Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

11-Time FFPC League Champ Adam Rilott
Q: What are you doing for a living when you're not winning FFPC titles?
Adam runs operations for a sunscreen brand (Kula) founded by FFPC player Chris Bertrie, and spends time with his kids; drafting remains his primary passion and ongoing competition.
Extra Reps: Josh Allen, DK Metcalf & Gary Broad
Q: With DK Metcalf and Pittman, how do you decide when to pull the trigger on one versus the other?
Gary argues that Metcalf's upside and Pittman's reception-heavy role both have merit, suggesting a balance where you don't overpay for both but consider where they fit in your roster and overall offense exposure.
Extra Reps: Josh Allen, DK Metcalf & Gary Broad
Q: What draft spot did you get for Josh Allen, and how did that influence your strategy?
Gary explains he drafted Allen in the 4th round and viewed it as a bold move that leveraged the elite quarterback's upside, with the idea that getting him could compensate for other picks later and provide a strong weekly floor.
Extra Reps: Malik Nabers, Mark Andrews & Lee Snyder
Q: Which rookie back or secondary back could surprise in 2026 based on current ADP trends?
Mike Washington has shown draft-day upside with first-team reps in some reports, making him an intriguing late-round flyer especially in handcuff scenarios.
Extra Reps: Malik Nabers, Mark Andrews & Lee Snyder
Q: What are your thoughts on the Denver Broncos' backfield with Payton and their role distribution for FFPC formats?
The backfield is risky but potentially rewarding; expect mixed weeks and plan for upside if one back emerges as the primary playmaker.
