Buy or Sell on Fantasy's Most Controversial Players For 2026? (Episode 1015 with Evan Silva, Adam Levitan, John Daigle, Mark Dankenbring)

Hello, and welcome to Episode 1015 of the official establishtherun.com podcast. My name is Adam Levitan, and I have heard the complaints. The people are upset that the show they could not fathom living without, Market Monday, has not run in the last two weeks. So, as men of the people, we thought we would do a buy or sell kind of show here today on some of the more controversial players for the 2026 fantasy football season.
Joining me today for this exercise are three young men you know and love, Evan Silva, former and current king of the Twitter streets. How's it going?

**Evan Silva** (0:56)
It's going great, it's going great.

**Adam Levitan** (0:59)
One of my most viewed and liked tweets of this run-up was just me quote tweeting Silva's tweet saying that he's back.
Incredible. First tweet back goes viral. Anyways, does it feel good to be back Evan amongst the people on Twitter? I'm honestly asking.

**Evan Silva** (1:20)
Nothing has changed.

**Adam Levitan** (1:28)
Also, joining us today, the king of the season long bros, John Daigle, how's it going today?

**John Daigle** (1:33)
Everything being updated around the clock every single day. It's as Silva said, nothing has changed.

**Adam Levitan** (1:40)
Mark Dankenbring, one of the leads on our projections team. Mark, how's it going?

**Mark Dankenbring** (1:44)
It's going great. I mean, talking ball with Daigle, Silva and Levitan, what could get better than that?

**Adam Levitan** (1:49)
All right, on today's show, we are going to hit 15 of the toughest players for us to rank this year. Some are recent risers, some are recent fallers, some are guys getting buzzed right now. The goal here is for this to be like a Market Monday, except with four of us, and hitting on a lot of guys that we have not talked about already this offseason. Please note, for ADP for this exercise, we are using Yahoo Redraft X-rank. That is the way that the rankings are set up in the Yahoo app.
By the way, if you have Draft Kit, you've read hopefully the exploiting articles for Yahoo, ESPN and Sleeper. If you have a choice, you should want to draft on ESPN or Sleeper, not Yahoo, if you have a choice. Anyways, speaking of drafts, if you have your league draft coming up, I'm obviously biased, but I could not fathom doing it without the ETR Draft Kit. At a minimum, you know we put an incredible amount of thought and effort into every single spot. We haven't missed a single injury or coach quote or depth chart change. For me, just having rankings I know that are extremely solid and up to date is a huge part of the battle. And then everything else we have in Draft Kit, which is frankly a ton, is gravy. So head to establishtherun.com, check out the Draft Kit. Again, that's the Draft Kit on establishtherun.com.
All right, let's get into it here, boys. Going to do this in ADP order. First name on the list is Kyren Williams. Current ADP on Yahoo. I'm sorry, current default rank on Yahoo is 27 over all. I know Silva argued this one on man versus machine. So I'm actually going to Mark first on the inputs here on Kyren Williams, because the first thing that people say when they say, oh, Kyren goes too high is, you guys don't realize Blake Corm is going to play a ton. So Mark, maybe you can talk to people about how much Blake Corm we're giving in the projections and how that's affecting Kyren.

**Mark Dankenbring** (3:51)
Absolutely. Yeah.
I think another claim is that Blake Corm started to take more from Kyren Williams as the season went along. So on week seven on from last season, Kyren had a 60 to 40 advantage in carries over Blake Corm. We actually have that tightened up in the season long projections were closer to a 55-45 split just baking in that Corm could eat more into Kyren Williams this season. But for me, I'm still fine drafting Kyren Williams in the third round, which is that 27th overall ADP and it comes down to the high value touches. So Kyren pretty much doubled up Corm in the red zone last year when it came to carries. Kyren had 51 carries inside the 20, Blake Corm 26 Inside the 10-yard line, it was Kyren 30 carries, Corm 16 Inside the five-yard line, it was Kyren 18 carries and Corm nine. Very consistently, Kyren is getting essentially double the high value touches inside the red zone there. And then when you look at targets, it's even more skewed towards Kyren. This includes the playoffs, but Kyren had 60 targets last season, Blake Corm had 19
