Hello, everybody.

Welcome into the Fantasy Pro's football podcast.

I'm Ryan warmly joined by Andrew Erickson and by Jake Sealy from The Athletic.

We are talking some polarizing players today, draft or pass on some guys across all the positions

who have a pretty wide range of rankings in our early

rankings at fantasy pros.com slash rankings. You can find our consensus rankings there for 2026.

Also our tiers are on there as well from folks around the industry. And we're going to look at

the guys who have these very wide ranges at all the different positions and see who we agree with being high and think

should be low and where we come down on a lot of these guys. Before we dive in, Jake, what do you

have going on at the athletic these days? All this offseason content, Dynasty rankings,

rookie rankings, new way too early rankings and rankings, rankings, rankings, rankings,

because that's what the year it is. It's just to talk about this stuff that we're talking about today.

You see him run around. And then five seconds later, just passed out. She's gone. Zonked. So it's been a while ride here at the Erickson household, but set some time aside to chop it up with you boys.

Archie is very, very adorable.

We've seen some of the pictures.

Is he named after the future number one overall pick Manning next year?

I'm just, me and Archie were excited for college football this year to watch sit down, watch Archie Manning and his march for his Heisman. So it should be a lot of fun. He's a big Archie Bunker fan. Yeah. Yeah, I was like, I was trying to think of how many Archies I could even think of. Those are pretty much the only, well, one of them's Arch, but yeah, Arch and Archie Bunker are the only two I can think of.

All right, let's, let's dive into the episode here. We're going to start with quarterbacks. We've got a couple for you. First one I want to talk about is Justin Herbert. He's QB7 in ECR. His highest ranking is QB6. His lowest ranking is down at QB14. So considering kind of the range we're looking at,
