Obviously, we'd all love to draft Jemir Gibson-Jemar Chase. But who are the guys that aren't getting talked about enough that could win you a fantasy football championship? We're about to go through six league winners for fantasy football in 2026. Let's go. Welcome into the lineup fantasy football show. I'm Mitch Anderson. I'm Justin Mello. And Mello, we are joined by a very, very, very, very returning, special returning guests today. Danny from Fantasy Stock Exchange, we are so pumped to have you back to discuss six of our Fantasy Football League. winners. What's going on, Danny?

Not much. I mean, when you guys mentioned it was a league winners video, I'm like, I got to get back on it. If you guys don't know, my brand is basically just talking about the guys I love and let's just say I got two guys I love on this video. Let's go. We're not just talking about the guys we love. We're talking about the guys you are going to love when you draft them and they help you win your league. So, Danny, let's get into this first guy that you're loving in drafts this year. Yeah, and we'll start off. Last time I was on the channel, actually Mello brought him up in the dynasty cycle. And let's just say, if you invested him in dynasty at that time, he has gone up tremendously in value. Oh, yeah. I'm talking about Basil Tudin running back of the Jacksonville

Jaguars. And I get it. It's very much of a projection to say that he's going to be an RB1 in fantasy this year. Like people will just look at the base metrics in 2025. Oh, he was inefficient on his 80 carries. Oh, he wasn't making people miss. It's like, he was playing the short yardage role of the team. Travis E.TN was the RB1 last year. When this regime was hired last year, their entire pitch the management was 2026 and on, this is what we envision of our run game. And Tudin is going to be the centerpiece. And it makes sense, man, when you see a guy like Bachel Tudin, the yards after contact metrics in his last year of Virginia Tech, his overall receiving profile coming out of Virginia tech. I mean, just in general, you're getting a 205 pound talented running back that has

four three level speed. And I get it. He's climbing an ADP. Like people aren't going to watch this video and think, oh, well, I'm going to get him in the round seven. Like, no, if you want him now, you'd probably have to going, having to go into round five, having to go on that four or five turn. But my argument is that is still too cheap. I'd be willing to take this guy at the three, four turnabout. He's currently my 41st ranked player, so early fourth round, give or take. And to me, when I'm looking at it, it's very simple. Chris Rodriguez, he's just a jag, no pun intended. He has six career receptions, less than 250 career touches. And sure, maybe he's a bangor. He steals eight to 10 carries per game. I'm like he should have a role early season once he's back from that foot injury.

But that is key context. First day of camp, this guy gets offseason foot surgery. And everything we have heard from Jaguars camp has pointed to Tudin being the winner. They love how he looks. Explosive plays every single day at practice. And ultimately, if I'm going to be banking a bet on who can be the three-down workhorse for what I project to be a top five to ten offense in the league like I do with the Jacksonville Jaguars, I am doing it with Bayshal Tudin.

Think Buck Ehrving on steroids. Oh, I love that comp right there. Yeah, this is a guy, like you said, Mello brought him up the last time we all spoke, and he has just gone up my board even more somehow. All of the buzz coming out. And meanwhile, I feel like every piece of buzz that comes out of training camp

has been out of Jacksonville somehow. But that being said, the basal toot and train, it's left the station, and it's off the rails right now at the hype. And I'm buying in. I mean, like you said, yeah, you can point to, I believe there was 3.7 a carry last year, but they were using him in so many short yardage situations. Chris Rodriguez, yes, he was effective in Washington last year, but this is a guy that

this regime went out and got one of James Gladstone's first picks last year. And to me, I think he is such an unbelievably screaming value that isn't flying up your redraft boards just because of the fact that, like, a lot of your friends and people who aren't so into fantasy football don't really know Basil Tutin yet. I think the tired take, and I'm a numbers guy. I love metrics. I love stats. The tire take is 3.7. Some of the efficiency metrics weren't there. The wire take is watch him play and you just know that boy's a dog. Like he took a screen to the wrong side of the field last year and still scored like a 12 year touchdown on it when his entire offensive line ran the other way. He just missed like three guys miss. But more than that, I just like this

offense that he's in and the opportunity you talk about with Chris Rodriguez is still not being healthy and him truly being the guy in this offense when like the Bucky Ear, Irving comp is perfect. Like Liam Cohen, day three running back with Bucky Irving, you had this huge explosion as a rookie for Bucky. You can see it from Tootin here in year two. And if you want to like truly make a league winning pick and you don't want just the safe guy, you want the guy who could have a top 10 finish at a discount.

