No early-week recap ep due to Shawn still recovering from a nagging sickness. We’ll record something in a couple days.

From the @bengretch.bsky.social newsletter today. The NFL is a defensive league now.

Roles for 2025 draft picks in the first two weeks of the season. Now with PFF grades!

🍌Fresh Stealing Bananas🍌 Listen in as @bengretch.bsky.social and Shawn Siegele share their key takeaways from NFL Week 2!! Now available on RotoViz YouTube and Podcast players!

I love this (& feel this) from @bengretch.bsky.social so much This psychological battle is so real, not just for someone doing analyst work, but any fantasy player

Had a blast chatting with Bill about some of Week 1’s biggest storylines ⤵️

The most detailed & well-thought-out content you can read every week

What was Signal? What was Noise? I break it all down, game by game, every week at Stealing Signals ⤵️ bengretch.substack.com/p/stealing-s...

I mean I'm biased, but this is the best recap show you're going to find about Week 1. We both watch all the games, so we can work through the nuance, but we also mostly just had an awesome time laughing at the ridiculousness of Week 1.

Really frickin pumped to see @peteroverzet.bsky.social shine on the pregame show tonight. Dude deserves this and more.

So cool to watch Pete do his thing on a huge stage!

How do you not go to AJ Brown there?

44 points in 40 mins before the delay 0 points in 15 after

Landon Dickerson has a back injury and AJ Dillon just plowed into his back and reinjured him

Kinda love Tirico breaking down the competition committee vote every time they run the tush push

That’s a really tough third down drop from Lamb. Not to make an excuse but the long delay might’ve played a role.

The NFL will do anything to fit more ads into their games smh

Miles Sanders got caught by a linebacker who wasn’t at all afraid of him running away from him lol

Tony Dungy just said “These offenses are so similar, dual threat quarterbacks, running backs that can break the big play” and I just don’t know what I’m supposed to do with that

They wouldn’t have kicked a FG on 4th and 2 with a minute in the half, Cris

Javonte “Young Zeke” Williams

CeeDee Lamb dominates, George Pickens gets a one-on-one, wins. Tough to stop two guys with this much combined talent.

Observation: CeeDee Lamb is unguardable

I’m so glad the NFL is back. This shit rules.

Barkley being clearly prepared to split, and Shipley being on for three straight snaps and two touches, seems super bullish for the “Shipley will have standalone value as RB2” thesis. I didn’t really buy that one.

Barkley coming off there for Shipley early is interesting usage. He called out after that run.

at the current rate rate, Jalen Carter is going to get ejected 10,200 times this NFL season

Javonte Williams had just 4 rushing TDs all of last year. Scores the NFL’s first TD of 2025.

What an insane start to the NFL season

To be clear: • I do not have favorites when I make the #AMAugust calendar. • I don't have dates circled because I know they'll be great AMAs with amazing insights. • I don't have ones I've been looking forward to for weeks. But if I did 🤔 ... 1 p.m. r/fantasyfootball @bengretch.bsky.social

The highest compliment I can pay Ben is that first working with him and then reading him has made me a better Fantasy player AND analyst, even in baseball.

Yes, you could buy one month, but try it annually instead. Ben’s weekly Stealing Signals in-season content is insanely helpful. The amount of actionable intel it provides during the season is phenomenal.

If you're into fantasy football, I've been grinding a ton of player analysis and strategy content that's proven successful in higher-stakes leagues but is tailored to everyone. Links to all my relevant work (so far) here: bengretch.substack.com/p/stealing-s...
