Guaranteed Human. Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy Football Podcast. It's me, Joey P. Joe Pee, Zipia. And today we're going to take a look at the 2026 breakouts via Pat Fitzmore. That's right. Our own Patty Cakes has made a top 10 list. And I can't wait to get to number one on this list. You got to watch the entire show so you get all the way there. No fast forwarding because these names are going to win you some fantasy leagues in 2026. The NFL draft is just days away now. Make sure you stay with us for all of our coverage. And guess who's going to be there live? me Joey P P. So check out the Tailgate our new channel as well.

And of course, here also on the program, by the way, I didn't forget you.

0:49.6

He's sitting quietly in a corner for once, for once on this show, the athletics, Jake Seeley,

0:55.9

who's going to give some more insights to some of the players that Pat's going to go into.

0:59.4

So before I turn the floor over to Pat, Jake, it seems like you had something on your mind

1:03.5

you wanted to share with the audience today.

1:05.5

Are you going to be in Pittsburgh?

1:07.0

I will be in Pittsburgh.

1:08.0

Are you going to be in Pittsburgh?

1:09.5

Did we just become best friends? I'm up there for the Dane Brewer, Beast, like, giveaway type stuff. So we're going to be answering fancy, pre-draft, and all that type of stuff. So where are you on Wednesday? Because maybe we're going to get together. Well, are you staying Thursday for the draft, too? No, I'm not that cool. Well, I mean, I will be checking into a hotel sometime late Wednesday evening. So I don't understand why you're not just, so you're going all the way for the draft and you're leaving the day before the draft. That makes no sense. Pat, have you ever heard a dumber thing in your entire life than that? Like, who drives all

1:44.7

the way to Pittsburgh? I assume you're driving. No. You're flying? Okay. This is company. This is company. No. Come on. I'm Jake Seeley. I work for the athletic. They'll fly me all over the country. Pat, not true. Who goes to Pittsburgh the night before the draft that doesn't stay? That's crazy. That was my question.

2:01.6

Go ahead, Pat.

2:02.0

Good, good question.

2:03.5

That's okay.

2:04.3

But I'm more interested in finding out if you guys are going to meet up at Pramante brothers and have the sandwich with the fries and the coleslaw right on it. Primanti's famous sandwich shop. I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly. It's Pramati Brothers. It is. You got it right there. So it's... I never heard of that. I got the hamburger with the pierogi on it when I was up there. This one, they dumped the fries and the slaw go right on the sandwich. I've done that before. Yeah. So the Permanati Brothers is not as appealing to me. But yes, I will be there Wednesday, Thursday. We've got a flag football tournament on the weekend, regional.

2:51.3

So we did not win the Ravens Regional. We came close, but we fell shorts. So now we traveled to Pittsburgh. And while in there, I figured, I'll just hang out and cover the NFL draft and take my daughter with me, too. So fun day for her. She gets to see the NFL draft and gets to play a little NFL flag on the weekend.

2:51.9

They're pretty cool.

2:52.6

All right.

3:09.1

So let's get to some of the names on the breakout list here. And let's start with a running back who missed some time in 2025. But in 2026 looks to have perhaps a clearer path at the running back position. It's Bucky Irving, who we know a couple years ago burst onto the scene, right? He finished his rb 14 last year obviously only rb 33 pat in this mix because unfortunately like I said injuries kind of derailed the season
