Main Theme

Host Adam Aizer and analyst Jamey Eisenberg go rapid fire on bold fantasy football predictions for the 2026 NFL offseason, focusing on potential player moves and their fantasy implications.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Bold Quarterback Moves

• Mac Jones to the Vikings

  • Jamey Eisenberg predicts the Vikings, unable to afford Daniel Jones, will trade for Mac Jones.
  • Fantasy Impact:
    • "Mac Jones goes there and has the Sam Darnold season… he's a relevant fantasy quarterback. And more importantly, Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, TJ Hockenson, they all get back to being trustworthy fantasy options." (Jamey, 02:12)
    • Suggests Justin Jefferson’s value will stabilize; Addison and Hockenson become startable again.
    • Mac Jones has previously shown he can elevate a fantasy WR, referencing Brian Thomas.

• Tua Tagovailoa to the Jets

  • Adam and Jamey discuss Tua moving to the division rival Jets, given rumors of Jets' interest.
  • Fantasy Impact:
    • "For the first two seasons that Tyreek Hill was in Miami, he had over 1,700 receiving yards… I think the answer would be yes for [Garrett] Wilson." (Jamey, 03:17)
    • Tua would boost Wilson but may not help Adonai Mitchell as much due to limited deep-ball ability.
    • "He's 8-0 in his career against the Jets. He has owned them." (Adam, 03:57)
    • "Tua also struggled in cold weather though." (Jamey, 04:01)

---

2. Running Back Shakeups

• Travis Etienne to the Chiefs

  • Jamie speculates Etienne is unlikely to return to Jacksonville and imagines him in Andy Reid’s system.
  • Fantasy Impact:
    • "In an Andy Reid offense I think [Etienne] could be awesome… maybe Brian Westbrook type…" (Jamey, 04:09)
    • Etienne would be a third-round pick in fantasy due to receiving upside.
    • Would prevent Chiefs from using a high draft pick on RB (e.g., J. Love).

• Jacksonville Jaguars’ RB Response

  • Predicts a running back by committee, possibly featuring Sean Tucker, Basil Tutin, or J.K. Dobbins.
  • "Wouldn't shock me if they go cheap at the position and have a running back by committee." (Jamey, 05:05)
  • J.K. Dobbins could be a fit if he leaves Denver, especially given rumors of Broncos targeting Kenneth Walker.

---

3. Broncos’ Backfield Rumors

• Kenneth Walker to the Broncos
  • Adam floats this scenario as a bold Broncos move, possibly indicating dissatisfaction with RJ Harvey.
    • "It's an indictment on RJ Harvey personally…" (Adam, 05:51)
    • "They're making it very clear that they do not view Harvey as a leader." (Jamey, 06:00)
  • Concerns for Walker: Potential reception volume may decrease under Peyton, but strong OL remains a plus.

---

4. Wide Receiver Free Agency & Predictions

• Wandale Robinson to the Patriots

  • Jamie sees Wandale flourishing under Josh McDaniels, leveraging the successful slot WR history (e.g., Jacoby Meyers).
  • "Wandale Robinson would be a very sneaky fantasy option… can be a weekly starter for your fantasy team." (Jamey, 08:08)

• Stefon Diggs to the Falcons?

  • Adam proposes: If Diggs lands in Atlanta, with Wandale in NE, who gets the fantasy nod?
    • Jamey quickly chooses: "Wandale." (08:57)

---

5. Tight End Speculation

• Isaiah Likely to the Giants

  • Jamie envisions Likely joining John Harbaugh in New York, overtaking Theo Johnson as a primary pass-catcher after WR1.
  • "Likely could end up being second on the team in targets behind league neighbors. Like that would be a great situation." (Jamey, 09:32)
  • Optimal landing would have Likely as a clear second target; Jamie warns against muddled depth chart situations.

• Other Possible Destinations

  • "How about the Commanders?" (Adam, 10:03)
  • Jamie prefers Ben Sinnott get a shot, mentions Miami as a possible good spot "with the right quarterback." (Jamey, 10:08)
  • Warns against Likely landing on teams with entrenched TE (like Cleveland or Atlanta with Pitts).

