That ain't good. If they thought he had a shot in hell at getting back before 4 weeks, given their RB situation, they'd have burnt the roster spot on him. I'm guessing we aren't seeing mixon for a lot longer than 4 weeks.

No doubt. Same thought crossed my mind after I got over the initial shock and awe from the misconception that Budda Baker was somehow McClaurin's agent.

Fftoday #16 or whatever it is. Again... To my point, you kind of have to already know where he should be ranked to even know what a good ranking is. Skill. I promise you that if even took 90% of the fantasy players here, they would have no clue because the data isn't all packaged and digestible

US is the greatest country in the world, but I'd take that offer. Japan, Thailand, Costa Rico, Croatia... I'd love to live in one of those places assuming I would be allowed to stay and I had a way to maintain a living.

You're right that Sherwood should be a top 10 linebacker. Except most places don't have him ranked that high. We're still in the dark ages of IDP.

Here is what I mean when I say there isn't a lot of IDP info out there... Nate Landman is clearly going to be the best Rams LB. He's wearing the green dot, and he's going to play 90%+ of the defensive snaps. ESPN doesn't have him ranked... But has Troy Reeder ranked. Troy Reeder might not even make the 53. https://www.espn.com/fantasy/football/story/_/page/FFPreseasonRank25IDP/2025-fantasy-football-rankings-idp-defense-defensive-line-linebacker-defensive-back Draft sharks has him 60th - behind rookie Pooh Paul Jr who is obviously not even first string. https://www.draftsharks.com/rankings/lb Dynasty nerds to their credit at least has him as LB46... way too low for 2025, but at least he's the highest ranked rams LB and they're dynasty focused so this ranking makes more sense since Landman isn't a long term starter. https://www.dynastynerds.com/idp/idp-rankings-tiers/ Thank god for FFToday with the only reasonable ranking of Landman I can even find at mid-30s. https://fftoday.com/rankings/playerproj.php?PosID=60 But then look at all the rankings... they're all over the place. Obviously ESPN is in la la land with their rankings, so maybe we throw them out, but that takes some skill too right, to know their rankings are trash? So after week 4, when Landman puts up top 20 LB numbers even though he has bad matchups week 1, 2 and 4 against offenses that won't be able to run thus limiting his tackle opps we'll be made to believe that no one could've seen this coming. To me the skill of IDP comes in when you don't have spoon fed rankings like the traditional WR, RB, QB, etc that are crowdsourced and pretty decent. I'm going to draft Landman super late. I'm going to draft undervalued Jamien Sherwood kind of late-ish and I'm going to eke out a weekly 3-4 point advantage by doing it and it sure as sh¡t ain't because some fantasy analyst told me to because they sure as sh¡t ain't on top of it.

At first I read that tweet as Budda Baker was F1's agent. I did a triple take. Like that can't be right.

I forgot to mention that there are signs Ez is a head case beyond the fact that he's been injured a lot. Being a head case has murdered a lot of careers.

You should take my drafting 501 class. If you think you can get value in specific rounds of the draft, you can potentially take risks on injured/suspended players. In general, I think players get devalued too much for missing games. You shouldn't just straight pro-rate for missed games. There is a difference between knowing a player will be out and a player underperforming. Drafting a player and he just underperforms is much worse because you're taking up a valuable starting roster stop. If you know you someone isn't playing and you have the depth to backfill him, it's not as big of a deal. It's really more the murkiness of how many games the guy will miss. Maybe that evens out the foreknowledge he isn't playing.

The problem is for every person who can actually give you tips towards enlightenment, there are thousands and thousands that'll grift you or be just plain crazy. People probably think you're one of the thousands that are crazy. And you seem to be convinced the pyramids were built by aliens so they're probably not wrong.

I think they view malik as a gadget guy in miami. This will sound crazy, but I'd be more worried about one of my off-season favs a few years ago erik ezukanma. My opinion... He's better than malik, but he doesn't have the draft pedigree so he is viewed as useless trash.

You should rank players by what you think their projected points per game to be. Then if they don't have a good handcuff that you can get, make sure you focus on bolstering your bench. If you can't backfill them for the expected time out, that's when you lower them in the rankings. For instance when Rashee Rice's suspension got moved to mid season, that might become problematic since it'll be harder to backfill during bye weeks. We know who the injury risk players are. Gotta have a plan.

Too me, this is a zig when everyone is zagging situation. If your league is taking a lot of QBs early, wait. If everyone is waiting and you can get one of the high rushing upside QBs like lamar, allen, hurts without sacrificing rb1/wr1 or high-end wr2 value I'd go for it in late 3rd or 4th. My thought process is that if folks are taking QBs, high value rbs and wrs are getting artificially pushed down. If not, there probably isn't compelling value at rb/wr anyway.

Shouldn't let biological males play girls volleyball especially in high school or before. The net is shorter and males hit much harder. You can really fūck someone up if you hit him them in the face. And players at that age won't be used to that speed and won't be used to protecting themselves.

Other countries don't just let people go there without following due process, dummy.

If you think "whites are racist" that's pretty racist.

Also, either James conner or Trey bendon are undervalued. Conner shouldn't be going in the 4th and Benson in the 12th or whatever unless you think it's going to turn into a committee. Even then Benson should then be much higher since he becomes an RB1 if conner misses time.

I'm seeing this trickle of love for Keon Coleman. I suspect that's the "somebody's got a catch passes mentality," but I'd warn you off of that. Someone had to catch passes last year and khalil shakir led the team in targets with 100. Coleman can only run straight. Running go routes might make him a fun best ball play, but not a week to week starter. Shakir is the guy you want from that offense, but if you're looking for a dark horse try my old fav josh palmer. My read is that he didn't work well with Herbert in LA because Palmer improvises on his routes so he wasn't where herbert expected him to be when he was expecting, but Josh's game jives more with improv. Palmer is the guy to take a swing on for essentially free. With that said, Palmer is not a high ceiling guy so if you're looking for a season tilting later round lottery ticket Matthew Golden is undervalued. So is Pearsall.

Liam coen I'd guess.

Fantasyfootball calculator has it attached to their adp data. https://fantasyfootballcalculator.com/adp/ppr They also have a cool little tool that'll estimate the chances of a player falling to you... https://fantasyfootballcalculator.com/scenario-calculator?format=ppr&num_teams=12&draft_pick=20

Okay first things first. This is Fantasy Football Drafting 501 with a focus on snake drafts. Drafting 502 covers auction drafts. If you hold hard and fast rules that you can’t treat as generalities and also know when to break those rules like “never draft a QB before round 10,” this isn’t the class for you. You need to go to Drafting 401. If everything you read on this board is stupid and obvious, this class isn’t for you. Go start a Drafting 701 PhD class. If you quiver in fear at deviating from rankings and pre-draft lists, you don't need this class. You’re good. Just auto-draft.

It's like talking to a wall. The guy posts that 20 unarmed black people were killed by police in 2024 and your response implies criminals are being gunned down in the streets by racist police. 20 people... That's not systemic. That's barely a blip in a nation of 330 million people and 40 million black people. You have a better chance of being struck by lightening than being killed by a cop. Is lightening racist too? This is madness.

And most important lesson... Unless you are new to the hobby, don't listen to weepaws advice.

I don't even know why anyone would plan to work until they are 67. I don't even want to be alive at 67.
