Feel It or F--k It 7.6.26: An RSP Podcast with Bob Harris and Matt Waldman

Rodgers may become closer to a top-15 quarterback in the bottom half of that range in 2026, as he's more comfortable with his new offensive coordinator and the veteran receivers are a better fit for his play-calling adjustments and line-of-scrimmage audibles.

Rodgers benefits from a better offensive coordinator than Arthur Smith and veteran receivers who understand his play-calling adjustments and subtle audibles at the line, which suits his strengths better than younger receivers.

His career in the NFL is essentially over due to self-destructive social media behavior and ongoing conflicts with the 49ers organization and teammates.

The 49ers would like to release him; he has issues with the organization and is attempting to force the issue by showing up at camp to claim guaranteed money already paid.

Scout Scott McLuhan warned the 49ers to stay away from Aiyuk due to reliability concerns from his Arizona State days, noting he was a 'wild card' personality-wise with discipline issues and unpredictable attendance at the facility.

Herm Edwards warned the 49ers that Aiyuk was unreliable regarding facility attendance and had discipline issues as a personality concern at Arizona State.

Aiyuk is burning bridges with the 49ers through his behavior; he may have one more good year left but will likely continue problematic conduct with any new team and eventually be discarded.

Aiyuk has derailed potential interest from the Raiders (with GM J Peters and Jane Daniels connection from San Francisco), and the situation is deteriorating with no agent representation currently.

Aiyuk fired his agent about a week ago and has not filed for reinstatement with the league since being placed on the did not report list; the 49ers are reportedly pursuing his guaranteed money due to his failure to attend rehab.

Caleb Williams' lower completion percentage last year should not be a concern; he was in a new offense and threw the ball away frequently to avoid interceptions, a smart decision-making process that will improve as he becomes more familiar with the system.

Caleb Williams demonstrated strong fourth-quarter performance and comeback ability last year, showing understanding of when to avoid turnovers and keep the offense in the game—a critical skill many young quarterbacks lack.

Ben Johnson's process with Caleb Williams started with wanting him to complete 70% of his passes, and the process is ongoing with the team heading in that direction, representing a consistent rise.

Ben Johnson set a goal for Caleb Williams to complete 70% of his passes, and the process is ongoing with a consistent rise expected as Williams becomes more familiar with the offense.

DJ Moore was not always on the same page with Caleb Williams in the new offense last year, contributing to some of the quarterback's completion percentage issues.

Dallas Goedert is identified as the number two trusted target for Jaylen Hurts in the Philadelphia offense after DeVonta Smith.

David Montgomery is the feature back and focal point of the offense, brought in to establish a more smashmouth running game after the team's inability to run the ball in the playoff loss to New England.

David Montgomery at running back 23 is great value, offering solid running back two production with weeks that have running back one upside, similar to Joe Mixon's first season with 10 points per game.

DeVonta Smith is identified as the primary receiver Jaylen Hurts will trust in the Philadelphia offense, positioned as the clear number one target.

Thornton is more likely a third-year breakout candidate than second-year, as he's working with coach Drew Lieberman this offseason and has shown improved camp performance, but his route game and separation still need development.

Thornton is likely competing for the third wide receiver role with Jack Bes in the Raiders pecking order and should make the team but is not expected to move up significantly this year.

Thornton averaged 13.5 yards per catch in his rookie season on 10 receptions for 135 yards, showing limited early production.

Thornton is a dynasty league hold with low expectations; the opportunity exists with no crowded logjam of talented receivers ahead of him, making him worth waiting on long-term.

Emanuel Wilson still looks a little bit behind in terms of what he needs to do, potentially losing out to George Helani for playing time.

George Helani, an undrafted free agent, has a legitimate chance to become a fantasy option in 2026 and is trending up in ADP; he's a better player than Kenny Macintosh with good catching ability, contact balance, and movement skills.

George Helani is currently available at running back 73 with the 277th pick (20th round in best balls) and is trending up in ADP with a clear path to workload compared to other running backs in that range.

George Kittle is expected to benefit from the San Francisco McVey Shanahan-style offense under new coordinator, as tight ends have historically thrived in that scheme.

George Kittle will benefit from increased motion and misdirection in the offense, which will free him up as defenses pay attention to other receivers and schematic movement.

Jadarian Price is expected to get more trust with the team and prove things as George Helani fills the running back role until Zack Charbanet returns.

Javante Williams is going at cost as a tail-end or second-half running back two, and if he continues to get the red zone work from last year (when he finished RB12), he will remain super dangerous.

Jaylen Wright might have some value at some point but currently lacks a clear path to workload compared to other late-round running back options.

Jaylen Wright might have some value at some point but does not currently have a clear path to workload like George Helani.

Justin Herbert's uneven OTAs and mini camp reports should not be a concern, as he is learning new timing and precision in the quick passing game under Mike McDaniel's adjustments to his footwork.

Mike McDaniel is working on adjusting Justin Herbert's footwork to get the ball out quicker, focusing on the first couple of seconds to two and a half seconds, where he is most effective.

Kenny Macintosh lost the running back three competition to George Helani in recent years and is no longer the preferred option at that position.

Kyle Pitts came on late last year with Kirk Cousins as his quarterback, but Cousins is no longer there, raising questions about whether Pitts is just getting started or facing roadblocks ahead.

Analyst is 'feeling it' on Pitts despite QB change, noting he's only getting started at age 25 and has had different QBs/systems throughout his career, suggesting upside ahead.

Kevin Stefansky's scheme is designed to take advantage of tight ends, as evidenced by his success with David Njoku and Harold Fanny Jr., positioning Pitts as an equally talented weapon in the offense.

Priced at tight end 5-6 this year, not elevated from last year's finish, and may end up being a bargain if he continues to play at the same rate.

Mike Evans is dominating in the red zone in practices and is being drafted as a wide receiver 3 (round 4-5), but his historic average output has been wide receiver 1-2 except in injury years. The analyst believes expectations are too low and he's a great play at current cost.

Miles Montgomery, signed to the most expensive rookie UDFA contract on the Patriots, could wind up as the running back three based on his talent and could surge into competition for that spot.

Bateman is the best route runner and most dynamic athlete among the Ravens' receiving options, and the team still has faith in him to be wide receiver two in the offense with potential for WR3/WR4 with some big games in fantasy.

Terrell Jennings is locked in as the Patriots running back three role, primarily due to his special teams excellence rather than his running back talent.

Jennings appears locked in as the Patriots running back three based on recent reports.

David Montgomery is expected to be the feature back, with Marks relegated to receiving work out of the backfield and return game duties, indicating the team found limited value in him as a primary ball carrier despite an extensive run last year.

Woody Marks will not have weekly fantasy value in 2026, according to Matt Waldman's assessment.

Woody Marks is going as running back 70 in drafts, offering contingent upside as a late-round pick if Montgomery gets injured.
