Five Breakout Offenses No One's Talking About (and Who to Draft From Them)

Injuries are spreading across the league like the plague. Craig’s best friend, Luther Burden III (01:35), is going to miss the rest of the offseason. The Lions' offensive line is managing an injury at center already (13:59), and Washington left tackle Laremy Tunsil (20:19) might be out for the year with a torn triceps. Running backs J.K. Dobbins and Christian McCaffrey (25:54) are missing practice now, too.

Some quarterback questions: Who would you pick in a fight: Kirk Cousins or Maxx Crosby (32:34)? Is Carson Beck the future of the league (34:13)?

The guys round out the show with Australia travel plans for Rams-49ers (52:56), the new worst jerseys of all time (01:00:41), another Will Levis blunder (01:03:36), and some emails (01:04:23).

(00:00) Intro

(01:35) WR Luther Burden III, Bears

(13:59) C Cade Mays, Lions

(20:19) OT Laremy Tunsil, Commanders

(25:54) RB J.K. Dobbins, Broncos, and RB Christian McCaffrey, 49ers

The Hottest NFL QBs, Ranked

Stefon Diggs is a Commander (02:32)! Are you buying or selling? What does Diggs mean for Jayden Daniels? The guys also provide important updates on the large, looming electrical substation within arm’s reach of the 49ers’ practice field (10:25) before getting to their XX rules to win your 2026 fantasy football league (19:41).

Rules to Win Your Draft. Plus, Bill Simmons Pitches Fantasy Football 'Grenades'

We kick off the show by discussing the contract extensions that Bijan Robinson (03:02) and Zay Flowers (03:57) received. What does this mean for Jahmyr Gibbs’ hold-in? Does this big-money deal change how we view Flowers’ role in Baltimore’s offense? After a recap of the latest NFL news, the guys present the players that are the hardest to rank in fantasy this season (15:10).

Justin Jefferson (15:24)CeeDee Lamb (21:13)ChatGPT Jerry Jones Sun Chart (27:42)Ladd McConkey (33:24)DeVonta Smith (40:47)Alec Pierce (47:04)Quinshon Judkins (54:56)Parker Washington (01:01:39)

7 Players Ruining Our Rankings, Zay Flowers Gigantic Contract, and The Great Almond Debate

Training camp is underway, and the guys are digging through the biggest stories out of the first week of practices. Are the 49ers cursed (02:58)? How much impact is the substation (which looms over every 49ers practice) having on these injuries? After they break down Ricky Pearsall’s season-ending surgery, Heifetz expresses his concerns about the 2024 wide receiver class (16:14). Then, it looks like Aaron Donald is trending toward returning to the Rams to play alongside Myles Garrett this season (30:59). Is Los Angeles ruining sports? Michael Penix Jr. could be out for another month (39:22). What would a Tua-led Falcons team look like for fantasy? Then, at long last, the guys are joined by ESPN’s Mina Kimes to reveal the top four in the Hottest NFL QB Rankings (01:01:30). After they reveal the winner of the rankings and thank Lorne, Heifetz reveals a new theme month after the triumph of Millennial Bangers.

Major Training Camp Injuries to Monitor and the Top Four Hottest NFL QBs With Mina Kimes

Some defensive tackle news to hit before the adventure begins: Jalen Carter got PAID (02:14), and Vita Vea wants out of Tampa Bay (09:53). Oh, and DK has takes on Madison Beer’s stance in her engagement announcement Instagram carousel with Justin Herbert (14:51).

Then, the lads venture out on their ship yearning for sweet, beautiful sirens they can’t resist in fantasy football this season (22:22) and the ones they’re avoiding with wax in their ears all training camp (38:00). They also each pick their “Go Home to Your Wife” guy in honor of Odysseus (01:05:20).

When they eventually get off the boat, the boys first run through an emailer's breakfast ham (01:17:59). Then, they get in the middle of a Heifetz-Jackie argument about pens (01:21:29) before the second-ever meeting for Ringer Movie Club, where Craig and Heifetz can bully DK over 'Kingpin' (01:27:44). Finally, they close the ‘sode with takes on ‘The Odyssey’ (01:48:16). Heifetz has strong, contrarian opinions, as one would expect.
