appreciate everyone who checked out this week's usage report at FTN! it's always a joy to do. there's tons of good information in this article, but I know there's the $paywall$ part. here's a free lil snippet. I'm pretty excited about Matthew Golden and have been sending offers for him all night: ⤵️

We had a fantastic show as @herms.bsky.social came back and co-hosted with me and we had our fantastic guest @natepolvogt.optimusfantasy.com as we discussed who we are panicking about. Drop in the comments who you are panicking about or not panicking about! podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

get that sweet, sweet data analysis baybee 🔗⤵️

the vibes on this are strong! if the Nats can get this farm system lookin' anything like the one Toboni helped cook up there in Boston, then I'll be a very happy fan. ⚾

my enthusiasm for Jaxson Dart will not be contained. I do not care how difficult the Giants' upcoming schedule is. there is never a "good time" to throw a rookie into the fire against professional competition. sometimes ya gotta just do the damn thing. vibe city. it's 🎯 time baybee.

for some reason the Trade Addicts crew still wants me involved in their show! ask us questions! reply to the QT (or whatever the abbreviation is for a quoted post on bsky, idk man):

good news: the Crossing Routes Podcast (fueled by @ftnfantasy.com) is back with a new episode! even good-er news: @fftylero.bsky.social and I brought the runtime down from an hour to about 40 minutes! everything you need to know from Week 3 is live: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

I'm going to be really annoyed if I did all this research to prop up Bhayshul Tuten as a sleeper only to have a bunch of my readers get raptured tomorrow.

Cam Skattebo proves that vibes-based anaylsis works

WE HAVE A COLE KMET SIGHTING @cooterdoodle.bsky.social

got me some Sam Adams Oktoberfest and nothin' to do. hit up ya boi with any FF questions you may have: lineup stuff, add/drops, trades, whatever — world's your oyster. (also totally fine if not, I understand conversing with internet strangers isn't the best Friday night activity)

New from @brykno.bsky.social at @ftnfantasy.com is a look at Russell Wilson's deep pass and the top deep passers of 2025 so far according to FTN StatsHub (FREE). ftnfantasy.com/nfl/russell-...

learned something about myself tonight: - went to a screening of Toy Story for the 30th anniversary, and turns out, I am *NOT* able to handle it emotionally when "You've Got a Friend in Me" starts playing. just sittin' there like "FUCK... nope, we're good," while getting all teary-eyed.

the latest edition of 'Five Tips For Fantasy Football Beginners' is live now at @fantasypoints.com. it's a nice, brief review of key points to remember entering Week 3. even if *you're* not new to playing FF, someone you know might be! share this with them: www.fantasypoints.com/nfl/articles...

appreciate everyone who checked out my weekly usage report at FTN! It's an essay and a half, but I think I include some very intriguing insights that make it worth the read. I know there's a $paywall$ involved, so here's a lil snippet for folks to check out about the New York Giants backfield 👀

🚨 FANTASY PANIC MODE: Ladd McConkey's WR1 dreams crumbling? 📽️ @laquanjonesnfl.bsky.social

I was told that comedy was now legal again.

the weekly Herms mind dump is here!

had a lot of fun on Trade Addicts (per usual), and y'all should definitely check out the episode!

🚨 THING NO ONE ASKED FOR, AGAIN! 🚨 time for the Herms Week 3 Waiver Wire Extravaganza. my top three faves at each position + their roster % last time I checked (yesterday evening): 🧵⤵️

obviously the online FF community is full of sickos (complimentary), but *several* folks from IRL Herms life have shown me that Quinshon Judkins is available in their league. only 57.2% rostered on ESPN and 62% on Yahoo — wild! how those numbers aren't higher is beyond me.

If someone’s not mourning the death of Robert Redford in a manner that’s consistent with your views, make sure you set up a database, call their employer, and get them fired.

doin' the thing with some of my favorite pals later!

Another new episode of the Crossing Routes Podcast (fueled by @ftnfantasy.com) is in the books. Join @fftylero.bsky.social and I as we break down Week 2 action, discuss the fallout from Joe Burrow's injury woes, and recommend some waiver adds: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

surviving in a Guillotine league in no small part due to the efforts of Rachaad White is an interesting way to play fantasy football, and I am enjoying it.

man, I don't even care that the Commanders lost. just feelin' real sad for Ekeler, dawg. 😭 man's a fantasy legend. absolutely bless tf up for one of the 🐐s 🙏

the latest edition of my new article series specifically geared toward folks who are newer to playing fantasy football is live now at @fantasypoints.com. check out the five most important things to know and be aware of in Week 2 of the 2025 season. 👀 www.fantasypoints.com/nfl/articles...

one could say Tucker is lookin' really KRAFT-y out there tonight.

stoked for the Commanders game, tho I'm kinda nervous about Bill Croskey-Merritt against this run defense. Green Bay was stingy as hell to the Lions last week (46 rushing yards) and (albeit w/ Kenny Clark) allowed the seventh-fewest per game (99.4) in 2024. not saying bench him or w/e, but still.

shoutout the folks out there who checked out today's Fantasy Football Usage Report at FTN. now, I do understand that it's behind the $paywall$. bummer, but that said, the work is solid and I wanted to share at least a lil with y'all. here's a fun excerpt about the Broncos' backfield:

what has 3k words and all the information you need to take away from Week 1 of the NFL season? this guy: 🔗⤵️

🚨 NEW THING NO ONE ASKED FOR 🚨 already do this in newsletter form, but since idk how many of y'all get the thing, figured I'd just do this here. it's time for the Herms Week 2 Waiver Wire Extravaganza. my top three faves at each position + their roster % last time I checked (yesterday evening): ⤵️

today's the day fantasy football people do the waiver wire. still thinking about who to drop? not sure who to pick up? I certainly get it — it's actually kind of a meh out there. but hey, feel free to hit up ya boi herms. reply with whatever decision you're contemplating. I'm glad to weigh in:

the Crossing Routes Podcast (fueled by @ftnfantasy.com) is back with a new in-season format! listen in as @fftylero.bsky.social and I share our notes on Week 1 action (minus the MNF game) and talk about studs, duds, and some waiver wire suggestions for Week 2: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

WE DID IT, GANG!!!!! REJOICE!!!!

idk what sort of rushing props are gonna be out there for Ken Walker III next week against the Steelers, but whatever it is, I'm taking the over. that front looked dreadful today.

who told the Saints that those uniforms were a good idea?

oh, I almost forgot! herms took part in national cheese pizza day the other day. hooray pizza. (it was v good).

whoop-whoop, they do the thing tomorrow!!!

we love a Seinfeldian plot twist in this household.

hey hello, good time to plug this for the late night crowd.

wanna give a special shoutout to all of my emergency "just in case" shares of Javonte Williams.
