They went 19-9 to earn the #5 seed behind huge seasons from Christian McCaffrey andOffensive Player of the Year (and BTBNE Cover Boy) Jaxon Smith-Njigba. And that was without theservices of Malik Nabers for much of the season after he went down with a torn ACL early. In thefirst round the Sell Outs were the beneficiary of Kyle Pitts’ career 40-point game in oustingSad’s Lucky Buck, but in the next round they themselves were victimized by a 40-pointer from Puka Nacua and the corresponding 30-pointer from Matt Stafford. But with Nabersback and Kyren Williams in the fold, 2026 could be the year the Sell Outs win it all.QB: B+The Sell Outs’ QB room has taken a bitof a beating since this time last year.Lamar Jackson dealt with injuries andwas unable to replicate his incredibleQB1 2024 season. Cam Wardpredictably struggled in a brutalsituation, Tua also struggled and waseventually cut, and Aaron Rodgerslooked his age. Malik Willis got a bigdeal to be the Dolphins’ starter, buthe was dealt for Kyren Williams,leaving things solely in the hands ofNotable Bench Players Lamar and Cam Ward for 2026.QB Tua Tagovailoa QB25 Trade - ‘23 Player '25 Finish Acquired RB Chuba Hubbard RB40 Trade - ‘23 QB Aaron Rodgers QB18 Draft 5.05 - ‘222025 FINISH:19-9 (5TH)PF: 1,778.24 (4TH)PA: 1,600.36 (7TH)RB Tyrone Tracy RB28 Trade - ‘25 WR Christian Watson WR42 Trade - ‘24 SF Tua Tagovailoa QB22 Draft 1.06 - ‘25 TE Jake Ferguson TE8 Trade - '23
The good news for Kyle Pitts: he finally broke out, finishingas the TE2 overall in fantasy. The bad news? That wasmostly because the other top TEs either hit the agecliff (Travis Kelce) or got hurt (Brock Bowers). Still, TE2 isTE2, and Pitts’ Week 15 performance propelled countlessteams into the second round, the Sell Outs included. Jake Ferguson provides solid depth, and even Gunnar Helm is interestingwith Chig Okownkonow in Washington.MAY 2026 | ISSUE 04 101WR: A+Courtland Sutton was a nice additionhere last year, and Christian Watsonwas actually pretty damn good whenhe came back. Those two helpedpaper over the loss of Malik Nabers,who recently had cleanup surgerybut will hopefully be ready for WeekOne. The other big story of coursewas the ascension of JSN, who ledthe Seahawks to a Super Bowl winand should have been the MVP.TE: BFor the second straight year, CMC is the pickhere. CMC quickly dispelled rumors of Achillestendonitis in staying healthy all year and churningout another RB1 overall season on yet another400+ touches. The chances he stays healthyagain seem slim to none, but if he does there’sperhaps no player in fantasy more of a lock tolead his position in fantasy scoring.X-FACTOR: CHRISTIAN MCCAFFREYLast year’s first overall pick was draftedinto a brutal situation, with laughableweapons and an overmatched coachingstaff. This year the Titans hired RobertSaleh, who in turn hired Brian Daboll ashis offensive coordinator. They draftedCarnell Tate fourth overall and signedWan’Dale Robinson to a big deal to bean underneath target. The excuses forWard are quickly drying up, so here’shoping he can tap his potential and putup useable QB2 numbers.POTENTIAL BREAKOUT:CAM WARDRB: AThe Sell Outs enjoyed a vintage CMC season in2025, with Kyle Shanahan simply unable to helphimself from loading his aging star up withanother 400+ touches. If that continues, CMC’sproduction is unmatched. Chuba Hubbard andAlvin Kamara both fell off last year, but herecomes Kyren Williams to join Chase Brown toform a formidable top three. Tyrone Tracy andTyjae Spears are questionable depth pieces sothis rating has gone down from A+ to A, but thisis still obviously a RB corps that can win a ‘ship.DRAFT PICKS: DThe Sell Outs enter 2026 down their2027 first, 2027 second, and 2028second, and have no extra picks tobalance those losses. Like basicallyevery contender except the Team,the Sell Outs are “all-in.”