Tutan is your guy. Exactly. Ultimately, I like the Dead Zone this year specifically because there's profiles like Tudin in the dead zone. Typically speaking, when running backs were going, you know, 22 in the first 30 picks and 2020. That's why the dead zone was the thing. Nowadays, when it's so scarce at the top, you're only seeing 15 to 17 running backs going early. To me, Tudin is the best lottery ticket outside of that range, because realistically, we talked about the Irving Cop. Let me point to you another

day three running back with big time tangible traits, who was behind an incumbent workload or a workhorse the year prior. That guy leaves, and he assumed the next workload. And it's funny because there's a lot of parallels here. Again, there's a difference in cost. I feel like the market's gotten sharper. But like Chris Rodriguez, Zach Moss was a pest. Like Bayshaltude, Chase Brown, not the most efficient rookie year. Look what he did in here too. The offense is too, the parallel. I mean, we're statting out these Jags receivers and Trevor Lawrence, like they're Joe Burrow and the Bengals receivers. Like, if you really believe in this offense like that, you also want the running back similar to Chase Brown.

I'm going to pivot here, though, to a tight end. And I'm going to be talking about somebody I love dearly and that is Tucker Kraft. Oh, I've been so adamant all offseason and most years I'm pretty adamant but especially this year. I'm like, take a tight and high, take one of the first two or three and if you don't get one, just punt the position.

Like there's not real disperance makers in the middle rounds. But Tucker Kraft is the exception to that rule though. He is far too cheap in my eyes. He's falling to the late six right now despite being the tight end one in points per game through weekend. gate last year before he tore his ACL. And people continue to sleep on just how talented he is with a ball

in his hands. Outtide ends with at least 25 receptions last year. He led the NFL in both yards per reception, as well as yards after catch per reception. And last year was not just a fluke either, because in 2024, he also led all tied ends with at least 25 receptions and yards after the catch per reception. And was second in yards per reception only to George Kittle, which I think is too perfect, because Tucker Kraft truly, in my mind, is the new George Kittle. I think he will be for years to come stylistically. I think hopefully statistically, you're going to see that same type of production. And just to make things a little bit better, the Packers let their target leader from

a year ago, Romeo Dobbs, Wock and Free Agency creates even more opportunity in this offense, who didn't really bring in any other notable past catchers this offseason either to take away some of that workload. So all of this just leaves the one elephant in the room for me, which is the aforementioned ACL injury. All the early indications have been that he has looked great. And Kraft himself said about his doctor, he told me my knees look spectacular, almost like he had never seen a rehabilitation like mine. I think everyone online, including myself,

read that in a Trump voice in their head. Yes. I just heard that in a Trump voice. But that's neither here nor there, because the point is, Kraft is trending toward being 100% for the start of the season, which means his current ADP is absolute theft. If he were perfectly healthy,

if that ECL had never happened, he'd be going a full two or three rounds earlier. Melo, a lot of people are saying, and sound the alarms, he might just be ahead of schedule, which has never happened with an NFL player before. We've never heard an NFL player be ahead of schedule before, right? Yeah, I mean, Tucker Kraft was my true love last year in the Flock League famously. I had the Kraft Loveland combo, which would have worked out tremendously if the rest of my team didn't go down like the plague, but including Tucker Kraft for that matter.

But yeah, yards after catch ability. The one thing I've also cited this offseason on our channel is the fact that I, I think Green Bay might just throw the football more. Like Michael Parsons, first six weeks, probably not going to be fully healthy. I mean, that's even if he plays in the first six weeks. There's a tweet that came out that he's expecting to miss the first month and a half. On top of that, Josh Jacobs, the legal issues, Jordan Love, we know he's one of the most talented passers in the league if he got more volume. I truthfully do believe that this offense is more so at the 34 to 35 attempt per game as opposed to the 29, 30 attempt per game type of range.

All of a sudden, maybe you make the case that Kraft isn't quite as efficient as he, was after the catch last year. The offense is throwing the football more, that more than makes up for it. Yeah, and I think something that's so interesting with Tucker Craft is so many people are ranking Tyler Warren above him. And with Warren, I think the big argument is, okay, he's stepping into year two, and you've got all these vacated targets from Michael Pittman. If we see Alec Pierce miss time, that's even more vacated targets. But Mello, you brought it up. It's like, we let Romeo Doves walk, and we let Dontavian Wicks walk. And so after that, we vacate all these targets, but you're adding that on top of a guy who was already the tight end won in points per game last year.

