The Phoenix Megalashow brings back Jason's T-shirt cannon, but the venue's lower profile and mezzanine make him fear a ground-level shot could kill someone. Insurance, roof bank shots, and an apple hidden in a shirt escalate the plan before Jason declares that he is there to feed the Foot Clan.
A host tells Mike that making J.K. Dobbins a My Guy is guaranteed to work because everyone already knows how much Mike loves him. The endorsement promptly collides with the familiar injury problem when the desk asks how many legs Dobbins currently has.
The desk struggles to remember Baltimore's old efficiency back, lands on Gus Edwards, and immediately says Gus Bus. A soundboard cue arrives so fast that the hosts marvel at the button's proximity and the operator answers that it must always be ready.
Kyle shares a graphic in which every NFC South team believes it is the division's sole good team, then later pulls the comparison that places J.K. Dobbins among the best high-volume yards-per-carry backs since 2000.
The hosts promise an in-person mailbag for the Phoenix Megalashow and explicitly call it a live-show tradition. They agree the audience performs the mailbag well but cannot decide whether the crowd sings, shouts, says, or simply lets it out.
A top-three Kenneth Walker prediction reveals that multiple hosts consider themselves historical Walker supporters. The desk teases one claimant as silently nodding and typing encouragement behind Mike before closing on the Ken Bone Walker name.
The hosts directly tell Jason that he is a big Gino Smith fan, insist that he accept the identity, and promise to get him a jersey. Much later, a separate unlabeled exchange pairs Geno Smith and Tank Bigsby as someone's alleged top two players without safely naming that target.
The hosts explicitly describe Jason as the show's most outspoken Luther Burden hater who still loves Marvin Harrison Jr., call the comparison the ultimate Jason question, and hear Jason say that the two players are very close for him.
Brooks is credited with DK Metcalf as one fizzle-out candidate and later T.J. Hockenson as another. The hosts treat Hockenson as already gone, say flaming arrows have been fired at his casket, repeatedly forget who he is, and reduce the tight end to 'he was' and then 'he isn't.'
Jason estimates Dak Prescott at roughly 36-and-a-half, is directly corrected to 32, and apologizes for calling him 36. The correction escalates through a Cameron Artis-Payne age-lie comparison, a 32.9 adjustment, and the claim that gray hairs arrive in the decimal year.
The 2026 Phoenix Megalashow is framed as the show's biggest live production yet, and Jason's returning T-shirt cannon immediately becomes an insurance problem: the lower venue may turn a ground-level shirt into a projectile, an apple is jokingly packed inside, and Jason declares that he is there to feed the Foot Clan. The live event will also preserve the communal mailbag ritual, with audience members asking questions in person and singing, shouting, saying, or simply letting out the cue. At the desk, Mike's visible affection for J.K. Dobbins draws an attempted My Guy nomination and another audit of whether Dobbins currently possesses two working legs. Remembering Gus Edwards then produces a lightning-fast Gus Bus soundboard drop and amazement that its button is always ready. Kyle supports the episode with both an NFC South self-delusion graphic and a live Dobbins efficiency lookup. Brooks supplies DK Metcalf and then T.J. Hockenson as fizzle-out candidates; Hockenson is treated as already gone, with flaming arrows fired at his casket and a rapid 'he was, then he isn't' obituary. Jason is directly told that he is a big Gino Smith fan and will receive a jersey, reinforcing an established fixation before a later unlabeled top-two tease pairs Geno with Tank Bigsby. Another exchange explicitly frames Jason as the show's most outspoken Luther Burden hater who still loves Marv, and Jason says the two are very close for him. Jason also ages Dak Prescott to roughly 36-and-a-half before being corrected to 32, apologizing for calling him 36, and prompting a Cameron Artis-Payne age-lie callback. The late hot-take round returns to Ken Bone Walker and jokes that another host has always supported Mike silently from the background.
And that's a really short summary of what happened. I think he had bet over $90,000 over, you know, on his team when he was with Indiana and then other games. And, um, none of it was good. Did he win? Uh, don't ask. I don't know. I just want to know if he's got a good head on his shoulders. Cause it doesn't sound like it. Uh, ask Pete Rose if they won. Um, the point being he's going to enter the supplemental draft, which is something we've never really had to talk about much on this show before because the players entering it
weren't really very interesting. Sorsby was a projected first or second round pick in next year's draft. If he had a good season at Texas tech, most pundits would say he was probably going to have a chance at being in the top 10 of next year's draft. So for the first time in a long time, this is a player that has the chance to be drafted in the NFL supplemental draft. And when you do that, a team will be exchanging a 20, 27 draft pick for Brendan Sorsby. And that pick could be a second. It could be a third. We don't know.
