[SPEAKER_00]: Good morning friends and enemies.
[SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back into rankings week where we will wrap up after we've done running backs We've done wider severs this video will actually be a combination of quarterbacks and tight-ends There's nobody got time for two of those videos So we'll be running through my top 20 quarterback rankings for the 2026 fantasy season as always We will be tearing them.
[SPEAKER_00]: We will be talking about them in the tight-end position I will be doing my top 15 rankings and tears
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you have not yet watched the running back end or wide receiver version of these videos, they will be linked in the show notes below as we'll timestamps for every single player.
[SPEAKER_00]: We always do that for y'all because we love you.
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't hate you even though some of you are enemies.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll jump into the quarterbacks first elite QB1 tier.
[SPEAKER_00]: We have Joshua Allen out Buffalo.
[SPEAKER_00]: We have Lamar Jackson in Baltimore.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't, I just don't think there's a lot of explanation needed here with Josh Shannon.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's been a top two fans of quarterback for about six straight years.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we're good there.
[SPEAKER_00]: The more Jackson also finds himself in this tier, okay?
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm very much in on a Lamar Jackson bounce back.
[SPEAKER_00]: I will be drafting him as if this was 22, 23, 24.
[SPEAKER_00]: over again he dealt with the hamstring last year and to me that was almost the entirety of what happened with Lamar Jackson when you look at his Russia temps last year something that I brought up a few times throughout the summer like the rush temp numbers every single year are insanely high and then last year look at the outlier you see played a few less games
[SPEAKER_00]: 67, like you tell me where the ally is here and you tell me where he normally is as a player.
[SPEAKER_00]: So the hamstring, I think, just dunked his season and fully in on a bounce back for Lamar Jackson.
[SPEAKER_00]: Don't think he's at the end of his career despite being in the prime of his career.
[SPEAKER_00]: So do you have Lamar Jackson as an elite quarterback this year once again in fantasy?
[SPEAKER_00]: The only downside I could see is a little bit of risk switching to a new offensive coordinator Tom Monk in now in Cleveland, but like,
[SPEAKER_00]: Some large accent, man.
[SPEAKER_00]: What are we doing?
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll move on to tier number two.
[SPEAKER_00]: And this is a very big tier.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the strong quarterback one tier where, listen, if you're in a one quarterback league and any of these guys are your starters, I think you're going to be fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: If they're your quarterback one in a super flex league, I think you're going to be fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: My general strategy when it comes down to super flex leagues is that, you know,
[SPEAKER_00]: decide on the 14, 17, 19 quarterbacks that you would be comfortable starting in a one cuby league and then make sure you get two of the quarterbacks within that range.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think you need to have a first round pick.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think you need a Josh Allen, a Lamar.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think you need to spend up for a borrower, Jane Daniels.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think you could be fine with a combination of Trevor Lawrence and Jackson Dart or Drake May and Jordan Love.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, we'll talk about a little bit later in this video, but we have the strong quarterback one tier and for the most part it is the best pocket passers in the NFL and then young
[SPEAKER_00]: athletic upside quarterbacks who add a nice rushing floor here.
[SPEAKER_00]: So Barrow, you know, he's probably got the most live arm in the NFL.
[SPEAKER_00]: If not, you know, one of them got Jamar Chase T Higgins, a bad defense still going to throw the ball six hundred times and probably put up forty eight hundred yards.
[SPEAKER_00]: So,
[SPEAKER_00]: Now over thinking, Burl there, Jaden Daniel's another one that I'm super in on just betting on a bounce back after the explosive rookie season.
[SPEAKER_00]: And just like for those guys where you don't have to worry about, like his passing touchdown rate falling off or him even being an incredible quarterback and him needing to get to the level of QB play accuracy wise that he was as a rookie because the rushing floor is so high.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think people kind of forget that he's a dude that can pop off or.
[SPEAKER_00]: 35 fantasy points on a given week because he can rip off his 60 art touchdown run.
[SPEAKER_00]: So Jayden another dude.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm very much buying back in on for 20 26 getting rid of Cliff King's Barry.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's going to be huge for this offense and just being more progressive and in the lounge and day and those I think to do what he does best there is probably the thing I'm most excited for in this offense.
[SPEAKER_00]: Just in Herbert, I very high much higher than consensus in quarterback rankings.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've talked about him a lot this off season.
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought the health of the offensive line getting slater and Joe Altback is huge.
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, they drafted Jake Slaughter in the second round this year to shore up the interior as well as signing Tyler B. Otis to further.
[SPEAKER_00]: Secure that into your offensive line.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think they're offensive line now becomes an asset for the team They bring in Mike McDaniel just in Herbert also showed an awesome rushing ability similar to like Trevor Lawrence last year We're now that becomes an asset.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think all these things for fantasy are kind of aligning to see a pop pop pop here from Herbert Even though we saw that like you through for 5,000 yards a second year in the NFL one of nine quarterbacks all time to do it And now you sprinkle in McDaniel very creative offensive mind
[SPEAKER_00]: Now you sprinkle in that rushing ability that he showed last year, second in the NFL and rushing yards last year among quarterbacks.
[SPEAKER_00]: So Herbert, I think kind of is the total package that people are not really looking at it from a fantasy perspective that way.