Not just a guy we're projecting to break out. And so for me, I think he's such an unbelievably tremendous value. Every best ball draft I've been doing on Underdog, I feel like my exposure for Tucker Kraft has to be like 92%. Yeah. Free click and what, 82, 85 overall, I think is ADPS? Yeah. I can't get enough. Cannot get enough.

Let's move on to a guy that I cannot get enough of. Honestly, since this past January, let's talk some Parker Washington, the man on the wall. It's been a minute since I truly deep dived on Parker Washington, and I want to dig past the fact that Liam Cohen can't stop talking about him, that his teammates can't stop hyping him up, that he's the first one in, last one out of the building every day, constantly making plays at training camp. I'm actually going to ignore all of that and just get into the numbers from last season on why I'm chopping wood and carrying water all August long, and my exposures for Parker Washington

are at 11%. So a lot of people talking about this incoming breakout that already happened. He was Pro Football Focus's 11th highest grade receiver in the entire NFL last season. He led this Jaguar's team in targets. From week 9 on, he was the Y receiver 16. He was the Y receiver 6 in the fantasy playoffs, Y receiver 3 in week 1617. Player Profiler has an awesome metric called the explosive rating that measures a player's explosiveness, factoring in per play efficiency with total volume of explosive plays created.

Parker Washington ranked fourth in the entire NFL. And so now we're seeing all of this incredible camp buzz around an exciting player. But to me, it's camp buzz supporting an incredible player that we already saw last season. And so the Martians got the laser beam pointed on earth. I want Parker Washington. Shout out. Shout out. We might be the unofficial Jaguars podcast at this point.

Danny, I think the last time we had you on, we talked up Trevor Lawrence, too. We're talking up all these Jaguars. We can't stop. I can yappabo Travis Hunter for 50 minutes if I want to as well. I think the point here is just I want pieces of this offense, right? Like, I just want somebody. And Mitch, I'm in, I mean, I'm not in your boat to the point where, like, I have, like, a Parker Washington content addiction. But I do like Parker Washington a lot.

And I think he's somebody who's really starting to gain a lot of respect in the broader fantasy community as well. He's somebody I'm drafting a lot of. But, like, honestly, even if you're a Brian Thomas guy, because you believe in the talent, what we saw as rookie to draft capital. I think a big part of the reason we're talking about these jacks players is we just like this environment and we like their odds to put up a ton of yards, score a ton of points. I want pieces of it. And if Parker Washington's the guy that is going behind Brian Thomas, like, yeah, I do. I am very interested in that.

Yeah. Initially this off season, I was a little bit lower on Parker Washington. I was like, well, if I'm high on Hunter, I'm high on Brian Thomas Jr. I kind of had to like equate it out of my head. But honestly, that negativity has more so just now been on Jacobi Myers. It's like, I'm going to be the Hunter Stan. I can't ignore this Washington buzz. And I think Brian Thomas Jr. is closer to the player in year one than he was in year two.

Because realistically, I mean, the T leaves are reading to the fact that Parker Washington is very valuable in this offense. Like you mentioned in terms of the PFF grade in terms of how he's used down the stretch. He has been the clear winner at receiver in the Jaguars camp. I mean, we look at how we ended the year, 41 targets in those final four games, 19 plus PPR points in each of those four games, including the playoff game. And on top of that, we're hearing reports that he's going to remain on the field, 11 personnel, 12 personnel, 13 personnel. That was my major question mark, because I'm like, if we're jotting out the pure outside receivers

on the Jaguars, to me, it would have been going into the offseason, BTJ at the X, Travis Hunter slash Jacoby at the Z, and then you got Parker Washington operating the slot. But if it sounds like he's going to be on the field in two receiver sets, get some snaps in one wide receiver sets, then all of a sudden you have all the opportunity in the world to produce. So again, I've been very bullish on BTJ. I have him like, I think wide receiver 26 of my rankings, 318P, but I since moved Parker Washington to my 76th rank player. I'll turn this into a daily double too. I mean, we're talking about I love Brian Thomas Jr. And you're so excited

about Travis Hunter and Jacoby Myers is still going to have his role here in Jacksonville. Draft Lawrence. Go draft Trevor Lawrence. We're statting him out. We always joke about this. We're statting him to have 70 touchdowns and 8,000 yards. So maybe you should just get Trevor Lawrence too. Yeah, been loving my Jaguar stacks and best ball. He's playing the Joe Burrow role in that Bengals team and Parker Washington is of course, Jamar Chase. Yeah, absolutely. What's going on, guys?

