WASHED? 10 veterans who could be fantasy football BUSTS

Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz ·

2026/08/16

There are a handful of players who get the same response every time you suggest they might do something good this season. That guy is washed. Father Time is undefeated, and the overwhelming majority of top fantasy performers have been under 30. So Ian Hartitz takes the 10 veterans he keeps getting yelled at about, works out how bright the red flags actually are, scores every one of them on the WASHED SCALE out of 10, and figures out who benefits if the player really is finished.

BIGGEST Fantasy Football Questions for the Vikings...

2026/08/14

Ian Hartitz is joined by Matthew Coller of Purple Insider, author of "Football Is a Numbers Game", to work through the fantasy questions that actually decide your draft in Minnesota. Matthew was at every single practice of the quarterback competition and charted every pass, so this is what he saw with his own eyes rather than what the box score says. Some of what came out of it: Kyler Murray is QB1, and it was a real competition that was not close. The total rep count over about nine hard

Boots on the ground beats a depth chart. Eli has been at camp, so this is what he has seen with his own eyes rather than what the box score says.

How To DOMINATE Your Fantasy Draft From a Late Draft...

Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz ·

2026/08/12

Ian Hartitz breaks down exactly how to attack a fantasy football draft from a late first round position, picks 1.09 through 1.12, then runs three full mock drafts from those spots to show what the finished rosters actually look like. Using Yahoo ADP for the first five rounds in a full PPR league with two RBs and three WRs, the shape of the board at the turn is the whole story. Ian calls it the Great Wall of RBs: a few receivers go inside the first seven or eight picks, and then Cook, Jeanty,

5 Players High-Stakes Drafters Do NOT Love As Much as...

2026/08/11

Ian Hartitz breaks down five players going noticeably EARLIER in home leagues on ESPN and Yahoo than they are in high-stakes formats like NFFC and FFPC, and why that gap can be a red flag on a player's 2026 fantasy upside. There is a lot more money flying around in NFFC and FFPC than in ESPN and Yahoo leagues. Maybe that means we should follow it, maybe it does not. That is the question this video works through, one player at a time. And as Ian says up top: a player being on this list does not mean

Ian Hartitz is joined by John Shipley, who has spent eight seasons on the Jacksonville beat, to work through the biggest fantasy questions facing the league's sixth-ranked scoring offense from last season. Boots on the ground beats a depth chart. John has been at every practice, so this is training camp intel on the questions that actually decide your draft: who is even the RB1 here, whether last year's No. 2 overall pick is going to play enough offense to matter, and which receiver in a genuinely

5 Early-Round Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Bust...

Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz ·

2026/08/07

Ian Hartitz goes through five wide receivers carrying a top-24 ADP on ESPN who finished WR24 or worse in PPR points per game last season, and are tied to an offense Vegas has ranked 16th or worse for 2026. That combination is not a great one, so Ian builds the glass half full and glass half empty case for each, then gives an honest bust factor out of 10, one being not a bust at all and ten being a complete bust.

Why Every Round 1 Fantasy Football Pick Will SUCK in...

Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz ·

2026/08/06

It is August, which means it is time to talk ourselves out of every player we are about to draft. Ian Hartitz goes one by one through all 12 first round picks, builds the glass half empty case against each of them, and then gives an honest 1 to 10 rating on how much that risk actually scares him. Some of these are easy to dismiss. Ja'Marr Chase only breaks if Joe Burrow gets hurt again, and every receiver has that problem. Others are real. The bottom of the round is where it gets ugly, because

The BEST Fantasy Football Draft Strategy of 2026

Fantasy Football with Ian Hartitz ·

2026/08/05

Ian Hartitz lays out his favorite way to attack 2026 fantasy football drafts, then runs two full mock drafts to prove it works. The build is simple: take a stud running back in Round 1, take Brock Bowers in Round 2, then let the loaded wide receiver tier come to you. The case for a premium tight end pick is the part most people miss. Over the last decade, tight end has been far and away the best position at overcoming a bad offensive environment.

Zac Jackson of The Athletic joins the show straight out of Browns training camp to answer the five questions that decide Cleveland's 2026 season. Is there any hope for better than mediocre play under center, and how does the Shedeur Sanders vs. Deshaun Watson competition actually end? Is Quinshon Judkins a true three-down workhorse now that he is healthy, and is Dylan Sampson really the next man up?

Vegas Offensive Ranks

2026/08/02

Vegas already has a spread and a total posted for every single 2026 NFL game — so I converted all of them into implied points per game and ranked every offense 1 to 32, exactly the way the sportsbooks see them. Why are the Rams the No. 1 offense in football? Why does Vegas refuse to buy the Broncos after an 11-2 run in one-score games? And how are the Jets staring down a tenth straight bottom-ten scoring season? Every team gets its own breakdown: last three years of scoring, the play-caller, the

6 BOLD Fantasy Football FADES

Six players I am NOT drafting at their current price in 2026 — and none of them are easy outs. Every fade here has a top-6-round home-league ADP across Sleeper, ESPN and Yahoo, which means these are highly ranked players everyone else is happily clicking on. Why does the Saints backfield look way closer to a 50/50 split than people think? Why is the between-the-20s role a death knell for one popular RB? Which wide receiver is one mistake away from being off his team entirely — at a Round 2 price
