Jalen Hurts deserves mad credit for taking one of the worst rosters in the NFL to the playoffs.
Keep doubting and this kid and he’ll continue to prove the critics wrong.
Always grateful to call the fantasy football industry home & to have the honor of playing in this league. 🙏
Thank you,
@ScottFish24
& the entire
@FantasyCaresOrg

for the past few years, today was my first day serving in my new role as an on-air host.
Expect content from me on their YouTube channel regularly.
I'm beyond grateful for the team's belief in me & the
I was freshly 22 & had just launched
@IBT_Media
when I got my first SFB invite in 2020.
3 years later, I'm living out my dream in the fantasy sports industry. Yet, getting an invite is still met with the same level of excitement & gratitude.
A big thank you to
@ScottFish24
I'm sorry, but redraft analysts should not be victory-lapping on Cole Kmet.
He was the PPR TE31 through the first half of the season & lost people valuable early matchups.
I think I capitalized on the Damian Williams news today in a dynasty league that I’m very much in win-now mode.
Gave: Clyde Edwards-Helaire & Rob Gronkowski
Received: D.J Moore, David Johnson & 2021 1st Rd
Thoughts?
Freelance update: What’s been a journey of nearly four years creating fantasy sports content took an unexpected – yet amazing – turn lately, as I officially joined
@FantasyPros
as an editor.
I’m gracious for this opportunity to work alongside some of the best in the business.
The top-6 rookie picks seem to have consensus in superflex formats:
• Bijan Robinson
• Anthony Richardson
• Bryce Young
• C.J. Stroud
• Jaxon Smith-Njigba
• Jahmyr Gibbs
Can anyone talk me out of Dalton Kincaid at the 1.07, especially if there's a TE premium?
College football players I’m most excited to watch in 2022 for future fantasy purposes:
• Bijan Robinson (RB, TEX)
• Jordan Addison (WR, USC)
• Parker Washington (WR, PSU)
• Michael Mayer (TE, ND)
Who should I be adding to this list?
Being nominated for four
@fswa
awards this year is perhaps the most humbling moment in my career.
Whether football or racing content, I’ve always tried to push the boundaries. To be recognized alongside some of the industry’s best – analysts I grew up reading – is surreal.
I know Rhamondre Stevenson is the new hotness, but James White is still the other running back you want in New England.
He’s locked in as a low-end PPR RB3 for me.
Nobody is 100% correct; I get that. But my Week 4 start recommendation of Marcus Mariota kept me up last night.
I apologize to anyone who tailed that advice.
If you're drafting Tony Pollard because he is "one injury away," keep in mind Zeke has missed just 1 career game due to injury.
Instead, target A.J. Dillon, who provides more stand-alone value behind a starter with more of an injury history.
My advice for anyone starting a brand is to find good humans.

Rachel embodies everything this community & IBT should be about.
We couldn't be happier to welcome her to our family as a writer!
Travis Etienne had more rushing yards in 2022 than these RBs have had in any of their combined 18 seasons:
• Aaron Jones
• Alvin Kamara
• Austin Ekeler
If his pass-catching increases, an overall RB1 finish is attainable.
Why is it cool when Tom Brady recruits Gronk & AB to Tampa Bay, but Aaron Rodgers is a bully for asking the Jets to sign Allen Lazard & Randall Cobb?
The narratives about AR are ludicrous. It’s about to get real fun in New York & I’m here for it. ✈️
Being the best man at a wedding over the weekend taught me a lot about love and just how lucky I am to have

