I haven't had this much fun watching an outside linebacker tear offensive lines up since I saw a young Khalil Mack burst onto the scene several years ago. Shaq may not have Mack's athleticism, but he has all of the same technical tricks, leverage, power, and instincts that have made Mack such a special player.
Barrett has earned every single one of his sacks so far this season, and if the tape is to be believed...there's a lot more where those came from.

Season record: 24-25 (still closing in on that magic 55% win rate for beating spreads)
PANTHERS @ TEXANS (-4.5)
I am choosing Houston to cover at only a four and a half point spread at home, but I don’t necessarily feel great about it. Kyle Allen played extremely well last week in Arizona, and not even in just a “beat up a bad defense” kind of way. He was nailing tight throws with perfect placement, showed some ...

Lamar is not even close to being fully developed yet, but he's already SO FAR AHEAD of where he was last year (like seriously, it's not even close) that I knew I needed to make a follow up video on him.
I've been thoroughly impressed with Lamar's decision making, mechanics, and aggressiveness as a passer, and honestly once he cleans up his deep ball trajectories there's really no limit to what Baltimore's offense can accomplish.
Seeing this big of a second year jump in a QB is ...

Season record so far: 15-18 (we're slowly getting to that magic 55% target
BRONCOS (+7.5) @ PACKERS
I think the Broncos keep this game relatively close, even if they ultimately lose. A more-than-touchdown spread in favor of Green Bay seems like a bit much to me; Denver is a much better team than their record indicates. Yes, the offense struggled against Chicago, but EVERY offense struggles against Chicago…including the Packers. The we...

Just in time to place your last minute bets this week, here are my picks for the second full Sunday of the regular season! Sorry for these being so late this week. My production schedule was jam packed for the last few days with three separate videos coming out so it was tough to carve out an hour to write this up.

I'm not even a true Bears fan and this one still hurt a lot to make. I haven't been this angry while watching a young quarterback fall into bad habits in a long, long time. Quite frankly, some of these throws that Trubisky were attempting last week were downright inexcusable.
If he doesn't improve, and improve *fast*, I worry that Chicago could lose the stranglehold on the NFC North that they held so firmly last year. Hell...that stranglehold might already be gone and we didn't even kn...

With the bulk of cutdown day finally behind us, and with some major trades and contract negotiations also wrapping up, I feel like now is a good time to post my final fantasy rankings of 2019 for both PPR and Non-PPR formats (or...probably final, at least). In the attached excel document, you'll find all position rankings for both formats, as well as the combined rankings that include everyone together in one big board.
Or, if you want an even MORE updated version of these rankings as ...

It also comes with the long-awaited combined position rankings by round, which I hope can help give further context to where I have all these names stacked up.

Another week, another round of updates to the fantasy position rankings for 2019! There were some minor changes made towards the back end of each position, but a few major ones were also made towards the top to account for some high profile injuries/holdouts.

After taking a few extra days to double check some grades so that I could get all my ducks in a row, here are (at last!) my rankings for every single offensive and defensive position group in the 2019 Draft class. Most of these positions are limited to top five lists, but some of them have been expanded to as high as ten simply because of how absurdly deep they are. Before we get into the lists themselves though, here are a few key takeaways from my overall opinion of this class:

The more I watched Dwayne Haskins on film last week, the more I realized something...the Giants have been building the perfect roster to fit Haskins' needs a rookie this WHOLE TIME. In fact, the Odell trade might have been their way of HELPING Dwayne by shoring up the offensive line, not signalling that they were gonna pass on him. Hear me out as to why!
