for fantasy football in 2026. Also: let's evaluate our own suppositions about situations! What offenses might we simply have wrong, that might torpedo (or elevate) certain guys in our ranks? Guest: Matt Harmon of Yahoo! Fantasy and ReceptionPerception.com.

It's finally time to start looking at fantasy football value for 2026! That process begins with us cracking open Average Draft Position, which we'll do on the show today.

We'll tell you, plus we'll talk about injuries to Breece Hall, Emeka Egbuka, Jordyn Tyson and Kyle Monangai, and the Colts signing Keenan Allen. Guest: Dave Kluge of FootballGuys.com.

There's been a lot of sunshine spread around about many NFL rookies heading into the 2026 season. Should you believe it all? Of course not! Should you believe some of it? Definitely! But which parts? We need an expert, and that's why we've got the best on today's show. We'll go through as many rookies as we can squeeze into one podcast, and talk about how they've performed thus far, and whether we think it'll continue into the '26 regular fantasy football season. Guest: Matt Waldman of Footballguys.com and the Rookie Scouting Portfolio.

For the first time, we're cracking open ADP! Real actual drafts are starting right about now, and we really don't *care* what ADP says in freaking July! But now the data starts getting interesting, so we'll start combing through -- and that process begins today with a look at the first three rounds of ADP. We'll talk about each player and assess how much risk we think each player has, assigning a Risk Factor of 1 through 10. Plus updates on the hamstrings of Chuba Hubbard and Jordyn Tyson, and a winner for the Cousin Josh Mock Draft Pound Foolish drawing. Guest: Cousin Josh.
