Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Extra Reps: Isaiah Likely, Jayden Daniels & Steve Georgalos
Q: How do you approach Jayden Daniels in FFPC drafts at the current price?
The panel discusses waiting strategies, stacking with Terry McLaurin, and the possibility of a dual-QB build in tournaments, with Daniels viewed as a viable late-round QB with upside depending on surrounding cast.
Extra Reps: Isaiah Likely, Jayden Daniels & Steve Georgalos
Q: What about Isaiah Likely and Theo Johnson—how are you valuing tight ends in this draft season?
Steve expresses a strong preference for Likely as a top target among late-round tight ends, while acknowledging Theo Johnson's potential but favoring Likely due to Harbaugh's usage patterns and the surrounding receiving weapons.
Extra Reps: Isaiah Likely, Jayden Daniels & Steve Georgalos
Q: Steve, what do you make of the Cleveland backfield and the rookies Judkins and Sampson in FFPC drafts?
Steve notes that Judkins likely won't be ready for week one, urges drafting Sampson with him for upside, and stresses that both players require careful exposure depending on league format and early-round conditions.
Three-Time 2025 FFPC Dynasty Champ Tom Weaver
Q: What is your number two rookie running back this season?
Tom suggests that draft capital and landing spot will heavily influence who takes the number two role, and notes that multiple backs could be in the mix depending on draft outcomes.
33-Time FFPC League Champion Stewart Kuehne
Q: How big of a step forward is Michael Wilson likely to take in 2026 after his breakout year?
Wilson showed late-season breakout potential, but the panel expects the Cardinals to be more inconsistent due to quarterback changes and offense adjustments, making him a riskier late-round pick despite the upside.
