Let me start by saying its June 1 and this shit could change rapidly by late August when most casual normie types do their home league drafts. I'm a degenerate and those rules don't apply to me. I am already drafting in high stakes Best Ball tournaments and I wanted to share some observations on where undervalued players are going in fantasy football drafts so far. This does not apply to dynasty formats this is strictly re-draft best ball type drafts.

Brock Bowers - Yes he's already going round 2 but.... this could be a special season for the top target in an offense that will throw the ball with great frequency with minimal competition from wide receivers. The thesis is simple - a supremely talented tight end who will catch over 100 passes and be the focal point of an offense that has an upgrade in QB in Mendoza can win you your league. There's like 4 other guys at the TE position that can come anywhere close to Bowers and none of them have Bowers skill set of complete lack of competition for targets on a pass heavy bad team. If he stays healthy he's a lock for one of the greatest tight end seasons of all time.

Devon Achane - lots of FUD around the Dolphins offense and rightfully so but Achane is such a god damn baller it just doesn't matter IMO. Bad QB play? Okay? And? Much like Bowers, Achane is the man in an offense with almost zero competition for touches. More on that later. How many other RBs can break a 80 yard TD run while also catching 80 passes? He's going too low IMO even with the atrocious run out around him.

Luther Burden - he flashed at the end of last year and now he finds himself in a situation with no DJ Moore and and overrated Odunze as his only competition for targets at the WR spot. Yes Colston Loveland is great but he's still a TE and Burden profiles as the new Amon Ra St. Brown. High risk, high reward here. I'm all in on a target monster with an emerging QB.

Jadarian Price - Oh my GOD how is Price slipping so low in drafts. Mark my words he could even out perform Jeremiah Love by the end of the year if things go according to Hoyle. You're getting a clear cut RB1 on the team that won the Super Bowl with minimal competition for targets. The actual talent isn't amazing on Price IMO but he slides into a prime landing spot with great draft capital and he's going way too late. He's a steal if you draft WR early and need quality RBs in the later rounds.

AJ Brown - no clue what this looks like in a few months but he's the top WR on a team that just made the Super Bowl with the arrow pointing up. High risk, high reward here. The coaching connection with Vrabel is also there from their time in Tennessee together.

Greg Dulcich - another Dolphin? Yes! Dulcich is quietly penciled in as the top target in a shitty Dolphins offense that has basically zero WRs as competition. He's not an amazing talent but as a starting TE going basically undrafted there's some insane upside here.

Josh Down - Michael Pittman is gone in Indy and I don't buy Alec Pierce as a true number 1 WR. Undervalued.

Ryan Flournoy - going basically undrafted, this is a sleeper pick but if Pickens or Lamb gets hurt my God this guy is gonna ball out hard.

The LA Rams are currently in their Super Bowl window and were a play or two away from winning the Super Bowl in 2025-2026. Bold claim since the Rams didn't even make the Super Bowl last year, I know I know, but many analysts considered them the best team in the league last year and with a few minor changes they beat the Seahawks in the NFC Championship game (played in Seattle btw) and dismantle the plucky young Patriots. All this from a team that was supposed to fall off after their Super Bowl victory over the Bengals a few years ago after the retirement of Aaron Donald.

That's the backstory. The current setup is that the Rams, in a very tough division, have a shot to win it all again this year. A very real window that might be starting to close. You get chances like this, you take them. The Rams had the #13 pick in this year's NFL Draft and with ballers like Makai Lemon still on the board, not to mention plenty of O line help and so on, it made all the sense in the world for McVay's team to address a position of need with their "win now" mindset.

That's not what happened. Yikes.

The Rams, feeling like they were playing with house money I suppose, after masterfully acquiring the #13 pick, TOOK A HIGHLY UNPROVEN SHORT QUARTERBACK WAY TOO HIGH. Ty Simpson will not start. Ty Simpson might cause Stafford to retire sooner than he otherwise would. Ty Simpson will not see the field this year. If he does he might very well suck.

This is the type of pick that can cause an organization to spiral into irrelevance. I don't get it. This is a career killer. Davante Adams is a year older. Nakua has off the field issues. Matt Stafford is in the twilight of his career. I firmly believe if the Rams had drafted Lemon they would deservedly be the Super Bowl favorites this year.