Free agency. Bold predictions right now on Fantasy Football Today Express. All right, Jamie Eisenberg is here and he's got some bold predictions for you. Lay it down. Give me a bold prediction.

[C]

Let's see, we'll go quarterback. I'm gonna say, like, do you want obvious or do you want like, crazy? Well, like Kyler Murray to the Vikings. Is that bold?

[A]

It's fine.

[C]

That's not really bold, right?

[A]

No, not really.

[C]

So let's go. Let's go quarterbacks. Let's go. Mac Jones to the Vikings. Okay.

[A]

You know it would be even bolder. Daniel Jones to the Vikings.

[C]

Yes, but the, the Vikings have no money, so they're not gonna be able to afford Daniel Jones. So they make a trade to get Mac Jones and Mac Jones goes there and has the Sam Darnold season, so he's a relevant fantasy quarterback. And more importantly, Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, TJ Hawkinson, they all get back to being trustworthy fantasy options. You're still clearly drafting Jefferson to be a mustard guy. But Addison and Hawkinson are not I think in the starting range going into the season. But I think Mac Jones showed with Brian Thomas that he can elevate a fantasy receiver to the heights that we would love to see. Justin Jefferson and Kevin o' Connell can get the production out of Mac Jones to make Justin Jefferson back to that guy again. You know, at least at the Carson Wentz level, which was just over 16 PPR points per game. He was a disaster with JJ McCarthy last year, as we know, just averaging over 10 PPR points per game. We need a better quarterback in Minnesota, so hopefully Mac Jones will be that guy.

[A]

Yeah. What do you think of the TUA to the Jets? Not the the rumors that the jets are interested doing their homework on tua.

[C]

I mean it makes sense. You know you're looking at a a guy who's going to probably be very inexpensive because adults have to eat a big portion of that contract move on from him. And so does he have the ability to elevate the the team there. Nobody's going to draft two as a fantasy quarterback. So can he make Garrett Wilson into that type of player? Well, for the first two seasons that Tyree Kill was in Miami he had over 1700 receiving yards. Only receiver ever do that back to back years. So I think the answer would be yes for Wilson. Adnai Mitchell probably doesn't benefit as much because Tua doesn't have the ability to consistently help his receivers make plays down the field. At least that's what we saw really the last year and a half. So Mason Taylor I think would be fine. I think Garrett Wilson will be fine. TUA to the jets is certainly a good landing spot for him.

[A]

He's 8 no in his career against the Jets. He has owned them.

[C]

72 also struggled in cold weather though, so not.

[A]

Yeah, it's true. Okay, give me another bold prediction.

[C]

Let's go running back. Let's go. I don't know again how bold this is but Travis ETN to the Chiefs. So let's, let's look at that move and he's somebody that in an Andy Reid offense I think could be awesome. You know just I don't know Brian Westbrook type but maybe Damian Williams type. You know when he was the really the first guy with Patrick Mahomes to be an excellent fantasy option. And I think this would keep Travis Etienne in a range where you'd be looking at him probably as early as round three. You know we know he catch ball the backfield that'd be great, especially if my home's going to be limited with his rushing. So ETN is almost certainly not coming back to Jacksonville, and I think that would be one of the best destinations for any running back. And then keeps them from having to draft Jeremiah Love, which is a rumor that we're hearing quite a bit for the first round of, for the top 10 in the NFL draft.

[A]

What do the Jaguars do in response?

[C]

So wouldn't shock me if they go cheap at the position and have a running back by committee. We know now that Sean Tucker is going to be free. That's a guy that Liam Cohen's had some success with in history with in Tampa. So that could be part of the running back mix with Basil Tutin. You could see a guy like maybe J.K. dobbins, for example, you know, who's bounced around now for the last three years at least last two years, Chargers and Broncos, back to back. So he said he wants to be a Bronco for life, but maybe the opportunity to go to a team like Jacksonville, where there's a clear cut starting job available, as opposed to Denver, where maybe RJ Harvey has earned a bigger role. Especially if the Broncos, which is a rumor that they're considering Kenneth Walker.

[A]

Yeah, that's gonna be my bold prediction.

[C]

Yeah, it makes sense.

[A]

Well, it doesn't. I mean, I don't know how much sense it makes. I think it's. I think it's an indictment on. On RJ Harvey personally, and they're making

[C]

it very clear that they do not view Harvey as a leader.