Uh, it's really all over the rumors are. Yeah. The last thing I saw this morning was that they think, you know, some people think one team will give up a second for him. Um, I think third is all but guaranteed. That's high draft capital. And so for fantasy and the future, like he was a good prospect. And so dual threat quarterback, 18 touchdowns in two years. Yeah. A lot of rushing yards. He's a true dual threat. So for fantasy purposes, he is a name that you would like, if he were to have been a first round draft pick in next year's pick in next year's draft, this would be someone in super
flex that is going, you know, at the, at the top of draft. So we had a big, big conversation on the dynasty, uh, show that came out last week on Wednesday. If you listen to the fancy footballers dynasty podcast about what do you do? Um, if your rookie draft is over right now, which most, most dynasty leagues have already done their rookie draft, but now this guy's going in cause you, you got to figure that out. If you're in any dynasty league, you're going to have to figure that out. Does it go to waivers? Do you have another supplemental draft of your own?
Does it go into next year? There's a lot. I didn't hear the conversation. I want to see where you ended up because I have a, a third option potentially. Okay. That just popped in my head and you guys can debunk it. But one of the challenges and tell me where you ended up. The challenge is if you just throw him in the 2027 draft, then he's completely ineligible for teams this year because your rookie draft has already taken place. And if you put them in the 2027 rookie draft, which I think is fine as an option, he's not likely to be drafted and then, you know, start and make a difference, but maybe.
So that's an option, right? The other option is to execute like a supplemental style draft like the NFL does. Yep. That has its own challenges. Tell me where you ended up because I have a, another idea. I think we ended up with doing it just like the NFL does it with supplemental drafts where basically what you do is everyone does a blind bid on, you know, if you want him, you're giving up next year's pick. You can give up next year's second, next year's third. And then essentially whoever had the higher, and this is exactly what the NFL does. Whoever had the higher pick in this year's draft, the worst order.
If, if two teams were to bid a second, then whoever was the worst team this year gets them just like it was a draft. He'd have the first pick in that round. And theoretically he then it will be giving up a, a higher pick in next year's draft. So that's where we landed as the, as the preferred option, but we did give three totally legit options. Um, I don't mind that. I think that's fine. I think it gets a little, it could get complicated if a lot of pick movement has already happened for future years. Right. I guess. Yeah. You have to have the pick to bid it.
Right. So if you don't have your own pick, but you have somebody else's to like messy for the NFL. What about this? Just came up with it. Top of my head. Probably dumb. What if it was just in season fab budget active for source beat? Well, you can, but not everyone has fab. Some, some people, some people just do priority priority. Yeah. I wouldn't apply to them. Oh, the solution doesn't apply to those that do not have fab. I'm just saying, I was just thinking about like, if we all have our hundred dollar in season fab, a lot of people have off season fab, but we wouldn't be talking about that.
But if you just said everybody in our dynasty league today has their hundred dollar in season fab to bid, I think that would be, you think people are going a hundred? No. So, I mean, I think that's an open free market to do that. And obviously you should not be doing this until after the NFL supplemental draft. It still has to get approved. What do you want? Drafted. Yeah. What do you want? Which by the way, he's got a pro day coming up, I think in July. The 10th. What do you think we should do in our dynasty league, Mike?
Like right this moment. The fact that we offer in, in season fab, I think that's perfectly fine. Because see, that seems really clean to me. Because in a, and, and, you know, ours, we're in a single quarterback league. So there, I mean, I'm not, I'm not on the side of anticipating a, a, an NFL team is going to spend a third or a second, maybe a third, but on a guy who is just got marked ineligible to play in college football. Well, I, I know the judge overturned it, but for gambling. Yeah. Like this is a, this is a, this is a, this is a big, big, big, big no, no.
And the NFL to have a player anywhere associated with betting. If you, I mean, cause if a team exchanges a third, this is not like they're giving up a first. There's not a guaranteed to production for him in the future. You know, Carson Beck was a third round pick. If you told me Carson Beck is available for in season fab, he's not going for much. So I think, I think that is somewhere where that's an interesting way to do it. If you want him to have eligibility for this year, if you don't care about that, throw them into 2027. If you have a pretty clean future dynasty draft situation in 2027, do it that way.
