Hello, everybody.

Welcome into the Fantasy Pros Football Podcast.

I'm Ryan Wormley joined for the last time in the 2025 season on a Friday morning by Derek Brown and Pat Fitzmorest.

Guys, we are talking key questions, not for week 18.

We have been doing weekly key questions all season long.

It's been a blast.

Appreciate everybody who has stuck with us all year.

But because there's not really any fantasy championship games going on in week 18,

maybe you have a random one going on in some league where the commissioner made a mistake.

But we're not here to discuss week 18.

We will have other kind of live streams and opportunities to answer questions if you do really need lineup help for week 18. We want to look beyond week 18. We want to look into the offseason and early thoughts on the 2026 season. So we're going to go through matchup by matchup, but use each matchup as an excuse to pick one of these teams and answer a question about the future, what the off season

will look like. Maybe it's about a player. Maybe it's about the team in general as a whole.

Does that sound like a plan fits? That sounds great. I, you know, already put together the first

set of 2026 rankings. So I am already looking ahead, tunnel vision into next year and pretty excited about it, actually. Debrer, how are you feeling like very early thoughts? I know you've been working in the week 18 primer this week, which did still come out. Everybody should check out if you do have interest in that. Maybe just for DFS reasons, whatever you want to be looking at that for. But how do you feel in general just kind of starting to think about 2026? Are you excited

for the offseason? Do you think we're going to see a lot of big moves? Are you excited for next year,

feeling different about your process with rankings? What's your kind of your early mindset on 2026?

I think it's going to be a fascinating off season. I think we have so many chess pieces and

quarterback situations that can move and change in so many team situations

that I can't wait to see you, man. I feel like I'm one foot into still into the regular

season and one foot into 2026 and everything that like is swirling in my head about 2026.