Yeah, so I'll just go straight into my second player, talking about two young talented running backs. The second one being a guy that, quite frankly, I think, has been out of sighted out of mind.

people will cite to the fact that he only has nine carries in his NFL career. But let's not just forget how good of a prospect Jonathan Brooks was. Like this was a legitimate running back prospect coming out of Texas, over four yards after contact per attempt. He clearly, in my opinion, was a really good running back prospect. I mean, they traded up into the top 50 to get him. He was the RB one off the board that year and the only running back that went inside of the second round. And when I'm looking at this situation, ultimately what it stems back to is that I think

Chuba Hubbard is one of the most replaceable running backs in the league. It looks like the team wants him to win the job because quite frankly, yeah, Chuba Hubbard fell with some injuries last year, but was struggling even prior to the injury. And when you look at his 2025 season, he ranked 47th of 49 running backs in yards after contact per attempt, and he was dead last and explosive runs. At the end of the day, our job in fantasy football is to dictate what the ambiguous backfields are and ultimately what the ceiling is in those backfields. We know Carolina wants to run the football.

We know they produced productive running backs in the past. And if, quite frankly, Jonathan Brooks can just be the lead RB1, he doesn't even have to be an 80% opportunity player. But I think that can actually happen. Because my call for him was Aaron Jones. If you plugged in 215-pound Aaron Jones with Dave Canales, with that offensive line, with that run scheme, dude, I think we're talking about a potential top 15 running back

and you're getting them as like the RB 30 off the board. Yeah, we actually just had a chance. talk about him a little bit with Derek Brown from Fantasy Pros. And one of the stats that blew my mind, you just hit on at the explosive run rate. He had 134 carries last year and zero explosive runs. He was also 79th in the NFL in EPA per rush. And Mello, you talked about this, but like, we're just, we're drafting the guy at his floor right now, Jonathan Brooks. There's so much opportunity in front of him. And he's been skyrocketing too. Like, two months ago, it was criminal. Like, it was like free money to just grab Jonathan Brooks. People are catching up now.

My CLV, man. That closing live value is going crazy. That's paying off mortgages. 27% out 119 average ADP, by the way. Wow. Like, that was just ridiculous. You see, I mean, he is going, in some places now, I think we just hit the breaking point where he's actually passed Chuba on some platforms

right now in ADP. But, like, I don't think that's necessarily wrong. I think he is, when healthy, if healthy, back to his collegiate form, the better player than Chuba Hubbard. and last year's probably better evidence of that than anything. It's just a matter of how big of a role will he have. Will he be the true starter? I think there's a good chance he isn't.

If he is, he's still a value despite his skyrocketing ADP. I couldn't agree more. I think he is just the upside is so undeniable and the perfect guy for the exercise of like who could actually win you your league. Yeah, and ultimately we have the precedent before. Like the two years, Dave Canales has been the head coach at Carolina. Shout out Ryan Heath for this stat. He actually tweeted this.

a couple of weeks ago, but weeks 1 to 3, 2024, Chuba Hubbard, Miles Sanders were the main two in the backfield. Chuba Hubbard completely outplayed Miles Sanders, 5.19 yards per carry on only a 60% design carry share versus 3.1-1 yards per carry from Sanders on a 31% design carry share. For the rest of the season, Hubbard grew to an 81% design carry share. Canales saw that Hubbard was the better running back in the backfield and rewarded him with the work. Now we fast forward to 2025, weeks 1 to 6.

Obviously, I mentioned Chuba Hubbard really struggling, dealing with the injury. Rico Dadole comes in 5.8 3 yards per carry, but only a 31% design carry share in those first six weeks. What happens to that for the rest of the season? It jumps to 61%. Ultimately, to me, the bet is just simply on the fact that if you think Brooks is that top 50 talent, is that guy that he was at Texas, can get over it from a health perspective, do you think he can outplay Chuba Hubbard in the first four weeks? And if the answer is yes, this is a running back you need to be drafting.

