    The NFL’s WORST Team Could Be a Fantasy Football CHEAT CODE

    The Arizona Cardinals could be in for a LONG 2026 season — but their future might actually be pretty exciting.On this episode of Around the Felt, Colin and Reagan break down everything surrounding the Cardinals heading into 2026. Arizona is coming off a 3–14 season and now faces another brutal schedule while competing in an NFC West loaded with the Seahawks, Rams and 49ers.Both guys predict the Cardinals to finish 4–13, but there are still plenty of reasons for Arizona fans — and especially fantasy football players — to pay attention.We break down the decision to select Jeremiah Love No. 3 overall, whether he can immediately become one of the NFL's best running backs, and what Arizona's young offensive core of Marvin Harrison Jr., Trey McBride, Michael Wilson and Love could eventually become.We also discuss the Cardinals' quarterback situation. How long will Jacoby Brissett remain the starter? Will rookie Carson Beck eventually get his opportunity? And could Arizona ultimately find itself picking near the top of a loaded 2027 quarterback class?Then we hand out our Cardinals MVP, X-Factor and Rookie of the Year picks before diving deep into fantasy football. Trey McBride, Marvin Harrison Jr., Michael Wilson and Jeremiah Love all get plenty of attention — with Love potentially becoming a massive PPR weapon despite Arizona's struggles.Finally, we give our favorite Cardinals futures, including Arizona to finish with more wins than Miami at +140 and Jeremiah Love to record 750+ rushing yards.Cardinals fans — what's your prediction for 2026? How many games does Arizona win, and is Jeremiah Love the future face of this offense?Drop your predictions below and make sure to LIKE & SUBSCRIBE for more of our 2026 NFL team-by-team previews!0:00 Intro – Arizona Cardinals 2026 Preview0:13 Why Arizona Is Expected to Finish Last1:05 Cardinals Win Total & Brutal Schedule2:16 Arizona’s Biggest Offseason Additions3:02 Reagan’s Cardinals 2026 Prediction3:33 Why Arizona Could Be Fun for Fantasy4:26 Breaking Down the Cardinals Defense4:59 Mike LaFleur & Nathaniel Hackett5:29 Is Arizona Already Building for 2027?5:34 Colin’s Cardinals Record Prediction6:01 Arizona’s Young Offensive Core6:13 Jacoby Brissett’s Outlook6:45 Arizona’s Awful 2025 Running Game7:00 Was Drafting Jeremiah Love No. 3 a Mistake?8:02 Why Jeremiah Love Is SPECIAL8:41 Is Love Really a Pick for 2027?9:14 How Much Will Tyler Allgeier Play?9:30 Cardinals QB Situation9:52 Will Carson Beck Play in 2026?10:10 Concerns About Carson Beck11:06 When Should Arizona Start Beck?11:46 Cardinals’ Potential 2027 QB Decision12:20 Trey McBride Is an Absolute STAR12:50 Marvin Harrison Jr. Year 3 Outlook13:00 Michael Wilson’s Breakout13:33 Could Carson Beck HURT Their Fantasy Value?14:04 Michael Wilson Fantasy Value14:27 Why We Love Marvin Harrison Jr.14:55 Jeremiah Love’s Fantasy Ceiling15:10 How BAD Is Arizona’s Defense?16:16 Could Josh Sweat Be Traded?16:47 Why We Have Arizona Going 4–1317:01 Where Are the Cardinals’ Wins?17:51 Could Arizona Go Winless in the NFC West?18:36 Cardinals MVP Prediction18:55 Cardinals X-Factor20:21 Marvin Harrison Jr. NEEDS a Big Year21:58 Cardinals Rookie of the Year23:06 Cardinals Fantasy Football Preview23:20 Trey McBride Fantasy Outlook24:29 Is McBride Too Expensive in Fantasy?25:07 Marvin Harrison Jr. & Michael Wilson Value25:23 Should You Draft Jeremiah Love?26:13 Buying the Dip on Jeremiah Love27:21 Should Arizona Trade Tyler Allgeier?28:01 Why Jeremiah Love Could Be a PPR MONSTER28:23 Saquon-Level Rookie Season for Love?!29:11 Marvin Harrison Jr. vs. Michael Wilson30:29 Cardinals 2026 Futures Bets30:46 Cardinals to Finish With More Wins Than Miami31:04 Jeremiah Love 750+ Rushing Yards31:37 Final Thoughts & Outro#ArizonaCardinals #Cardinals #BirdGang #JeremiahLove #MarvinHarrisonJr #TreyMcBride #NFL #NFL2026 #FantasyFootball #CardinalsFootball #AroundTheFelt

    The Broncos Are About to DOMINATE the NFL in 2026

    The Denver Broncos are coming for the Super Bowl in 2026. On this episode of Around the Felt, Reagan and Colin break down everything you need to know about the Broncos heading into the 2026 NFL season after Denver finished 14–3, earned the No. 1 seed in the AFC, and came painfully close to reaching the Super Bowl last year. Reagan is ALL IN on Denver, predicting a 12–5 season, an AFC West title, and potentially a Super Bowl championship, while Colin is slightly more cautious at 10–7. We debate whether Bo Nix can take another major step, what the addition of Jaylen Waddle means for this offense, Denver's loaded offensive line, and why this defense could once again be one of the best units in football. We also give our Broncos MVP, X-Factor, Rookie of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year picks, including Bo Nix, Jaylen Waddle, Jonah Coleman and Nick Bonitto. Plus, we dive into the fantasy football outlook for Waddle, Courtland Sutton, J.K. Dobbins, RJ Harvey, Jonah Coleman and Bo Nix, before wrapping up with our favorite Broncos futures — including Denver 20–1 to win the Super Bowl and Jaylen Waddle over 925.5 receiving yards.

    Patrick Mahomes Is About to REMIND Everyone in 2026…

    The Kansas City Chiefs went 6-11 in 2025 in one of the most shocking seasons of the Patrick Mahomes era. Now the question is simple: Was last year a fluke, or is the Chiefs dynasty actually coming to an end? On this episode of Around the Felt, Reagan and Colin break down everything surrounding the Kansas City Chiefs heading into the 2026 NFL season and explain why we're expecting a major bounce-back year from Patrick Mahomes and Andy Reid. Mahomes is returning from his ACL injury, the Chiefs added Kenneth Walker III to completely change their rushing attack, and Kansas City made a massive draft-day move to land cornerback Mansoor Delane. But after losing several important defensive pieces, does this roster still have enough talent to compete with the best teams in the AFC? We break down Mahomes' potential bounce-back season, Kenneth Walker's fit in Kansas City, the outlook for Rashee Rice, Xavier Worthy and Travis Kelce, concerns about the defense and whether the Chiefs' young defensive players can immediately make an impact. Plus, we give our full 2026 Chiefs record predictions, playoff expectations, MVPs, X-factors, Rookie of the Year picks, Defensive Player of the Year selections, fantasy football targets and our favorite Chiefs futures bets!

    Kyler Murray Named QB1! Can He Save the Vikings in 2026?

    The Minnesota Vikings are entering the 2026 NFL season with a MAJOR change at quarterback — Kyler Murray has officially been named QB1 over J.J. McCarthy.
