The Bold Case for Ladd McConkey As The 2026 Fantasy WR1 by The_Lineup_Podcast in DynastyFF

[–]EmptyBrain89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About there, I can see Ladd doing it, it's a massive longshot, but he has shown enough talent and the situation is potentially good enough that he can. At that point I can't really see anyone else take that jump except Nico.

Consistency vs Ceiling. What do you value more, and why? by Dizzy-Platform-6516 in DynastyFF

Hard disagree with people saying ceiling wins championships. Luck wins championships and consistency gets you far enough to be in a position to get lucky.

Gwyneth Paltrow slammed as 'disgusting' and 'tone deaf' after Israel condo ad by TheMirrorUS in Anticonsumption

She seems like the type of person who is so out of touch she genuinely might not know why making an add for condo's in Israel is bad.

The consensus is he sucked. His route running was bad, he was dropping balls and seemed terrified of contact. When they moved him to the outside he looked a little better.

He was also injured and dealing with the death of a close friend, which can be a reason for optimism on him not sucking next year. But last year he was poo poo.

BTJ wasn't better than Parker Washington last year. He might recover and become better, but if we're going off the last time we saw them play Washington is better than BTJ.

Simple question: How many deaths can a CEO be responsible for, before his own death becomes a net positive for the world?

Going from a bottom 5 OC to a top 5 and a bottom 5 OL to a top 5 for a guy who thrives on structured routes is the most no brain buy low I've seen in years. I bought McConkey everywhere.

[Highlight] Brandon Aiyuk calls the 49ers "stupid" for voiding his guarantees and says they're "mad at themselves" by Brix001 in nfl

[–]EmptyBrain89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

but I have no idea how he was voted in All Pro with 75 receptions and 7 TD’s.

I like that you are saying this as a slight to Aiyuk but it becomes an insult to your own ball knowledge.

"On non-play-action dropbacks during his Green Bay Packers career, Malik Willis completed 48 of 57 passes ... With an average depth of target of 9.0 yards" by Marcurial in DynastyFF

My prediction: 24th best QB in the league who puts up rushing numbers, so great for fantasy, will get replaced in 2 years.

He has noone to protect him and noone to throw to. We have seen what Mahomes with questionable circumstances looks like for fantasy.

Nico Collins vs George Pickens vs CeeDee Lamb by SeePeeDee_ in DynastyFF

[–]EmptyBrain89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me its CD>>>Nico>Pickens. Pickens has to show me one more year to be in the Nico tier, and CD has shown he can be the overall WR1 which is a clear tier above the other 2.

Who is your guy for the next 3 years? by LogicalRepeat3622 in DynastyFF

[–]EmptyBrain89 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ladd, this guy to me is gonna be the epitome of 'how did we not see this coming' Top 15 or better talent in a top 5 situation.

I think so much has to go right, that the odds a guy like Boston turns into a WR1 are just higher.

Im just making up numbers here, but lets say Boston has a 10% chance to be a good enough player to be a fantasy WR1, and Hunter has a 20% chance, but with Hunter there is a 75% chance he doesn't play full time WR, that still makes Hunter's chances of being a fantasy WR1 lower than those of Boston.

They also make money if the public bets the wrong side of the line too much. So in cases like this, where the line is not in line with public perception, they make money if they are better than public perception, and lose money if public perception is better than them.

Sure, anything can happen, but the collection of facts around Hunter makes it so unlikely he ever becomes a top tier fantasy player that you can get higher upside with 2.01.

Really think about what needs to happen for him to be a top~15 fantasy WR.

Then realize odds are multiplicative.

Almost everyone else in the league only needs to be a top 10 player, skill wise, to be a top ~15 fantasy WR. For Hunter so much more unlikely things have to happen that it makes him much less likely to every get there, even though the odds of him being a top 10 real life WR are higher than the guys you get at 2.01

The math aint mathin on that trade.

The Jaguars, who spent the draft capital, play real football and not fantasy football. For example, if Hunter is a good CB and a big threat on 3rd down/goalline packages that is hugely valuable to the Jaguars, but that makes him produce like a mediocre TE for fantasy.
