On this episode of On The Couch, Sigmund Bloom is joined by Matt Waldman to dig into the brand‑new 2026 Rookie Scouting Portfolio and break down the most fascinating skill‑position prospects in this year's class. Waldman shares his early evaluations, big swings, and the traits that separate the real difference‑makers from the pretenders.

The guys dive into Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza, a passer with surprising nuance and a ceiling that might be higher than people realize. They examine whether Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love — the top running back in the class — can make an instant impact at the next level, or if landing spot will determine everything. And they break down why Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq might be the best move tight end in the entire draft, with the kind of athletic profile that changes how an offense operates.

🔥 Description

On this episode of On The Couch, Sigmund Bloom and Brian Drake go full‑tilt through one of the wildest stretches of free‑agency storylines — on the field, in fantasy, and in life. The guys open with the Dolphins' stunning decision to consider a De'Von Achane extension, why Bloom calls it madness, and what it would mean if the Seahawks actually traded for him. Then it's on to the ripple effects of Jaxon Smith‑Njigba's record‑setting deal, the Cowboys' long‑term dilemma with George Pickens, and what to expect from Jaylen Waddle, David Montgomery, and DJ Moore on their new teams.

But this episode also hits the heart of fandom. Bloom and Drake talk about the magic of loving a college basketball team in March, why being a fan is about love first, the joy of taking your kids to games, and Drake's hilarious, unforgettable story about quitting the cross‑country team at SUNY‑Oswego.

🔥 Description

On this episode of The Audible, Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom dig into a huge week of storylines shaping the 2026 NFL landscape — starting with the new contract for Seahawks WR Jaxson Smith‑Njigba. What does JSN's monster deal mean for the next wave of young receivers looking to cash in, especially George Pickens, who's angling for his own long‑term payday.

The fellas also dive into the 2026 NFL Draft, spotlighting Jeremyah Love, the consensus No. 1 running back in the class. Could he really fall out of the top 10, or is his talent too rare for teams to pass on. Then it's time for a reality check on Ty Simpson, the Alabama quarterback generating big buzz despite fewer than 10 college starts. Is the hype justified, or is the NFL projecting too much on traits and not enough on tape.

    JSN's new contract and what it means for WR market dynamics

    How George Pickens' negotiations could shift after Seattle's deal

On this special edition of On The Couch, Sigmund Bloom is joined by John Daigle to break down the biggest winners and losers of NFL free agency — and what it all means for 2026 fantasy football.

Then they dive into the fantasy fallout for Jaylen Waddle, David Montgomery, and DJ Moore as each lands in a new situation with major upside… or major risk.

Bloom and Daigle also tackle the trickiest backfields of 2026, including how to approach the Patriots RB room, whether Chris Rodriguez or Bhayshul Tuten is the better bet in Jacksonville, and why the combine may matter less than ever in the coming years. They close with a look at why the Titans' free‑agent moves should make fantasy managers more optimistic than expected.
