Last year was just the beginning for us. It’s a hobby & something I love to do, but I want to take it to the next level in the coming years.
That being said, in YEAR 1 we had a few consistent followers WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS off my advice. Follow me to the top 🔮🧠

There’s a few guys who may historically feel like a reach in your 2nd rounds of dynasty drafts, who will hit. Just have to know who to select, because there are more landmines for this reason as well. But the gems are there. Will post a list in a day or 2 of them
With a weaker overall draft class overall, not a lot of consensus, contracts for new “premium” positions like Y-TE, those positions took over as the new “top 50 WR pick” in a lot of ways. That’s why the draft, this one especially, felt like a ton of reaches on day 2, but it wasnt
This draft solidified exactly what we’ve been seeing signs of the last season and a half, as a new, now, league-wide era has emerged: 12 and 13 personnel, to counter what defenses have done with the 2-high shell
Takeaway from this: go and get your guys in rookie drafts. Draft capital will not mean as much with this new trend. I firmly believe we will see a few more 3rd-7th round players emerge as actual fantasy/dynasty options than past years for this reason. Esp some of these WRs

I hope there’s others fading Omarion Hampton at ADP. Dynasty players, easy flip to Kenneth Walker +, Chase Brown +, Quinshon +. Gamble (risk) plays for Tuten++ or Skattebo++
Also think Keaton Mitchell is going to be a viable FLEX option this year
@ScottBarrettDFB@DBro_FFB@FantasyPtsData@BGWhitefield Love both your work so much, just cool thinking about the discourse from this summer and the thoughts/processes I heard from both of you on him, and what we can learn from it
@ScottBarrettDFB@DBro_FFB@FantasyPtsData Hey Scott, genuinely curious: besides the “Luther Burden in the slot in a Ben Johnson offense” thoughts from this offseason you were all in on, what is it about Burden that stood out to you so much, when an amazing evaluator like @BGWhitefield was so off him as a prospect?
Bhayshul Tuten….This is your “grab him now for free or forever regret” league winner of 2026. The injuries, the misuse by nfl coaches, the firings and terrible QB play… something has just led us all the way back here. Even if you don’t believe, or start him yet, add him & wait
Speaking in terms of Dynasty Fantasy, watch, we will end up with some absolute dynasty cornerstones in the 2026 class, when so many people have been fading them for the 2027 Rookie picks. Every year we think we know everything. Every year, we are wrong in so many ways..
LaNorris, Nuss, Allar, Mateer, Mendoza, Altmyer, Jordyn Tyson, Jeremiyah Love, Nick Singleton, Denzel Boston, Carnell Tate, Lemon, still got Klubs, Nico? Sooo many QBs. There will be gems that come out this year…
I love seeing the backfire in the modern NIL landscape. You don’t know what you got until it’s gone in College Football. Should be a lesson learned for money demanders like Nico. Tennessee could’ve shoved Iamaleava into a 1st round pick with 8-4 records 2 years in a row
Fields is a massive buy low, if you can get him low. Tomlin has soft spot for dudes like this. Love reclamation. Lets talent be their own talent. 18 months from now, Pitt will have a top 3 Run game, top 5 OL & top 10 QB in fantasy in Justin Fields leading the way. Watch.
Fantasy analysts will tell you the Steelers winners of the 2024 Draft are their RBs (which is not incorrect) when I believe at least half of the plan to assemble this type of OL class is to make it impossible, in time, for Justin Fields to fail (sack rate, his #1 inadequacy)
Try trading
1.01 for Joe Burrow or ARich
1.02 for Garrett Wilson or Amon
1.03 for Olave
1.04 for Fields
1.05 for Puka
1.06 for Jordan Love
Etc
Just examples, but sometimes the “shiny new toy” can get you true cornerstone pieces with their allure
And in the end, we play to WIN.
Have been in a shell of work and life lately, but so stoked I can help all my guys behind the scenes.
But to my dynasty players, I am going to make an incredibly bold statement for y’all:
The ‘24 class is perhaps the best class we’ve ever seen, especially when considering 1sts
There is ALWAYS risk in actually using those picks, any draft picks for that matter. For every AJ Brown there’s a N’Keal Harry. For Every CJ Stroud there��s a Trey Lance. And so on.
Sometimes the best move after hoarding them, is trading them for young, already defined production
