"For a third straight practice, Hunter Henry has taken fewer first-team reps in favor of third-round rookie Eli Raridon. What gives?

Raridon's simply become a more consistent and trusted target for both quarterbacks."

Reminder to go touch grass

A scientist in Japan demonstrated that the air inside a forest strengthens your immune system for a full month

The study is incredibly fascinating:

Qing Li, an immunologist at Nippon Medical School in Tokyo, took 12 men on a 3-day forest trip. These were slow walks with no breathing exercises and no set route.

Then he tested their blood and found a surge in natural killer cells -- the immune cells your body uses to fight cancer and virus-infected cells.

Remarkably, the effect didn't fade when they went home, it was still measurable 30 days later.

A control group that walked the same distance through a city showed no change at all.

Pine, cedar, and cypress trees release compounds called phytoncides to defend themselves from insects and bacteria. You breathe them in, and Li believes they switch your immune cells into high gear.

He estimates one forest walk a month may be enough to keep those cells elevated all year.

The best medicine might not even need a prescription -- just a walk among the trees.

the NFL controls WHEN you play, not WHO you play

I've identified the most important observations of the 2026 schedule you need to know

this was a historically bad schedule from a rest perspective

here are key takeaways you need to be aware of 🧵

BREAKING: Donald Trump just betrayed every fan who’s been exploited by Ticketmaster.

This fine is less than 1% of Live Nation’s revenue last year AND lets them continue to rip off fans with a 15% “Ticketmaster Tax." It's wrong.

We need to break up Ticketmaster and Live Nation.

When you look at the 2026 receiver class for dynasty rookie drafts, Makai Lemon, Carnell Tate, and Jordyn Tyson offer three very different profiles.

Put their film right next to their advanced metrics, and a clear picture emerges of how they might translate to the next level.

Let's break down their game and highlight exactly what we need to watch for when they hit Indianapolis for the combine.

We have a league member who has been collecting picks since the league began (2022).

On our 4th season now.

Every single time he acquires a good player – he trades them away for more picks.

There is no end in sight 😂

Some situations look a lot less muddy when digging into the @FantasyPtsData

Colts' YPRR Leaders
vs. Man: Alec Pierce (2.39)
vs. Zone: Tyler Warren (2.63)
vs. Single-High: Alec Pierce (3.12)
vs. Two-High: Michael Pittman (2.22)

Trump and Walmart are posting that Walmart’s Thanksgiving promo price is cheaper, so groceries must cost less.
Let’s put this into even more perspective:

2024 Menu:
Turkey and gravy, sweet Hawaiian rolls, corn, cranberry sauce, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, mashed potatoes, cornbread dressing, pecan pie, pumpkin pie with whipped topping.

2025 Menu:
Turkey and gravy, GV dinner rolls, green bean casserole, cranberries, Stove Top stuffing, GV carrots, GV corn, GV mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, pumpkin pie.

Yea…Of course it’s cheaper. Trump and Walmart think you deserve less. And that you’re too stupid to know it.

Alec Pierce should eat again this week

ATL utilizes single high at the highest rate in the NFL
(73.2%, per @FantasyPtsData)

Pierce against single high:

27.6% target share
3.69 YPRR
32.5% first-read share

those are ELITE numbers

If you've been listening to the @FantasyPros Pod you already know and you started him last week too

Oronde Gadsden II gets a MIN Defense that leads the NFL in MOFO Coverages.

Herbert threw to the In-Line TE 10% more often vs. MOFO teams compared to other opponents.

Including the Dolphins game where Gadsden went off.

But the data says even more about this guy's matchup 👀⤵️

Oronde Gadsden II ran 15 routes in Week 3. The first three routes that he ran all resulted in a target.

His first NFL target could have easily been a TD, but Justin Herbert was hit on his throwing arm.

All of Oronde Gadsden II catches. 5-5 in his NFL debut. Not too shabby. 👍

Jared Goff now has five NFL starts in which his team scored at least 50 points, tied with Peyton Manning (five) for the fourth-most such starts by a quarterback since 1950, and trailing only Tom Brady (eight starts), Drew Brees (six) and Len Dawson (six).

Tucker Kraft average depth of target:
3.9 yards — Year 1
5.3 yards — Year 2
9.7 yards — Year 3

Kraft has four catches of 10+ air yards through two games in 2025.

Last year, Kraft didn’t make his fourth reception of 10+ air yards until Week 14.
