Episode Details

Mike Vadala and Cam White read the Houston Texans' 2026 offseason tea leaves and break down what it all means for your fantasy football drafts.

The crew builds around the two locks: Nico Collins, a perennial WR1 fresh off an extension and the most talented player on the offense, and TE Dalton Schultz, who gets a bump after Jayden Higgins' season-ending ACL tear thinned the WR room. They dig into a bounce-back case for QB CJ Stroud as a dynasty buy, the David Montgomery trade making him the clear lead back over Woody Marks, and where deep-stash targets like Jaylin Noel, Tank Dell, and rookie Lewis Bond fit behind Collins.

Topics covered in this episode: Nico Collins' outlook, the CJ Stroud bounce-back, the David Montgomery trade, the reshaped WR room after the Higgins injury, the TE picture, and Texans redraft and dynasty buys for 2026. Plus, a Week 15 side bet with a rack of ribs on the line.
