Ryan Wormeli, Andrew Erickson, and Derek Brown break down the biggest NFL training camp overreactions, news, injuries, ADP risers, and fantasy football takeaways on The Tailgate.

The crew reacts to Stefon Diggs signing with Washington and what it means for Jayden Daniels, Terry McLaurin, Chig Okonkwo, Antonio Williams, and the Commanders' offense. They also discuss Zay Flowers’ massive contract extension, why he could make a fantasy leap in Baltimore, and whether the Ravens should use him more in the red zone.

Plus, the guys break down Kenyon Sadiq’s injury, Jacoby Lane’s Ravens camp buzz, the 49ers’ growing injury concerns, Keaton Mitchell’s rising ADP with the Chargers, Parker Washington vs. Brian Thomas Jr., and bold training camp takes for Cyrus Allen, Jordan Love, the AFC South, and the NFC playoff picture.

The 2026 NFL season is almost here, and it's time to look beyond the obvious Super Bowl favorites.

Chris Welsh, Andrew Erickson and Derek Brown break down five legitimate dark horse Super Bowl contenders for 2026, including the Detroit Lions, Cincinnati Bengals, Denver Broncos, Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints. Which teams are truly capable of making a deep playoff run, and which long-shot bets are worth considering?

The guys also dive into the latest NFL training camp news and fantasy football fallout, including the Ricky Pearsall injury, what it means for Jauan Stribling and the 49ers offense, Chris Brazzell's injury in Carolina, concerns surrounding Jeremiah Love in Arizona, Marvin Harrison Jr.'s rough camp, Micah Parsons landing on the PUP list, Baker Mayfield playing without a contract and the latest on Tank Dell.

Plus, the crew looks back at some of the greatest preseason “member berries” — players who exploded onto the scene during preseason and briefly convinced everyone they were the next big thing.
