If it weren’t for actual work, I’d be knee deep in ATC projections, interSD, intrawhatwhoseits, etc…is there anything better than ATC release day?! Ok sure, maybe lots of things, but I enjoy it thoroughly. And a day early this year! Good lord.

Ariel, I continue to be very appreciative of your work. Listening to you break down player valuations and draft strategy is my piece of heaven. Thank you, sir!

Wow, I’m so glad that you enjoy my work. Thank you so much for commenting and letting me know.

Yup, there’s so much to dive into and so little time. I’ve honestly not had the time to pour over ATC to find nuggets yet – it was a mad dash just to get them out this year!

But the fun starts now …
