Massive announcement to be made by Tyson Fury and Dana White????

[Money Lounge @M0neyL0unge]

It’s not rocket science.

#Broncos Jaylen Waddle is Sean Payton’s next 2014-2015 Brandin Cooks when bro was posting 1,100+ rec yards a year.

Tough schedule = negative game script = more passing

Having two alpha receivers forces defenses to spread their attention

Personnel packages x defensive schemes + coverages / QB target tendencies = targets

See week by week projections below ⬇️

@johnsummit Why we miserable tho?

[Against the Grain @ATG_Bets]

Real.

Egbuka finna unload da whole clip in dis offense 😮‍💨

I was thinkin’ more on some London-type role, but nah... dis right here make way more sense

Lord have mercy, y’all are not ready for Emeka Egbuka in 2026.

That man is about to be the 2021 Triple Crown #LaRams Cooper Kupp.

“He’ll be the Z who sometimes looks like a slot”

That was Kupp in 2021 while Zac Robinson was there with McVay.

Pack your bags, Egbuka is about to be a league winner.

Thank you @LockedOnBucs for the epiphany.

Feel free to fantasize over these ‘21 Kupp Stats

@M0neyL0unge Hmm. Deshaun doesn’t like middle of the field, sounds like a bad year ahead for Jerry Jeudy. Time to sell.

[Against the Grain @ATG_Bets]

Bruh. The #Rams not only have ALL Pro CB Trent McDuffie but are finalizing a trade for Myles Garrett.

League is F’d

[Money Lounge @M0neyL0unge]

Here's my Harold Fannin puzzle:

1) Will Watson finally change his targeting philosophy with an elite TE for the first time?

2) Will Fannin's target share *dip* in Monken's system (20-22% vs the Browns' 30-33% in ‘25) despite Njoku being gone?

Best case: Watson adapts, volume holds, league-winner.

Worst case: Volume drops hard.

But the floor? Both Watson and Monken are redzone TE guys, so even a disappointing season has TD upside.

SGA got posterized twice last night.

AJ Brown not at Jalen Hurt’s wedding.

JSN’s OPOY Award labeled “Defensive Player of the year”

Penix returns to field to be QB2

Arvell Reese fell asleep next to a ping pong table

wtf happening in sports?

[Against the Grain @ATG_Bets]

Mane, somebody explain to me how Tarik Skuball throwin zingers 2 weeks after elbow surgery, but Brandon Aiyuk went MIA for a year

[Money Lounge @M0neyL0unge]

For context

So much happening with the LA Chargers offense right now

Herbert is working on quicker release timing to fit Mike McDaniel’s scheme.

💡More rhythm throws and lower ADOT for the receivers. McDaniel’s system creates YAC opportunities, but the quick-game focus + crowded target tree still caps ceiling plays compared to pure vertical offenses.

Interior O-line upgrades (Biadasz, Strange, Slaughter) should fix last year’s bottom-3 outside zone issues.
💡Fewer negative plays + more sustained drives = bigger workload for Omarion Hampton.

McDaniel weaponized Achane in space, and Hampton has strong hands + YAC ability. But he’s a power back who won’t get the same jet/slot/motion usage as Achane.
💡High-end RB2 with low-end RB1 upside.
Superflex PPR ADP: ~15-20 overall (RB9-12) — Good player. Pricey at top-16. Better value later.

McConkey should beat his rookie raw numbers but with lower ADOT in this horizontal scheme + targets split with Johnston, Gadsden, and Njoku.

💡High-end WR3 with WR2 upside

[Against the Grain @ATG_Bets]

@M0neyL0unge Why did I hear Wayne’s voice when I first began readin this? 😆

[Against the Grain @ATG_Bets]

Never had an issue with Bo Nix til he tried roasting the shit out my Chiefs’ Defense 😤

[Against the Grain @ATG_Bets]

Gibbs looked like he was was gliding in those RB drills with Pacheco 😮‍💨

Reggie Virgil in 2026: deep stretcher guy. That is all

[Fade me Harder @FadeAwayProps]

Travis Hunter is here to play on both sides of the ball, fish, and figure out if he’d like to continue sharing his girl

LFG

[Against the Grain @ATG_Bets]

No harder name to spell in the NFL than Jauan Jennings, who just signed to the Vikings for a poop deal

Juan Jennings. Jaun Jennings.

[Money Lounge @M0neyL0unge]

Don’t be fooled by Jalen Nailor’s $35 million contract. ✋

He’s not here to be an alpha or some Deebo/JSN clone.

The real story is Tre Tucker.

He’s the motion stressor, the speed threat, the guy defenses lose the second Bowers tilts a safety.

Tucker is the one this offense is built to spring loose.

#RaiderNation 🏴‍☠️

[Against the Grain @ATG_Bets]

What Lorna Hajdini’s mouth do?

[Money Lounge @M0neyL0unge]

Kyle Pitts is staying in Atlanta

Stefanski’s offense lives through TE’s (a 30% target share last year with the Browns). You saw what he did with Fannin.

Tua’s last “real” TE? Jonnu Smith. Finished Top 5 in PPR leagues

Same system. Better talent.

Welcome Back, Kyle

[Against the Grain @ATG_Bets]

The Tampa Lightning need an answer to the Canadiens retaining the lead. Point wya

[Against the Grain @ATG_Bets]

Expect a ton of Trading down in the first round to acquire more picks due to the lack of skill level in this year’s talent pool.

What do we think about the Milwaukee Bucks hiring Taylor Jenkins? Foul play?

[Money Lounge @M0neyL0unge]

It’s Draft Day 🏁

NDSU WR Bryce Lance is a problem waiting to happen

4.34 wheels 💨
Back to back 1K seasons
25 TDs in ‘24–‘25

Built like Christian Watson with that Alec Pierce field stretcher juice

Pair him with another lefty like Tua and it’s OV 😤

[Against the Grain @ATG_Bets]

Not Slytherin. Not slytherin

Also they call it Spanish Flu. Like Mexican flu, Venezuelan flu, Puerto Rican Flu?

[Plagiarixm Papi 💸 @Plagiarixm]

New Harry Potter Series sneak peak.

Severus Snape isn’t black

Add Mike Washington Jr. to this list 👊

3 RB’s I’m paying close attention to at the NFL Draft

♨️Jonah Coleman (Wash)
♨️Darius Taylor (MN)
♨️ Le’Veon Moss (Texas A&M)

All stash candidates who will force missed tackles and move the chains regardless of O-Line quality

[Against the Grain @ATG_Bets]

This Rueben Bain tanking propaganda is wild. Yeah he made a mistake 2 years ago and I’m sure it weighs on him everyday.

Chiefs will gladly take him tho :) let’s go Veach

[Money Lounge @M0neyL0unge]

Dynasty managers 📈 keep your eyes on De’Zhaun Stribling in the 2026 Draft

Versatile weapon — outside, slot, gadget usage
Explosive upfield, tough to bring down, clutch playmaker

Day 2–3 value with high ceiling 👀

[Against the Grain @ATG_Bets]

@M0neyL0unge It’s OV baby.

Some more play action. More Tight end involvement. Some George Kittle type shiiii

@johnsummit If your girl is in this pic, she’s not your girl anymore
