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.
ate a steak and cheese sandwich for dinner. currently watching AEW Collision. football happens tomorrow. life is good.

anyone who watched 'Receiver' on Netflix should remember that Amon-R St. Brown has played football with an oblique muscle torn off the bone and blisters from an infection on his body before. dude's tough as hell. I'm starting him in lineups tonight idc idc.

ngl, one of the more underappreciated and difficult aspects of being in the fantasy biz/community is knowing that once some people "leave" or stop making content, you won't hear from them again. there are a few folks in specific that I miss sometimes and hope are doing well. makes me sad.

Chuba Hubbard heating up, Michael Wilson cooling off… but that’s just the surface 🤔

@herms.bsky.social dug into the usage data to flag who’s quietly gaining leverage for the fantasy playoffs & who might be turning into a trap.

the Broncos' offense feels so much like those late-stage Saints teams Sean Payton had around 2020/21, and the fact that it works is impressive to me in a bizarre sort of way.
December 1, 2025 at 3:20 AM
it's not often I exclaim "WHAT THE FUCK?!?!" while watching football, but Treylon Burks just made me do it.
December 1, 2025 at 3:06 AM
went over and had myself a nice chicken wing dinner with my family for the first half of the Steelers game. at least that half of the game was fun.
November 30, 2025 at 11:34 PM
not a great game but they talked about Old Bay on a national broadcast so it was worthwhile.

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?
