    We have covered a lot of ground this summer and have broken down rankings, done best ball drafts, highlighted sleepers and busts and it can get a little overwhelming.  So, I want to shrink the narrative a bit and get back to what fantasy football is at its core.  Whether you have one fantasy team or a dozen, it’s always smart to diversify, but sometimes you got to follow your gut and go all-in on certain players.  That can be the difference between a successful fantasy season where you are in the money and one where you come up just short in every league.  No one can control the chaos that reigns every season, but if you can scrape a few edges together, it goes along way towards helping you navigate the ups and downs that occur week-to-week.  Last season, I was all-in on Nico Collins and got him in every league.  For the first five weeks I looked like a genius and was dominating all my leagues and then the wheels fell off.  The game is the game.  This isn’t an exact science, but there are trends you try and get ahead of.  James Cook was another player I loved as he had nearly 1500 all-purpose yards two seasons ago, but almost no TDs.  Everything broke his way last season and he tied for the league-lead in rushing TDs. So it’s all about potential value and untapped production.  We are looking for players who might be mispriced in the market and have a change to outperform their ADP or at least move up into another tier.  If we can ensure we get these players in our drafts, it provides a massive advantage over the rest of our league, but the most important part is we have to bold and right.

    The path for Prescott to return to elite fantasy QB consideration is clear as day for the upcoming season. He’s well removed from a grade-3 hamstring strain that ended his 2024 season in Week 9, and he finished as the QB3 overall in the year prior. Now, he enters 2025 with arguably the most receiving talent he’s had to work with on offense in his career. The team added George Pickens via trade this off-season, and he’s slated to be one of the best WR2s for fantasy football going forward, akin to Tee Higgins, Davante Adams and Devonta Smith. The team’s offensive line is a bit of a reconstruction project, but I’m hopeful their rookies can come in and make an immediate impact in their pass protection. In the backfield, there is a hodgepodge of middling ball-carriers fighting for RB opportunities, potentially indicating the team’s clear intention to throw the leather off the football in 2025. While new coach Brian Callahan may prefer a more balanced approach to the offense, the team’s talent and asset allocation should sway him to put the ball in the air more often than not. Either way, it’s likely almost all the scoring in this offense will go through Prescott, who I believe is a lock for 40+ scores this season. He will challenge Joe Burrow for the best pocket passing fantasy QB title this season.
