@charliebilello The cheapest secondary market Super Bowl ticket from earlier in the year ran you $3.5-5k.

Average resale value of tickets were $7.5-8k.

The NBA is having its moment.

It also helps that new blood has risen to the top — that may be the biggest value driver of them all.

@jasrifootball Based on AAV, Baker is the 16th highest paid QB in the league.

This list outlines the top-20. Note:

- 18 QB make $20M+
- 16 QBs make $30M+
- 14 QBs make $40M+
- 11 QBs make $50M+
- 1 QB makes $60M+

@NFL_DovKleiman The last time a BUF receiver hauled in 10+ TDs was in 2022 when S. Diggs caught 11.

In fact, Diggs is the only receiver to catch double-digit TDs from J. Allen in his career having done it twice.

Moore has never caught more than 8 TDs in a season.

@PFSN365 Who’s throwing the football?

[Derrick Ernst @InAllErnst]

@AdamSchefter Some things just don’t age well. This is one of those things.

Do I get credit for admitting it?

[Derrick Ernst @InAllErnst]

@AdamSchefter There’s no way we’ve seen the last of Wilson on a football field. I wouldn’t be surprised if he was on an NFL roster as early as next season.

[Derrick Ernst @InAllErnst]

@NFL @49ers SF will have accumulated more air miles through week TWO than:

- ARI
- CIN
- MIN
- PIT
- NYJ
- GB
- TB
- CHI
- CLE
- CAR

…will have flown the ENTIRE season!

[Derrick Ernst @InAllErnst]

@NFLonCBS That was the most yards Cam Newton ever threw in a season.

It’s also the most yards so far into their career that CJ Stroud and Mac Jones have ever thrown for.

Oh, and by the way, Andrew Luck is only 36 yrs old.

[Derrick Ernst @InAllErnst]

@AdamSchefter Best fantasy finish of their career (half pt PPR):

- JSN: WR2 (2025)
- Chase: WR1 (2024)
- London: WR6 (2024)
- JJ: WR1 (2022)
- Lamb: WR1 (2023)

Are sports fans becoming desensitized to blockbuster trades?

They’re no longer few and far between.

Here are the biggest in recent memory from each sports league:

🏈 Myles Garrett traded from CLE to LAR
🏀 Luka Doncic traded from DAL to LAL
⚾️ Juan Soto traded from SD to NYY
🏒 Quinn Hughes traded from VAN to MIN

Arguably all future HOF.

While they all might not be to the liking of fan bases, they do all carry a level of intrigue that keeps them wanting to come back for more.

[Derrick Ernst @InAllErnst]

@AdamSchefter The winners of today:

- Joe Burrow
- Lamar Jackson

Of Myles Garrett’s 125.5 career sacks he has sacked Burrow the most (13) and Jackson second most (12).

If either of them want to see Garrett this season, it’ll need to come in the Super Bowl.

[Derrick Ernst @InAllErnst]

@PFSN365 7 out of 10 are NFC.

3 of 4 NFC West teams represented.

3 of 4 NFC North teams represented.

Is this the most lopsided the league has been in recent memory?

[Derrick Ernst @InAllErnst]

Perhaps this is the recipe.

Rams playoff appearances since ‘16:

‘16: None
‘17: Lost Wildcard Rd
‘18: Lost Super Bowl
‘19: None
‘20: Lost Divisional Rd
‘21: Won Super Bowl
‘22: None
‘23: Lost Wildcard Rd
‘24: Lost Divisional Rd
‘25: Lost Conference Champ

That’s 7 playoff appearances in 10 seasons (70%).

That’s 10 playoff wins in 16 games (.625).

That’s a winning organization.

[Derrick Ernst @InAllErnst]

@SleeperBengals The most pertinent stat that should be projected is how many games he’ll start.

Burrow has started all 17 games just once in his career (‘24).

That year he had: 652 att, 4918 pass yds, and 43 pass TDs.

[Derrick Ernst @InAllErnst]

@BackroomsMov @A24 Viral marketing is the best kind of marketing.

This reminds me the campaign for Smile when they got people at sporting events to sit idle, stare into the void, and have a smile never leave their face.

Gets you to remember, which is what counts.

[Derrick Ernst @InAllErnst]

@SleeperNFL Career rushing statistics

- Allen: 4,721 yds, 79 TDs
- Lamar: 6,522 yds, 35 TDs

While the diff in yds equates to 180 fantasy points favoring Lamar, the TD gap is 264 fantasy points giving Allen the edge.

[Derrick Ernst @InAllErnst]

@SleeperNFL The safe bet is Allen.

In his last 7 seasons he has finished as QB1 in 4 of them.

That’s a hit rate of 57%!

He’s also a pseudo-RB which makes him all more valuable.

[Derrick Ernst @InAllErnst]

@NFLonCBS One of the most common misconceptions about fantasy football is that INT’s matter.

In short, they don’t.

In ‘19, J. Winston finished as QB3, the best fantasy performance of his career.

For QBs, pass attempts is the stat that matters most.

Winston had 626 that year.

[Derrick Ernst @InAllErnst]

@lexboray @ProFootballTalk Bingo — PIT has been a team for the past couple seasons I’ve recommended my subscribers draft BOTH their RB1 and RB2.

Last season:

- J. Warren finished RB17
- K. Gainwell finished RB20

Quite the stack that could’ve been drafted for dirt cheap!
