It only took until his second episode of co-hosting duties to claim his territory in fantasy MLR as NA Rugby DB's James Deeley takes down the TFR boys to snatch a playoff spot...and it all happened in MLR 2026's Week 8 that shook up the league's postseason picture! On this week's episode of The Fantasy Ruckers Show, Ryan and James recap the weekend's three matches, discuss what they learned and how it changes their perception as we inch closer to playoffs. They also breakdown the players that helped get fantasy managers to elimination time, and ultimately keep their fantasy MLR championship hopes alive!