It's funny. As long as we've done this show, this is, I don't think ever been, cause the only two relevant guys in the past were Terrell Pryor and Josh Gordon. Shout out to Josh Gordon. Yeah. Second round supplemental pick. But, uh, that was, that was also a dominant player. And then for a year. Yeah. Um, I don't think we had him backed in. No gambling. Wasn't quite what it is to know. And marijuana wasn't quite what it is to correct. The, the rules were very different back then. Denver post is reporting RJ Harvey underwent surgery this off season to repair a torn labrum.
He suffered in that championship game loss. Mike, how does that make you feel? Uh, it makes your shoulder. It makes me. It doesn't concern me. You don't think a shoulder would be important for a player who hits people with his shoulder all the time. Not as important as the legs in which he will use to run. Like I'm not concerned about a shoulder injury or getting better. I mean, I, it's, it, it doesn't change where my stance was on Harvey versus Dobbins and the, uh, we just got more. And I know it's, we're in the coach speak era, but, uh, Coleman got Coleman's getting talked
up. Oh, is he? See this? I thought you were going to say JK Dobbins is going to get talked up by himself, which he did. He said he's going to be the number one. He made us a promise. He said he'll be the number one running back. I know injuries. I'm going to tell you this right now, Mike, if you want to take advice that will guaranteed payoff, you should make JK Dobbins a my guy. Why is that? Because it's just going to work. And you've been talking about it. I'm just telling you like, it's going to happen. People know.
People know how much I love JK. Yeah. He's great. But I do think that this actually opens the door for Jonah Coleman a little bit. Not what they're going to open training camp and RJ Harvey is not going to be out there in pads and full contact. And that's not to say that, you know, when they hit the season, Coleman's going to usurp him, but it just means they're going to see more of Jonah Coleman and what he can do. It's exciting to me as someone who really liked the prospect. How many legs does Coleman and JK Dobbins have? Currently four.
Each of them? Is JK two legs? No, he's back. I was just checking. Currently? He's frequently one? That wasn't. I mean, the funny thing about Dobbins is like, that hasn't been a big part of the discussion that you've brought up is the fact that he does always get hurt. And that is, you're like, you can get this starting running back. If you get him for three weeks, that's not good. No, but if you get him for 10 and you realize that JK Dobbins' career rushing yards per carry? Let me guess it. Let me guess. Please. 5.2. Oh. JK Dobbins. Yeah.
Has a rushing yards per carry average of 5.2. What was the running back on Baltimore that played, that got the ball? Derrick Henry. No. Oh, I know. Late in the game. I know you're talking. And had a ridiculous yards per carry for a year. Gus Edwards. Oh. Before he became a starter. Gus Edwards. Yeah. They'd put him in there and he had like a six yards per carry for three straight years or something. Yeah. Gus Buss. Oh, man. Way to get that in there. I didn't even remember we had that. The Gus Buss. You were on that quick. That was really fast.
You got a Gus Buss button right next to you? Gotta be ready. Always. Dude, ow. How do you find it that quick? That is impressive work. Man. Hit it. The thing for Coleman, I would say, another issue I have with RJ Harvey is when J.K. Dobbins inevitably is a liar about getting hurt because he'll probably get hurt. He promised. He did. I know. I said you better not have your fingers crossed, Mr. Dobbins. I think Coleman steps into way more work than RJ Harvey does. Like, that's all part of my analysis of why I just don't like his RBs MVP.
Here's a stat Kyle pulled up. Since 2000, the only running backs with 500 plus carries with a higher yards per carry than J.K. Dobbins is Devon Achan, Jamal Charles, and Jameer Gibbs. There's no way that J.K. is not real close to 500 on that stat. Because wherever we're drawing that line, you have to draw it. He has more attempts than Achan. From 2023 to 2025? Wow. Okay. Dobbins is great. He just has a brittle body. Lad McConkie has strained his left hamstring during phase two of the Chargers offseason program. Expects to be ready for training camp. That'll be important that he's ready for training camp if he's going to be trying to
get into that two-wide receiver mix. My boy Trey Harris. More opportunities. Chris Olave is scheduled to go off blood thinners on June 29th. That is what shut down his season right when we said he was going to finally play a full season. It wasn't a concussion. It was a blood clot. That is a concern. And this was, when we had looked into it. That's what Wimby went through too. This was the protocol. I think it was six months. You're on it for six months. And for someone like Olave, there's no reason. Just leave him on for the full entirety of the treatment.
And while you're on it, I mean, you can't. You can't be getting hit. So he's been essentially held out just doing individual stuff. But June 29th, he is scheduled to get off the blood thinners. And hopefully we get great news about how he looks. I will know. I mean, if he's just regular in training camp, there will be no worries of this at all. All right. It is time to jump into the mailbag. Mailbag. If you have a question for the show, we're here to help. I want you to get that Foot Clan title this year. Go to the website, thefantasyfootballers.com.