If ever there was a place for a guy to emerge, it’s the 2026 Dolphins WR room. Amazing process on the pick here by the Sell Outs even if Douglas never amounts to anything.

They dispatchedBrock to the Future and the Sell Outs in thefirst two rounds to make it back to thechampionship for the firsttime since their win in 2017.Unfortunately even DerrickHenry’s 45 points couldn’tovercome the Kissers’ juggernaut, and the Wagons had to settle for second. Their roster is still strong enough to win, and plenty more moves are surely on the way for one of the league’s two hyper- traders.QB: C+After Patrick Mahomes wentdown with a torn ACL, theWagons ruthlessly moved himfor MVP Matt Stafford, who came through with a 30-pointer in thesemifinals and will be back for 2026. The Wagons sacrificedsome longevity there, though. They moved Jared Goff in apackage that brought back both Bryce Young and Daniel Jones,so they have the desired three starters, but all of them are fragilein their own way.SUMMARY2025 FINISH:21-7 (3RD)PF: 1,789.20 (3RD)PA: 1,511.26 (10TH)
POTENTIAL BREAKOUT:ISAIAH LIKELYThe Wagons have Matt Staffordto be their QB1 for 2026, butclearly histime is short. They needanother QB to step up and takethe reins. Bryce Young has shownflashes, but they’ve typically comeamidst otherwise-brutal QB play.This guy has the tools (other than prototypical size) and the intangiblesto be a star, or at least a steady producer. Is he running out of chances?Rumors swirl of an extension, which would be huge.Likely has flashed playing in the shadow ofMark Andrews for the first four years of hiscareer. Now reunited with John Harbaugh inNew York, Likely will have the reins all to himselffor what should be an up-and-coming Giantsoffense. With Jaxson Dart slinging the rock andMalik Nabers taking the top off the defense,Likely will likely (you knew it was coming) feastunderneath and over the middle.Travis Kelce cranked out a TE3 overall finish but that was more due to thestate of the TE position. The guy runs like he has a piano strapped to his back.Tough scene for one of the all-time greats. The Wagons weren’t content toride solely with “KillaTrav” and brought in Isaiah Likely to be their TE of thepresent and the future. Juwan Johnson had a breakout 2025, butall in all, this is a pretty meh group.X-FACTOR: BRYCEYOUNGThat’s two full years Puka Nacua has remained on this roster, making him thelongest-tenured Wagon player. Awesome. DeVonta Smith should get a boostwith the expected trade of AJ Brown, while Michael Pittman and DK Metcalf findthemselves real life and BTBLE teammates. Mike Evans and Jakobi Meyersprovide the kind of underrated depth that gets teams through injuries and byes.All told, a very good group here.WR: ATE: CMAY 2026 | ISSUE 04 109RB: BAt the time of this writing last year, the Wagons’ top RBs were Tyrone Tracy andIsiah Pacheco. Suffice it to say they’ve made some improvements here, tradingfor both Saquon Barkley and Derrick Henry during the 2025 season and alsounearthing a couple diamonds in the rough in Jaylen Warren and Rico Dowdle.DRAFT PICKS: FThe Wagons are famous for trading their firstrounders as soon as they get them. They stillhave their 2029 first as of this writing, butotherwise are down their firsts and seconds fromboth 2027 and 2028. They have plenty offourths, though!

