Summary

Joey P, Andrew Erickson and Tera Roberts break down the biggest make-or-break picks in 2026 fantasy football drafts, including risky early-round stars, polarizing breakout candidates, and late-round sleepers with league-winning upside. We dive into whether Chris Olave, Rashee Rice, De’Von Achane, Ken Walker, Trey McBride, Jalen Waddle, Malik Nabers, Marvin Harrison Jr., Kyle Pitts, Parker Washington and more are worth the risk at cost — or if they’re too rich for your blood in fantasy football drafts this season. If you’re preparing for your 2026 fantasy football draft, this episode will help you decide which boom/bust players are worth betting on and which ones to avoid.