That is one of the traditions of these live shows. It's super fun because people get to ask their questions in person. And they get to sing the mailbag. Yes. And they sing it well. Is that... I didn't know what word to use. Is it sing or is it shout? Say? Let it out. Okay. Voicemail question to kick us off. Hey, ballers. This is Matt from Scranton, Pennsylvania. Just want to say, huge fan.
Quick question. What players do you think are going to fizzle out of the league? You know how Dalvin Cook and Michael Thomas just kind of just fizzled out? Who do you think is going to fizzle out by next year? Thank you, guys. Love the show. The question was, who is going to fizzle out? Players that... I would say injuries played a pretty big part in those guys fizzling out. Yeah. I mean, are we looking for big names or just anybody? The biggest names... I would go a relevant name who you're like, people will draft him for fantasy football. That's Evans or Adams is a relevant name that has the chance to fizzle out.
Those would be two that... I'm not saying they will necessarily this year, but they both have the chance to do that. And then you just have, you know... Going through the ADP. Yeah. I'm looking to... I don't... I mean, Jerry Judy will probably never be heard from again. Yeah. Does that matter? I mean... To... Tony Pollard. Tony Pollard could certainly fizzle out. Nicholas Singleton. Yes. Pollard. Good. Woody Marks could fizzle out. You may never hear from him again. Oh, Brooks. I mean, there's a chance. Brooks is speaking my love language. Brooks is saying DK Metcalf, but he already fizzled out, guys.
Sort of. I mean, I can't really argue with that. You should not sign that money and then lose to Kenny Gainwell in the receiving... Did you say DJ Moore? No, that's a great one. I mean, I think that's the name where it's like... It's still kind of exciting and they'll probably do nothing and never be heard from again. Is there a quarterback that you would say, after this year, you'll never hear their name again? Is there anybody in the starting... I mean, Aaron Rodgers notwithstanding. I mean... I mean, it's hard to say because he's literally the MVP, but at that age, when you lose it, you lose it.
You know, Peyton went from MVP to just done. And it comes with an injury, but Stafford is up there. And the player that I will say I am worried about in two years. So it's like, I don't think he's going to fizzle out. I think he's going to be great this year. I love him this year. But I think we're near the end for Dak. Yeah, Dak is... I think he's 36 and a half or something right now. I was going to guess mid-30s. He's older than you think. He's that old? He's 32, Jason. Is he? Yeah. He's younger than we all think.
He's super young. I was like, I'm not in on that one. You take it back. I apologize for calling you 36. Yeah, that's a big deal in football. Yeah, I mean, that's a huge deal. Cameron Artis Payne didn't even lie that much. No, 32.9. Oh, never mind. He's 33. The great hairs. 34 the next year. The great hairs come in at the .9. When you look at the ages of all of the... When you look at the ages of all the quarterbacks that are currently starting in the NFL, he is basically the oldest relevant good, like Gino's older, who is not already so close to out.
You know, he's not... Obviously, we're going to go Aaron Rodgers and stuff. But I'm just saying, like, he's the next oldest actually currently good quarterback. He's 32, man. He should play for another five or six years. You think that, but there's not a lot of, like, there's not a bunch of 34-year-olds out there. They really do kind of drop off there. I mean, I know that we got the guys like Stafford and Rodgers that pushed past and Tom Brady, but there's plenty of examples of guys that, you know... Let me see if I can pull up a list of the quarterback ages.
That would be interesting. I think you will not see starts in the NFL from Geno Smith, Aaron Rodgers, Kirk Cousins, or Michael Penix again after this year. Yeah, Penix was who I was going to say. And you could maybe throw Kyler Murray into there. So here, let me... So I've got the list right now. Aaron Rodgers, obviously super old. Matthew Stafford, super old. They're about to... Stafford's about to be 40. Rodgers is. Then it's Geno who's old busted. But you love Geno. Jacoby Bursette is the same age as Dak. Jacoby and Dak are both 33... You know, they're going to play 33 years old this year.
I mean, that's it. There's just... There's not players. There's not a bunch of guys that push through that. I mean, we haven't looked into it enough to like... Like, I don't know if that's just a gap in good quarterback play. Sure. I don't know if it's 33-year-olds that flamed out or there just weren't any players in that tier. I mean, the good ones, they play a long time. I consider... I mean, is Dak... I have one name. I mean, Phillip Rivers played a long time, obviously. Big Ben played a lot longer than that. I don't know whether you count Dak in that category.
