How Scared Should We Be?
An asteroid is coming ...
Feb. 20, 2025 |
PRESENTED BY |
NASA recently reported that there’s now a 3.1% chance that an asteroid will hit Earth in 2032. It is the highest risk assessment for an asteroid that has ever been received. I know it can be difficult to put in perspective what a 3.1% chance actually means, so I figured I’d translate it to some fantasy football and NFL scenarios. | ![]() Pete Overzet |
What Are The Chances?
A 3.1% chance would be roughly equal to the odds of …
Kyle Pitts finishing as a Top 5 TE.
Andy Reid ordering a salad.
Kyle Shanahan sharing an accurate injury report.
Trey McBride scoring a TD.
Ian Hartitz not naming one of his fantasy teams ‘FREEDUKEJOHNSON.”
Stefon Diggs being happy for one of his fellow WRs scoring a TD.
Cooterdoodle not impulsively purchasing a Saints jersey after one vaguely exciting play.
The Patriots drafting a decent WR.
Mike Evans not hitting 1,000 receiving yards.
The Jets winning a Super Bowl in the next 100 years.
Russell Wilson not thanking God for completing a simple check down.
A Bills fan not jumping through a table at a tailgate.
Sean Payton letting an RB carry it two times in a row.
Al Davis drafting a player who ran slower than a 4.3 40-yard dash.
The Browns making a good decision at QB.
Wan’Dale Robinson catching a ball more than 5 yards beyond the line of scrimmage.
Jim Harbaugh throwing on first down.
An egg avatar on X not calling a mobile QB a “running back.”
The Eagles handing the ball off to Saquon Barkley on 4th and goal from the 1-yard line.
Jameson Williams enjoying a quiet, uneventful offseason.
So ya, we should be fine.

Remembering The 2015 NFL Draft Class: Jameis Winston, Todd Gurley, Stefon Diggs, And More
By Chris Allen
There are two types of players in the league: rookies and veterans.
The first group creates excitement. The idea of change is infectious. But the other type is just everyone else. How long you’ve laced up your cleats only matters if you have accolades to go with your experience. Win a Super Bowl or help fantasy gamers take home a title; it’s all the same to us. But let’s spotlight a class instead of lumping them all together.
In 2015, we watched the Broncos’ defense drag Peyton Manning to end his career in storybook fashion, Cam Newton earn an MVP title throwing to Devin Funchess, and Julio Jones amass 1,871 receiving yards. The veterans were the stars of the show. However, the rookies gave us some memorable performances, too.
How did Jameis Winston, Todd Gurley, David Johnson, Stefon Diggs, and Amari Cooper finish up their rookie years. Check out where these and other players from that class performed in the 10 years since. No one needs to remind Ian that Duke Johnson was drafted in this class.
All Rise (And Fall): Dynasty Fantasy Football RB Stock Watch
By Jonathan Fuller and Sam Wallace
Dynasty players, this series is for you. After Jonathan Fuller and Sam Wallace unveiled their Dynasty QB rankings last week, it’s time to look at the running backs. The position had a resurgence last season, with six RBs surpassing 293 PPR fantasy points—only three WRs—and players like Jonathan Taylor and Bucky Irving helped people win fantasy titles with big closing kicks.
Speaking of Irving, he’s one of the players that Jonathan and Sam highlighted in their feature. Which way is the diminutive fourth-round pick of the Buccaneers who totaled more than 1,500 scrimmage yards trending? Read on to find out.
The latest fantasy nuggets, silliness, and NFL gossip from our merry band of football nerds:
🚚 Davante Adams on the move again? He might have company.
⚡️ The Chargers made big strides last season, but need more for 2025.
🏈 Omarion Hampton thought he lost a UNC scholarship to injury. Now he could be one of the top RBs taken in the NFL Draft.
🌍️ The 2025 International games are coming into focus. Look who is headed to Brazil.
🤑 The asking price if Matthew Stafford is traded? Feels steep.
📈 2025 Salary cap update. That’s a big increase.
😆 Maybe the Browns should sign Drake? Nice accuracy.
🤔 Who would Carson Wentz trade places with? Interesting answer.
😰 Speaking of Jamo. He’s in the clear.
