We're back with another episode of Talk Data to Me with Dwain McFarland and in today's episode, Dwain is joined by fantasy football expert Matthew Freedman to discuss some of the overarching trends we saw in the NFL in 2025 and what that means for 2026 fantasy football.

Some of the trends we'll be diving into:

• Passing yards & dropbacks were down in 2025
• WR2s and below did not deliver in fantasy this year
• Does the RB position have more depth than ever before?
• Will we see a bounce back in TE depth or will it stay low?

Dwain and Freedman did all of the deep dive into the data so that you don't have to! Make sure to check in on these trends so you have an edge in 2026 fantasy football!