by my side.
Despite the scoring settings, she’s always my 1.01.
Happy Thanksgiving weekend!
I finally found some downtime this morning to reflect, & I couldn’t be more grateful for the life I’m living.
I was a 20 when I first began creating fantasy content.
Today I am 25, making a comfortable living solely on editing & creating
Finally a moment to reflect back on
@theffexpo
...
I live the dumbest life imaginable that all comes full circle each year in Canton, Ohio.
I am forever grateful for my
@IBT_Media
team & partners, who helped us host another successful Draft Night Out!
Can you believe how many amazing people have been brought together by fantasy football?
I'm so thankful for all those from the industry who I’ve met along this journey. 🙏🏼
I’m a strong proponent that the written word is not dead in fantasy sports. 📝
Sure, you can get more instant gratification from view numbers on a stream. But if you actually write and edit consistently, the read time and returning audience speak for themselves.
The 2023 edition of
@theffexpo
was filled with opportunity, laughter & most importantly… community.
Here are my takeaways from the truly sensational experience:
Results from my first official rookie draft of the 2022 season:
• 1.03: Garrett Wilson (WR, NYJ)
• 1.07: Christian Watson (WR, GB)
• 2.07: David Bell (WR, CLE)
• 3.07: Malik Willis (QB, TEN)
How’d I do?
I failed to mention it on today’s show, but it marked our 100th episode of the

Podcast!
Thanks to
@km_betweenFF
for the cookie, my team for joining me & all our listeners for helping us get here!
I’m blessed to call fantasy sports my career, but I’d be lying if I didn't feel that sometimes it would’ve been easier to have chosen a different path.
Today is one of those days.
Here’s to a better tomorrow. 🌆
I know some people might not like my content. And I get it. It can be very real-feeling and raw for a game that many use as an escape from the real world.
But I’m alright with that. I'm here to help people do more than just win fantasy football championships. ☕️
I was looking through the list of
@theffexpo
exhibitors when I noticed something...
I don't know whose brand this is, but I am dying to hear the story behind it.
Man, such a surreal feeling to learn that I’ve officially been invited to the

Today marks three months since I left my career in higher ed. media to pursue fantasy sports & web design freelancing full-time.
These are my top-five lessons for anyone looking to do the same; a thread
I joined the fantasy football industry when I was 21.
I’ve since learned that there are door openers & gatekeepers.
As I continue to grow, I am grateful for those who opened doors for me & I strive to do the same for others – even if it isn’t with my site.
I've never made a follower milestone Tweet before. Not because I wasn't thankful but because I never wanted to focus on the numbers.
However, 4,000 was a special one to me – being that it was the population of my hometown.
Thank you to everyone who has helped a once-smalltown
Cardinals ownership letting Kyler Murray have input on the next head coach is insane. 🤯
I hope Arizona fans are ready for more mediocrity through 2028.
Tonight,
@km_betweenFF
and I began a new tradition – setting up our Christmas decorations and tree while listening to 2000’s Disney Channel music (Jonas Brothers, Miley Cyrus, Jesse McCartney, etc.), finished with a Fireball shot.
Happy holidays, friends.
Full transparency: It’s been a bit of an overwhelming last 24 hours, tieing things up before leaving for the draft.
Seeing this

Sometimes sports have to take a backseat.
We missed the Cup Series Championship & late NFL slate to attend the

Young Alumni Awards Banquet on Sunday.
But thank goodness for DVR!
We’re caught up enough now to say the Cowboys are frauds & Ryan Blaney is that dude!
Happy 25th birthday to my best friend.
From Happy Valley to the NFL Draft in Las Vegas, she’s always a catch.
Can’t thank her enough for endless love & supporting me chasing my dreams. ❤️
As mentioned on last night’s podcast, my all-ins for 2021 are T.J. Hockenson & David Montgomery.
Previous seasons include:
2020: Calvin Ridley 🚀 & Zach Ertz 🤢
2019: Tyler Boyd 😐 & James Conner 🤕
2018: Adam Thielen 🥵 & JuJu Smith-Schuster 🔥
Who are you all-in on this year?
Above any right take or accomplished milestone, finding this family gives me the most pride.
Just our fantasy sports YouTube team is pictured below, but so grateful for my entire IBT Family. ❤️
