I'm considering starting Keaton Mitchell tonight over Aaron Jones ...
Am I suffering from "fun-to-start-a-guy-on-TNF" syndrome, or is this smart?

- If I'm starting a franchise today, I'm taking Baker Mayfield over Trevor Lawrence. At me.
- NFL scoring is currently at an all-time high. Everyone attributes this to rule changes and QB proficiency. Few recognize the true cause: this is the first season since 1985 without either Jeff Fisher or John Fox in a coaching position. #TheMoreYouKnow
- The gap between the @SleeperHQ app and every other fantasy app is starting to get embarrassing. Truly the 🐐.
- 2018: Patrick Mahomes drafted late, finished as QB1. 2019: Lamar Jackson late, finished QB1. 2020: Josh Allen late, finished QB1. 2021: Tua Tagovailoa. Send tweet.
- I might get blasted for this, but … … why submit Gibbs to unnecessary wear/tear/tread when you’re blasting your opponent, Montgomery is running effectively (especially at the goal line), and you can save Gibbs for explosivity when you need it. It sucks for fantasy but …
- So, bit of an announcement: Starting Monday, I will be working as a researcher for the NFL Network in LA. 😱🙌🏼😬 Special thanks to all those in the fantasy industry who kept me grinding, and the 3 or so fans who helped me believe I could do this (mom included 😂).
- This time next year, Mike Gesicki is going to be the #3 TE in fantasy behind Kelce & Kittle. Save this tweet and @ me.
GIF - I don’t wanna say this take is trash, but ... this take is trash. Seeker is the least team-dependent system in organized sports. It is 100% skill, separated from scheme. Also, Gryffindor was struggling when HP came along. He carried 1 v 13.
- To the self-starter fantasy folks: NFL Media is hiring a researcher and I am putting the call out to you all to apply. The job is seasonal (roughly 7 months, then 5 off) and would require you to be local to LA (NFL Media offices are in Inglewood next to SoFi). DM me.
- If anyone wonders why California is so expensive. We have a high of 73 today, and this is the view 😁
- Someone tell me if this is a hot take: Puka Nacua was/is a very scheme-dependent prospect who landed in the PERFECT spot (by design). Had he gone ANYWHERE else on Day 3, most people wouldn't even know his name. Landing spot matters. (Note: I love Puka and think he's a WR1)
