This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Hello, everybody. Welcome into the Fantasy Pros football podcast. I'm Ryan warmly, joined by Debrough and by Jake Sealy from The Athletic. Today we are talking about some sleepers in 2026 draft, some late-round sleepers that we are keeping an eye on. A lot of names to get through. Debrough, how are you doing?

I have not been on a show for a few weeks because I was on vacation. How are you doing, buddy?

Doing good, man, trying to weather this insane summer heat, just like everybody and unfortunately yourself, worm. But we're trying to stay cool. You really have to bring that up right away to pull back I literally just told Debrough, I have to replace my entire HVAC unit.

I'd leak through my ceiling, AC not working 100-degree heat here in Denver. So I appreciate him needling me with that immediately. I love you. I'm sorry. Jake, how you doing? I'm doing all right, dealing with the heat as well in Virginia. And for everybody out there that doesn't care about our personal lives and why do we start the show with this? You can just go ahead and jump ahead. But shout out to everybody. Like I've had the AC issues too and 90 plus humidity with 90 plus humidity, 90 degrees and humidity down here in Virginia Beach. So I definitely understand the pain. Also, quick, I just want to do this anyway. Shout out. Sam, Sam Neal passed away. I just think,

I just want to throw this out there. If anybody wants the best horror movie of all time that is very underrated, event horizon. If you haven't watched it, rectify that because that is one of the best. And his, that movie will be like, that's etched in my brain of him, his performance in that movie. I agree with you, Jake. And the way that, dude, when I saw that hit the news timeline, I just texted my wife and I said, Dr. Alan Grant is no longer with us. And she goes, oh, dear Lord. Wow. Because, I mean, that's the most iconic role for everybody knows from. And he's a fantastic actor. But Event Horizon, like, you'll change your, that'll be one.

And then Jurassic Park will be two after you watch that.

Yep.

Event Horizon is very underrated.

There is a, there's a YouTube series.

Oh, yeah. I watched it. But yeah, honest trailers. There was one with Jurassic Park where they were like, you know, starring and they

have funny stuff for all the actors. For Sam Neal, it was starring that guy from Jurassic Park, which I always like, it's hilarious. I thought they've done so many. I thought you were going to do the one where he's on the plane and the velociraptor calls Alan Alan yeah um yeah no we're all we're all
