Welcome back. It's beyond the box score. I'm Dan Schneier, and that's not Jacob Gibbs over there.

0:18.7

It's Dwayne McFarlane, one of the most underrated and one of my favorite voices in the fantasy analyst. I always think this, when I've read, listen to you on other shows or other pods when I see you pop up on Twitter. Got that, is it south? Are you from the south, I assume? With that, but that actually. Yes, I'm from Texas. I'm from Texas. So that's why everything on Twitter, kind of my bit, is y'all, you know, with the cowboy

0:40.8

hat.

0:42.2

I'm really not like a hick or anything, but I definitely have Texas accent.

0:47.2

Got that Texas accent.

0:48.3

And it's a great accent.

0:49.6

I love listening to that accent, talk about football.

0:51.9

That's what we're doing today.

0:52.7

We're going to be talking about early edition of the top 75. We might not get to 75. We'll get through what we can get

0:59.6

through. Running back rankings for redraft in half PPR leagues. Hey, why wouldn't we be talking about

1:06.4

rankings for the 2026 fantasy football season? You sickos are here on Beyond the Box, or you've been supporting us the last month and a half as we've dove in deep. That's not the way to say that into the NFL draft and dynasty. So today Dwayne's going to jump on and talk a little bit about redrafts with us. And I'm excited to do it. But before we do that, I did want to say, Dwayne is grinding on YouTube as well. So if you guys can do what you did for us and show us all that amazing support you showed us early, check out his new YouTube channel, Fantasy Football's Life, hit subscribe. Why would you not? It's just more content you can get from really smart people. Dwayne's on there with Ian and Matthew Friedman and they're talking a lot of

1:45.1

interesting things. I think the last thing you guys did was the rookie rankings, correct? Top 24.

1:48.7

That was our, that was our first video that we posted to the channel. Channel just launched

1:53.6

yesterday. So, you know, the alternate title we talked about was talking ball y'all. But we came back

1:59.8

to fantasy football as live since, you know, we work for fantasy life. But yeah, appreciate anyone that can subscribe. But this is where you get the sicko content, like what you guys are talking about. This is where we do our deep dives. This is where, you know, I mean, we'll do shorter shows. But it's also where, you know, 60 minutes might turn into 90.

2:18.7

Depends on what all we got to hash out. You came to the right place because that's what our audience is all about. They sometimes want us to go longer and we're going very long indie shows as is. But I'm excited to talk about running next day. I want to start the top. Let's just jump right into this thing. And I know you have some things that you've worked on, including range of outcomes.

2:36.4

You can dive into any angle you want. I want to start the top. Let's just jump right into this thing. And I know you've have some things that

2:34.9

you've worked on, including range of outcomes. You can dive into any angle you want on these. But with the start of these rankings, oh yeah, actually I forgot. I prefaced the show a little bit more. Jacob will not be on the show like I mentioned, but he might make pop in appearances. We will be roasting Jacob's rankings today. We are going off of Jacobs top 75 and we're just going to try to really pick it

2:53.6

apart and make a mockery of it, if possible, Dwayne. No, I'm just kidding. But, you know, if you see something you don't like, say something. You see something, say something. And Jacob might pop in to defend himself because he's around in the background, working on some things that we will be launching and producing for Beyond the Box score later in the week. So I want to start at the top,

3:11.9

Dwayne. Do you have a strong feel on the 1-1 with Gibbs versus Bejohn? And also, are you considering

3:18.6

any receiver if you have the 1-1 over those two? So I think it really is a tier of those two guys.

3:25.0

My lean is to Jemir Gibbs, and I keep it pretty simple. Like he plays for the Lions. Bejohn Robinson plays for the Falcons. I think one could be a top three offense the other, you know, this year. I think the other one, it's like, you know, they could be a middle of the road offense. So, and, you know, it's just been every time we've seen those games without David Montgomery, you know, the massive blowups that we've seen from Jamir Gibbs. You know, obviously, B. John's great as well. So, I mean, I think it's really fine to go either way, but I think they're the top tier. Honestly, like Christian McCaffrey is right there with them. These are all three guys
