Fantasy football is FAR more skill than luck.

"Exposure" is bullshit.

[The Vigilant Fox 🦊 @VigilantFox]

Tom Brady reveals the overlooked reason practice squad players never succeed in the NFL

It’s not a lack of talent.

Brady watched it happen for 20 years. The pattern was undeniable.

As soon as a practice squad player got promoted and had to perform under real pressure, they crumbled. It took years for Brady to understand why.

“There’s 53 guys on the active roster and there’s now 15 guys on the practice squad. So there’s 68 players. But those practice squad players are important because if anybody on the active roster gets hurt, they can get elevated to the squad.”

“These scout team receivers would come in and practice with the scout team and they do really well. And I’d be watching. I’m like, ‘Man, we got to get that guy. Let’s get him up on offense. He’s making a lot of plays.’”

“Then all of a sudden, we’re like, ‘Hey man, you’re doing really well. You got to come over here and deal with the pressure of succeeding now that you have expectation.’”

“And these guys are like, they weren’t prepared for it. So whatever we saw in practice against where there was not a lot of pressure, now when they’re put in a situation where there’s an expectation for performance, they’ve never had to personally deal with that and then they fail.”

“And then what I realized was a lot of guys on those practice squads, they don’t want to be elevated to the roster.”

“They’re very happy living this life where they could tell their family and friends, which I have no problem with that. But the reality is a lot of guys don’t want the pressure of dealing with top.”

Twenty years in the league and seven Super Bowl rings later, Brady learned that talent wasn’t the hardest thing to find.

It was people who actually wanted the pressure that comes with being great.

DO NOT FORGET ‼️

Every single WR to declare-early & get drafted Top-10 in the past decade posted 850+ receiving yards as a rookie (except Travis Hunter).

6/9 (66.7%) posted 1,000+ yards as a rookie.

[Ethan Kreager @EthanKreagerFF]

4. Jonah Coleman, DEN

Crowded backfield in DEN, but Coleman is my favorite at cost.

- Elite through contact (4.12 YACo/att)
- Forces missed tackles (0.32 MTF/att)
- Strong receiving skills (over 800 career receiving yds)

Dobbins and Harvey are good; Coleman has the potential to be great.

[Ethan Kreager @EthanKreagerFF]

3. Bhayshul Tuten, JAX

Should be Jacksonville's 1A when the season starts.

- Elite prospect analytics (4.1 YAC/att and 0.35 MTF/att)
- 7 TDs on only 93 touches as a rookie
- Chris Rodriguez only had 3 receptions in 2025

Similar to White: if Jacksonville has a bell cow my money is on Tuten.

[Ethan Kreager @EthanKreagerFF]

2. Rachaad White, WAS

The back with the most diverse skillset in Washington.

- Has a PPR RB4 finish already from 2023
- Forced a missed tackle on 19% of 2025 carries
- JCM and Kaytron Allen lack receiving upside

If anyone takes over that backfield, it's him. Take him in round 10.

[Ethan Kreager @EthanKreagerFF]

The explosive but oft-injured RB finally has a big opportunity.

- Over 1,100 yards at Texas & strong receiving production
- Still only 22 years old: same age as Jadarian Price
- 0 of Chuba Hubbard's 134 carries in 2025 went for 15+ yards

Chuba struggled in 2025; Brooks could get lots of work this year.

[Ethan Kreager @EthanKreagerFF]

Every season, RBs drafted late for fantasy football in ambiguous backfields help people WIN leagues.

- 2025: Javonte Williams
- 2024: Chase Brown

Here are my favorite late-round RB breakout candidates for 2026👇

1. Jonathon Brooks, CAR

One thing I can promise you

Jadarian Price blows Zach Charbonnet out of the water

Round 1 draft capital

Super Bowl caliber team + offense

Not an elite-tier prospect, but I had a solid Day 2 grade on him — brings that same explosive, slashing run style you see from guys like Travis Etienne, Kenneth Walker III, and James Cook and the question is can he get to that level or is he more of an RJ Harvey, Tevin Coleman, Raheem Mostert style?

[Fantasy Douche @fantasydouche_]

And that's the intriguing part of Eli... If things break right, he may be playing RB and have WR eligibility.

[Fusue @DevyEusuf]

Eli Heidenreich is white Curtis Samuel or white Tony Pollard, depending on position.

[Steven ORourke @callmesteveo7]

Since 2021, there have been just 5 times that a player eclipsed 1,000 yards receiving on a sub 18% target share, Jameson Williams has 2 out of those 5.

2021 - Mike Evans (16.0%)
2022 - Tee Higgins (16.7%)
2023 - None
2024 - Jameson Williams (17.6%)
2025 - Jameson Williams (17.0%) & Alec Pierce (17.4%)

If your child plays sports and wears shoes constantly from age 5, you may be setting them up for injuries they won't see coming until much later.

Chong Xie has produced two world champions and trains elite UFC fighters.

He says the reason Brazilians dominate soccer and Western athletes keep tearing ACLs comes down to one tissue:

Fascia.

Modern shoes silence the 200,000 nerve endings on the bottom of your foot.

The fascia stops developing properly when that input is missing.

Your muscles then start working in isolation, which is when injuries become unavoidable.

Xie says the foot is the body's first sensory organ from the ground. Children who develop barefoot grow stronger fascial connections than children who don't.

If your child plays sports, let them train barefoot regularly.

The foundation they build now is the body they'll inherit later.

[Kristie Leong M.D. @DrKristieLeong]

The “Pranayama Effect” is mindblowing.

When experienced breathworkers slow their nasal breathing to just 2.5 breaths per minute, they enter non-ordinary states of consciousness
with measurable increases in theta-high beta brain connectivity.

Theta waves (4–8 Hz) are the brain’s “twilight” state, that dreamy, relaxed zone between wakefulness and deep sleep.

They’re most prominent during light meditation, hypnosis, creative flow, and early stages of sleep.

Mouth breathing at the exact same slow rate? Doesn’t happen.

It’s not just the slowness. It’s the nasal pathway lighting up the brain.

Ancient yogis figured this out centuries ago. Modern neuroscience is finally catching up.

Ever tried slow nasal breathing? What did you notice?"

Game theory proves that the person willing to walk away from the deal holds power in every negotiation they'll ever enter. And that's not a basic "mindset tip." It's a very real phenomenon. Your outside options determine your leverage and your position. The brain's loss aversion system means that the person who can't walk away will constantly accept subpar outcomes below their genuine worth. To avoid this cruel fate, always build alternatives before you need them. Nothing is worse than the need to scramble for hope in a crisis. Prepare accordingly.

Dana White on why he doesn’t believe in introspection:

“If you just sit around and talk about your fucking problems all the time it actually makes it worse.

I never take in any negativity.

I literally block it out.

I block all the noise out.

Like these guys who report on what we're doing that have no clue on what we're doing?

Why would I want to hear anything they have to say?

They're zeroes.

They've literally never done anything in their life, especially in this business.

Why would I listen to anything that they have to say?”

You dont want a yacht. You dont want a big house. You dont want a super car, a $40,000 watch, or shoes you worry about getting dirty. You want free will.

You want to wake up naturally on a Tuesday and you want to go to bed when you’re done having fun. You want to say yes to everything that excites you without having to request time off. You want to go to the the gym at noon, in absolutely no hurry. You want to spend 18 hours a day doing what you love. You want to be exactly where you desire being, always. You want to spend as much time with the people you care about as possible.

You’re saying you wanna be rich? In what?

4.33 is this threshold to be good. That's what Brian Thomas, DK Metcalf, Brandin Cooks, and Mike Wallace ran.