They did not score fewer than 123 points any week until thelast week of the regular season, a blip that cost them the scoring title. Theydid earn they bye, and survived a scare in the second round before ultimatelywinning their first playoff game since 2018. The next week they crushed the Wagons in the championship, scoring 186 points - the highest playoff score inleague history. The majority of that league-winning roster is back to try for aleague-high fourth championship in 2026.QB: A The Kissers came into 2025 with questions at QB, but thankfully for them all those questions had happy answers. Drake Maye blossomed into one of the NFL’s best young QBs and led the Patriots to a Super Bowl appearance. Jacoby Brissett took over for Kyler Murray and his garbage-time fueled antics won him the job for 2026 even with a new coaching staff. Never content to rest on their laurels, the Kissers replaced Daniel Jonesand Bryce Young with the steadiness of JaredGoff and the tantalizing rushing upside of MalikWillis.Notable Bench PlayersPlayer '25 Finish Acquired QB Jacoby Brissett QB16 Trade - ‘25 QB Malik Willis QB45 Trade - ‘26 WR Wan’Dale Robinson WR16 Trade - ‘24 TE Terrance Ferguson - Draft 3.08 - ‘25 SF Jared Goff QB9 Trade - '26 WR Chris Godwin WR79 Trade - ‘252025 FINISH:24-4 (1ST)PF: 1,975.90 (2ND)PA: 1,422.40 (11TH)
Justin Jefferson finally had a downyear thanks to the horrific play of“Nine”. With Kyler Murray in town, JJshould return to his usual standard ofplay. Luther Burden has immensepromise and Wan’Dale Robinsonshowed out, finishing WR16 andearning himself $70m from the Titans.This is a crew with the potential to bevery good or pretty mediocre.MAY 2026 | ISSUE 04 117WR: BX-FACTOR: LUTHER BURDENA bad junior season caused Burden to slip in the draft, and thenan injury slowed his progress acclimating to the NFL. But in thefantasy championship he showed out with 23.8 points, good forWR1 on the week, and he was third in the entire NFL inyards per route run behind Puka and JSN. With WRbeing the obvious weak point of this roster, ifBurden hits the Kissers could be even betterin 2026 - a scary proposition for the restof BTBLE.Last year’s potential breakout wasDrake Maye, and after a QB2 finishit’s safe to say that prediction cametrue. This year the potential breakoutis Ashton Jeanty, who laboredbehind a terrible line in a terribleoffense with terrible coaching but stillflashed the talent that got himdrafted sixth overall. There’s a newcoach, new QB, and better linemen,so watch out in 2026.POTENTIAL BREAKOUT:ASHTON JEANTYRB: A++The Kissers rolled back the clock in2025, returning to a RB-heavy attack likethey sported during their dominant 2018season. After going 24-4 with almost2,000 points and winning thechampionship, suffice it to say missionaccomplished. They’ll run 4/5ths of thatsame insane crew back in 2026;hopefully it goes better than whathappened in 2019.In 2025 Trey McBride shattered the NFL record forreceptions by a tight end with 126. Much of thatproduction was fueled by constant trailing scripts soit likely won’t be repeated, but McBride still showedhe’s arguably the NFL’s best tight end and he shouldcontinue to be one of the few TEs that’s the clearfocal point of their offense. Terrance Ferguson camealong slowly but definitely showed glimpses of whythe Rams considered him with their first rounderin the 2025 draft, and he should develop into anexcellent TE2 at the worst.

DRAFT RECAP & GRADESMAY 2026 | ISSUE 04 120The Kissers had a much less eventful draft than2025, when they made eight picks and four trades.They still got two deals done and as usual werehappy to trade down and scoop up value.OVERALL GRADEAs always, this recap is obviously being written through asomewhat-biased lens, but with only three picks theKissers did a nice job of letting the board come to themand scooping up guys with good potential.Grade: B+DRAFT TRADES (2)The Kissers owned 1.12 by virtue of theirchampionship win, but in a weak 2026 class weren’tenamored with the available options. They ended upsending the pick to BttF in exchange for 2.05 and a2027 third. It wasn’t great value to move down sixspots, to be honest, but the available players wereall in the same tier which made it palatable, and nobetter offers were forthcoming.Grade: C+The other move was to trade into the third round,sending that 2027 third from the previous trade toNMNP in exchange for the 3.04 this year to targetone specific player.Grade: B2.05 - DE’ZHAUN STRIBLING, WR, OLE MISSDespite some late draft steam, Striblingwas still widely considered a reach as thefirst pick of the second round. While the 49ershave been panned in the past for their reaches (RickyPearsall, Trey Sermon, Tyrion Davis-Price), they’ve also hadsome big hits (Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, Jordan Mason).Last year the Kissers hit on Luther Burden, another guyeveryone was down on, so they figured why not try the samemove and see what happens?Grade: B+3.04 - ELI RARIDON, TE, NOTRE DAMEThis was the player the Kissers were desperate to tradeback into the third to snag. Raridon tore his ACL in highschool and again as a freshman and also played in anultra-run heavy Notre Dama offense.
