The guys also react to early 2026 expert draft trends from the King's Classic, debate whether Zero RB is still viable in Guillotine Leagues, and decide if the current draft prices on players like Malik Nabers, David Montgomery, and Michael Pittman are worth paying.

Topics covered: • Patrick Mahomes training camp outlook • Safe veteran fantasy football picks • King's Classic snake draft takeaways • Zero RB vs. early RB strategy • Guillotine ADP values and fades • Terry McLaurin & Commanders WR outlook • Boom-or-bust players to target • Safest WRs for 2026 fantasy football
