The Great Running Back Panic

Round 1 went chalk — six receivers, six backs. Then nine of the twelve Round 2 picks were running backs and the position was stripped to the studs.

Isaac Got the 1.01

CeeDees Blue Balls is dead. Aaronning Away With It drew the top pick, took Gibbs, and followed with Jacobs and A.J. Brown. Nobody knows how to feel.

Four Years, No Ink

Logan won the 2025 title without ever paying for finishing last in 2022. The asterisk enters its fourth season and the group chat has not moved on.

Kelce and Kittle, Round 7

Two future Hall of Famers went back-to-back at 82 and 83. A decade of tight end supremacy is now officially a value pick.

NTSN vs The Machine

ESPN has Eli first and Jacob Johnson dead last. We have that almost exactly backwards. Seven of twelve teams land within a spot — the other three are a real argument.

Naber, What?! Gets His Nabers

Blake carried the team name for a full year. At pick 32 he finally took Malik Nabers and completed the bit. The value is a separate conversation.

The Asterisk Enters Year Four

Logan Alderson finished dead last in 2022 with a −28.1 differential and agreed to an ass tattoo as punishment. He has since gone champion in 2025 — leading the league at 1,879.96 points and a perfect 7–0 at home — without ever visiting a tattoo parlor. He now enters 2026 defending a crown that a meaningful portion of the league considers provisional.

"He's the champ until he pays up. Then we'll talk." — a league source who definitely isn't Isaac

The Tallboy Rule

Lowest score in the league in any given week shotguns a tallboy. No appeals, no bye-week excuses, no "my quarterback got hurt in warmups." It is the one debt in this league that actually gets paid, which is more than can be said for the ass tattoo.

Season-long punishments are reserved for finishing last in the league — Logan in 2022, Tyler in 2024, Rylan in 2025.

Week 1 projected low: Beatin Sandy's Cheeks at 114.1. Start stretching, Tyler.
