Show notes

🔥 Description

Our PRESEASON WATCH LIST rolls into Las Vegas, where the Raiders enter 2026 with the No. 1 overall pick waiting in the wings, a young running back trying to bounce back, and a pair of pass‑catchers who could define fantasy football at their positions.

The franchise‑QB question: How soon does No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza start. Bloom and Cecil dig into the camp reps, the install pace, and whether the Raiders can realistically keep him on the bench — or if his talent forces the issue by midseason.

Then the backfield bounce‑back: Is RB Ashton Jeanty going to have a better second season after a 'meh' rookie year. Bloom breaks down Jeanty's usage, the blocking improvements, and why Year 2 could be the moment he finally pops in this offense.

And the fantasy cheat codes: Why Fantasy GMs need to consider Tre Tucker — the volume, the role, the chemistry with Mendoza, it's all there. Plus, Brock Bowers is the best tight end in fantasy football, full stop. Bloom and Cecil explain how the offense funnels through him and why his ceiling is unmatched.

Las Vegas has youth, explosiveness, and fantasy upside everywhere — and this episode hits every angle.

The Audible: Chiefs Preseason Watch List — Is Mahomes Still Elite, Walker's Workload & Kelce's Last Push Aug 06, 2026

Show notes

🔥 Description

Our PRESEASON WATCH LIST hits Kansas City, where the Chiefs enter 2026 with their superstar QB healthy enough for Week 1, a new Super Bowl‑winning running back ready to carry the load, and a legendary tight end fighting Father Time.

The headline: Is Patrick Mahomes still elite. Bloom and Cecil dig into his recovery, his arm strength, and whether the offense around him is stable enough to let Mahomes play at the level we're used to — or if the Chiefs are entering a transitional phase.

Then the new offensive engine: The Chiefs added Kenneth Walker, fresh off a Super Bowl MVP run, and he should get a lot of work as Mahomes and the passing game need time to gel. Bloom breaks down how Walker's physicality and explosiveness could become the backbone of Kansas City's early‑season identity.

And the eternal question: How much does Travis Kelce have left in the tank. Bloom and Cecil explore his usage, his efficiency, and whether the Chiefs can still rely on him as a top‑tier option — or if they need to start preparing for life after Kelce.

Kansas City has star power, uncertainty, and a shifting offensive balance — and this episode hits every angle.
