I’m expecting big things from Auburn WR Eric Singleton Jr. this season

He and these four other players should see their value skyrocket 📈

Surprised he hasn’t jumped up yet!

Omarion Hampton's 2025 Projection: A Major Value It sounds simple but a key way my rookie valuation process distinguishes itself is that I prioritize a the player's ability to produce fantasy points early and often. A critical part of that process i...

YouTube video by Rookie Big Board Presented by Matt Hicks Do NOT Draft these 7 Players in College Fantasy Football

Who you DON’T draft is just as important as who you do

7 players myself and @GridironSchol91 are fading at their current ADP in CFF drafts

Just listened to a podcast series on this…we might just be TOO in sync

The Guide to Identifying 2025's Top Freshmen Drafting freshmen in devy fantasy football leagues is tricky. Most managers do not watch high school football tape (don't blame you there) and if you do there is a lack of parity in competition that m...

I wrote about the 11 freshman I am drafting in devy leagues this offseason

More importantly, though, I wrote about *why* I am drafting them

Championships are Won in July I often get asked "how do you watch that many prospects" once someone learns that i study 75-90 prospects each draft cycle. The answer? I start early. July is the prime time to log summer scouting rep...

LaNorris Sellers: A Championship Caliber Prospect I will be honest, I did not want to end up here. It is a tired narrative: fantasy analyst who studies rookies gets excited about a super athletic young quarterback. It would make for a spicier narrati...

I wasn’t sold on LaNorris Sellers before putting together his film review

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

Had a blast mock drafting with @amazehayes.bsky.social 💪

Took a deep dive into draft strategy from the 1.04 and 1.10 slots 👀

A perfect comparison 🤣

very few foods hit like the first burger on the grill of the season

Travis Hunter isn't the only guy who can play both ways

I can’t confirmed they have tried but with WRs starting to be traded elsewhere, I wonder if that’s working 😅

starting to feel like if the Pats want to add a star WR, they are going to have to draft him

still plan for KC to use a Top 100 pick on a RB