[SPEAKER_00]: Drake may another guy would just a lot of rushing upside.
[SPEAKER_00]: A little bit weary just because like I know he's a pretty popular pick at quarterback three, four, five in that range.
[SPEAKER_00]: I have him at quarterbacks six.
[SPEAKER_00]: Only because I still do worry a little bit about like the schedule being a bit tough this year as compared to last year where you know when we got into the playoffs and he was playing harder teams and the defense has got tougher he struggled a little bit there so I will say you know there I think there's a world where like he finishes as the quarter
[SPEAKER_00]: back eight nine or 10 this year.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think I'd rather just not pay that like premium like we saw with Jade and Daniels last year and kind of just throw them into the mix and it's like if he falls to me, cool, you know, if they did at AJ Brown, obviously a huge boost to him, grab Romeo Dobbs.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think the the weaponry there is definitely better, but I worry a little bit about the struggle to see had against really really good defenses last year, but also provides great rushing upside.
[SPEAKER_00]: Same thing with Trevor Lawrence.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we saw that side of his game really like flourish last year quarter back seven love the receiver groups between Parker Washington, Jacob, Meyers, Brian Thomas, Jr. Brent and Strange, based on two and out of the backfield, Liam Cohen just being the designer that offense, Travis Hunter is like your fifth weapon in the offense.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think what Trevor Lawrence did on the ground last year to me is really sticky.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think they're going to continue to use him inside the 10 and 5 yard line because that's a great weapon for them.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's going to get nine rushing touchdowns.
[SPEAKER_00]: No, but
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's probably a dude who will annually rip off somewhere between like four or five, six.
[SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, maybe the touchdown rate does duplicate again and he goes for six or seven.
[SPEAKER_00]: And at that point, you are looking at again, a top five fantasy quarterback.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think things are starting to click because they got weapons that Trevor Lawrence can trust.
[SPEAKER_00]: They got our offensive scheme.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's really, really good.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, too lot of me.
[SPEAKER_00]: feels like what he did in fantasy last year, whether or not you believe in his arm, like his accuracy, I'm a downed out basis, not of a concern to us this year in fantasy.
[SPEAKER_00]: I just think the the overall situation for Trevor Lawrence, what we saw last year should be really exciting going into this year.
[SPEAKER_00]: And if he was my quarterback one, I'd be fine with it.
[SPEAKER_00]: And again, all these guys are kind of in the same tier where feel good about all them being my starter, same thing with Jalen Hertz.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the biggest situation change here.
[SPEAKER_00]: loses AJ Brown, but to be honest with you, getting rid of Kevin Patulo and that terrible offensive scheme and play calling there to me is the world of difference.
[SPEAKER_00]: Because again, you're not drafting Jalen Hertz to be a due to throws for 4,500 yards and 35 passing touchdowns.
[SPEAKER_00]: What you need from Jalen Hertz is him to get back to scoring 10, 12, 14 rushing touchdowns.
[SPEAKER_00]: And when he does that, he's a due to
[SPEAKER_00]: and really average is over 20 points per game.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think Devante Smith is going to be able to step up.
[SPEAKER_00]: Dale Scott, it was really good for them last year.
[SPEAKER_00]: They also drafted McCoy Lemon in the first round.
[SPEAKER_00]: Eli Stowers, we'll see how involved he gets this year, but I think we'll have a healthier offensive line.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll have a better play call and a better offensive scheme.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm also very, very optimistic about a nice bounce back for dealing hurts, getting back to that 8 to 12 rushing touchdown.
[SPEAKER_00]: Mark and therefore submitting himself as a really nice mid quarterback one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Stafford comes in at quarterback nine off of his MVP season, obviously, just an unbelievable talent throwing the football.
[SPEAKER_00]: Puka the Vante Adams, the scheme was Sean McVay the offensive line.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got it all.
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say I think like the touchdown rate is naturally going to regress a little bit.
[SPEAKER_00]: And one of my other concerns is that the defense now with Miles Garrett and adding all these cornerbacks to the room.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like they're going to be so good on the defensive side of the ball that there will be so few games in which they're going to need to throw the ball, you know, 35 to 40 times,
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, it wasn't always the case last year, either in Stafford would just so efficient inside the red zone and so efficient inside the 10 yard line.
[SPEAKER_00]: It was like a passing touchdown every time they got in there, but I can see the volume just taking a little bit of a step back, given the fact that their defense is so good.
[SPEAKER_00]: They also have a pretty tough schedule this year.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right after Stafford, we have kind of a similar player in Dak Prescott where I think they're going to throw the bally tonne.
[SPEAKER_00]: I really like the scheme from Shoddy out there, George Pickins, CD Lamb, Jake Ferguson, good offensive line, like everything I think is working in Dak Prescott's favor.
[SPEAKER_00]: He just doesn't really add the rushing upside that he did early on in his career where it's like Dak Prescott, I think this is just up to how my head, I believe he had six rushing touchdowns in each of the first three seasons he was in the NFL.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was kind of like that underrated, you know, the Trevor Lawrence of right now, the Justin Herbert of right now where you're like, all right, he's got a live arm, but he also adds this like floor of rushing ability to it where he doesn't really have that anymore.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that can be supplemented obviously by these massive passing games.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think we'll see that a lot with that.
