Hey everybody this is obviously

, but I felt really compelled to just send you all some love from Tags account today. The
#SuperBowl
marking the official end of the season and I thought it was special for you all to see his name come up today…
You’ll always have a place in my heart. I couldn’t have asked for a better friend for almost 10 years. I’m going to miss you. Rest In Peace, my friend. Buddy (2009-2019)
#Jets
HC Adam Gase earlier this week: "You're finally going to see what this offense could've been with everyone healthy."
A few moments later...
The Jets scored 3 points today.
Removing situation (talent only), here are my top 20 quarterbacks RIGHT NOW (not ever):

I have so much respect for the
@gmfb
crew and just wanted to share why.
In today's world, hot takes tend to draw attention. They don't resort to hot takes to get views. They deliver top-notch information, do it in an entertaining way, and have some of the best chemistry.
Corey Davis will be playing tonight with a heavy heart. His older brother and former NFL player, Titus Davis, passed away from a rare form of kidney cancer on Wednesday.
RIP Titus Davis
*NEW* The Primer: Week 1 Edition. There's a note for every single one of you atop this one. Thank you for allowing me into your weekly routine. A paragraph on every player from every game. WR/CB matchups, historic stats, performance, etc. FREE right here:
Are we *really* shocked that the Packers, you know, the team who traded up to draft a QB in the first round with Aaron Rodgers under contract for three years, made a poor decision that cost them the game?
Many have asked for this prior to the weekend, so here you go. My updated
#fantasyfootball
tier lists for each position. I don't draft by overall, which is why there isn't an overall list. Be like water and remain fluid throughout your draft. Best of luck!
ANNOUNCEMENT: I will be releasing “The Primer: Draft Day Edition” this year. It’s going to be a monster (40k-plus words). You’ll have a paragraph on every fantasy relevant player from every team. I’m working my hardest to get this done for you guys/gals by the end of this week.
Hey guys, if you can send your best this guy’s way, I’d appreciate it. Buddy is legitimately a rock in our family and despite being healthy all his life, he’s seriously ill out of nowhere. Any positive thoughts/vibes are welcomed.
The Bears may have had a good draft, but when you realize they cut LT Charles Leno and CB Kyle Fuller, yet still have Jimmy Graham on the roster (who would save them $7 million by cutting), they're still doing Bears-like things.
Happy that
@MatthewBerryTMR
offered to talk with me man-to-man after our exchange earlier. After talking over the phone, we both agreed that more positivity is needed in today’s world. We don’t want to contribute towards the negativity. So, only 2 more Thursdays without football!
Fun fact: Since Ryan Fitzpatrick took over the
#Dolphins
starting job for good in Week 7, here's a list of wide receivers who scored more fantasy points than Devante Parker:
Michael Thomas
That's it.
To those getting muted today... Imagine having a bad day at your job and knowing you are, but someone runs up to you, calls you a moron, and proceeds to tell you you’re bad at your job. Everyone has bad days. Don’t be that person.
Every now and then, I just need to stop, look around, and appreciate everything. Through all the chaos of the season/offseason, I don't want to forget to remind you that I'm so incredibly thankful for all the support you guys/gals give me. Wouldn't be here without you.
#Falcons
WR Calvin Ridley saw five fewer targets than Davante Adams this year. He finished with the exact same number of yards (1,374) but had nine touchdowns compared to Adams' 18 touchdowns.

A full paragraph on EVERY

Historical stats, WR/CB matchups, comparable player performances, unique stats. 40K words this week.
Also, it's FREE. Please enjoy.
Just went and re-watched all of Odell Beckham's targets from Week 1. He's still the same player he always was. Baker Mayfield's accuracy was horrendous. This could've easily been a 100-plus yard game for OBJ vs. a tough secondary. You can already see the frustration.
#Browns
I’ve always believed negative breeds negative and that positive attracts positive. Every single one of you who wished/prayed/thought of Buddy the last few days... words can’t say how much I appreciate you. I’m incredibly happy to say he’s coming home. Thank you.
Believe me when I tell you that there’s nothing I want more than for your fantasy teams to do well. I seriously couldn’t care less about my own. I’m here for you first, so when I miss a few calls, it hurts me just as much as it does you. We’ll bounce back strong, that I know.
If Mac Jones goes to the 49ers and completes 67.5 percent of his passes, averages 8.23 yards per attempt, and has a 1.96 TD to INT ratio, that'd be great right?
Well, those are Jimmy Garoppolo's stats. The
#49ers
aren't drafting a player they already have on the roster.
#Texans
fans waking up to the reality that they made this trade:
DeAndre Hopkins at 3 years, $40 million
In exchange for
Brandin Cooks at 3 years, $36.5 million
David Johnson at 2 years, $18.2 million
2022 4th round pick
*NEW* THE PRIMER: DRAFT DAY EDITION
If there's one article you read by me this offseason, make it this one. A full paragraph on EVERY
#fantasyfootball
player from EVERY team. I do this article every week during the regular season. Sure hope you enjoy it:
Me: You watched the Dolphins with me this week.
Wife: Ugh, yeah.
Me: They play the Patriots this week, with AB. What do you think the line is?
Wife: 49?
Me: Not the total. The line.
Wife: (silence)
Me: It’s 17.5, which is pretty big.
Wife: I’m surprised it’s not 49.
Wanna hear a crazy stat?
Over their last 16 games (playoffs included), Mitch Trubisky (19) has thrown more touchdowns than Jared Goff (18). This is not a compliment for Trubisky.
Jameis Winston looks like garbage: “He’s bad at football. Why is he still a thing?”
Cam Newton looks like garbage: “He must be hurt.”
Marcus Mariota has a good game: “He’s healthy now!”
Guys, not every quarterback is Patrick Mahomes or Tom Brady. They’ll have bad games.
As I close in on 75K followers, I want to say thank you for all the support over the years. I remember having one of my co-workers follow me just to hit the 500-follower mark years ago. You've helped me get where I wanted to go in this industry. Forever grateful.
Guys, what if David Johnson is about to be traded? I know, it seems like the signings of Morris/Zenner are simply depth, but this is a team that's in rebuild mode.
I'm not saying this is a fact, just speculating at the possibility.
I’ve had a lot of people asking for cheat sheets, so I put this together. However, if you want to see me break down rankings/tiers for EVERY position, the links will be right below this (in the thread).
My daughter turned 18 years old today, and let me tell you, it’s surreal. Even though you know they’ll eventually grow up, you’re never quite ready to believe/accept it. Happy birthday, Alyssa!
That's my guy

