FantasyPros - Fantasy Football Podcast

Ryan Wormeli is joined by Mitch Anderson and Justin Mello of the Lineup Fantasy Football Show to identify the WRs with the talent, opportunity and ADP to become major fantasy football draft values, and potentially league-winners.
The guys break down Christian Watson’s upside in Green Bay, why Ladd McConkey could explode in Mike McDaniel’s Chargers offense with Justin Herbert, whether Tetairoa McMillan can take another leap in Year 2, and why Parker Washington has become one of the hottest names in fantasy drafts.
They also make the case for rookie Carnell Tate, Josh Downs, Jalen Coker, Jameson Williams and 49ers rookie Dijon Stribling before explaining exactly what fantasy managers should look for when trying to identify the next breakout wide receiver.
Plus: Is Zay Flowers actually poised for a breakout with the Baltimore Ravens, or should fantasy managers target higher-upside WRs around his ADP?

Chris Welsh and Derek Brown were joined by The Athletic's Jake Ciely to break down the best early-round draft strategies, targets and roster builds for the 2026 season.
Should you leave the first four rounds with two running backs and two wide receivers? Is an RB-RB start the way to attack the back of Round 1? Or should you take advantage of elite WR value and adjust your strategy as the draft unfolds?
The guys build teams from different draft positions and debate some of the biggest names on 2026 fantasy football draft boards, including Ja'Marr Chase, Brock Bowers, James Cook, Chase Brown, Christian McCaffrey, Javonte Williams, Chris Olave, Jaylen Waddle, Emeka Egbuka and more.
Whether you're drafting from the beginning, middle or end of Round 1, use these strategies to build a championship-caliber roster.

JJ Zachariason joins Chris Welsh and Derek Brown for FantasyPros Fantasy Fest to break down four predictions that could completely reshape the 2026 fantasy football season.
Could Stefon Diggs AND Terry McLaurin both finish as top-24 wide receivers? Is Puka Nacua capable of averaging an incredible 26 PPR points per game? Could Malik Willis become a top-12 fantasy quarterback thanks to his rushing upside? And is Justin Jefferson actually at risk of finishing outside the top 20 wide receivers?
The guys dig into the stats, usage, ADP and historical trends behind each prediction before putting even more bold takes from the FantasyPros community to the test.
