Thursday, May 7th. The Fantasy Footballers back again. Mike Wright, Jason Moore, Andy Holloway.
What are the latest NFL news updates impacting fantasy football?
Overreactions episode for 2026. Some news to talk about. Some golf talk if we want to.
Yeah, some golf talk.
You had a really poignant tweet today.
Yes, I did.
About golf.
And it was very true.
I thought it was. Why don't you read it just for those out there that share the hobby, our new hobby of golf.
Which players are likely to be overvalued after the NFL Draft?
I mean, it's something that I am working on. I am not good, but I have found in life when you work on things, you can get better. And so I tweeted out that my experience with golf. Is that the more work you put into getting better, the higher you can score. So it's great news, guys.
And you've been accomplishing. And I have been accomplishing.

Those of you that play best ball out there on the various platforms, you can find our best ball rankings in the UDK Plus right now.
What factors should be considered regarding running back health for 2026?
If you don't have the UDK, ultimatedraftkit.com for that. Quick question of the day comes from Zach on Instagram. How can I convince my league to switch to FAB? FAB is a way to handle waivers, stands for Free Agent Acquisition Budget, and it means that each week teams blind bid on free agent's
How do mobile quarterbacks affect fantasy football strategies?
And when the free agents process, you'll find out who gets them based on who bid the most fab. A lot of leagues have like 100 fab budget, maybe 200 over the course of the year. Some leagues have off-season fab budgets. But this is in opposition to kind of a default standard of like waiver priority.
One of the things that's silly to me now is that I think most defaults are now a fab system. So it's like old leagues that you've been in for a while that have been running it as the old standard, which was just waiver priority. If you start like a new league on sleeper, I have to imagine that that just defaults to fat because that's the way that fantasy has been played for the last decade now. So if you want to convince them, I think that's one of the arguments. This is really the new norm for the majority of leagues. Two, the big argument is always about fun. The reason to change any rule in any league is to maximize fun.
And maybe some fairness. Sure. That's a secondary thing.
But I think primary, number one most important thing for every rule is, is this make my league more fun? It's also more fair. It's also another level of competition and excitement. And so you get to try to outsmart, outplan your opponents.
It's another day of drama for your league that you get to look forward to in the waivers process. Most leagues do still default to rolling waivers. So this is a change.
Even on Sleeper. Kyle said he fired up a test. On Sleeper? It was rolling waivers. Hey, Sleeper, you're listening.
No, no, no. Yeah, we've got this platform. Sleeper. We love you guys. You love us. Change. That's all it takes. Just literally type some things on the keyboard and change your default to FAB.
You want to know why it's not exotic? I'll tell you why it's not is because it is more involved. It does take more effort to manage a FAB budget. If you have reverse order of standings, it's very easy to understand how waivers are going to process. You don't have to do another action. So I think that's why. I think it's because of simplicity. Is it better? FAB is better. When you talk about fairness, it gives everybody a fair shot at every free agent every week. If you have fab budget, you know what I mean? And there's a, we have fab trading in our league now. So you can actually include fab in your trade offers, which makes for another little better, another fun way to do it. And then you have to decide how much you can serve towards the end of the year.