with his dad in one of the coolest moments a dad/son combo could ask for. Congrats, Mr. Sylvester and thank you for your 33 years of service.
To celebrate his retirement after 33 years of service to our country, Colonel Robert A. Sylvester from
@LukeAFB
threw out today's ceremonial first pitch.
What he didn't know was his son flew in last night from Illinois to catch it.
Thank you for your service, Col. Sylvester!
#Saints
RB Alvin Kamara finished as the No. 1 running back in half-PPR formats despite receiving just 187 carries. Over the last 10 years, no running back had finished No. 1 or No. 2 with fewer than 256 carries. STUD.
I tested positive for Covid late last week and have been dealing with severe symptoms (yes, I’m vaccinated). The quarantine timeline would’ve allowed me to go on Saturday, but it’s way too close for comfort with so many people attending.
Our family can’t thank you all or
@FantasyPros
enough for your love and support this past year. I love reading all of your comments even to this day remembering Tags and talking about those who miss him and the impact he had on your life.
I'm going to be the football analyst version of Tupac. Even after I'm gone,
@FantasyPros
is going to be putting out unreleased articles for years.
#TooManyWords
I just wanted to stop and say thank you to every one of you. We aren’t always going to agree, but I appreciate the support y’all give me. You keep reading/listening, I’ll keep grinding. That’s my vow to you. Just wanted you to know I appreciate you and I’m not here without you.
This is my first article with over 1,000 retweets. Thank you all so much. My promise to you is that the Primer will continue to get better as each week goes on. Love you guys.

Ben Shapiro: "If you had to work more than one job to have a roof over your head or food on the table, you probably shouldn't have taken the job that's not paying you enough. That'd be a you problem"
I hope everyone has a great time. Have a drink for me. I’ll see you next year. 🍻
*this is also why I’ve been silent on here the last 6 days, but don’t worry, I’ll get better and be back soon.
I'm likely going to hit 50K followers today and want to start thanking you in a more personal way considering how much you've done for me. I'll be calling five followers who retweet this and follow me to have a 20-minute conversation about any questions you have for this season.
If you were to combine all of the quarterbacks who threw a pass in 2020 into one, you’d get a 93.5 QB Rating. That’s higher than the career marks of Joe Montana, Andrew Luck, Dan Marino, Brett Favre, and Troy Aikman.
You can no longer compare QBs from different eras.
Alvin Kamara, Dalvin Cook, David Montgomery, and Derrick Henry.
What do these four RBs have in common?
They're the only running backs who finished with more 24.8-plus PPR point performances than Christian McCaffrey this year.
McCaffrey played just three games this season.
The Packers first- and second-round picks amounted to two touches in a game they DEMOLISHED the Vikings. This team could've been great if they'd added players who could contribute now, you know, while Aaron Rodgers is in his prime.
How in the world do we have this multi-billion-dollar sport and not have a camera that is ABOVE the goal line? Blows my mind every single time I see a play like that Dalvin Cook touchdown.
There are times you wish you were in a dream... a nightmare that you hope to open your eyes from and just know that it was all just a dream. Sometimes, you don't wake up.
Hey gang, I put my heart and soul into The Primer every week. If you have a start/sit question on your
#FantasyFootball
team, I promise that it has a full paragraph on each player you’re considering. It’s also FREE:
I’d like to wish a happy birthday to the love of my life. The one who continually brings out the best in me and the one who is responsible for me following my dreams. This was the day god sent me an angel. Love you,

Enjoy this day with your family and friends and just know I appreciate all of you more than words can express and I wish you all love, peace, and happiness!
There have been just 12 quarterbacks in NFL history who’ve thrown 400 passes and five or less interceptions in a single season. Aaron Rodgers has now done it four times.
#Packers
Cam Newton just signed for $550K with the Patriots. This is your reminder that the Bears signed Mike Glennon to a 3-year, $45 million contract just a few years ago. Also, the Cardinals signed Sam Bradford to a 2-year, $20 million contract.
The NFL transitioning to Zero QB?
My little girl isn’t so little anymore. Graduated high school this weekend. Man, it’s something to watch them grow up in front of your eyes. So incredibly proud of her.
Jaguars did all they could to trade RB Leonard Fournette in the spring and then again this summer. But as Jaguars’ HC Doug Marrone said today: "We couldn't get anything, a fifth, a sixth, anything. We couldn't get anything."
