    5 NEW playoff teams in 2026

    5 NFL TEAMS ARE CRASHING THE PLAYOFFS IN 2026…JV breaks down his top five new playoff teams heading into the 2026 NFL season, looking at which teams that missed out last year are ready to break into the postseason picture. Starting in the NFC, JV explains why he’s buying back into the Detroit Lions after injuries and a few unlucky breaks derailed their 2025 season, why Tyler Shough and Kellen Moore have him believing the New Orleans Saints can win the NFC South, and why the Dallas Cowboys could take the NFC East behind an explosive offense led by Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and George Pickens alongside a much-improved defense. Then it’s over to the AFC, where Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals finally have enough defensive help to get back into the playoffs, while Patrick Mahomes, Andy Reid, and an upgraded Kansas City Chiefs rushing attack make them impossible to count out despite questions surrounding the rest of the roster. Plus, JV explains why the Baltimore Ravens are essentially a playoff lock with Lamar Jackson healthy and Jesse Minter taking over, and breaks down what each of these teams needs to go right to return to the postseason in 2026.Timestamps:0:00 - Introduction0:51 - Detroit Lions2:19 - New Orleans Saints7:22 - Dallas Cowboys11:23 - Cincinnati Bengals14:26 - Kansas City Chiefs📱 Follow The JV Show:https://linktr.ee/the.jv.show#NFL #NFLPlayoffs #NFLPredictions #DetroitLions #NewOrleansSaints #DallasCowboys #CincinnatiBengals #KansasCityChiefs #BaltimoreRavens #NFL2026 #NFLNews #NFLPodcast #TheJVShow

    KEY Fantasy Football Injury Updates (with @SportsMedAnalytics2.0 )

    NFL INJURIES ARE ALREADY PILING UP…JV is joined by injury expert Dr. Deepak Chona to break down some of the biggest injuries across the NFL and what they mean for fantasy football heading into the 2026 season. Jeremiyah Love is dealing with a high ankle sprain that could threaten his Week 1 availability and make his current fantasy ADP increasingly risky, while Jordan Tyson’s latest hamstring injury raises serious concerns after multiple issues with the same hamstring over the past year. JV and Dr. Chona also discuss why Luther Burden’s groin injury shouldn’t scare fantasy managers away, whether Malik Nabers can return to elite production early in the season following his ACL tear, and how much managers should expect these players to be limited even after returning to the field. The guys then go rapid fire through some of the biggest injured names in fantasy football, including Emeka Egbuka, Tyler Warren, George Kittle, Alec Pierce, Tucker Kraft, and Breece Hall, deciding who they’re drafting and who they’re staying away from. Plus, Dr. Chona reveals why Josh Downs and Ladd McConkey are two of his favorite fantasy targets heading into the season. From recovery timelines and reinjury risk to fantasy ADP, breakout candidates, players to avoid, and how injuries could reshape the opening weeks of the season, JV and Dr. Deepak Chona break down everything fantasy managers need to know before their 2026 drafts.Timestamps:0:00 - Introduction1:37 - Jeremiyah Love5:34 - Jordan Tyson11:51 - Luther Burden14:47 - Malik Nabers17:46 - Fantasy Injury Rapid Fire (Draft or Pass)📱 Follow The JV Show:https://linktr.ee/the.jv.show📱 Follow Dr. Chona:https://sportsmedanalytics.com#NFL #FantasyFootball #NFLInjuries #JeremiyahLove #JordanTyson #LutherBurden #MalikNabers #EmekaEgbuka #GeorgeKittle #TuckerKraft #BreeceHall #LaddMcConkey #JoshDowns #NFLNews #NFLPodcast #TheJVShow

    Reaction to DJ Moore, Ty Simpson, Jaxson Dart, and more in week 1 of NFL preseason

    NFL PRESEASON WEEK 1 WAS WILD…JV reacts to the biggest performances, surprises, and storylines from the final slate of NFL Preseason Week 1 as teams across the league give us our first real glimpse at what they could look like heading into the 2026 season. Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills offense looked incredibly sharp in Joe Brady’s first preseason game as head coach, with DJ Moore immediately flashing his potential as Buffalo’s new top receiver while Jim Leonhard’s new-look defense consistently created pressure. On the other side, Bryce Young struggled to find any rhythm as questions continue to surround his future in Carolina. JV also breaks down the Browns’ chaotic quarterback situation after Deshaun Watson, Shedeur Sanders, and Dillon Gabriel all took the field, while young playmakers KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston gave Cleveland fans reasons for optimism. JJ McCarthy continued to struggle in Minnesota, while Jackson Dart bounced back from a massive hit to deliver a touchdown to rookie Malachi Fields for the Giants. In Los Angeles, rookie quarterback Ty Simpson stole the show, throwing for 190 yards and two touchdowns while looking remarkably comfortable operating Sean McVay’s offense, and Jesse Minter immediately brought a different level of intensity to Baltimore’s defense while rookie receiver Jacoby Lane flashed major potential. From quarterback development and coaching changes to breakout rookies, new offensive systems, defensive schemes, and early reactions, JV breaks down everything that stood out from the conclusion of NFL Preseason Week 1.Timestamps:0:00 - Introduction1:37 - Bills vs Panthers12:44 - Browns vs Bears18:18 - Vikings vs. Giants25:59 - Rams vs. Chiefs31:44 - Eagles vs. Ravens📱 Follow The JV Show: https://linktr.ee/the.jv.show#NFL #NFLPreseason #JoshAllen #BuffaloBills #DJMoore #BryceYoung #CarolinaPanthers #ShedeurSanders #JacksonDart #JJMcCarthy #TySimpson #BaltimoreRavens #NewYorkGiants #ClevelandBrowns #NFLNews #NFLPodcast #TheJVShow

    Myles Garrett Traded to Rams, AJ Brown to Patriots & OBJ Returns

    THE NFL WENT INSANE…JV reacts to three of the biggest NFL headlines imaginable as the league is completely turned upside down by blockbuster moves involving Myles Garrett, AJ Brown, and Odell Beckham Jr. With Myles Garrett reportedly heading to the Los Angeles Rams, AJ Brown landing with Drake Maye and the New England Patriots, and Odell Beckham Jr. returning to the New York Giants, JV breaks down how these moves would reshape the NFL landscape and alter the Super Bowl race heading into the 2026 season. Are the Rams officially the team to beat after adding the reigning Defensive Player of the Year alongside Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, and Sean McVay? Did the Cleveland Browns get enough value in return for one of the greatest defensive players of this generation? Can AJ Brown help turn Drake Maye into the NFL’s next superstar quarterback while making the Patriots legitimate championship contenders? And why might OBJ’s return to New York be one of the most important culture-changing moves in recent Giants history? JV dives into roster construction, championship windows, NFL team-building philosophy, quarterback situations, front office decision-making, and the long-term impact these moves could have on franchises across the league.
