Buy Antonio Williams, Panic on Carnell Tate? | 2026 Week 1 Dynasty Rookie Report

You and I were talking in the DMs yesterday as we were trying to put this show together in a way that was best for our viewers and our, our listeners and loyal subscribers, and I was having a hard time really digesting this rookie class.

I was very disappointed, and I think it was simply because I'm so down on this class.

I was blinded a little bit by some of the performances in what was, I believe, the highest scoring week one ever.

Maybe, I think we're a field goal away.

I think the courtesy kneel, I think Brian Paganetti said the courtesy kneel by Kansas City-

Yes

... removed us from the, the record, but-

Yeah, we were just 42 going into Monday night, and I guess they got 41, so yeah.

[laughs]

That's right.

The, the kneel removed it.

But with such a high score in week one, I really expected more rookie performances that really popped off, and we're gonna talk about a few performances that stood out, some that we might, uh, be fading a little bit situationally, but there's a little more juice than I thought initially.

So I'm excited to dive into this.

I wanted to first kind of ask you, though, how do you, how do you go through these performances and not overreact? Because I wanna overreact to a couple.

I'm, you know, maybe I'm under-reacting to a few.

But how do you just digest week one for dynasty managers that might be ready to pull some triggers too quickly?