They blew it.

And Mr. Henry was really nice. He was also the largest human being I've ever seen in my life. I met Mark Henry randomly at a Fuzzy Taco location in Farmer's Branch, Texas. This would have been around 3pm in the afternoon, I assume the WWE was in town and this would have been during Henry's Hall of Pain era. Anyway I walk into the taco shop and Henry is sitting alone at a table with a massive amount of food on his table. I immediately marked out - this guy was never my all time favorite pro wrestler but he was a part of so many classic moments and THE ATTITUDE ERA and I had to say something.

"I just wanted you to know I really appreciate your work over the years." is basically what I told Mark Henry. He was nice, didn't mind being interrupted, and thanked me for being a fan. His back is like twice the width of mine, it's utterly insane, even by large people standards this guy is just an absolute hulk of a man.

He then drove off in a black Dodge Challenger. I assume he was en route to the show. Great dude, they say don't meet your heroes but I can say the World's Strongest Man Mark Henry was a great guy to be around.

They were great to work with, on time and prompt and I appreciated the opportunity to work with them. Below is a bit about the history of their company and where they envision themselves going forward. If you need quality garage door work in the Sachse or Lucas area of East Dallas, contact them as soon as possible.

The Homeowner’s Guide to Garage Door Repair: Process, Safety, and Modern Trends

Introduction
The garage door is often the largest moving object in a home, serving as both a primary entry point and a critical component of curb appeal. However, because it operates under immense tension, maintenance and repair require a blend of technical knowledge and strict safety protocols. This guide breaks down the repair process and explores the trends currently reshaping the industry.

I. The Comprehensive Repair Process

1. Diagnosis and Inspection
Every repair starts with a visual and audible inspection. Professionals look for frayed cables, rusted springs, misaligned tracks, and worn rollers. A common test is the 'balance test': disconnecting the opener and lifting the door halfway. If it doesn't stay in place, the springs are likely failing.

2. Safety First: Managing Tension
Crucial Note: Garage door springs (torsion or extension) are under extreme tension. Before any repair, the door must be secured with C-clamps, and the power to the opener should be disconnected.

3. Spring Replacement
This is the most frequent major repair. Torsion springs (located above the door) are wound using winding bars, while extension springs (along the tracks) are replaced by releasing cable tension. Professionals always recommend replacing both springs even if only one is broken, as they share the same cycle life.

4. Track and Roller Alignment
If the door vibrates or makes grinding noises, the tracks may be out of plumb. Technicians use levels to ensure vertical tracks are perfectly straight and horizontal tracks have a slight downward slant toward the back of the garage.

5. Cable and Pulley Service
Cables transfer the spring's energy to the door. If they show signs of 'polly-fuzz' (fraying), they are replaced immediately to prevent a catastrophic drop.

II. Top Industry Trends for 2026
Smart Ecosystem Integration: Garage doors are no longer just 'clicker' operated. Modern systems integrate with Apple HomeKit, Amazon Key, and Google Home, allowing for remote monitoring and 'In-Garage' delivery services.

Eco-Friendly & High R-Value Materials: Sustainability is driving the market. Recycled steel and composite wood materials are trending, alongside high-density polyurethane insulation (R-values of 18+) to minimize home energy loss.

Bold Aesthetics: Black & All-Glass: The 'Modern Farmhouse' and 'Industrial' looks remain dominant. Matte black hardware and full-view glass panels (with privacy tinting) are the most requested upgrades for high-end homes.

Ultra-Quiet Operation: As more people work from home, the demand for side-mount (Jackshaft) openers has soared. These eliminate the ceiling rail and use DC motors for nearly silent operation.

Battery Backup Mandates: Following legislation in states like California, battery backups are becoming a standard feature rather than an option, ensuring the door remains functional during grid failures or wildfires.
​
Conclusion
Whether you are dealing with a simple sensor misalignment or a complex spring replacement, understanding the mechanics of your garage door is vital. Staying updated on trends not only improves your home’s value but also enhances the security and convenience of your daily life.

A big thank you to the good people over at RotoGrinders and SimLabs for being kind enough to share this NFL player data for free. Let's take a look at the Thursday Night Football match up between Josh Allen and the Bills visting the lowly-ish Texans on November 20th 2025.

