Fantasy Football Mock Draft: How to Approach Pick 1.06 (2026)
Some years, the middle of the first round feels better than others. Yes, there is sometimes ambiguity there, and the players don’t feel as good as the top two or three picks. Quite often, however, when those top players fail, league winners emerge. The beauty of a mid-round selection is you’re never more than 11 picks away from adding your next player. Plenty will change between now and Week 1, but this is how to approach the 1.06 based on current average draft position (ADP) data.

Why the Reformation Still Matters
Reeves and Chester have distilled the Reformation into its most basic distinctives and presented vital biblical doctrines within their historical context in a way that is informative and interesting, accurate and accessible, educational and edifying. The final product is a book, a little over 200 pages, that will feed the soul of Christians who are already well grounded in Reformation history, and inform the minds of the believers who only recently heard the word “Reformation” for the first time.
Twenty-five years ago: the outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease in the UK
An outbreak of the highly infectious animal transmitted foot-and-mouth disease in the UK was one of the worst in the world. Roughly 6 million cattle, sheep, and pigs were culled, and mass funeral pyres became a striking image of the British countryside. Rural communities were shut off, tourism devastated, and movement across the countryside severely restricted. The crisis was so serious that the 2001 UK general election had to be postponed.
Beware of False Teachers
As the word “beware” indicates, discernment is a serious and important business, but it is intended to flow from a love for Christ, an enjoyment of the truth, and genuine concern for believers and unbelievers. If the whole of our Christian life is spotting false teachers, we will be likely become harsh, self-righteous, and unbalanced in our Christian life and experience.

Fantasy Football Rankings, Tiers & Start/Sit Advice (Week 18)
It’s funny how agitated some people in the fantasy community get about leagues that play into Week 18. “I can’t believe you’re playing fantasy football in a week where all 32 NFL teams are playing football!” Look, we get it. A lot of teams have ambiguous levels of motivation in the final week of the regular season, and a small handful will bench starters outright in preparation for the playoffs. It’s understandable that people don’t want to hold championship games in Week 18.
