Episode notes
Don't Chase Rookies In A Thin Running Back Class
- Avoid overreacting to thin RB classes by chasing names; study landing spots because free agency already filled many backfields.
- The hosts stress patience and situational drafting rather than drafting RBs for need-only reasons.
Prioritize Pass Catching For PPR Dynasty Upside
- Prioritize running backs with receiving routes and pass-game utility for PPR dynasty upside.
- Matt O'Hara repeatedly emphasizes that pass-catching ability is the multiplier that elevates a back's fantasy ceiling.
Jeremiah Love Is The Class's Clear Fantasy Top
- Jeremiah Love is the clear top running back in the 2026 class because his receiving chops lift his fantasy ceiling beyond his rushing profile.
- Matt O'Hara highlights Love's route running, open-field timing, and ability to function like a slot receiver, projecting heavy PPR upside.