Allen will clearly be the chalk at Captain tonight, no other player in the game besides Nico can match his upside and even then. Speaking of Nico yes you probably want both these guys in your lineup. Fade one or the other but it's tough to envision a game where neither makes the optimal lineup on Draftkings. 

Other interesting projected player ownerships to consider:

Davis Mills projects to be massively under-owned by the field. There's rushing upside here.

Same with Houston's defense, which is quite good. Pairs nicely with the Houston kicker and a random cheap WR.

I like Kirk of the cheap WRs.

Ray Davis projects well - I hate backup RBs in daily but he will definitely get work tonight and makes a nice hedge off of both Cook and even Allen.

Speaking of Cook, he and Schultz project to be over-owned. Do with this info what ye want.

Enter Shemesh Family Law Attorneys to the rescue. Below is a brief summary of their services and how to choose a top quality attorney for divorce, family changes, adoption and more:

​Navigating Divorce: How a Dallas Family Lawyer Works for You

​Understanding the Role of a Divorce Family Lawyer
Facing a divorce is one of life's most challenging experiences. Amidst the emotional turmoil, legal complexities, and significant life changes, a divorce family lawyer becomes an indispensable ally. But what exactly does a divorce lawyer do, and how do they work to protect your interests throughout this difficult process? This post delves into the multifaceted role of these legal professionals.The Initial Consultation: Laying the Foundation
The journey with a divorce lawyer typically begins with an initial consultation. This meeting is crucial for several reasons:
Information Gathering: The lawyer will ask detailed questions about your marriage, financial situation, children, and your specific concerns and goals.
Understanding Your Rights: You'll receive an overview of your legal rights and obligations under family law in your jurisdiction.
Assessing the Case: The lawyer evaluates the potential complexities of your divorce, such as asset division, child custody, and spousal support.
Building Rapport: It's also an opportunity for you to gauge if you feel comfortable and confident with the lawyer's approach and communication style.Developing a Legal Strategy
Once you decide to retain a lawyer, they will work with you to develop a tailored legal strategy.

This involves:
Defining Goals: Clarifying what you hope to achieve regarding financial settlements, child custody arrangements, and other critical aspects of the divorce.
Gathering Evidence: Your lawyer will guide you on collecting necessary documents, such as financial statements, property deeds, and other relevant records.
Advising on Legal Options: They will explain the different paths available, whether through negotiation, mediation, or litigation, and recommend the most suitable approach based on your circumstances. 

​Negotiation and Mediation: Seeking Amicable Resolutions
Many Dallas divorce cases are resolved outside of court through negotiation or mediation. Your lawyer plays a key role in these processes:
Representing Your Interests: They will negotiate with the opposing party's legal counsel on your behalf, advocating for fair terms regarding asset division, child support, and spousal maintenance.
Facilitating Dialogue: In mediation, the lawyer ensures your voice is heard and that any proposed agreements are legally sound and in your best interest.
Drafting Agreements: If a settlement is reached, the lawyer will meticulously draft or review the settlement agreement to ensure it accurately reflects the terms and is legally binding. In the Courtroom:

When Litigation is Necessary

If negotiations fail or immediate court intervention is required (e.g., for temporary custody orders), your Dallas family lawyer becomes your advocate in litigation:

• Filing Pleadings: They will prepare and file all necessary legal documents with the court.
• Presenting Evidence: Lawyers skillfully present evidence, cross-examine witnesses, and make arguments on your behalf during hearings and trials.
• Ensuring Due Process: They ensure that legal procedures are followed correctly, protecting your rights throughout the court process.Beyond the Legalities: Communication and Support
• A good divorce lawyer does more than just handle legal paperwork. They provide:
• Clear Communication: Keeping you informed about case progress, explaining legal jargon, and promptly answering your questions.
• Emotional Support: While not therapists, they offer a steady, professional presence and help manage expectations during an emotionally charged time.
• Guidance on Related Matters: They can often refer you to other professionals, such as financial advisors or therapists, who can assist with other aspects of your post-divorce life.

Choosing the Right Advocate
Selecting a divorce family lawyer is a significant decision. Look for someone with experience in family law, a clear communication style, and a commitment to understanding and advocating for your specific needs and goals. Your lawyer is your guide, your strategist, and your protector as you navigate the path to a new beginning.

