Summary
We open the show by discussing Kirk Cousins signing with the Raiders (2:00) and how his arrival could impact the fantasy outlook for Las Vegas skill players. From there, we break down our early bust candidates for 2026, starting with the latest news from the NFL Owners Meetings (8:55) before diving into three full lists of players who may struggle to return value next season. We begin with Heath’s bust picks — from Trey McBride (24:00) through Bucky Irving (40:20) — then move to Dave’s list, featuring CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens (45:00) through Tucker Kraft (55:50). We close with Jamey’s bust candidates, including De’Von Achane (59:40) through George Kittle (1:14:58). If you're searching for 2026 fantasy football busts, these are the players to approach with caution before draft season arrives.
