Tampa Bay's Bucky Irving is 1 of 3 players who I think you should avoid early this draft season.

All — I run a pick'em pool modeled after the Westgate SuperContest format (5 picks against the spread each week, cumulative points, run over the full NFL regular season). This will be year 5 running it, we had 51 entries last year and I'm looking to grow toward 75+ this season since a bigger pool means bigger payouts.

How it works:

• $102 buy-in ($100 toward pool, $2 fees)
• 5 picks/week against the spread, due 1PM ET Sundays
• Scoring: win = 2 pts, push = 1 pt, loss = 0 pts
• Standings tracked all season on the website
• Payouts scale with entries — last year with 51 entries it was $2,750 for 1st, $1,300 for 2nd, plus three $350 mini-contests for best record in weeks 1-6, 7-12, and 13-18
• Full tiebreaker rules if it comes down to it (reverse-week win comparison, split if still tied)

Why I'm posting: I've run this for 5 years with the same core group, but we've got room to grow and figured I'd open it up. Happy to answer questions about how the pool's run, past payout history, or anything else — I'd rather people feel good about joining than just take my word for it.

If you're interested, comment or DM me and I'll send the join link.

Tampa Bay's Emeka Egbuka is part of strong group of second-year players who look to build off their rookie seasons.

People asked how they could keep up with my latest news and notes, so posting my latest YouTube video - I will also drop Spotify & Apple in Replies.

People asked me if there was a good way to get all the news I’ve been posting - here’s that with some numbers attached to it.

I'm doing a bestball draft today which is ultraflex - every position can be a WR/RB/QB/TE what would your strategy be for this? Just super heavy on WRs or whatever falls? If I don't get a good QB I guess I just never draft one right?

Had a few owners drop out due to being inactive/not wanting to carry on. I'm the commissioner of a free league using the Sleeper app - start 9, SF, PPR. I will attach the teams in the comments. Looking for active owners so we can start the rookie draft ASAP.
