TE Takeover?! Why heavier formations are on the rise in NFL and could impact your fantasy teams + Rashee Rice fantasy REAX

About this episode

Nate Tice joins Matt Harmon to discuss the rise of heavier personnel packages in the NFL and their impact on fantasy football.

Did you notice how TEs flew off the board in day two of the NFL Draft? We sure did. Nate Tice joins Matt Harmon to discuss the rise of heavier personnel packages (multiple TEs on the field) and why more teams are leaning into them after the Rams found so much success with them in 2025. Tice and Harmon look at the trend and which teams are committing to it in 2026 and how it could impact each of their offensive player's fantasy value this season.