[SPEAKER_00]: But, you know.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's in here, again, fine with him as my QB1.
[SPEAKER_00]: They run a lot of play action.
[SPEAKER_00]: They run a lot of plays.
[SPEAKER_00]: They run a lot of passing plays, especially.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, love the offensive environment.
[SPEAKER_00]: Same thing with Brock Perti.
[SPEAKER_00]: Another dude who's just underrated in fantasy and has been for the last couple of years was like the quarterback.
[SPEAKER_00]: Think three or four in overall points per game last year.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he missed a lot of time and Matt Jones played a lot, but when Perti was on the field, his touchdown rate is always so high because Kyle Shanahan is such a good play caller.
[SPEAKER_00]: They lose a lot of pieces in the receiver game.
[SPEAKER_00]: but they do bring in Mike Evans, obviously.
[SPEAKER_00]: They bring in Christian Kirk, they draft tripling very early in the second round.
[SPEAKER_00]: Kittle will see, you know, I kind of think Kittle will talk about him a little bit later in the video, but he'll probably be more of a red zone target than the explosive playmaker, but he's still of Christian McAfrey.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully we can get a full 17 that a Ricky Pierce saw, but oh,
[SPEAKER_00]: Overall, I'm not concerned about the weapons group, despite it being such a high-turn overrate and churn rate.
[SPEAKER_00]: Over the last few years, it's just like Kyle Shanahan, Brock Perti, love the combination.
[SPEAKER_00]: As you can see, his Vegas line here, 27 and a half, which rivals deck press got.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's below guys like Joe Borough and Matt Stafford, but it's still above almost all the Russian quarterbacks to buff Drake made to buff Trevor Lawrence.
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously above Jalen Hertz, but above all these other guys too.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think Brock Perty will get it done through the air.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's another dude who is liable to go off for four or five, six rushing touchdowns any given year, which he did last year.
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's another little added floor.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they they liked to let him use his legs.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's got a sneaky floor because of it.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've got Caleb Williams at Quarterback 12, which is significantly lower than 80p.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's up at Quarterback 7 in 80p.
[SPEAKER_00]: So on five spots lower, fine to have him as my Quarterback 1.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not going to be someone I saw or I heard recently that his 80p and like super flex leagues on Underdog right now is at the one to turn.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's like the 11th or 12th pick.
[SPEAKER_00]: which is crazy to me.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I wouldn't be taking him over guys like C-Mac or I'm on Ross Saint Brown.
[SPEAKER_00]: The offense I think needs to have a little bit more consistency on a down-to-down basis.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they want to move the ball through their run game.
[SPEAKER_00]: Caleb's awesome on the ground, he's so fucking fast.
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll have to see the completion rate from Caleb Williams again, that that's my biggest concern is like, can we see more consistency out of his arm being accurate and making smarter plays?
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think the explosiveness and the high upside plays on a down-to-down basis is kind of skewed the way that we're projecting Caleb Williams, but again, I'm making the case for why I have that quarterback 12, still a guy that would be fine with the quarterback one.
[SPEAKER_00]: Ben Johnson year two, the weapons are you know entering their prime right now, Carlson loves and Luther Bird and Roman Dunes a a good offensive line, a great scheme, a mobile quarterback.
[SPEAKER_00]: So find to have him, but won't be taking them above guys that I think are almost elite.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you have Jackson Dar, who's kind of like the most mystery box in here.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's the end of the strong quarterback to hear from me.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's quarterback 13, the rushing ability is crazy as you can see.
[SPEAKER_00]: His rushing yard line is at 450 and a half with five and a half touchdowns.
[SPEAKER_00]: That yardage line is higher than Jalen Hertz.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's higher than Drake May.
[SPEAKER_00]: His touchdown line is higher than Jalen Daniels.
[SPEAKER_00]: So they use them a ton inside, you know, inside the 10-yard line.
[SPEAKER_00]: He scrambles obviously a ton.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how much we can expect that of his arm.
[SPEAKER_00]: One, we don't really know how good of a quarterback.
[SPEAKER_00]: He is throwing the ball.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think that's a little bit of a question mark.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then obviously the weapons are a huge question mark in New York where Milly neighbors, the news has been really bad.
[SPEAKER_00]: He might start the year on the pump if not like almost more likely to happen.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then not happen.
[SPEAKER_00]: Juan del Robinson is no longer there.
[SPEAKER_00]: So
[SPEAKER_00]: The weapons in the passing game are questionable at best.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know how many games we're going to get out of Jackson's art where he throws from more than like 220 yards this year.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you're you're drafting Jackson's art as a guy who can like add a ton of explosive plays with his legs.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got the concussion concerns as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: So like if you want to throw that in there, a fact of that in there, but I'm fine with him down at quarterback 13.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this is probably about the right ranking when you factor in upside floor, all that kind of stuff together.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the final tier we will be talking about in this video is the strong streamers tier.
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got Patchmohomes, Bonix, Jordan Love, Kyler Murray, Tyler Schuck, and Jared Goff.
[SPEAKER_00]: My home is down here at Quarterback 14, that's right in line with ADP.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't think the fantasy community is dumb to like,
[SPEAKER_00]: The name patch Grimahomes being a really, really flashy guy.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's been subpar for the last, you know, three, 40 years in terms of fantasy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Last year, it really turned up because he uses legs a lot, but he's obviously coming off that torn ACL.
