doing my first fantasy hockey draft basically ever right now! very fun so far! will share results later if folks are interested.

in other NFL news, not entirely sure what the functional purpose of bringing Austin Ekeler back in is for the Commanders. if Rachaad White, a younger/healthier player of a similar skill set archetype, isn't doing much of anything, then how is a vet coming back from an Achilles supposed to help?

130

look... I'm not saying J.J. McCarthy is going to be immediately super good in this Giants' offense... but... I dunno, am I completely unhinged for thinking "Hey, let's give this dude a shot before we assume he's totally cooked?" the NFL is weird; sometimes scenery change is good!

Pac in AEW: Let's Call a Spade a Spade

friendship got me into watching professional wrestling, but following the Death Riders storyline in AEW is what ultimately cemented my love of the art form. Pac was on the card at the first Dynamite taping I ever went to. amazing performer. he will be missed more than I can express. 😭

I both absolutely hate but still find myself deeply amused by the fact that this is the bar my favorite NFL team's offense sets for itself. every year is a fun quest to see how close to normal functioning Pittsburgh can get. 🤣

Are we underestimating the Las Vegas Raiders? Both @aaronschatz.com & @miketanier.bsky.social think so — this perpetual AFC West cellar dweller seems to be righting the ship before our very eyes 🏴‍☠️

With teammate Jonathon Brooks set to miss significant time, fantasy managers should feel good about rolling out Panthers RB Chuba Hubbard as a volume-heavy play in Week 3 lineups. Here's our very own @fftylero.bsky.social with more on Carolina's leading rusher 💪

Nervous about trusting ANYONE in the Cleveland Browns' offense for fantasy football purposes? Makes sense, but when it comes to RB Quinshon Judkins in Week 3 against the porous Carolina Panthers, our dude @popesffh.bsky.social is feeling good about some points being scored 🐶

How soon should fantasy managers trust putting Vikings QB Kyler Murray into lineups? Well, if you ask @fftylero.bsky.social, that answer would be right now, immediately in Week 3 going up against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 🏈

Friday means it's #FantasyFootball vibes time with Herms. There are lots of intriguing roster situations around the NFL; some names get discussed a lot by the FF community, while others kinda fall through the cracks. Here's where my brain's at ahead of Week 3: ftnfantasy.com/nfl/most-pol...

dyno trade! 🏈 TL;DR *dumpster fire* roster of mine. went vet heavy in the startup, never went anywhere, lost Jaxson Dart, in last place to already, whole thing. so here's the deal: Herms gives - Lamar Jackson + Ken Walker III Herms receives - Jayden Daniels, Cam Skattebo, Emeka Egbuka vibes? 👀

SPOILER: Herms feels confident in this take *potentially* aging well. I think it's gonna make my Friday article, so no 🧵 or nothing, but TL;DR the Commanders' backfield is already telling us Bill is fading. wherever Kaytron is available, I'd take that shot. more ✍️ coming to @ftnfantasy.com soon.

okay, so, after wrapping my final draft for the Week 3 edition of 'Spilling the DST' for @ftnfantasy.com, one thing that didn't make the final cut is that the Las Vegas Raiders' DST might be good. even when adjusting for who they've played to open 2026, some 🏈 stats are neat (thread 🧵)

herms. 🏈 @herms.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

it bothers me that folks are as interested in being critical and hyperfocusing on how Caleb Williams, a grown man, processes/reacts to being injured in an NFL football game as they are. not an ounce of my being cares to analyze how someone reacts to a hamstring. it probs hurt, so he got help! cool!

UPDATE: it was, and Jonah Coleman is still absurdly available in both ESPN and Yahoo leagues for reasons that don't make sense but here we are anyway, folks. just do the thing.

I gotta stop getting duped by the Chargers. I've been falling for this since Philip Rivers, man. they'll never be as good as they "could be," and I am repeatedly suckered into believing otherwise by the fact that the Chargers' uniforms and the lightning bolt logo are sick. this cannot go on!

The Chiefs' defense looked INCREDIBLE in last week's action... but the Colts' offensive line this past Sunday? Not so much 🥴 NFL Week 2 action puts Steve Spagnuolo in a stellar position to succeed & pull off another W. Here's @aaronschatz.com & @miketanier.bsky.social with more on this game ⤵️

having looked at the Week 2 FF rankings at @ftnfantasy.com, I noticed Herms is the "low guy" on Caleb Williams at QB10 — I don't doubt he can handle the Brian Flores blitz attack with pocket improv, but Caleb hasn't been to good against MIN in the past (plus the Vikings' run defense is TOUGH!)

HERMS CONUNDRUM: I have a roster w/ Kyren Williams/Chase Brown/David Montgomery as my RBs. Ideally, Monty is my FLEX, but because I also have Zay Flowers (hamstring), my WR pivots are either Jamo tonight or Mike Evans at WR2 on Sunday, which would effectively render Flowers/Monty as the FLEX convo.

something about those Taco Bell ads making 2016 seem like "super chill throwback vibes" doesn't really mesh with me lolol

150

fwiw, the fact that Jonah Coleman did *absolutely nothing* in Week 1 only confirms my understanding of the upside value he brings to the table. it is not weird for rookie RBs in his boat to be silent early in the szn and we have MONTHS left to go!

050

so, I guess my main takeaway from tonight is that the Chiefs are just "the Chiefs" again! I know my dude @fftylero.bsky.social talked about that possibility plenty on CRP throughout the summer, and so far, it's lookin' like a good call. good reminder to stay locked in with @ftnfantasy.com 🏈

Dan Pizzuta @danpizzuta.bsky.social · 15/09/2026

performances like this are precisely the reason why herms was egregiously annoying about Kenneth Walker III last summer; only problem is that herms needed KWIII to make it to the Chiefs before it could happen. but hey, it's happening now!
