[Bobby Stanley Jr. @PropHolliday]

I'm rolling with Jared Goff for MVP at (+3500) as my darkhorse this NFL season.

-Cupcake schedule for DET✔️
-No outdoor games for Goff until W17✔️
-30+ TD / 4500+ Pass Yards L3 Seasons✔️

It's now or never for Goff and this price is WRONG.

🤯 Whoever set this line is getting fired.

Christian Watson O750.5 Receiving Yards (-114)
Christian Watson 1000+ Receiving Yards (+240)

Watson quietly had a very good season last year, ranked top-10 across the league in three metrics:

📈 4th in yards per route (2.67)
📈 5th in average depth of target (18.0)
📈 8th in yards per catch (17.5)

That's in only 10 games played, whilst coming back from a torn ACL…

He also led the Packers receiver room in all these metrics..

👑 Air Yard Share (36%)
👑 Targets per game (5.5)
👑 Target Share (18%)
👑 Targets per Route (24%)
👑 Receiving Yards per game (61.1)
👑 Deep Targets per game (1.9)

That’s a clear WR1…

Now his target competition just left town!

Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks have both left Green Bay. That leaves 131 targets and 85 receptions from last season now up for grabs… and Watson should be the main beneficiary.

He also just got paid!

💵 He signed a 4-year, $110 million extension. That's the Packers telling you who their WR1 really is. Many have said that’s an overpay but the numbers don’t lie…

There’s also this stat…

Only 5 WRs had greater than 2.6 yards per route run against both man and zone in 2025:

Puka Nacua
Jaxon Smith-Njigba
Amon-Ra St. Brown
Zay Flowers

And…

Christian Watson 👀

Watson was on pace for 1039 receiving yards last season and his situation has improved dramatically.

Don’t overthink it. This might be the most mispriced future on the board…

❤️ Tap like if you’re tailing!

I'm probably far from the only person that's shuffled through the NFL player milestone markets over the last few weeks but can now definitely say that I'm moving onto sharing the major markets and awards after these last four to complete the set:

1. Tyler Shough 4000+ passing yards (+290)

2. Rome Odunze 8+ receiving touchdowns (+300)

3. Brock Bowers 1250+ receiving yards (+440)

4. Chase Brown 1000+ rushing yards (+300)

Shough stepped into the New Orleans Saints starting QB vacuum that existed over the past couple of years and provided hopes that the position has been solved going forward via 2284 passing yards, 10 TD and 6 INT in 11 GP. More importantly here, he ranked 10th in intended air yards/pass attempt (8.3), 13th on on target % (76.5%) and 13th in YPA AVG (7.3) and now gets the likes of Jordyn Tyson, Noah Font, Travis Etienne Jr. injected into an already solid skill position group and NFL's third easiest schedule to rack up the yards in 2026.

Odunze had foot issues which shortened his 2025 but nonetheless finished with a solid 44/661/6 in 12 GP. We saw what was possible with a healthy version of him in the first four weeks of 2025 via 8.75 targets/game and 5 TDs and while competition does exist for targets with Luther Burden and Colston Loveland, a 26th ranked strength of schedule along with a below average defense via 30th in front seven and 17th in secondary rank per Sharp should have them in plenty of passing scripts in 2026 which should benefit all enough for him to get plenty of looks.

Bowers followed up a terrific rookie season (112/1194/5 on 153 targets in 17 GP) with a so-so sophomore season (64/680/7 in 12 GP) where he wasn't totally healthy. He remains the only reliable pass catching option on the Raiders offense after ranking 13th in yards per route run which should funnel targets his way in a league leading manner to where this level of yardage despite Kirk Cousins being behind center should have him threatening this mark.

Brown has suffered from a lack of consistent or good offensive line play in front of him in his two full seasons as starting RB for the Cincinnati Bengals yet one that quietly ranked 10th in run block win rate in 2025 (72%). Despite this, he nearly crossed this mark in 2024 (229/990/7 on 4.3 YPA) and did in 2025 (232/1019/6 on 4.4 YPC) and now gets the added benefit of the NFL's second easiest strength of schedule which along with a healthy Joe Burrow should have the Bengals spending more time salting away game clock and finding success on offense which should lead to another good season for Brown.

Michael Phelps says he hated swimming and was contractually obligated to compete in the 2012 Olympics, yet he still won 4 gold medals

“I hated swimming then. I hated it. I didn’t want to do it. I did it because I had to. I was contractually obligated. If I didn’t compete, I lose all my sponsors. So I had to swim.”

“I did the best I could with not doing much work. I literally trained less than 2 of that 4 years from 2008 to 2012.”

Michael Phelps says he swam an entire Olympic final completely blind and still broke the world record

Phelps: “I started counting my strokes as soon as I dove in, because I realized they weren’t going to stop leaking, and also I was unable to take my goggles off… 16, second wall 17, third wall 18, fourth wall is 19 or 20.”

“But I ended up winning a gold medal, breaking a world record, but I’m honestly pissed.”

Raj: “Why would you be pissed? When you broke a world record you won the gold.”

Phelps: “I wanted to go faster. I should’ve gone faster. That’s me, I didn’t hit the goal that I wanted.”

🏈 10 training camp updates you need to know…

Bookmark this for your fantasy drafts (and bets).

1️⃣ James Cook has been getting more targets in the passing game. He already led the NFL in rushing yards last season (1,621).

2️⃣ Deshaun Watson has thrown 6 interceptions and 3 touchdowns through the first week of training camp. Shedeur Sanders has thrown 1 interception and 4 touchdowns.