Well, I do love drafting me some Jonathan Brooks. I have another running back here I want to talk about. It was going in a similar range a little bit later, I think, in most places now. Far less sexy, but I still just can't resist the urge to draft Rashad White right now. And I'd never really been a huge Rashad White guy throughout his old career. I've been almost like kind of anti-Rashad White. So I'm kind of surprised that I'm in, but I just can't take all the disrespect that he's getting right now. He's being drafted as the RB 39 off the board, often falling in. into the 10th round of 12th team leagues.

And it doesn't make sense for me for somebody who I project to be the starter on a good offense. And part of it is, of course, while the believers are a dying breed, they still do exist. And they have hope for JCM to be the guy in this backfield.

But my problem is he had every opportunity just a year ago to take this job from Chris Rodriguez, who Dana, you just reminded us is not very good. And Jeremy McNichols, who was getting involved. And Bill failed to, really become the true starter, the true workhorse in this offense, he was the running back

43 and points per game, which frankly is just unstartable, regardless of what format you're playing in. So despite the disrespect, we've seen it from Rashad White before, which is really the big difference. When Buckey Irvin went down last year, White finished as an RB1 in both of the very new, the very next two games where he actually got a full workload. And it wasn't just two games last year. We've seen it on a season long bases before. People are very quick to forget that Rashad White was the RB4 overall in PPR just three years ago. That's right. Rashad White finished the entire season as the running back for overall. And now what you're thinking, Mello, that was three years ago. He sucks now. He had pro football focus's fifth highest run grade just last season and know how that is just

run grade because some people think he is strictly a third down pass catching back and then that's all he's going to do here in Washington. The tape from a season ago, likes to differ no matter how many times you want to call him slow and unathletic. Even though I'm talking about how he can run, I'm not mad that he's known as a past catcher too because it doesn't hurt to be a pass catcher on this offense that is desperate four target earners behind Terry McLaurin. And by the way, Rashad White has a report with J.D.M. Dales already from their days at Arizona State. So while I don't think Rashad White has this top 10 running back upside, like we talk about with a guy like Jonathan Brooks, at his cost, I think he could be league winning in the sense

that he could be an every week type of starter in your lineup, as long as he actually takes control of this backfield. Schoolhouse Rock tried to tell us 50 years ago, Mello, that JCP is just a bill, and that's about it. Rashad White has so much going for him, and I'm actually so tired of the disrespect, so much so that that stat you brought up about how he was the RB 4, three years ago, I only found that as like a hate stat for Breeze Hall

when I was trying to make an argument against you, and I was like, wow, yeah, it's actually pretty impressive that Rashad White's been very relevant for the past few years. He's still extremely talented, and what he's actually been missing is a true opportunity. And that's exactly what he's getting here in Washington. Yeah, this is one of my favorite clicks on the board. Realistically, if you need running back production

and you get into round eight, round nine, round ten, like straight up, I prefer guys like Rashad White and Jordan Mason ahead of just the Ramandre Stevenson types, ahead of just the RJ Harvey types. Like, to me, it almost should be flipped at where those guys go on the board. Yeah, RJ Harvey Harvey's, that's a, That's a guy that I think, I feel so good about so many of my calls earlier in the summer and in the spring. I think R.J. Harvey is one of those guys that I'm thinking is one of my misses and that I'm not really feeling too excited about his role here in his sophomore season.

I would entirely agree with that. I'd much rather have Rashad White right now. Yeah, like the receiving profile on top of that, yeah, sure, we're expecting them to sign a Stefan Diggs. First of all, even if they do sign Diggs, we know Rashad White's going to get third down snaps, long down to distance now. It's a very, very good impasse, bro. very tough on the goal line. Like he's shown that he can handle the consequential touches of a team. Like he said, RB4, three years ago. So ultimately, when I'm comparing him versus more of an explosive,

exciting compliment back like Bill, again, I like Ketron Allen on the prospect, but admittedly he fell in the NFL draft. He's probably more so going to be a mid to late season play. Even if you draft for Sean White, if he starts extremely strong, you could use him in a trade-up to eventually consolidate. 100%.

You know if he's on the first. field the vast majority of the snaps for Washington or if he gets 15, 16 opportunities week one. Yeah, if nothing else, that's a trade chip because people are going to see that volume and be like, all right, I want him. That can just be so valuable. All right, let's move on to our final guy. But before we do, if you haven't yet, please hit that subscribe button. We've got some unbelievable content coming out all August long, more incredible guests.

