The NFL season is finally here, and Sam Holt and Derek Tate have one last fantasy football tune-up before Week 1!
The final 53-man rosters are set, and Sam & Tate break down the biggest surprises from roster cuts that could impact your 2026 fantasy football drafts. Which players gained or lost fantasy value, and what news should you be accounting for on draft day?
Plus, a major development in Green Bay: Josh Jacobs has been placed on the Commissioner’s Exempt List. What does that mean for the Packers offense, and how much should fantasy managers be willing to invest in Marshawn Lloyd as a result?

Are Davante Adams and James Cook among their most-drafted players? Which players are they willing to keep targeting across fantasy football drafts?
