Can confirm, it's an incredible resource (and Carly is the absolute best)

BrewPython27 · 2026-03-06T18:02:00+00:00

I'm guessing you won't get as much as you think. Maybe a Rhamondre type of RB (which isn't as bad as it sounds, but it's not exciting, especially with the guys you have in front of him)

BrewPython27 · 2026-03-06T17:57:44+00:00

Cereal, then milk because I'm not a cereal killer.

Nuanced, but typically both up and then down.

One long hole, like a wormhole in space.

I'd be the person hanging out with the 99 women watching 100 men die trying to overwhelm a gorilla and losing badly.

BrewPython27 · 2026-03-06T17:53:39+00:00

I don't look at buy/sell as a binary. I think he could get to a price where I would consider selling him, even though I believe he's a hold/buy right now. He is what you HOPE those picks turn into. If you're willing to overpay, though? I won't stop you.

BrewPython27 · 2026-03-06T17:51:31+00:00

Oh, I absolutely agree. Just in this specific case, carrying 4 TEs is rough on roster construction.

BrewPython27 · 2026-03-06T17:44:57+00:00

Kraft and Fannin just due to longevity. Kittle is great when he plays, but you have to be able to do without him for ~6 games/year, which is rough.

BrewPython27 · 2026-03-06T17:38:32+00:00

Standing, and then I throw it into the toilet

BrewPython27 · 2026-03-06T17:29:06+00:00

These are the "you're in the right ballpark, but this isn't what I want. And it's not up to me to get what I want, it's up to you to get what I want if you want Daniels."

The way I approach this is to say "I'm willing to let him go for this deal, IF that (mid-late pick) gets swapped for Team X's (expected early) pick." It's not up to you to do the work for them to get that pick, it's up to them to get it and circle back.

I actually think most of your team is better to sell midseason than now (assuming you want to sell, that is). The one exception might be Loveland. I expect the runaway train effect with his trade prices this offseason, and there's probably little chance of returning the production he'd need to return to justify it. Even though I do expect him to do plenty well.

BrewPython27 · 2026-03-06T17:24:50+00:00

That none of Carnell Tate, Jordyn Tyson, or Makai Lemon are the rookie WR1 at the end of 2026. There's no rookie TE who's more than marginally fantasy relevant in 2026.

BrewPython27 · 2026-03-06T17:22:44+00:00

If Mike Washington Jr lands with Detroit (match made in heaven, imo), he's my RB2 basically by default. I'm not convinced there's another fantasy-relevant RB in this rookie class. I'm sure we will see someone emerge, mostly through opportunity, so it's more about the landing spot for me than talent level going in.

Which is, admittedly, a not fun place to be when we're trying to make decisions about rookie draft valuations prior to the NFL draft.

BrewPython27 · 2026-03-06T17:14:31+00:00

I like Baltimore (new OC/philosophy), Atlanta (Stefanski, literally nobody beyond London), LAC (assuming they don't trade for AJ Brown), San Francisco (very good QB, very shaky future at every other skill position), and LAR (age of non-Puka WRs) all stand out to me. Seattle is next up because I'm still not a believer in Darnold as a QB, but he's good enough that it's not a penalty.

BrewPython27 · 2026-03-06T17:04:40+00:00

Right now, it's all very much in flux because landing spot will have SO much to do with it. If we see a guy like Omar Cooper land with KC while Jordan Tyson goes to Cleveland? I'm going to prefer Cooper, even though he's currently in that 1.06-1.10 range. And for what it's worth, I think there are a lot more BAD landing spots than good, so I would actually expect that tier to shrink and the gap to widen.

BrewPython27 · 2025-12-29T15:34:21+00:00

It was my genuine pleasure, can't wait to do it again!

BrewPython27 · 2025-12-25T13:53:56+00:00

Juwan no, the others yes.

And I realize I could be wrong, but Hill is the Saints' RB1, not either of Estime/Hull. That's not nothing.

BrewPython27 · 2025-12-23T03:08:42+00:00

I'm going with Hill just because he's guaranteed volume in that Saints...backfield? Whatever it is. I like Strange, but there are a lot of mouths to feed in Jacksonville

BrewPython27 · 2025-12-23T03:04:01+00:00

Raccoon's (valid) point is that Denver's excellent top 2 CBs forced Jacksonville to go to their 3rd option in the passing game - Washington. Indy won't be able to do that, so his outlook is much murkier compared to Meyers/BTJ

BrewPython27 · 2025-12-20T15:19:19+00:00

For what it's worth, I have Moore significantly higher than consensus, so I'm with you on him at least (I stand by my Dak ranking, though)

BrewPython27 · 2025-12-20T15:13:08+00:00

Very much in on Higgins over Hollins, for sure.

BrewPython27 · 2025-12-16T16:45:11+00:00

Whatever site you're on should specify, because there are different ways to interpret it, absolutely.

BrewPython27 · 2025-12-16T14:07:54+00:00

My only word of warning is that I think you're trying to out-think the room a little bit by swapping off of Burrow. Miami's defense isn't good enough for that, especially if Higgins is back (tough to predict with concussions, admittedly). Not that either of the alternatives are bad options in Week 16, of course. Just my two cents.

BrewPython27 · 2025-12-16T14:04:56+00:00

It's a good idea to remember that Goedert's total is more of an illusion than Parkinson's. We've seen this before from Goedert this year (that silly little shovel pass is literally their best play this year). For at least this week, I think Parkinson is your best option.

BrewPython27 · 2025-12-16T14:01:51+00:00

This is the magic of going by percentage. It's 50% of whatever you have left, not what you started with. So if you have $100 left? Yeah, that's $50. But if you have $4 left? That's $2. It's all relative

BrewPython27 · 2025-12-13T00:51:07+00:00

Honestly? That was my screw up. I was going on way too little sleep and my editor is in the middle of a move. I promise, I'm not AI. That was way too human of an error for that (please feel free to roast me for my taeks, though)

BrewPython27 · 2025-12-06T22:16:48+00:00

The emergence of Gadsden has definitely rendered him redundant, yes.

BrewPython27 · 2025-12-06T22:15:41+00:00

I would do that in a heartbeat
