Welcome in. Thanks, boys. Back again, the fantasy footballers.

What is the latest news on Rashee Rice and his impact on fantasy football?

Andy Holloway 0:49
It's every morning now. it has it's been you really did like mike is on the outside looking in he can give the best commentary on what's happened i mean in the golf obsession you did say it was your total and complete identity it's just who i am i mean normal people on the outside would call it a psychotic transformation
Jason Moore 1:13
From never, like occasionally we'll mention golf, and we'll talk about it for a little bit, to playing every day.
Mike Wright 1:26
It is literally every single day.
Jason Moore 1:28
And if you don't play, then all of a sudden we get a message, stopped at the range on my way home. And you're like, okay. He's like, it's 8 p.m. I'm at the simulator place, guys.
Mike Wright 1:37
You're like, where is your family?

What sneaky trades can I make in my fantasy league?

Mike Wright 1:39
I'm taking my son to lessons on Saturday. What are you talking about? I'm bringing him along. My daughter went golfing this morning.
Jason Moore 1:47
That's the way you do it.

How should I evaluate Kyren Williams' fantasy outlook?

Mike Wright 1:48
This is insanity.
Jason Moore 1:48
That's what we did with fantasy football. I was like, I gotta find a way to make money on this.
Andy Holloway 1:54
It's just too good. Jason went golfing on Mother's Day.

Who should I choose in dynasty leagues: Bucky Irving or Kyren Williams?

Andy Holloway 1:58
With his wife. Yeah. I don't know how I got that one to work, but I did.
Mike Wright 2:02
Psychotic might be the right word. Listen, the best advice we can give the Foot Clan is if you have something you like, find a way to make it something you have to do, your living, something your family is required to participate in.

What are the best strategies for three wide receiver leagues?

Mike Wright 2:19
I don't think you're quite ready to make a living on golf. I'm close, man. You know what, you're making the living of others. Yeah, I am supporting the teachers, the manufacturers. I am supporting the entire industry, especially the putting industry.
Andy Holloway 2:34
And when you get into golf, all of a sudden your reels and the ads you get served. Oh my gosh.
Mike Wright 2:40
It's a big market. My algorithm knows who I am.
Andy Holloway 2:43
Yeah, your identity.

Which budget tight ends should I target for the 2026 season?

Andy Holloway 2:44
To my core. We have a great show for you today. We are jumping into a good quick question. We're looking at stat surprises from our individual projections for the 2026 fantasy season. We've all gone through and made our first draft heading into the soon to be released UDK here in less than two weeks. And so we're going to mention a few of the names that popped out in terms of, hey, I didn't realize, you know, we go out and we project every player individually, their line for the season, the games played, every bit of their projection. And then we go look at the rankings and sometimes we're really surprised.
Mike Wright 3:20
In both good ways and bad ways. Like sometimes it's like, oh, wow, I didn't realize I was so bullish here. I know there's one I'm going to bring up here in a second. Sometimes you go, uh-oh. I go, yeah, I don't like this.
Andy Holloway 3:33
This is not good. So, yeah, we have some of those names we're going to bring up. Real quick, we're going to give away the signed James Cook jersey. A winner has been selected. His name is Brad Davis. Brad Davis. Oh, Bradley Davis. Congratulations. I think the team has already emailed you or will momentarily. And you've won a signed James Cook jersey. James Cook. Congratulations. The NFL's rushing leader. No, you can't be lazy. The rushing leader. I forgot about that draft. Yeah. That was a little frightening. Oh, man. But, yeah, the UDK is just a couple weeks away. Less than that. You can check it out. UltimateDraftKit.com. Pre-order pricing will end when it's no longer a pre-order. You know? Well, then it's just order price.
Andy Holloway 4:16
It's just ordering. So quick question of the day, though. Let's start with Jason. Stat surprises in the UDK. You went through, you looked at all the names and numbers.
Mike Wright 4:25
So three names that stood out to me, basically different than I think what consensus is, for better or worse, Mike Evans, Derrick Henry, and Luther Burden III. Mike Evans was high. He was my... Luther Byrne, the 30th wide receiver, Jason.