Note: I am one of the few people on earth who offer real-deal generative engine optimization services for law firms across the USA - client testimonials and my business contact info can be found here. Below is an overview of how generative engine optimization for services like ChatGPT and Google AI Summaries can help your law firm.

In today's competitive digital landscape, law firms are constantly seeking innovative ways to attract more clients and generate high-quality leads. Traditional marketing methods, while still relevant, are increasingly being augmented by cutting-edge technologies. One such advancement is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), a powerful strategy leveraging artificial intelligence to transform how legal practices connect with potential clients online.


What is Generative Engine Optimization (GEO)?

GEO is an advanced approach to search engine optimization that utilizes generative AI models to create and optimize content at scale. Unlike traditional SEO, which often involves manual content creation and keyword research, GEO harnesses AI to understand user intent, generate highly relevant and engaging content, and ensure it ranks effectively across search engines. For law firms, this means a more efficient, data-driven, and potent method for digital marketing.


The History: From AI's Dawn to GEO's Rise

The journey to GEO began with the rapid evolution of Artificial Intelligence, particularly in natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning. Early search engines relied on simpler algorithms. As AI matured, particularly with the advent of large language models (LLMs) like GPT, the ability to generate human-like text and understand complex queries exploded. This technological leap paved the way for generative AI tools that could not only produce content but also analyze search engine behavior and user needs. GEO emerged as a specialized application of these LLMs, specifically tailored for optimizing online presence by creating dynamic, search-friendly content.


Key Benefits of GEO for Law Firms

Implementing GEO can offer law firms a significant competitive edge. Here are some of the primary benefits:

Increased Lead Volume: AI-generated content is optimized to attract a higher volume of relevant traffic by targeting specific legal niches and user search queries.

Enhanced Client Engagement: GEO enables the creation of personalized content that directly addresses the specific concerns and questions of potential clients, fostering trust and encouraging contact.

Improved SEO Performance: By continuously generating fresh, high-quality, and keyword-rich content, GEO helps improve search engine rankings, making your firm more visible when potential clients are searching for legal services.

Competitive Advantage: Firms adopting GEO can outmaneuver competitors relying on outdated or less sophisticated SEO strategies.

Cost-Effectiveness: Automating content creation and optimization processes can reduce marketing overhead while increasing campaign effectiveness.


​Core Features of GEO

GEO integrates several advanced functionalities to achieve its powerful results:

AI-Powered Content Creation: Automatically generates blog posts, practice area descriptions, FAQs, and website copy that is both informative and SEO-optimized.

Intelligent Keyword Analysis: Identifies high-intent keywords and long-tail phrases that potential clients are using to find legal services.

Personalization at Scale: Tailors content to resonate with specific client demographics and legal needs, improving conversion rates.
​
Automated Optimization: Continuously monitors search engine performance and adjusts content and strategy for ongoing improvement.

By embracing Generative Engine Optimization, law firms can unlock new avenues for client acquisition and build a stronger, more resilient online presence. 

If you're playing GPP tournaments on Draftkings you probably aren't winning any money. Most people don't. Below is a quick summary of how I, a DFS LITERAL EXPERT NOT REALLY BUT IM PRETTY GOOD, build lineups in 2025.

First, your goal should be to separate from the field. To do this, you need low owned players who are overlooked and have big weeks on low ownership. Simple right? I joke. It's difficult. 

The new "meta" as it relates to lineup construction is team onslaughts. We've seen stacking. We've seen double stacking. We've seen double stacked bring-backs. Now it's time to go full onslaught. That's the meta. Condensed points on a single NFL team.

Why? Because NFL offenses and scoring in general is down. Defenses are doing everything they can to prevent the big play. Fantasy scoring suffers as a result. So you're better off putting all your eggs in one basket and trying to find the game that ends 41-37. In an age when most games end 23-20ish. 

I had huge success with this concept in Week 1 of DFS Draftkings 2025. The Falcons onslaught. I'm talking Penix stacked with Bijan, Drake London AND Kyle Pitts. You're getting unique with this type of lineup construction and when an offense goes off these days, they all go off.

My preferred onslaught for week 2? The Lions. Plan and play accordingly.