[SPEAKER_00]: The weapons group is fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: They bring in Kenneth Walker to be probably more of a presence in the ground game and like make the ground game much more of a presence in their offense.
[SPEAKER_00]: While Mohamed kind of returned from the ACL tear.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you have an aging Kelsey.
[SPEAKER_00]: You have a Rashi Rice who's great when he's on the field.
[SPEAKER_00]: A lot of off-the-field questions also not like a true alpha that you can kind of like
[SPEAKER_00]: on to separate on any given down.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not a huge Xavier worthy guy, so like, you know, I think they have a decent amount of like gimmicky guys in their offense.
[SPEAKER_00]: And like gone are the days where teams weren't playing cover two and we had Tyre kill and stuff like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: So with my homes, yeah, if it, if it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing, it's a good thing
[SPEAKER_00]: If he ends up being my, you know, quarterback 2 and super flex, I'm going to feel great about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, if I have the stream, I'm going to feel fine about that overall, not, you know, super excited about my homes at fantasy this year, but next right behind him, he's been a guy who's, you know, thrown the ball at ton the last couple of years and they have a great offensive line.
[SPEAKER_00]: You got a great scheme of Sean Payton, you add Jalen Wattled to the group and now that I'm kind of like talking about it out loud, but next is also a runner.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's coming off the fractured ankle, but I think he should be fully clear to go by training camps.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not overly concerned about.
[SPEAKER_00]: his short-term view with his ankle.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I actually now don't think about a might throw bonus over Patrick Mahomes here, but I think they're in the same kind of tier.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right after him, he's got Jordan Love at Quarterback 16.
[SPEAKER_00]: I love this spot for Jordan Love, and to be honest with you, like,
[SPEAKER_00]: I had trouble leaving him off the strong quarterback one tier.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like we saw him have such a big fantasy year in 2023.
[SPEAKER_00]: Haven't really had that come to fruition.
[SPEAKER_00]: We need a year where they lean a little bit more into the passing game.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think Jordan love can easily find himself as like a top eight fantasy quarterback again.
[SPEAKER_00]: We haven't really seen that since Josh Jacobs has come over.
[SPEAKER_00]: But Josh Jacobs is dealing with some off the field stuff where there's a world he gets suspended and they will have to lean a little bit more on Jordan love.
[SPEAKER_00]: The often
[SPEAKER_00]: of lines a little bit of concern, but we love the scheme.
[SPEAKER_00]: I've got them four spots above ADPs at quarterback 20, which I'd be super happy to get Jordan loves my quarterback too in super flex leagues.
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, overall I like the situation for love.
[SPEAKER_00]: I like love as a player.
[SPEAKER_00]: We just need to see a little bit of an uptick in in past attempts there in green bay.
[SPEAKER_00]: Next up, I've got Kyler Murray, who was a full fade for me last year.
[SPEAKER_00]: He moves over to Minnesota now, obviously.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's almost definitely going to win the starting job over JJ McCarty there.
[SPEAKER_00]: He got a phenomenal weapons group, got a phenomenal offensive scheme with KLC.
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, really good offensive line.
[SPEAKER_00]: So all the weapons are there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Kyler Murray feels like a no-brainer quarterback to and super flex he will be a dude where if like if that opportunity presents itself I'd be happy to grab him there where it's like okay we're all off him because I think we've realized he's not a great NFL quarterback at this point but that doesn't matter in fantasy he's gonna run the ball he's got a great scheme he's got a great system he's got a great weapons group here his touchdown rate is really never going to be high like I'm really not expecting him to throw from any touchdowns as you could see Vegas's line for him is at 17 and a half.
[SPEAKER_00]: But on a game-by-game basis, I think you're going to see some really strong games for Kylo Murray, and you're going to be glad more often than not that you have them than you don't have them, especially at this price of quarterback 17.
[SPEAKER_00]: Last year he was going as like the quarterback 10 or 11, and I hated that price for him, but now you start to drop to the point where it's like, people don't really want him anymore, and I think he's kind of like the perfect play at this price.
[SPEAKER_00]: got a great playoff schedule, Detroit, Washington, the New York Jets, like, just doesn't get much better than that.
[SPEAKER_00]: I will say the only caveat that I kind of want to just put on record here.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't feel strongly about it.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I haven't really heard it talked about.
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think there's a world where Columari could get bench for, for some time this year for JJ McCarthy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not for like a talent perspective, but I think when you're a franchise that invest as much as you did into J.J. McCarty, you still want to keep them on a leash and like allow the opportunity to present itself to like see if there's something here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like clearly last year he wasn't ready, but you could see a world where they're like,
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, eight weeks in, 10 weeks into the season, and maybe they hit a stretch for collar marks, like really struggling, and the team goes, oh, and four at one point.
[SPEAKER_00]: And like JJ's obviously just sitting back there, learning, feeling more comfortable in the system, and they're like 10 weeks in, and they're like, okay, JJ's been playing well at practice.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, collar's really struggling, like JJ, you're going to start this upcoming week.
[SPEAKER_00]: And maybe it doesn't last long and JJ is just the same JJ he was last year, but I could see a world where like and I think that's probably why Kyler season long numbers are so so low because they're kind of baking in the risk of JJ getting a handful of stars, whether it's one or whether it's like two, three, four in that range could see that being an outcome.
