Hi Ben. New subscriber here. Really appreciate this collection of evergreen content all in one location. I’m mowing through it all at a pretty good clip.
Do you have any articles talking about how amateur fantasy football players can best spend their time and attention to take their game to the next level? Obviously devouring your content is essential, but in terms of developing our own takes and how to apply them appropriately in our leagues, what else should we focus on?
Do you recommend deep dives on player profiles? Combing through advanced stats and projections to develop some numerical literacy? Is there merit in watching condensed games from last year or even some player-specific film? Mock draft a ton?
I’m sure it all helps, but I’d love to get your thoughts on what would best help us separate ourselves from the pack in home leagues. Thanks!
It doesn't change too much, no. I'll write more about it, but I'm pretty bearish on those two profiles becoming big-time producers, especially out of the gate, and I also think they do different things than Reed. I think you're talking about guys who are ancillary producers and are more about replacing other routes in the offense, in a way that isn't a major change to Reed's outlook versus if Watson/Doubs/Wicks were running those routes.
i haven't been clicking Golden or Reed at 77/78 because that is a weird spot on UD but if i had to choose it would be Golden. they spent a rare first rounder on WR and he will probably stay on the field in two WR sets which they refuse to do with Reed.

One thing I was wondering if your thinking had changed on at all: Jayden Reed and the Packers WR room in general.
In your TPRR article you were bullish on Reed, does that change at all with the additional competition from Golden + Savion?