And of course, go subscribe to Fantasy Stock Exchange with Danny and Corey. But guys, guys, let's talk about this last man who, If I went into a draft and I get this guy first and then I get Parker Washington, I'm going to do unspeakable things. And that is Ladd-McConkie. First of all, congratulations to him on being a father. We all know that the baby bump is worth at least one touchdown in week one. But for me, the hype doesn't stop there.

Daniel Popper, senior writer for the athletic who covers the Chargers, has likened his role to that of Tyree Kill and Jalen Waddle in the Mike McDaniel offense. He's also unsurprisingly been lighting it up so far in training camp. But Mitch, I drafted Ladmaconki last year in the second round, and he was a disaster, which I will agree with. Unfortunately, last year, he finished as the wire receiver 12 in his rookie season, so we were drafting him at either the wide receiver 10 or 11, disappoints with a wide receiver 27 finish. But let me explain exactly why everything went wrong in 2025 and exactly why that isn't the case here in 2026. Starting with the offensive line, we've said this ad nauseum. You had the

injuries to Rashon Slater and to Joe All, two All-Pro tackles that go. down and lead to the Chargers having the 31st ranked offensive line in the NFL. As a result, Herbert finishes with a career high 54 sacks and a career high scramble rate of about 8%. Another thing you don't want with those things is for your team to go out and sign a veteran receiver who already has a rapport with your quarterback, who plays such a similar role that he'll cannibalize production, which is exactly what we saw with Keenan Allen. Fast forward to today, we've got a healthy offensive line, a healthy Justin Herbert, the introduction of Mike McDaniel is the offensive coordinator. Keenan Allen's out of the building, hopefully for good,

curse crossed, but now vacate about 122 targets that Ladd can soak up. And so that rookie season used the Y Receiver 12, he led the entire NFL and separation win rate out of the slot at 20.3%, a mark that he almost broke when lined up out wide, an impressive 20.2%. Demon against man coverage ranked second only to Zayflowers and average separation score against man at about 0.29. And so to finish by rant here, the yards and the volume may not have been there last year, but the underlying metrics were. Number one, overall receiver and separation score against cover two, finished fourth among all receivers with about 3.26 average yards of separation. And this team has an immense amount of trust in him. We've already seen Jim Harbaugh come out and

Mike McDaniel come out. They're telling us that this will be a breakout year for Ladd McConkey, and I'm saying the exact same thing. You know I love Lad on this show too. I, I, like, think I might need to push him up my rankings, too, because I'm at a point now where I'm doing drafts, and there's other receivers on the board that I have ranked higher. But then I see Ladd there staring me down. And I'm like, God damn it, he got me again. I can't, I can't not click that button. So I'm drafting a ton of lad. And it's what you said, Mitch.

It's this offensive environment. Like, if he was going to the same exact environment as last year, obviously at his current cost, it would be, I would have no interest at all. But everything has changed for the better. And I've always believed in the talent anyway. So that's why I'm in. I might be a sicko, but he's my wire receiver twice. right now. Ooh, spicy.

And I can see it, man. The sex appeal of a lot, I know it all too well. But all jokes aside, I mean, yeah, you hit the nail in the head here. Ladd-McConkie, a ton of upside, especially when you get to that fourth-round portion of your drafts. We typically like framing, like, for example, a recent video we did on the channel is this year's blank. This year's version of a 2025 breakout star.

Like, for example, Mello, you talked about Rashad White. He would be a good candidate for this year's Javante Williams. To me, if anybody's going to be. this year's JSN, it's going to be the guy that got an extreme upside and offense coordinator that knows how to designate deep targets that has an extremely improved offensive line with those guys coming back and has a top five to eight quarterback in the world? Sounds like a pretty good recipe to me. Yeah, literally, all the ingredients are there.

Like, everything is right there. And that's why I want it. Amen. I love it. And those were our six league winners for 2026. Thank you all for tuning in. And thank you so much to Danny for tuning in. Danny, before we get out of here, do you have any?

If you guys want to check me out on Twitter, again, I live tweet through my Cowboys misery when I'm at games and stuff. You know, I'll send pictures. But it's just Danny Football 59 over on Twitter or I guess now we have to call it X.

No, we don't have to. And I'm not going to. It's like Danny is genuinely the best guy and one of the best follows. And their content is incredible. so go subscribe, go follow him. And most importantly, Mello, before we get out of here, did we miss anything? Nothing from me.

All right, catch you guys next episode.