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, not most likely outcome, but like obviously a franchise that invest that much like you want to see that player do well.
[SPEAKER_00]: And if they think he's playing well throughout the year and
[SPEAKER_00]: Does it last the full year?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like probably not, because I think we probably know what JJ is, but you never know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Right after Kyler, quarterback 18, we have Tyler Schuck, as you can see, just an unbelievably good schedule.
[SPEAKER_00]: For the Saints coming into the year, Tyler Schuck was great over the second half of the year.
[SPEAKER_00]: The ad Jordan Tyson, to that weapons group, to put them alongside Chris Alave.
[SPEAKER_00]: So now there is strong weapons group.
[SPEAKER_00]: You add Travis CTN into the backfield.
[SPEAKER_00]: The offensive line is really good.
[SPEAKER_00]: They sign David Edwards over from Buffalo who's going to, you know, shore up that offensive line.
[SPEAKER_00]: The pace in a calendar more offense is blistering.
[SPEAKER_00]: They are running so many plays per game.
[SPEAKER_00]: They are inside the dome.
[SPEAKER_00]: They got that turf.
[SPEAKER_00]: They've got almost all of their games in this great environment where you really won't have to worry about whether they're going to throw the ball a billion times like
[SPEAKER_00]: This is just on paper.
[SPEAKER_00]: When you do the math, people who do projections are going to love Tyler shook.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't have them super high because I'm like a little bit questionable on what is actual ceiling is over the course of a full season.
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, if he's my quarterback to and super flex, I feel pretty good about that.
[SPEAKER_00]: Lastly, the last quarterback we'll talk about quickly is Jared golf quarterback 19.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we know what Jared Goff is.
[SPEAKER_00]: His Vegas numbers are really strong.
[SPEAKER_00]: 4,000 passing hours 29 passing touchdowns.
[SPEAKER_00]: That's like right around where deck press got is.
[SPEAKER_00]: My concerns with Jared Goff would be twofold.
[SPEAKER_00]: We have the offensive line who have lost a lot of pieces over the last two off seasons.
[SPEAKER_00]: Taylor Decker's gone, Graham Blask out was gone.
[SPEAKER_00]: They lost, um, I don't know why it's not coming to my right now, uh, the guy who retired last year, but, you know, three other five starting line, and from like the last half to to full decade that people have gotten accustomed to knowing of the offensive line are not there anymore.
[SPEAKER_00]: And secondly, we've got Drew Petzing coming in the former Arizona offensive coordinator who was a mess.
[SPEAKER_00]: there in terms of the passing game.
[SPEAKER_00]: So those are the two downside cases, but even last year in the first year without Ben Johnson, Jared Goff still threw for like 4,500 yards, 30 plus touchdowns.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, and he's probably a bit underrated.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just, you know, he's just a little bit boring.
[SPEAKER_00]: So there you have it.
[SPEAKER_00]: The top 19 quarterbacks.
[SPEAKER_00]: We got Josh Allen, the Marjax, and Joe Barrow, Jaden Daniels, Justin Herbert, Drake May, Trevor Lawrence, Jalen Hertz, Matthew Stafford, deck Presscott, Rock Party, Caleb Williams, Jackson Dark, Patrick Mahomes, Bowdoinix, Jordan Love,
[SPEAKER_00]: Now we will move over to the Titan position, wrap this video up here.

[SPEAKER_00]: All right.
[SPEAKER_00]: Elite Titan 1 tier.
[SPEAKER_00]: Not too different than the quarter back to you here.
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got Brock Bowers as my Titan 1.
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got Trimic Ride as my Titan
[SPEAKER_00]: And two, which is actually how ADPCs it is well, they like powers over McBride.
[SPEAKER_00]: They're both great players, both going very early, Brock Bowers.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the bull case here is now we have real quarterbacks.
[SPEAKER_00]: We have either Kirk cousins who love starting tight ends and or for Nando Mendoza.
[SPEAKER_00]: The number one overall pick, but more importantly, you have a real offensive line there in Las Vegas with Colton Miller coming back and them signing Tyler Lindorbaum.
[SPEAKER_00]: But Clint Kubeyak comes in as the coach and that scheme is going to open things up for Brock Bowers.
[SPEAKER_00]: There is no target competition in Las Vegas right now.
[SPEAKER_00]: So Bowers could end up seeing 8, 10, 12 targets per game and just being a fucking monster this year.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, bride coming off one of the best fantasy seasons of all time.
[SPEAKER_00]: I just kind of question.
[SPEAKER_00]: Do they pass the ball as much as they did last year?
[SPEAKER_00]: Michael Wilson, Marvin Harris, and quarterback situation, Jacobi, Perset versus Carson, Beck kind of thing.
[SPEAKER_00]: So both studs though.
[SPEAKER_00]: Moving on to tier number two.
[SPEAKER_00]: This is the strong tight end one tier.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think all these guys outside of probably the last guy here will treat you very well in your lineup.
[SPEAKER_00]: That is Colson Lovelin at tight end three.
[SPEAKER_00]: Tyler Warren, Harold Fanon, Sam Laporta, Tucker Kraft, Dallas, Gotter and Kyle Pitz.
