I had a great conversation with @alfredoabrown.bsky.social on *the process* of fantasy football rookie evaluation, what traits matter when scouting and how to best identify sleepers youtu.be/rr2M08WKRDY?...

Do you like Jadarian Price or do you think you’re supposed to like Jadarian Price?

Best case scenario for Woody Marks, who now had a steady veteran to share the backfield with; help efficiency without threading to takeover 200-225 touches is realistic. TD distribution will be key. Should be in the RB24-30 range

Matt Hicks @theffeducator.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

Agreed, Burks has more proven ability to win downfield from what I’ve seen on tape but Branch has the skill set despite low aDOT and gadgety usage. Also a big difference that could emerge: I think Branch is a top 40 draft pick. Burks likely round 3

010

Matt Hicks @theffeducator.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

I view Branch as better off the release, more explosive through his cuts and working laterally. I think the key difference is Branch’s YAC ability, he’s got loose hips and turns upfield well. I like Burks too but he does more of his damage before the catch. Both likely slot guys who could move a bit

Matt Hicks @theffeducator.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

I think he’s a sneaky good late round pick. Good hands and surprising turn and catch ability for his size. Uses his frame to create a wide catch radius. Blocking technique is underdeveloped but that could help his fantasy impact

This is disguising behavior by someone with such a large platform. Pat McAfee is not journalism. ESPN supporting this and featuring him on Gameday is just another sign of how far the platform has strayed from real sports coverage
