Any landing spot where he's the clear #1 target right away might put him there for me. Think Jeremiah Smith and Carnell Tate were a Justin Jefferson/ Ja'Marr Chase type of tandem, but their QB was very very far from Joe Burrow.

Since 2001, Best Season PPG has been a stronger predictor of NFL draft capital than Last Season PPG and Career PPG for every position except RB.
If you are going to look at a NFL prospect's production profile it's generally best to focus mainly on their best performing season.
Theoretically it should be priced in… but I find most people don’t actually act as if it is.
I think this too until I try to sell vets to my leaguemates.
We are heartbroken by the passing of Anthony Cervino, a passionate fantasy football voice and a friend to so many in the community. He brought energy and authenticity to everything he did.
Our thoughts are with his wife and son during this difficult time.
A wild stat: 3 of the top 5 receivers league-wide last year in burst (the NGS stat that measures how fast WRs are in the first second of their routes) were New Orleans Saints
1. Chris Olave
2. MVS
5. Rashid Shaheed
Was taking a look at the college RTMs done by @talbtree.bsky.social
There are 3 players drafted in the top 10 of the NFL draft with a 99+ Overall Score...
I have been waiting for someone to make some sort of RJ Harvey meme referencing this 😭
Almost 3 hours long! I love how deep y’all go.
Right now the first 3 picks of 12TM SF rookie drafts are…
2.01: RJ Harvey
2.02: Jaxson Dart
2.03: Luther Burden
In my opinion these guys are all worthy of late 1sts.
There’s 3 super talented round 7 RBs that landed on good offenses that have minimal competition
Brashard Smith (KC)
Kyle Monangai (CHI)
Jacory Croskey-Merritt (WAS)
Is there a Scott Fish Bowl starter pack here (@scottfish.bsky.social or anyone?)
Would love to follow everybody here that's playing in SFB
My least favorite part of rookie season is comps… people want an easy identifier, a way to grasp onto the idea of a player they’ve never seen by attaching that player to a familiar trajectory. One that has already happened.
So often, instead of providing context, it obscures our vision while we…

The latest Refining Processes looks at a rule of thumb for how to value players in #dynasty -->
Tyreek Hill is virtually impossible to move right now.
Owners that have him don’t want to give him up for cheap.
Owners that try to sell him for cheap can’t get it done.
And seconds as well

Patrick Mahomes is better than Tom Brady in every single statistical category through 8 seasons
Before everyone starts hating on Mahomes’s football acumen (hate his politics, that’s totally fine), please remember that he is squarely on a path to be the greatest of all time. Here’s him vs. Tom Brady through 8 seasons.
Thanks for reading Smokey🫡
I identify with that archetype most as well.
It’s also fun to think how your league mates might fit into each archetype.
(When I did this in my own leagues I quickly noticed that all manager archetypes can have success)
The way Connor is able to organize and clarify is incredibly impressive and valuable.
Helps ground me and lays a foundation for me to learn and move forward.

Here, I identify three main components of being a dynasty manager.
Execution, Strategy, and Valuation
Which component do you think is most important and why?
