We are officially midway through the 2026 NFL season, which means it's time for the Sports Counsel Mid Report! I am joined by Bryant and Gemmar to discuss and react to the most middling players so far this fantasy season and our main reactions/takeaways from them, and we nominate Mr. Mid 2026. Plus, one of our podcasters makes his season debut to deliver the wild Week 8 recap of our Listener League, and we unveil our Week 9 fantasy starts and sits.
