Woke up in the middle of the night with my son’s stomach bug. Was sitting in the bathroom feeling like death, saw I was on the clock in one of my redraft slows, and made the pick. Hope my parents are proud of my dedication.

JJ Zachariason (@lateroundqb.bsky.social)
I just don’t think Brian Robinson is close to the difference between the Commanders winning a Super Bowl or not. The reality is that early-down production is far more replaceable than pass-catching production, and BRob isn’t special on early downs. This doesn’t seem unbelievable

The prospect guide is more player-driven. I spend about 25 pages explaining the model before there are player pages for every RB/WR who were at the combine. And then I do the same for my Year 2 Model. It’s a different experience.

Baker Mayfield had a touchdown rate of 7.2% last year. There've been 15 quarterbacks since 2011 with next-season data who were +/- 0.5% in TD rate to Mayfield's 2024 number. Every single one scored fewer fantasy points the following year. The group averaged a drop of 4.2 PPG.
