Been taking a ton of Ray Davis at the end of drafts. Essentially the same outlook as last season and he's 50 spots cheaper while James Cook is 25 spots more expensive.
One of the higher-upside handcuffs and now provides even more leverage if the starter goes down.
It's not a perfect or even great way to do this, but..
If we apply Puka Nacua's route tree to Michael Wilson's TPRR, the TPRR slightly increases:
20.0% to 20.4% (MHJ's decreased below)
Average Sep Score percentile also increases:
90.8%ile to 92.7%ile

Seems clear that the NFL liked De'Zhaun Stribling way more than prospect bros, fans, media. Interested in his upcoming camp battle vs. Christian Kirk.
From ESPN's article on what execs thought were best offseason moves:
Dual-threat QBs have always been a cheat code in fantasy football.
But their powers are at an all-time high. We have more high-quality rushing QBs in the NFL, and passing yards are down.
The correlation with next-season fantasy points, broken down by QB passing and rushing across time frames, is pretty telling.
Timeframes: 2011-2015 --> 2016-2020 --> 2021-2025
Fantasy Points Per Game: 0.55 --> 0.36 --> 0.62
Rushing PPG: 0.17 --> 0.28 --> 0.52
Passing PPG: 0.47 --> 0.19 --> 0.35
I don't have easily accessible rushing stats for 2006-2010. But I do have passing, which was at 0.50.
Jaxson Dart, Kyler Murray, and Malik Willis are the three cheapest dual-threat options in 2026 fantasy drafts.
They probably won't all hit, but are reasonably priced, and Dart/Murray have logical paths to improved passing production in 2026.
How much does game script affect RBs?
It was the difference between Jonathon Taylor putting up playoff Josh Allen numbers in wins and Tony Pollard production levels in losses 👑 ➡️ 💩
Commanders RB updates:
Jacory Croskey-Merritt missed part of OTAs with a “minor hammy issue” - Commanders being careful
RB Coach Anthony Lynn compared Kaytron Allen to Chris Rodriguez - want him to be CRod replacement - best practices will be in pads

Many Jaguars nuggets (long):
Up 12/13 personnel to 15th in lg vs 20th in 2025 - still primarily 11
2WR sets (opinion) = Jakobi Meyers (noted good blocker) and Brian Thomas or Parker Washington (interchangeable skills)
Bhayshul Tuten passes eye test
Coen is transparent and noted Tuten made big jump this offseason
Koziol can win the TE2 if he can stay on the field for run blocking
Strange & PW likely get extensions
PW trade unlikely - “looks too valuable”
On Kenneth Gainwell & Bucky Irving:
Bucs were excited to get Bucky back at practice
Equally excited to have Gainwell who looked good
Reinforces 1A/1B and mentions it was clear 1/2 with Rachaad White - thinks it will actually be 1A/1B with Gainwell
I mean every other OTA it is:
"Parker Washington breakout season"
"BTJ bounce-back breakout season"
"Brenton Strange is the most valuable TLaw Target"
"Bhayshul Tuten breakout season"
"Travis Hunter breakout season"
😂😂
Lots of chatter about Denver playing faster with Sean Payton giving Davis Webb play calling.
They were already speeding up dramatically.
Bo Nix thrived with tempo. It sparked the offense repeatedly down the stretch.
More speed puts them at the very top with Cowboys and Saints.
In terms of playcalling cheat codes:
During Snap Motion > Pre-Snap Motion > No Motion
Last year, skill players saw a 17% YPRR increase on dropbacks with during-snap motion. Or a 43% FP/RR increase!

Michael Wilson and Parker Washington were extraordinary over the second half of 2025 as Year 3 players.
They averaged 19.7 and 14.6 PPG, respectively, from Week 10 through the NFL Playoffs.
However, neither had a meaningful fantasy season before (at least 10 PPG -- aka low-end WR4 territory).
That got me wondering: How often have we seen non-Round 1 or Round 2 NFL Draft picks average 14+ PPG in the second half of their Year 3 to 5 season without a prior 10 PPG fantasy season?
And more importantly, how did they do in the following two seasons?
Hunter Renfrow (2021): 16.8 PPG --> 8.1, 3.0
Rishard Matthews (2015): 15.2 PPG --> 13.3, 11.2
Marquise Goodwin (2017): 14.9 PPG --> 7.9, 4.8
Markus Wheaton (2015): 14.8 PPG --> 5.0, 0.7
Russell Gage (2020): 14.6 PPG --> 11.9, 9.5
Jauan Jennings (2024): 14.1 PPG --> 11.6
For the record, I am not pronouncing this as some in-depth study that 100% defines how we should view Wilson and Washington. However, we shouldn't dismiss this sort of data either, imo. Both carry significant bust potential.
Jahan Dotson is the Falcons WR2 (for now):
"His speed will be an important element for Atlanta’s offense down the field, and he will occupy the No. 2 receiver role opposite Drake London."
Jordan Mailata on Kellen Moore: He'll "make a great head coach one day", teaching ability is like Jeff Stoutland's.
On adjusting to Kevin Patullo's offense: "There's carryover, but it's no surprise to us in the OL room because of the way [Stoutland] coaches."
On Sean Mannion:
First snap of offense for the Packers included Christian Watson and Matthew Golden at WR in 2WR set:
“The first snap of the day on offense: QB Jordan Love, RB Josh Jacobs, TEs Josh Whyle and Messiah Swinson, WRs Christian Watson and Matthew Golden”
Which WR stats in the @FantasyPtsData Suite are most predictive of next year's FPG?
- Past production and volume (receiving yards, FPG, XFP/G) are king
- First-read target share performs better than regular target share!
- 1D/RR performs better than YPRR and TPRR!
- Horizontally-breaking routes (the total number) are slightly more predictive than routes in general!
A little out of my depth on this one, if I’m being completely honest.
We know a pulmonary embolism can be life threatening, and yes it can take a long time to recover to full (6+ months).
Chris Olave is still recovering. Hard to know his current conditioning level for 2026.