[SPEAKER_00]: Senior.
[SPEAKER_00]: So Colson Lovelin is the is the the apple of everyone's eye this off season and he was just so good over the second half of last year just dominating and targets per outrun yards per outrun became the centerpiece of the bears passing off ends and I think we're just going to see that.
[SPEAKER_00]: show itself more and more in year two and we could be in for an explosive year.
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, my biggest hesitation on his upside is literally just like, does the Chicago Bears passing offense top 4,000 yards?
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, and if they don't, can we have multiple weapons like really end up eating?
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think Lovelin ends up being probably the best player.
[SPEAKER_00]: In this offense, in 2026, in the fact that Ben Johnson went out, you know, obviously hand-picked them top 10 pick.
[SPEAKER_00]: We saw what he did with Sam Report in his rookie years.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think like, you know, the ceiling is incredibly high for dude like Colson Lovelin, and I've been completely talked into him this off season as the clear tight entry.
[SPEAKER_00]: Next up, we got Tyler Warren, and honestly, I would probably like him as much as I liked Colson Lovelin this year, had Daniel Jones not be coming off the injury, though I don't know how much that really affects him to be honest.
[SPEAKER_00]: You do have Michael Pittman out of the way, which is, you know, you can't really talk enough about how big of a target share impact that's going to be for guy like Tyler Warren and Josh Downs.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I go out of Pierce with kind of like weird reports about his ankle.
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't know if he's gonna be ready for week one.
[SPEAKER_00]: He might start the year on the pub.
[SPEAKER_00]: And if that's the case, I mean, Tyler Warren could have a, you know, a 25 to 30% target chair in this offense.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was phenomenal as a rookie.
[SPEAKER_00]: We need to see a little bit of a spike in touchdowns.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think to really see him get to his ceiling.
[SPEAKER_00]: But Warren was as good as any rookie tight and we've seen in previous years.
[SPEAKER_00]: So while I think Daniel Jones will be limited in terms of his mobility, I don't know how much that really impacts Tyler Warren, who is a guy who can play around the line of scrimmage.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not a guy like Alec Pierce who's running 50 yard fades down the field.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I don't really think the Daniel Jones injury is like super impactful to a dude like Tyler Warren and now you're looking at the rest of the receiver room like injury, injury, injury, warranty can have a ridiculously high target share.
[SPEAKER_00]: Helled Fanon is my Titan 5.
[SPEAKER_00]: I want to rank him higher.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's so fun.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's so explosive.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just such a good pass catching Titan, but as anyone can point out that has eyeballs.
[SPEAKER_00]: He is attached to the Cleveland Browns passing game, which I don't know if I can really happily project them to throw the ball for more than.
[SPEAKER_00]: 3,000 yards this year.
[SPEAKER_00]: On top of that, they drafted a first round wide receiver in case you can set up, you know, and they drafted a second round wide receiver in Denzel Boston.
[SPEAKER_00]: They have Jerry Judy so there.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm sure they want to try to establish our own Quintchon Judgen.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, while I do think how often and we'll probably be the most reliable week to week pass catcher, it's just scary, you know, attaching yourself to a Brown's team.
[SPEAKER_00]: So wish I got to rank them higher, but just can't do it, you know.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then we've got Sam Laporta.
[SPEAKER_00]: who I think he's just like a boring veteran to people, but I like Sam Report a man.
[SPEAKER_00]: If my fantasy team just has Sam Report is like the guy sitting in the, the way I like to approach side of that, and it's like, if I got an elite guy cool, if not, I still want a guy that I can rely on.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I want someone in the strong tight at one tier.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not one of those dudes who's like, all right, I'll fade all these guys and I'll just stack like two or three guys from the next tier and just like stream them on a wee tweet basis.
[SPEAKER_00]: I like, I like a dude who will go four for 50 every single week with the touchdown every other week.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like that to me is a great fantasy tight.
[SPEAKER_00]: When all is healthy, I think that Sam Laporta is the clear number two in the passing game.
[SPEAKER_00]: Behind I'm on Ross St. Brown.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think they do a lot of great things at Sam Laporta.
[SPEAKER_00]: He had the back injury last year, but from everything I've heard and expect you should be full go by training camp, and there's no actual residue left over from the injury to his back.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm full ahead of steam on Sam Laporta.
[SPEAKER_00]: And while I was talking about being pessimistic about Drew Pet Singh, I will say the one thing, if we look at the Arizona offense, who ate there?
[SPEAKER_00]: Who ate the running game was pretty good, but who ate there?
[SPEAKER_00]: Tray McBride, tight end.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, Samalporta, not concerned.
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a fan of Samalporta this year.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's like the boring guy who will drop to tight end, you know, eight, nine, 10 in a lot of your drafts.
[SPEAKER_00]: And you could feel pretty good just putting him in your line up and then not touching it again for the rest of the year.
[SPEAKER_00]: Tucker Craft, much higher upside play here.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think I'll probably own a lot of Tucker Craft this year.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's my tight end seven.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's coming back from a pretty significant ACL tear.
[SPEAKER_00]: But being 25 years old, typically the data does favor guys that are that young.
[SPEAKER_00]: Green Bay, if you guys watched my interview with Dr. Morris last week, you know, sports position, we went pretty in depth on Tucker craft.
