A nice pair of notifications on the YouTube channel today 🥳
I had a great conversation with @alfredoabrown.bsky.social on *the process* of fantasy football rookie evaluation, what traits matter when scouting and how to best identify sleepers

Do you like Jadarian Price or do you think you’re supposed to like Jadarian Price?
Best case scenario for Woody Marks, who now had a steady veteran to share the backfield with; help efficiency without threading to takeover
200-225 touches is realistic. TD distribution will be key. Should be in the RB24-30 range
Agreed, Burks has more proven ability to win downfield from what I’ve seen on tape but Branch has the skill set despite low aDOT and gadgety usage.
Also a big difference that could emerge: I think Branch is a top 40 draft pick. Burks likely round 3
I view Branch as better off the release, more explosive through his cuts and working laterally. I think the key difference is Branch’s YAC ability, he’s got loose hips and turns upfield well. I like Burks too but he does more of his damage before the catch. Both likely slot guys who could move a bit
LOTS of movement after Combine weekend and, overall, it’s good news for the mid-rounds of the class

It’s that time of the year 👀
Rookie Profiles with @gridironscholar91.bsky.social return Sunday
I think he’s a sneaky good late round pick. Good hands and surprising turn and catch ability for his size. Uses his frame to create a wide catch radius. Blocking technique is underdeveloped but that could help his fantasy impact
I know there’s a playoff game going on, but I just finished my 70th rookie evaluation for the 2026 rookie class
Drop the name of a rookie you want to know more about for fantasy and let’s chat 👇
Spending my snow day grinding the tape, so it felt like the right time to drop a 3 round rookie mock draft ⤵️

I don’t expect that you watched every preseason game, only a sicko would do that

I’m expecting big things from Auburn WR Eric Singleton Jr. this season
He and these four other players should see their value skyrocket 📈
youtu.be/43tgL-p4qCE
Surprised he hasn’t jumped up yet!
Omarion Hampton is being drafted as RB20 in seasonal leagues
I wrote about why that’s a massive discount for the rookie in a detailed breakout of his 2025 projection

Who you DON’T draft is just as important as who you do
7 players myself and @GridironSchol91 are fading at their current ADP in CFF drafts

Just listened to a podcast series on this…we might just be TOO in sync
I wrote about the 11 freshman I am drafting in devy leagues this offseason
More importantly, though, I wrote about *why* I am drafting them