[A]

Yeah, it's disappointing. And they had so much success with J.K. dobbins. I'm a little surprised that they. They seem to want to explore other options, at least according to one report.

[C]

But would you want a guy that can't stay healthy versus a guy that was just a Super bowl mvp if,

[A]

for the price that obviously I'd rather have Ken Walker, but if I'm.

[C]

Well, if you could afford it.

[A]

Let's see. The Broncos, they are in decent salary cap space, but that's not where I'd be allocating my resources if I agree.

[C]

But, you know, look, Sean Payton's success has come with a strong run game.

[A]

I also don't know how good it'd be for Walker because I don't know how many passes he'd catch. I think he'd be really good.

[C]

That would not be the most ideal landing spot for him. That being said, J.K. dobbins was good, and I think Walker, at this point, square is better offensive line. You know, we've talked about this quite a bit over the last couple years. Like they've built out their offensive line to a point where it's one of the best in the NFL. Yeah. And now you have Sean Payton who throws to his running backs on first and second down. So third down work, yes, probably disappears, but I think Ken Walker could do worse than going to the Broncos.

[A]

All right, we're going to take a break and get maybe one or two more bold predictions from Jamie after this.

[A]

Okay, let's get back to it. More free agency bull predictions.

[C]

What do you got? Yeah, my dog doesn't like these. Let's go. We know Alec Pierce is going to be the most popular wide receiver free agent. Let's go with you. You teased this a little bit. I was thinking about this when you asked about receivers going to the Patriots. Let's go. Wandell Robinson to the Patriots and shot. Josh McDaniel's history with slot receivers is obviously very successful and I think Wando could still be very good if not great if they don't necessarily address the positions. Let's say they whiff on everything and it's Wandale, it's Keisha Booty, it's Kyle Williams and another day two or day three wide receiver. So somebody that may be good but doesn't necessarily step in right away and command targets. I think that could be great for Wando. So I think Wandell Robinson would be a very sneaky fantasy option once again. Never going to get him as late as you got him this year, but a good guy that a good number three wide receiver that can, you know, sort of be like that Jacoby Myers guy, you know, can be a weekly starter for your fantasy team. Yeah.

[A]

Their slot receiver last year was Stefan Diggs and he had a thousand yards. Very good season. Let's say Wandale goes to the Patriots and Stefan Diggs bold prediction goes to the Falcons. Who would you take first?

[C]

Wando.

[A]

Okay, you got another bowl prediction. One more.

[C]

Let's go tight end. And I think we're all kind of waiting to see what happens to Isaiah Likely, I don't think he's going to the Falcons now which was one of our preferred destinations. So I'm gonna tie him to John Harbaugh and he goes to the Giants and I know they like Theo Johnson and what he was able to do at times last year, but I think Likely is a much better receiving threat. So let's say they whiff on what they are looking to do, you know, so they don't get another big name free agent and they don't get Carnal Tate and they also go day two wide receiver, you know, just to sort of, you know, backfill there. Likely could end up being second on the team and targets behind league neighbors. Like that would be a great situation. I think any, any opportunity where likely could be second on the team and targets. It's going to be a lot of fun. So hopefully he ends up with the right team and you know, can make, make, have an opportunity to make a lot of plays.

[A]

Is there a better destination for likely, you think?

[C]

I'm sure there is.

[A]

I, yeah, I, I, I really like him. I, you know, how about the commanders?

[C]

I like Ben Senate so I'd like to see Senate get an opportunity. Miami.

[A]

Yeah.

[C]

With the right quarterback. I just hope it's not one of those situations where he gets paid to go to the Browns, you know, or gets paid to go to. Right. You know, Atlanta thinking that they're going to use pits for one year and this is their two pass catches. You know, one of those crappy situations where there's already a guy there, right?

[A]

Yeah. Right. Exactly. The same situation he's been in with with the Ravens wouldn't be great, but. All right, that's, that's it for our poll predictions. We'll find out pretty soon if they're

[C]

going to come true.

[A]

True or Jamie, I'm Adam. This is FFT Express. Got to stay tuned. We're going to have a lot for you during free agency week.

See you later.
