Aug 10, 2026 · 1 hr 25 min
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 (3…

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).

Aug 4, 2026 · 1 hr 56 min
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…

WR Rankings, Sleepers, and Tiers. Plus, the Hot QB Rankings, Nos. 9-12.
Jul 20, 2026 · 2 hr 3 min
The Tier 1 (09:31) wide receivers are obvious if you can trust Steve-O, and the first-rounders in Tier 2 (14:29) should be high-floor producers. Where it gets wild is in Tier 3 (18:26), with the sexy, unreliable alphas. Buyer beware. Then Tier 4 (28:25) is a slop of 16 (maybe 18) guys. Craig thinks Luther Burden III is him. Heifetz wants nothing to do with Burden or Zay Flowers or Chris Olave. Tiers 5 and 6 (59:48) become guys just naming guys (complimentary). Ricky Pearsall. Jayden Reed. Parker…

Brock Bowers and Trey McBride (09:56) are best in class regardless of situations. But where do you stand on sophomores Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren (18:41)? Should Tucker Kraft (27:41) be in the second tier? Keep listening to find out where DK would take Kyle Pitts (33:27) in the privacy of his own home, all of the tight ends that play more than Dalton Kincaid (46:22), and the first four quarterbacks on The Seven’s list of the (sexy? sweet?)16 Hottest NFL QB Rankings (01:02:24).

Jul 8, 2026 · 1 hr 39 min
DK has an old sailor tattoo rotting on his arm that reads “Volume Is King” (03:12) under a rusted anchor. So many quarterbacks can run now that Craig is starting to doubt a five-year tattoo (11:25).

Jul 1, 2026 · 1 hr 52 min
Heifetz opens the pod up with some aggressive Taylor Swift takes (01:26), because of course. After DH empties the bag, the guys give updates on Brandon Aiyuk (09:13) and Terrion Arnold (13:29). Then, the World Cup gets the lads talking footy (31:39) before Craig can’t talk himself into LeBron James joining forces with the Warriors for Expendables 5 (51:34).
