i will do this once because it feels necessary:

i am herms, a human who is paid to write about fantasy football. i focus mostly in redraft and dynasty strategy/theory.

if that is of interest to you as well, i will be sharing thoughts about the subject and links to stuff i do on here.

that is all.
Herms is feeling sick, unfortunately, but that didn't stop two of my best pals in @fftylero.bsky.social and special guest co-host @wyattbff.bsky.social from delivering an excellent new episode of the Crossing Routes Podcast (fueled by @ftnfantasy.com):

officially through S1 and into S2 now. thus far, my favorite character is Capt. Holt (RIP Andre Braugher), but honestly the entire ensemble works very well together.
UPDATE: I've started watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine for the first time.

honestly cannot remember the last time I was this exhausted. is hibernation allowed for humans or is that frowned upon?

November's been bleh. if I've seemed moody/grumpy lately, it's because I have been. gotta own that — my bad. idk, I get that people tune out the deeper we get, but this season is the first time I've just felt... ignored? true or not tho, it's no good reason to be a dweeb. I hope everyone is well. 🙏❤️

It's vital to be up to speed on the incoming rookie class in fantasy football. The more you do, the less of a shock draft season it is.

Luckily, @brocktalksff.fantasynowplus.com is on the case with his first look at some names to know for the '26 NFL Draft QBs

2026 Rookie Quarterback Prospects to Watch
You hear it all the time, but it bears repeating - dynasty is a year-round fantasy football game. Every week, subtle changes in the dynasty market force managers to react. I've even written a few…

what's most annoying is that I've seen (some) arguments from people suggesting that talent is "gatekeeping" for creative arts or something. idk man, sometimes being good at/inclined toward a skill is required! I'm not that good at drawing, but I don't harbor weird resentment toward those who can!

Are you new to playing fantasy football and unsure what things like "air yards" and "WOPR" mean? Advanced metrics sound intimidating, but this week's 'Five Tips' explains a few of those key stats in plain terms. Check it out at @fantasypoints.com:

I usually wake up and get directly to work, and that means I typically just wear my glasses until I hit a good stopping point in the late afternoon. odd, especially because I vastly prefer contact lenses. not sure how many people even know I wear glasses, but there ya go. herms fun fact.

choosing to emotionally disengage from Pittsburgh Steelers fandom in 2025 is one of the best decisions I've made in my adult life thus far.