[SPEAKER_00]: And he was, you know, a big proponent of drafting Tucker craft this year.
[SPEAKER_00]: Green Bay is a medical staff that is notoriously known for like taking their time on injuries.
[SPEAKER_00]: And they won't give the green flag until they feel 100% confident on Tucker craft.
[SPEAKER_00]: So if Tucker craft is good to go for the start of the season, that makes us feel really good about where he is medically.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I think Tucker craft is probably
[SPEAKER_00]: or the most reliable piece for Jordan Love.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like we saw him obviously, he was in full breakout mode before he got hurt last year.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think we're probably just gonna see that pick back up where it was.
[SPEAKER_00]: So craft is a dude where I don't typically draft guys who are injured, but I'm pretty in on craft this year.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I would be ecstatic to have them as a guy that you can get as tight in six, seven or eight in your drafts like in the middle later rounds of your draft because people are scared of the injury.
[SPEAKER_00]: I am not one of them.
[SPEAKER_00]: We got Dallas got her.
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, to me, obviously scoring 11 touchdowns last year, definitely not going to happen.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's not a huge touchdown guy, but they got him very involved in the red zone last year.
[SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, again, the splits when AJ Brown is not there.
[SPEAKER_00]: Dallas got her is another dude that benefits from that.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think came to bot this myth.
[SPEAKER_00]: Are going to see a huge target share in this offense because there's no more AJ Brown.
[SPEAKER_00]: So,
[SPEAKER_00]: I like Dallas got her.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he'll be probably a little bit more volatile on a week week basis because his weekly floor seems to be a lot lower than some of these other guys, but I think Dallas got her is fine.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then last so we have Kyle Piss, who's fucking cone on the football field, but I think I do have to acknowledge that the Falcons have quite literally nothing behind Drake London running routes downfield.
[SPEAKER_00]: So, you know, people are like, I'll do a lot of stuff like that's like you're just saying things to it.
[SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't look like when the fuck did two ever throw the tight ends.
[SPEAKER_00]: What are you talking about?
[SPEAKER_00]: Regardless, whatever, Kyle Pitz will see six targets again.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the final tier of this video will be the strong streamers in the Titan category, and we've got like eight dudes here.
[SPEAKER_00]: We've got Travis Kelsey is my Titan 10, Kincaid as a likely George Kittle, Brent and Strange, Jake Ferguson, Joanne John Stain, Shiggy, and Hunter Henry.
[SPEAKER_00]: Kelsey, I mean, he's fucking old.
[SPEAKER_00]: They did extend them.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was like quietly kind of really good for fantasy last year.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then score a ton of touchdowns.
[SPEAKER_00]: It's not really a big touchdown score at this point.
[SPEAKER_00]: But I also think he had a decent amount of things kind of like break in his favor where Rossi Rice missed a ton of games with a suspension obviously Xavier worthy missed a bunch of times.
[SPEAKER_00]: Again, it was kind of like targets were getting funneled to Travis Kelsey once again.
[SPEAKER_00]: They didn't have a run game to rely on last year, so I don't think we're going to see a lot of that.
[SPEAKER_00]: But Kelsey tied to my homes as always a liability to go for like eight touchdowns in a given season, and that's going to end up being what the difference is here.
[SPEAKER_00]: So he's getting to that like Mark Andrew stage where it's like, I think at this point he's probably going to need touchdowns to sustain any sort of like fantasy reliability.
[SPEAKER_00]: Next up, we got Don Kinkade, who is kind of on the verge of a breakout last year.
[SPEAKER_00]: Showed some really high ceiling games, but again, he's a dude that really doesn't run a ton of routes.
[SPEAKER_00]: Unfortunately, he's still only on the field for like 60, 55% of the snaps sold all senoxes still there.
[SPEAKER_00]: So on a given week, like he, I think he's a great tight end to and best ball.
[SPEAKER_00]: kind of hard to trust him in a redraft though.
[SPEAKER_00]: I will take some shots on him just because I think his upside he's still young.
[SPEAKER_00]: He was still a first round pick for them.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's still tied to Josh Allen.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I still like in Kade, but obviously a little bit risky or here.
[SPEAKER_00]: We've guys, they likely going into New York.
[SPEAKER_00]: Finally kind of gets out of the wings of Mark Andrews, follows Harball over there, so you know that he's going to be used obviously gets the contract.
[SPEAKER_00]: And the fact that, again, we look at the receiving group in New York, league neighbors, put candidate Wandell, not there anymore.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like targets are very, very up for grabs.
[SPEAKER_00]: You can see Isaiah likely being a dude who's seeing a very high target floor off the rip here.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I like like we've just never
[SPEAKER_00]: seen him be the guy for, you know, a full season or even really for more than like a few weeks at a time.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I do think there's a little bit of risk involved just based on that.
[SPEAKER_00]: George Kill, my Titan 13, another dude who like the injury reports are relatively optimistic, but a torn Achilles at his age, like 32, 33, is much scarier than a torn ACL, like Tucker Craft, that age 25.
[SPEAKER_00]: So people that have watched the videos of George Kill,
[SPEAKER_00]: are not overly optimistic about the way he looks in those videos.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm kind of going to follow their lead there on Kittle and him just being old again scares me a little bit.
