Well Ben, every year you self criticise your work this time of year and say you’re out of steam and yet you produce continuously exceptional (and engaging!!) analysis. Well done as always - those of us fighting through the tape appreciate it!
I traded away Ja'marr Chase (my keeper for 2 years) & Kareem Hunt to the Pacheco owner for DHop & Gibbs about 2 weeks before Pacheco came back, and have been feeling like it was a wash at best so far. But this run out for Gibbs is exactly why I made the trade - and I credit that to your pounding the table for leaning into uncertainty and ceiling outcomes. It's not a move I would have made a few years ago.
I made playoffs with 3/3 teams this year and have 2/3 in the semis, both Gibbs teams. Regardless of how they finish, it's been a good season. Thanks as always, Ben.
General question that I'd love your opinion on Ben - do you think the decrease in RB injuries this year is just variance or the start of a larger trend? My initial instinct was variance, but thinking about it more I don't know if I gave enough credit to lighter boxes, more space, and/or smaller defenders.
Also totally get it if you'd prefer some time off answering questions with all the work you've been putting in. Happy holidays and cheers to a great year of content - always appreciate it!
Hey Ben - curious if you can take a deeper look at Macmillan and see if he is now playing the Godwin role. When everyone was hurt including Evan’s some speculated he could assume that role. It’s important to me because I’m pretty stuck at WR in a .5 PPR league (lost aiyuk rice and waddle sucks) so it’s him vs Calvin Ridley or Jayden reed for me. Does Rudolph give Ridley some volatility? Help is appreciated- PS I’m 100% exposed to bucky and chase brown. You crushed it with those 2 this year
Thanks for everything this year Ben, it's been great following along and I've certainly enjoyed it all thoroughly!!
thank you Ben, superb writeup to end the season. Hope you and yours have a great holiday. best, jd

I’ll try to dig into that a little more for input volatility this week but I do like Ridley more with Rudolph, and he’s my immediate lean
