Author: NBC Sports, Pat Daugherty, Kyle Dvorchak, Denny Carter April 7, 2026 Duration: 1:01:19

Patrick Daugherty (@RotoPat) and Denny Carter break down the latest NFL news, beginning with the surprising tidbit that Rashee Rice has avoided league discipline for his latest off-the-field issues. Pat and Denny debate his fantasy fit for 2026 before moving on to Ben Johnson’s glowing words on Luther Burden and the latest A.J. Brown trade rumors. They spend the second half of the show breaking down the back half of Pat’s just-released coach rankings. Who are they most bullish and bearish on amongst the new hires? They also debate Mike McCarthy’s Steelers landing spot, if Brian Schottenheimer was actually that bad, and if there’s any hope for Dan Quinn in Washington.
