Jakob! Three questions in one comment 1.The edge across all fantasy football platforms is rapidly deteriorating (some faster than others of course). What do you think is next for the fantasy football community that is looking to play for profit (and why is it college fantasy football)? 2. You have wisely shifted your content towards best-ball and high stakes this offseason, will you be continuing this shift with more dfs focused content like your show with Davis from last year and your free squares show you previously hosted? 3. How would you grow and manage a bankroll as someone like myself that is just starting a real life career post college?
How concerning did you find mark Andrews usage last night? He must still be recovering to some extent, but the concurrent emergence of likely seems like bad news to me
I appreciate all of your content, Jakob! It is a fun, creative mix of content that gives me an edge and makes me think and laugh. I read your Pareto Principle article and have been a follower since.
1. Do you plan to ever do any C2C or Devy content?
1a) If not - do you have any analysts, podcasts, or tools you recommend?
1b) If not - any high-level strategies (not player takes) for new players to use as a framework?
2. I love your Celtics content. I am a Wolves fan, so I have rooted for the C's as well since the KG days. Which NFL player would you comp to Rudy Gobert? Both in team impact and how the media portrays him.
3. I heard you mention Nate Silver's new book on one of your shows. I am a fan/substack subscriber to him as well. He has discussed how hard it is to make money in the sportsbetting world due to sites putting limits on sharp players. It appears that you are around a lot of betting sharps (or at least Twitter thinks they are sharp). Are they having a level of success where they are limited by "Vegas"?
I apologize for the long questions, no need to answer all of them. Thanks!
1. After reviewing your recent RB ranks I have been trying to sell off my Gibbs on a bye-contender (also own JT). Tiering up to Bijan/Breece or tiering “down” to Achane hasn’t been successful. What do you suggest are other RBs to target? Do I go for a Barkley plus a base 1st? I think Gibbs’ value might be at his peak and would prefer to move off him before the season begins.
2. Give me two Surivivors you’d want to see back for season 50- one has to be from season 41-46 and the other has to be someone not included in Winners at War.
In 0.5 PPR managed, which pairing would you take - Mahomes and Bowers or Daniels and Kincaid? Thinking through how critical it is to avoid missing the top 7 TE tier break.
You’ve been higher on Jaleel after seeing his passing down usage in the preseason. My question though is how much stock should we put into something like this? We saw them try him out in these situations last year only to phase him out once they concluded he was too small. Couldn’t they just be experimenting again this preseason only to go back to exclusively Javonte on passing downs in the regular season?
Dynasty question - how do you bounce back from a failed “all-in” season? I traded a lot of capital to build a contender last year and was bounced in the semi-finals. I have since tried to recalibrate and trade into younger, talented players, and am currently sitting in the bottom third of teams according to Dynasty-Daddy contending standings. I do not have my 2025 first and have been unsuccessful trading for it, so feels bad to completely tank. Any advice?
Political question here (feel free to not answer): As a leftist in the USA, the last few weeks from the Harris campaign have been very disappointing (from her comments on Palestine, to increased rhetoric on the border/immigration). Do you see this as true shift in her views from 2020, or rather a tactic to attract more of the centrist vote, only to revert back to her previous, and more humane, stances on these issues?
Also, I benefitted greatly last year from your Achane take. But I haven’t seen him discussed too thoroughly in these halls yet for 24. I know you moved him to a target in the latest ranks. Is he worth elaborating on in the context of auction leagues, where you really have to pay for upside?

How will you help me cope if the Raiders miss use Brock Bowers
Long time listener, first time caller…. Do you have any plans of weekly DK DFS content for paid subscribers?
Will you be posting WR QB and TE Dynasty tiers like you did with RB? Those were eaiser to read :-D
Hey Jakob,
Two-parter here:
1. After reviewing your recent RB ranks I have been trying to sell off my Gibbs on a bye-contender (also own JT). Tiering up to Bijan/Breece or tiering “down” to Achane hasn’t been successful. What do you suggest are other RBs to target? Do I go for a Barkley plus a base 1st? I think Gibbs’ value might be at his peak and would prefer to move off him before the season begins.
2. Give me two Surivivors you’d want to see back for season 50- one has to be from season 41-46 and the other has to be someone not included in Winners at War.
In 0.5 PPR managed, which pairing would you take - Mahomes and Bowers or Daniels and Kincaid? Thinking through how critical it is to avoid missing the top 7 TE tier break.
For start/sit decisions, how much stock would you put into Vegas prop lines?
And do you use them in your fantasy analysis in general?
You’ve been higher on Jaleel after seeing his passing down usage in the preseason. My question though is how much stock should we put into something like this? We saw them try him out in these situations last year only to phase him out once they concluded he was too small. Couldn’t they just be experimenting again this preseason only to go back to exclusively Javonte on passing downs in the regular season?
blitz of content is right - i guess the cocaine you can now afford as a lawyer is of a better tier...

Great content recently.
What are your main priorities for managing your dynasty teams in the first few weeks of the season?
Also, I benefitted greatly last year from your Achane take. But I haven’t seen him discussed too thoroughly in these halls yet for 24. I know you moved him to a target in the latest ranks. Is he worth elaborating on in the context of auction leagues, where you really have to pay for upside?
Someone dropped Xavier worthy in my home auction league before the season even started :) What kind of bid is appropriate when such insanity is afoot.
