Jul 23rd, 2026 8:42 AM

Craig is out bucket-mogging locals in Hawaii, so the show opens with Heifetz and DK arguing about what the episode is going to be about in front of Yahoo’s Hayden Winks and Josh Norris. Hayden is buying everyone’s Kyle Pitts (04:45) stock. Josh makes the case for Sean Payton’s newest playmaker (13:41). DK is getting all hopped up over Ricky Pearsall (19:50) again.

WR Rankings, Sleepers, and Tiers. Plus, the Hot QB Rankings, Nos. 9-12.

Jul 20th, 2026 8:00 AM

The Tier 1 (09:31) wide receivers are obvious if you can trust Steve-O, and the first-rounders in Tier 2 (14:29) should be high-floor producers. Where it gets wild is in Tier 3 (18:26), with the sexy, unreliable alphas. Buyer beware. Then Tier 4 (28:25) is a slop of 16 (maybe 18) guys. Craig thinks Luther Burden III is him. Heifetz wants nothing to do with Burden or Zay Flowers or Chris Olave. Tiers 5 and 6 (59:48) become guys just naming guys (complimentary). Ricky Pearsall. Jayden Reed. Parker Washington. Matthew Golden. Xavier Worthy. Denzel Boston. Khalil Shakir. AD Mitchell. Travis Hunter. Then, finally, we get to nos. 9-12 in The Seven’s Hottest NFL QB Rankings (01:01:22). Another boyish cutie. A shocking salt-and-pepper DILF at no. 11. First-team All-Aura breaks the top 10, plus the fourth and final former no. 1 pick in the pack. Mmm, mmm, mmmm. The thank-yous run into another Millennial Banger from Craig. Culture peaked in 2010. (00:00) Intro (09:31) Tier 1: True WR1 potential (14:29) Tier 2: First-round-caliber guys (18:26) Tier 3: Sexy and unreliable alphas (28:25) Tier 4: 16-18 guys we don’t know what to do with (59:48) Tiers 5 and 6: Requires faith (01:01:22) Hottest NFL QB Rankings: Nos. 9-12 1.
