    NFL Week 3 Recap: Jets Show Life, Raiders Are Real + Week 4 Games to Watch | Ep. 87

    Send us Fan Mail Week 4 is already here — and that means “it’s still early” is starting to lose its expiration date. On Episode 87 of Rice on the Radio, Ian breaks down everything that stood out from NFL Week 3, starting with a Jets offense that finally showed some real life in Detroit. Geno Smith delivered one of the best Jets quarterback performances Ian has seen in years, Garrett Wilson continues to look like an elite receiver, and rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq had his breakout moment. The Giants survived an ugly, weather-soaked win over Tennessee, Buffalo somehow overcame five turnovers against the Chargers, and the 3-0 Raiders continue to look very real after a statement win over New Orleans. Also on the show: Why the Jets’ loss to Detroit felt completely different from Green BayGiants–Titans and the growing NFC East opportunityRaiders–Saints as Ian’s Game of the WeekQuick hits on Jacksonville, New England, Green Bay, Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Baltimore and DallasFive Week 4 games to watchWhy Patriots–Bills could be a fascinating test for Drake MayeChiefs–Raiders as a true measuring-stick gameRolling the Dice with Rice moves to 18-6 with one voidOfficial Thursday Night Football picks: Steelers/Browns OVER 38.5 and Denzel Boston anytime touchdownWe waited all offseason for football to return, and somehow we’re already nearly a quarter of the way through the season.

    2026 Fantasy Football Rankings: RB, WR, QB & TE Tiers | Fantasy Football 202

    Send us Fan Mail Fantasy Football 202 continues with my complete 2026 positional tier rankings. In Episode 81, I break down my RB, WR, QB and TE tiers, where I think the biggest draft drop-offs happen, and how those cliffs should influence the way you build your roster. We get into: • Bijan Robinson vs. Jahmyr Gibbs at the top of the RB board • Christian McCaffrey’s upside vs. workload and injury risk • Ashton Jeanty, Chase Brown, Breece Hall and the point where I want my RB1 • Ja’Marr Chase, Puka Nacua, JSN, Amon-Ra St. Brown, CeeDee Lamb and Justin Jefferson • Why DJ Moore moved up my rankings during research • Josh Allen, Lamar Jackson, Joe Burrow and my aggressive Drake Maye ranking • Why quarterback depth makes waiting so appealing in 2026 • Brock Bowers vs. Trey McBride • The next wave of tight ends, including Colston Loveland, Tucker Kraft and Tyler Warren • Why kicker and defense still matter — without overthinking them These are my rankings, not gospel. The goal is to understand where the tiers break, know where you’re comfortable waiting, and recognize when the board is telling you it’s time to act. Fantasy football is forecasting. You’re going to get some picks wrong. The goal is to make better bets than the people drafting around you.
