Mike Florio· Apr 1, 2026

Florio wants no part of George Kittle even inside the top 10 tight ends, lays out a tight end order with McBride and Bowers first and LaPorta pushed to five, is off Patrick Mahomes as a fantasy quarterback while still expecting him to start Week 1, and thinks Ty Simpson is now a first-round pick who would take over in Arizona by October.

“I don't think I would even take him top ten, Like, I want no part of this.”
