Episode Details

How should you approach a 2026 Superflex Best Ball draft?

Tom Strachan and Andrew Erickson react to the biggest fantasy football developments from the first full weekend of preseason action before completing a live 20-round draft in the FFPC Superflex Best Ball Tournament.

The guys discuss how the injuries to Jeremiyah Love and Breece Hall should affect their draft prices, whether Cam Skattebo’s role is in danger, and which players offer the best value in the potentially high-scoring Rams offense.

Then, follow every major decision as Tom and Erickson draft from neighboring spots in a tight end premium Superflex contest. They break down early-quarterback strategy, portfolio management, hero-RB roster construction, stacking, positional runs and the importance of building for the fantasy playoffs.

Players discussed include Drake Maye, Ja’Marr Chase, Saquon Barkley, Chase Brown, Justin Herbert, Dak Prescott, Rashee Rice, Zay Flowers, Tyler Shough, Juwan Johnson, Jonathon Brooks, Parker Washington, Harold Fannin Jr., Rhamondre Stevenson, Sam LaPorta, Luther Burden, Tetairoa McMillan, Jordan Tyson, Blake Corum and more.

Plus, get answers to listener questions, late-round running back and wide receiver targets, rookie values, Draft Assistant analysis and the final grades for both rosters.