3️⃣ WR Rashid Shaheed is establishing himself as the number 2 option in Seattle. His receiving line for the season is only 475.5 yards… He had 687 last year and now the role is better? Smash.

4️⃣ Parker Washington is looking like the most dangerous receiver in Jacksonville. His season receiving line now reflects that, moving above both Brian Thomas Jr and Jakobi Meyers.

5️⃣ Chiefs rookie WR Cyrus Allen is turning heads. He’s been a favorite target for Patrick Mahomes. He’s going to get lots of opportunities with Rashee Rice not looking 100% and a lack of depth in the rest of the room.

6️⃣ The injury curse lives on at the Niners. Ricky Pearsall is out for the season but they did just sign Deebo Samuel. They said they’ll use him as a receiver and out of the backfield. Sneaky sleeper option.

7️⃣ Expect the Eagles to be a run-heavy offense again. Jalen Hurts is yet to throw a TD at training camp, but also hasn’t thrown an interception. His ceiling is limited for fantasy.

8️⃣ Expect Jonathon Brooks to be RB1 in Carolina eventually. He missed most of his first two NFL seasons but now says he is ‘back to 100%.’ Take him over Chuba Hubbard.

9️⃣ Bhayshul Tuten will lead the Jags’ backfield with Travis Etienne moving on. He was inefficient last season, but HC Liam Coen says he will have a ‘big year.’

🔟 We could see a close to 50-50 split between Kyren Williams and Blake Corum. Sean McVay says Corum will be a ‘big factor’. It’s a great offense but this limits both their upside.

Baby becomes the first UK baby to have surgery performed on him while in his mother's womb to repair gastroschisis.

Maisie Savage was 26 weeks pregnant with baby Theo when doctors performed the surgery.

Gastroschisis is a birth defect where the belly button does not develop properly, and the baby's intestines grow outside of the body.

The operation happened at Texas Children’s Hospital.

Doctors partially exposed Theo's mom's womb before performing keyhole surgery, where they gently put his intestines back in his body.

Theo was carried to term and was born healthy with no scars.

Theo's mom, Maisie, was left with a scar about two times the size of a C-section.

Ten million people have watched an MIT professor accidentally destroy the executive coaching industry.

He filmed the lecture once in January 2018 and died eighteen months later.

Executive coaches charge fifteen thousand dollars a session to teach a third of what he covered in one hour for free.

His name was Patrick Winston. He ran the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory from 1972 to 1997 and wrote the AI textbook every computer science major in the world read for thirty years.

Every January for four decades, he gave a lecture called "How to Speak."

His entire framework fits on a napkin.

Do not read. Be in the image. Keep images simple. Eliminate clutter. Start with an empathetic connection. End with a punch line the audience can repeat over dinner. Never open with a joke. Never end with "thank you."

That last rule alone has probably cost the executive coaching industry a hundred million dollars.

"Your success in life will be determined largely by your ability to speak, your ability to write, and the quality of your ideas. In that order."

That is the actual opening line of the lecture. Winston believed it strongly enough to spend fifty years teaching computer scientists how to talk.

Founders spend $80,000 on an MBA and then hire a communications coach to teach them the same material Winston filmed once for free. Engineers write brilliant code and lose promotions to teammates who watched this lecture on the train.

The lecture is free on MIT OpenCourseWare. The textbook is free on his page.

Winston died in 2019. Almost none of the ten million viewers have actually implemented the four rules on the napkin.

The napkin is free. The willingness to actually use it in your next meeting is the entire edge.

Holly Madison opening up about what life was actually like with Hugh Hefner is so eye opening. Describing their routine as a "weird scene" where everyone just tried to "get it done as fast as possible," she revealed that once The Girls Next Door became a hit, those mandatory nights completely stopped. She explained that Hefner was so "high off the show" and got such an "ego boost" from the newfound attention that he no longer felt the need to have "compulsive sex nights to make myself feel wanted and relevant." It’s wild hearing her recall how relieved all the women were when filming took over, instantly realizing, "okay, we’re not going out anymore, so nobody’s gonna initiate."

Pete Carroll explains how he responded in real time to the goal-line interception that ended the Seahawks’ Super Bowl

“I asked them, 'how many guys think it's the greatest thing in the world to win the superbowl? Raise your hand.' A bunch of them raised their hand. Then I asked, 'how many think it's the greatest thing to come back and win it again?' They didn't know what to do with that..”

“Show that you can do it again. Show that you’re real. Show that no matter what happens, you can still be you to the freaking moment.”

“You guys were so mad at me. So pissed. Hurt. But that play just happened. It wasn’t by design. There was no foreshadowing. No intent. No agenda. That play just happened.”

“We had one timeout. So as soon as we got to the goal line I'm saying, one of these plays, we’re going to have to throw it to get all four plays. I'm always trying to make sure we get all four shots.”

“We run the first play, the Patriots were late and sent in the goal line team, we had already sent in '11', so we we're in '11' versus their goal line team. So that went through the play callers thought process. That's what led to throwing it on that down. If we gotta throw one of these downs, so we get all our chances...”

“We had practiced it a million times. I was rock solid on the philosophy of it. It wasn’t by design. There was no agenda. It was just the way we had prepared. It was the worst play that could ever happen. It turned all of that so dark, so instantly.”

“I thought, ‘I’ve got to take this.’ This is one of those moments that you prepare for. You’ve got to be the epitome of poise. Handle it. Deal with it. Own it.”

“There’s nothing you can say that’s going to put it any other place. It was as catastrophic as any moment could be.”
