Summary
Join us as we welcome Matthew Rupert of Couch Scouts for a comprehensive overview of the 2026 Dynasty rookie class. We begin with key questions about prospect value, the balance between draft capital and film evaluation, and early-sleeper identification. The discussion then shifts to the FantasyPros Top 5 and the rest of the projected Round 1, highlighting tier distinctions, potential bust candidates, and notable omissions. We also examine early Round 2 prospects, focusing on how combine results compare with film and which players are most likely to rise or fall in rookie drafts. The episode concludes with audience questions and additional prospects to monitor heading into draft season.

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Fantasy Football Today, Dynasty. |
| 0:10.0 | I am your host, Keith Cummings, joined today by my good friend Matthew Rupert. |
| 0:14.8 | This is time four, five, maybe six on the show. |
| 0:18.6 | You guys know who he is. |
| 0:19.6 | He's from couch scouts. |
| 0:38.2 | We always have new listeners. So Matthew, right here at the top, why don't you tell everybody about yourself and about what you guys do at Couch Scouts? Yeah, Cal Scouts, we believe that a film first approach is going to be your biggest edge when trying to, you know, build a dynasty and fancy football. Our flagship product is our rookie guide and we spend hundreds of hours grinding the all |
| 0:43.1 | 22 film and we have a proprietary grading system that we call the recliner rating, |
| 0:49.9 | which is kind of like how we grade each prospect trait by trait. |
| 0:55.5 | And, you know, we give a detailed kind of no fluff right up of each prospect so you can know everything you need to really know about them. |
| 1:05.6 | And this year, we're excited that it's in a very clean and modern web-based app. |
| 1:10.1 | And you can see our Jeremiah Love |
| 1:11.6 | profile for free on our website. And so I can kind of give you a glimpse of what the rest of the |
| 1:18.6 | rookie guide will look like. And probably our favorite product is our one-on-one consultations. |
| 1:23.2 | So you can do a yearly 30-minute consultation with myself or the other two mats on our team. |
| 1:29.0 | And that's definitely something that are members love the most. |
| 1:33.3 | Now, we talked to you back in December, kind of a little bit about the 2026 class, |
| 1:39.4 | but that was so far in advance of any real scouting that it was just kind of a preview before a preview. |
| 1:48.4 | And so we're calling this the rookie preview because as you guys know, if you've been listening to |
| 1:51.6 | this show for a couple of years, when we get into the first week of April, we will be going |
| 1:55.9 | through position by position going in depth on each of these guys. We're going to take more of a general overview with this. And we always start with three questions for our guest. I'm actually adding a fourth question today right at the top because I thought of it right before the show. And I thought, you know, I talked to you back in December before you'd really dug into the scouting. You knew these guys. You'd watched these guys, but now you've gone through the process. |
| 2:20.6 | And I guess just as a whole, has your opinion changed about this class as you've walked |
| 2:27.1 | through like really digging into each of these guys? |
