Piecaken delivered

The piecaken adventure begins!

Do yourself a favor. Screenshot the lineups you’re setting this week and set a calendar reminder next August. Pretty rosters in week one aren’t the goal. A few superstars, a ton of backup RBs, and open roster spots for waiver flexibility are getting it done by the time points really start to matter.

The Sam Whittemore league absolutely owned SL this year

Michael Wilson has earned more targets than any other pass catcher in the NFL over the previous three weeks

NB10 Season to Date:

Doing a bit more digging: Of the top 48 performers in NB10 the average deviation is 0.14 from a player’s Week 3 score to Week 12. The biggest faller was Puka who lost 1.90 (bending the curve early in the year to now just being amazing) and Drake London who gained 2.07 (Puka but opposite)

Can Sean McVay fix me too? 😂

What data/metric(s) do you feel is actionable and reliable in the first three weeks of the fantasy season?

NB10 scores become reliable way earlier than I would’ve expected

Only four teams in your league have six startable weeks worth of lineups left. Shorten your lens of immediate need and make more of the moves you would in February today.

Huge thank you to @frankinthechat.bsky.social for hosting @tacitassassin13.bsky.social and me, and for letting us take some hard turns away from the show sheet to talk strategy

We drive our son an hour each way to school to give him a diverse and meaningful education. Nearly 1/3 of the students in his class didn’t show up today. This is the template to segregation.

A lot of the sustainably best pass catchers underperformed this week. Hunt out the top of the list to see if you can pry one away in a trade before the windows close

Go Pack Go!

Based on how well Hubbard and Dowdle have performed in the Panthers run scheme it's probably wise to send out an offer to acquire Jonathan Brooks on the cheap.

You will only get so much of your opposing managers' time and attention when sending out trade offers. Using a bulk trade tool that blasts them with a firehose of 11 iterations of the same offer is counterproductive and a quick way to damage future trade talks. Use spam offer tools with discretion.

Davis Mills' neck is so big it has abs

If Rome had a good QB he'd have 2000 yards

I’m looking for a paid role in FF podcasting or writing. Pretty good with numbers and more of a strategist than player take or film analyst. If you see a vacant position or are hiring please let me know. Thanks!

What does it mean to you to be good at dynasty in Week 10 vs Week 1?

Loved getting a chance to hear from the Junkies crew once more

Total fantasy points league wide tend to go up later in the season compared to the first half meaning there is more accessibility to points and you could have to do more to get wins against opponents who are still trying. Upside bets matter more as you manage the back of your roster, chase upside.

I’ve been amongst the most optimistic Dart advocates since April but it’s time to fade these outsized expectations. Defenses adjust to every QB and he still needs to prove he can overcome his natural tendencies

We could've devolved into a better sitcom tbh

What is the most realistic worst case scenario with Kyler? I’m buying.

One thing I love about dynasty: you are given the choice to flat out reject the simplest to most complex concepts your opponents have of value and effectively only allow actionability to occur within your own systems. (They have a right to do the same but is too infrequently applied imo)

Duval till I die as I cry into my eggs

For more of me finding out things Zac already knew I hope you’ll tune in to Trade Addicts in a couple weeks we’re gonna be on together!

Cam Ward is on pace to be sacked the 2nd most all time in a single season.

Florida: 2026

Pulling an old episode as a reminder: Every rookie who made the NFL playoffs gained value Of all the players who made the playoffs, only rookies gained 5%+ in value In that same dataset only vets lost 5%+ in value Playoff rookies gained 26 KTC rank spots, vets lost 27 Buy playoff bound rookies

Loved the way the DU guys broke down late round RBs in this episode. If you haven’t checked them out they’re a weekly must listen imo.

I think trading Skattebo for Marks or Tuten+ is the move. Stay in the same profile bucket and open yourself up to a new value swell.

Just playing with the NB10 data and this popped out, comparing NB10 scoring to PPG. The outliers are Rice and Addison who don't have many snaps yet.

Rankers distribute TDs to the top of their weekly rankings while they should be evenly distributed to anyone seeing a 60%+ target share. You can hunt out players who are seeing increased snap share or increased total snaps to overcome a lower snap share threshold that captures that equal TD upside
