damn points.

touchdowns and i played bijan on the other side and that went terribly last week but i i don't think people are going to go to this like i tuba's ownership is too low t-max ownership is too low coker's ownership is too low and i think bryce is 700 more expensive than geno But nobody's going to play Bryce either.

You know, it's one of those you outlined it all.

Like Bryce is not the ninth best quarterback in the league.

But, you know, like you said, directionally, I think that's the point about all the Panther stuff.

Directionally, I think they're undervalued.

They're under-owned.

I don't want anything to do with the Travis each ETN HN business.

Those are the Valhalla rounds.

Yeah, exactly.

And so I think like something I wrote down was like kind of adjacent to this and it's, it's, Basically, what you're talking about is we do tend to have a bit of an obsession with IK being.

This is sort of parallel to what you're talking about.

Just saying that's kind of what it is.

This guy's never done anything.

I know the Chargers paid him.

it it's it's just crazy the teams that you can build early early on if you're just if you're just paying attention to what is being said like they're giving us these clues so early in the off season but but a lot of people just don't pay attention to this stuff until they jump back in in like july or august and buddy like that all all that value is gone

Do you break your running back cherry here? Do you grab another wide receiver? What do you like? Well,

Ramondre is available, correct? He is, yep.

Yeah, let's do Ramondre.

He's my, like, I do...

So when you drop the 150 zero running back teams, I call them more like zero running back principals and zero running back adjacent teams.

Like, you know, if...

In the fourth round, I'm not going to remove Travis Etienne from my portfolio just because a semantic argument on what is or isn't zero running back.

I mean, what other than maybe Kendra Miller and Brock Bowers? Every single team here probably has a win total like over eight and a half or nine.

Yeah

... a couple of times, and I know that you guys love Mahomes, and that was part of the plan was to- if I could get Lamar, uh, Mahomes.

But nonetheless, Jahmyr Gibbs, Rashee Rice, Zay Flowers, stacked Zay with Lamar and took Jameson Williams of course to start to build the Lions stack.

Mekhi Lemon and Brian Thomas Jr., and then closed out the Lions stack with Jared Goff.

Took Blake Corum, uh, RB2 in this little hero build.

Aaron Jones, Ja'Corey Cross, Merrick, just kind of filling, obviously filling some more running back depth.

Two wildly different [laughs] uh, players, but nonetheless in a similar tier for me.

Yeah.

On this show, it's part two of the best picks in baseball for 2026.

Pat Kirain from Legendary Upside and myself, Eric Beinfour from Spike Week.

We get into, uh, our running backs and some flexes and wild cards.

On part one, which you could go check out on both the Legendary Upside and Spike Week YouTube channels, we discussed, uh, our favorite quarterbacks, wide receivers, and tight ends, one for Pat and one for myself.

And today we're gonna each pick a running back, a flex, which is, as it might sound, any running back, wide receiver, or tight end neither of us were able to get to with our top pick.

Another sort of, uh, just flex-worthy nominee for best picks in 2026.

Yeah

... uh, jump on.

tell Omar Cooper over a Jordan Tyson in

a month.

But you can also do that to yourself.

And that's actually something that really hit home with me because I've tried to, whatever cheesy phrase you want to use, but I always say, I'm going to take my medicine on X player.

That's how I felt about Matthew Golden.

I didn't really like him as a prospect.

I didn't even think the landing spot was that good other than I know the Packers are a good team.

But yeah, I mean, there's some risk to where he goes now for sure.

Yeah.

Yeah.

So get as many teams as you can through, but, but you know, it's, if you're drafting for the end of the season, then you are somewhat to some extent sacrificing, you know, the, the pure, if we were just drafting to purely advance, we would draft a little differently than the way we do draft now.

So you, you create, you know, a little bit of a disadvantage compared to people who are drafting more focused on like, all I want to do is advance.

And, um, And so, yeah, this is, like, hopefully the time to shine for the teams that built for the playoffs.

But it doesn't mean that you will.

Like, you know, you could build awesome teams for the playoffs, and then the wrong guys go off in week 15 or week 16, and it doesn't go your way.

like Burden versus Aaron Jones or
