New episode of The Long View w/ @YardsPerGretch!
We talked the Raiders and Broncos backfields, Lamar Jackson's future, and how high Zay Flowers' ceiling can be with Jacoby Brissett
Note: sorry the audio is a bit fuzzy on my end, will be figured out

IF YOURE IN LINE AT ARBYS RIGHT NOW STAY IN LINE DONT LEAVE THEY LEGALLY HAVE TO GIVE YOU A BEEF AND CHEDDAR PER THE CONSTITUTION KNOW YOUR RIGHTS 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
great data from jj. my takeaway is the much-discussed takeover of TEs and heavy personnel sets was (as some of us predicted) overstated.
there was a new schematic edge, and now it's being pressed by more teams, and this is what that looks like.
Jeremiyah Love getting rolled up on in the first quarter, for another (new) ankle injury, is one of those next-level shitty injury situations. Unbelievable.
I didn't watch the game live last night but the amount of stuff I'm seeing on my feed calling that Golden play a drop last night — and the engagement all that got — breaks my brain.
Guy created 2 yards of separation in a tight area and Love missed a *huge* target window by at least 5 yards short and to the outside. Ball was "behind his eyes" like Brady said a couple weeks ago, and makes that such a tough catch. And he did damn well to adjust and even get his hands on it — a bunch of WRs wouldn't even make that look like a drop because it took strong body control to make it look like an easier catch than it was.
Respectfully, while it would've been great to see Golden finish *what would've been a spectacular play* to bail out his QB, putting more than like 10% of the blame on him is, in my estimation, just flatly inaccurate analysis based on recent narrative (yes, he's had some bad recent drops, which I've criticized him for).

The full draft we reference on the show can be found right here:
I got @YardsPerGretch, @JakobSanderson, and @RyanJ_Heath together to draft as if Fantasy Football 2026 started today.
We went EIGHT ROUNDS deep 👀

🏁 FOUNDERS LEAGUE WEEK 7 FINAL
@jlarkytweets scored 107.41 on Sunday, finished his lineup, and went to bed 10.8 points clear of the cut line.
He's out.
Because @JoeOrrico was DEAD. 64.5 points. Last place. Down 42.9 with one game left and everyone else's lineups already final.
Then Monday night happened.
Dak Prescott and Saquon Barkley were BOTH unique picks in the 20-entry field. Both scored at 1.5x:
🔥 Dak — 23.28 → 34.92
🔥 Saquon — 15.10 → 22.65
➕ CeeDee Lamb — 24.40
+81.97 on a single game.
64.5 ➡️ 146.47. Last place ➡️ 8th.
@4WhomJBellTolls climbed too (96.65 → 127.89 on McKee and Lemon). Two men went over the bar. The bar couldn't move. Larky never had a snap left to defend himself.
Elimination by spectator. Brutal.
ALSO WEEK 7:
🛡️ @DaveKluge takes weekly immunity one week after winning his way back in: 197.93, untouched
since Sunday afternoon
🔥 @adamlevitan BURNS HIS IMMUNITY at 94.4. The protection is gone, but he lives to play another week
📉 @YardsPerGretch quietly posts 182.59 for 3rd
13 of 20 still standing. Week 8 is live.
Set your lineup. The guy in last place has a 1.5x and
nothing to lose. 🏈

I mean, just an all-time TV segment. Making Chuck do Who He Play For multiple times in a row with the same players is a brilliant idea and I was legit crying laughing by the end, my god.

Ben let me talk about the state of the Colts, and then we tiered out the rookie class to determine which players have the best chance to win your league
