Contested Catch

NFL & Fantasy Football Analysis. Opinions are my own.

[Contested Catch @ContestedCatch]

I've had an idea for a #FantasyFootball season-long format for a long time. Ready to share it.

I call it "Flexball Fantasy" or FBF.

It's a combination of the core formats of Fantasy Football, & I think it'd be a blast to play. 🧵

@jessegenet @openclaw Hi Jesse - What model(s) would you recommend for a Mac Mini with 24/32gb of memory?
Also, does storage generally come into play at all? If so, is 512gb sufficient?

I’m looking to start but concerned about under/overdoing the hardware.

@adamlevitan Well said. Mediocrity is death in the NFL!

[Adam Levitan @adamlevitan]

This should be a no-brainer for any GM working with an owner who actually wants to win a Super Bowl. And is willing to eat some really bad years to optimize for that goal.

Don't try to middle a rebuild. Understand Jaylen Waddle will be in decline by the time you're competitive. Get valuable assets now, stomach the pain of wining 3-5 games, so hopefully you can win 13-15 later.

Been at ESPN a long time - this one was an all timer. Before social media, it was as viral as a story can be. I watched it on a tape in the news room. I couldn’t stop watching his teammates.

Like “Trae + AD” but also like “trade” lol

Name this duo

Love going for 2 down 1 to win it. Especially when your team has come all the way back.

If you believe in your QB, if you just scored a TD, and all you need is one 2-yard play to win it — you should go for it.

Game of the year.

In honor of that Detroit Lions GL play motioning out the QB, bringing back this package with similar design out of pistol.

Icalled it Run DeeMC in honor of Deebo + CMC.

[Contested Catch @ContestedCatch]

10 easy plays with the “Run DeeMC” Package, as I now call it.

[Contested Catch @ContestedCatch]

Josh Allen is in total command of this offense. He’s patient and constantly finding the open man with excellent accuracy.

He looks as good as ever.

FB speed option - amazing

GOAT

[Shams Charania @ShamsCharania]

Breaking: Las Vegas Aces star A'ja Wilson has won the 2025 WNBA MVP award, becoming the first player in league history to win the honor four times, sources tell ESPN.

[Ted Nguyen @FB_FilmAnalysis]

Jackson Hawes has eliminated the need for the Bills 6th OL package. Look at 85

[Contested Catch @ContestedCatch]

If you think Tyler Warren is fun now, wait until we get GL carries as wildcat.

Steichen could have a field day with TW, JT & either Jones or ARich at QB. Fuck it, throw all 4 in the backfield and let the defense pick their poison.

[Contested Catch @ContestedCatch]

A lot of talk (panic) about the 2 1st round rookie RBs, Jeanty & Hampton.

In addition to their own individual struggles, OL hasn’t been doing them many favors. I think better days are ahead for both.

Also, Jags OL so far 👀

Key offensive line stats:

[Contested Catch @ContestedCatch]

That was so dramatic & epic at the end.

A running clock for a game winning FG to cap off a 15 pt 4Q comeback, kicked by a seasoned but new Kicker - can’t make it up.

Hat tip to the Ravens, every bit of a SB contender. They will be so good this year.

Lamar or Josh for MVP again

[Contested Catch @ContestedCatch]

Can’t extrapolate everything given Henry is legit amazing, but run D obviously needs work.

[Contested Catch @ContestedCatch]

More thoughts from that crazy SNF game:

-Keon has ARRIVED. What a performance. Really looked like an alpha. Such a huge development.
-Josh is Superman.
-Lamar is absolutely incredible. He looked to be banged up at the end - something to watch.

[Contested Catch @ContestedCatch]

Joshua Palmer vet presence is going to be huge. He’s looking like a strong fit for Josh already.

Secondary remains the biggest concern for BUF. Scared of what this team looks like if Benford goes down at all.
