Fantasy Football “My Guys” for the 2026 season!

I put together a similar list with (relative) success last season, so here are players I think will return value relative to ADP.

Check out my picks for each position group below in the thread.

Happy first day of football!

This is a goon ass number. You don't wear 95 unless you plan on causing absolute hell

Decided to give this "eye test" thing a try - let me know how I did!

[Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein]

Watched the World Cup game socially.

Heard “Country Roads”.

Immediately went to YouTube to watch the 2010 Big East Tournament title game ending between West Virginia & Georgetown.

Da’Sean Butler was incredible that week.

17 weeks from Sunday we will have college basketball.

I had to revisit this because this is so bad and corny. Josh Hart is by no means a Hooper. Specifically what we consider to be a Hooper in the NBA context. No bag. Not a shot creator. Not a Hooper. He's not a crazy knockdown shooter either.

So one would ask "why is he still in the league?" And it's because the white nerdy unathletic guys have figured that the team is better when he is on the court. He provides so much more than the traditional box score would lead to believe. This is why we should not only continue to have him on the court, but maybe shift our lineup philosophy around to feature a guy who is 6 foot five at the power forward. Analytics love, Josh Hart. And in the era that he and some of the other others are champion, they would throw him away.

I hate people who are anti-math and science, but then use math and science in their everyday lives without acknowledging math and science. Maybe I need to listen to the full episode, which I will, to get the full context, but this was a great opportunity for them to have a full and nuance conversation that seemingly is wasted because agendas need to be pushed

in the new york basketball tradition it's actually a common practice to acquire julius randle when your franchise is at its lowest. it's considered a superstitious gesture meant to bring about a bountiful future

the 2026 NBA Finals outro. Mike Breen nailed it again 🔥

[Sam @Bl0cknesMonster]

this shit was beyond gangsta bruh

[Tommy Beer @TommyBeer]

First, the loyal fans who supported the Knicks for decades when the team sucked (emptying thier wallets for tickets, shirts, jerseys) get priced out of the building when New York finally reaches the Finals (by insanely wealthy patrons willing/capable of casually blowing $20k on a pair of tickets to a basketball game, many of them having just hopped on the bandwagon or purchased tix to Game 3 solely b/c MSG is “the place to be” this week).

Then those same loyal, working-class fans get a second middle finger from ownership. Due to Dolan's desire to host Trump, thousands of diehard Knicks fans are denied the chance to gather outside the Garden, watch the game on a big screen, and share a once-in-a-lifetime moment with the community that helped keep this franchise alive when nobody else cared.

Access is reserved for the powerful, rich and/or connected, not the fans who stuck with this team through 20+ years of misery.

@james_cummings7 This is really cool but I swear I’ve seen it before.

[Ethan Diamond @ethanndiamond]

@james_cummings7 @DataProgress Wow! Great work.
