Today’s the day! Anatomy of a League Winner is here!

Last year, 18 players mattered in fantasy football.

I studied the past nine seasons to develop an optimal position-by-position draft strategy, and identify the 18 players I think will ascend THIS year.

@theo Feels like they were forced to release 5 before they wanted to. Probably will be amazing when we get to 5.2, maybe 5.3

hitting an AI outage when your cooking and your brain has already been fried for hours is like getting thrown in rehab in the middle of a bender... you know it's good to stop, but c'mon man just one more /goal

As the rate of change in a system increases, there is a point beyond which it is more valuable to adjust wisely than to start correctly. All things are impermanent and interconnected. When something in a system changes, all things in the system change somehow

This combined with Purdy talking up Stribling. The rookie has got to move up draft boards.

Sneaky Diggs spot?

For a player who needs to be/stay healthy, I don’t LOVE that Ricky Pearsall has a brace on his right knee

This is the same right knee (PCL Sprain) that nagged him in 2025

[TheFFcoder (Jay) @FFcoder]

@LombardiHimself You cover the 49ers and you didn't know there was "concern is with the same PCL that he injured in Week 4 of 2025" ?

[David Lombardi @LombardiHimself]

The Ricky Pearsall concern is with the same PCL that he injured in Week 4 of 2025. He’s said that it never fully healed over the course of last season, which is why he wasn’t at 100% even when he did return. The 49ers would obviously like to extinguish these lingering effects

Inductive bias in ML are assumptions baked into models about the structure of the problem. Ignoring them allows higher ceilings to be found if data rich, but worse results when data poor. Deep data research can yield novel discoveries, shallow dives are worse than prior bias

The best injury expert in the game @jmthrivept tackles the biggest injury questions of the offseason

This was the most important fantasy article I've read all summer. Had a profound impact on my rankings

on Underdog
Nico Collins WR9 ADP 22.4
Jayden Higgins WR53 ADP 124.2

This feels like one of those situations where the market is far too confident is how things are going to play out. I don't at all feel like I have a 100+ pick gap in my confidence on this

[TheFFcoder (Jay) @FFcoder]

@jmthrivept @FantasyPts Welcome to the team @jmthrivept !

[Scott Barrett @ScottBarrettDFB]

I’ve always said @jmthrivept was the best injury expert in the game

Very happy to announce we’ve added him to the @FantasyPts team

Jeff’s debut article drops tomorrow. It’s a banger! He answers the top-10 most important/pressing injury Qs I had while working through my rankings

[TheFFcoder (Jay) @FFcoder]

@ElNostraThomas More us trying to squeeze more meaning from data where there really isn't any more there. Better to dive harder into the data that has proven to have signal, or a new data metric, or a new way to view proven data, than to waste time trying to find gold in your backyard again

[TheFFcoder (Jay) @FFcoder]

With ML training, the optimal amount of resources put towards a model slides with the quality of the data. It waste resources to train more on data there isn't anything more to learn from. Instead of trying to squeeze more from bad data, give more time to learn more from the good
