    DK Metcalf severely overrated.

      Top 10 in yards and YPG despite not being top 20 in receptions. #1 target on leading passing attack in the NFL! Where would you put him so far this season?

    good lists! It is SO weird to see no Mahomes and weird to see a losing QB on best QB/MVP list....but it is correct!

    Curious who your first couple receivers off the list were! I think there is an argument for Diggs or Flowers > Nabers based on the last four weeks. Good work as always my friend

      I do think you can have an argument! I however think Nabers has a slightly more consistent production week to week when he is healthy. Though missing a couple weeks you can argue that should lower him. For me, Jayden Reed and George Pickens also were under consideration.

Post Lottery 2024 NBA Mock Draft 1.0

  Atlanta Hawks: Alex Sarr, 7'1", F/C, Perth In a draft where there's not a 100% consensus #1 pick, Sarr is the closest thing to it. Sarr seems like a good fit to pair with Trae Young and can form a good young front court duo with Okungwu. Sarr shows good upside as a versatile defender and has some shooting upside Washington Wizards: Ron Holland, 6'6", W/F, Ignite My personal #1 prospect in this draft class, Holland offers a higher upside than any other prospect for the Wizards in this spot. A good slasher and transition player, Holland shows All-Defensive potential. His shot leaves a lot to be desired right now, but I think he can grow into a capable shooter. For an organization with perhaps zero building blocks (Coulibaly?), Holland gives Washington fans a prospect to get excited about. Houston Rockets: Donovan Clingan, 7'2", C, UConn Rockets are in a weird spot here where they do not have any glaring needs. A lot of this depends on what they envision h...

2024-25 NFL Hot Takes

A week from today we will get to watch NFL football! With that fact I feel like it is a great time to share some of my " hot takes " for the upcoming NFL season. Let me know your thoughts and any hot takes that you may have! 1. The Seattle Seahawks are the #1 seed in the NFC I am very high on the Seahawks and think they can be a legit contender if everything clicks. I am a believer in the offense as I think Geno Smith is a very underrated QB, their WR trio is top 5 in the league, Kenneth Walker III will have a breakout year, and I think they have talented pieces on the defensive side. They compete in maybe the best division in the NFL but I would not be surprised to see Seattle come out on top. 2. Kyler Murray is the NFL MVP Kyler is finally healthy. With the arrival of MHJ he has a true #1 WR for the first time since DeAndre Hopkins. Couple this with the fact that the Cardinals defense is projected to be abysmal, expect the Cardinals to rely on Kyler to put up gaudy...