[SPEAKER_00]: I again, I think there's a world where like he does end up scoring eight touchdowns and looks fine, but I said with Kelsey, I think he's kind of in that Mark Andrews mold as well where I don't think we're going to get the same explosive player that we were used to with George Kittle and he's going to need to back into a pretty high touchdown rate in order to be the dude for you in fantasy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Brent Strange, a Titan 14.
[SPEAKER_00]: The next group of dudes I think are just like maybe outside of Chiggy are just like high floor players attached to offenses that I want to be in.
[SPEAKER_00]: So you have Brent Strange, Jake Ferguson, Joanne Johnson, Hunter Henry.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think more often than not, those guys will go look for for 40 almost every single week.
[SPEAKER_00]: And then you attach yourself to bread and strange with Liam Cohen and Trevor Lawrence and that high upside offense, the biggest concern with him is that there's so many good weapons in that offense right now, Parker Washington, Jacobi, who are running routes over the middle of field, Brian Thomas Jr., like tough to see him being a reliable player, high upside, week to week, same thing with Jake Ferguson, obviously with CD and George Pickins, they're going to throw the ball ton, but as we saw last year, like Ferguson was eating when CD was gone, as soon as both of the
[SPEAKER_00]: the receivers are on the field and healthy together first and kind of fell off the face of the earth.
[SPEAKER_00]: Joanne Johnson was actually quietly awesome, awesome last year in PPR, but I do think that was probably more of a function of like, we don't have any weapons besides Chris Alabe right now.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we kind of have to force feed you the ball of time because we're throwing the ball of time.
[SPEAKER_00]: We don't have any other guys there.
[SPEAKER_00]: So Jordan Tyson, I think, is going to eat significantly into Joanne Johnson's target share there.
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, I think 4 for 40's realistic.
[SPEAKER_00]: Hunter Henry.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's one of the more underrated tight ends in fantasy, like him and Drake may have had a great chemistry, and if you look at his stats historically like his career stats down here, the last two years have been some of the better years of his career, like some of the highest target counts, some of the highest reception counts, some of the highest yardage counts overall, two of his three best PPR fantasy seasons of his career.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think Hunter Henry's a better player and a better fantasy player than giving credit for like I think you could genuinely put him into the tier of the Jake Ferguson and the Brenton Strangers of the world.
[SPEAKER_00]: Does he have the upside of, you know, and I say a likely or don't concave the athletic young explosive dudes for sure not.
[SPEAKER_00]: But Hunter Henry attached to an up and coming offense attached to the third year quarterback who was just a run up for MVP and is clearly one of his consistently favorite weapons, especially in the red zone.
[SPEAKER_00]: I like Henry.
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, you know, bring an AJ Brown might shift the equator a little bit there, but whatever.
[SPEAKER_00]: Then you got Chiggy.
[SPEAKER_00]: Chiggy's the last guy and I kind of put him out of that tier because he's different.
[SPEAKER_00]: He's another, like Isaiah likely type of dude who actually I remember when Chiggy was coming out and college, I comped him to Isaiah likely.
[SPEAKER_00]: So similar player, good with the ball on his hands, didn't really see much of that upside in Tennessee.
[SPEAKER_00]: Unfortunately, we would see it in spurts, random plays here and there and you're like, oh, that's, you know, that's the Chiggy we know and love even though we don't know him at all.
[SPEAKER_00]: But we'd love to love him, right?
[SPEAKER_00]: And now he goes over to Washington, signs a nice contract and they are devoid of past catchers and watching.
[SPEAKER_00]: And Terry McClellan's obviously the watershiver one there, and Sony Williams could be cool.
[SPEAKER_00]: But behind Jiggy, I mean, like he could be the dude who has the second most targets on this team.
[SPEAKER_00]: Zach Urch is no longer there.
[SPEAKER_00]: So I think you invest in this dude.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he's athletic.
[SPEAKER_00]: I think this will be the first time he really gets a crack at.
[SPEAKER_00]: playing on 70 plus percent of the routes and you are not sharing like a crowded target room with anybody.
[SPEAKER_00]: So we'll have to see a Washington as a second pass catcher.
[SPEAKER_00]: Like I definitely think they're in play for like a digs or a keen and out or something like that.
[SPEAKER_00]: And that would obviously affect the target share of everybody in that offense.
[SPEAKER_00]: But for right now on paper, Jiggy does line up to be what it looks as, you know, probably the second leading target in this offense.
[SPEAKER_00]: I just moved up Mark Andrews, you know, just make it a clean, that's not even the 20.
[SPEAKER_00]: I was about to say, let's make it a clean tie 20 tight ends, let's make it a clean 19 tight ends here.
[SPEAKER_00]: Author Andrews at the end, like I do think if likely it's now out of the way Andrews probably sees just more targets at the tight end position overall Charlie Collar.
[SPEAKER_00]: over in New York as well.
[SPEAKER_00]: So it opens it up.
[SPEAKER_00]: It opens it up a little bit for buying on the Marjacks and bounce back.
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think Mark Andrews, again, has that like eight touchdown.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't believe he's a strong streamer.
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't, I think I'm just lying as we're talking, but whatever, he's my Titan 19, whatever tier you end up finding him in.
[SPEAKER_00]: As always, I will keep these tiers up to date throughout the entirety of the summer, which you can find on our website, bdge.co.
