The Preseason Week 1 Storylines That Actually Matter

Warren Sharp runs through everything that matters heading into preseason week 1: what the Commanders lose with Laremy Tunsil gone, Patrick Mahomes vs Josh Allen for best quarterback of the decade, the 2026 schedule traps hiding behind last year's late quarterback surges in New Orleans and Jacksonville, the new Highmark Stadium, and what a single sack actually costs a drive.

Rich Hribar joins to explain moving Christian McCaffrey to No. 3 overall, and where Mahomes and Allen land for fantasy this season.
