Are the 3 Most Explosive Offenses Huge Fantasy Traps?

Hey, it's Ryan Reynolds here for Mint Mobile. Now, I was looking for fun ways to tell you that Mint's offer of unlimited premium wireless for $15 a month is back. So, I thought it would be fun if we made $15 bills, but it turns out that's very illegal.
So, there goes my big idea for the commercial. Give it a try at mintmobile.com/switch.

Up from payment of $45 for three months, $90 for six months or $180 for 12 month plan required, $15 per month equivalent, taxes and fees extra, initial plan term only, greater than 50 gigabytes may slow when network is busy, C terms.
Shawn Grill's been about his projections. That's what we're gonna do on Stealing Bananas today. I'm Ben Gretch. You can find the Stealing Signals newsletter at vangretch.substitle.com with me. As always, it's Shawn Siegel. You can find all of his great work at RotoViz. Just let me know he's been working on some long pieces that will be hitting your pages soon. So make sure you are subscribed for the upcoming season at RotoViz. I'm deep into my projections process, not quite done. A handful of teams left, more than three quarters of the way there. And Shawn, you and I, we didn't know what we would record about today. We've been chatting. This is the time of year where, especially as you're coming out of, you're taking a little bit of time. We had talked a ton. Our pre-show talks, they get long. I know the listeners hate when I say this because they're like, why don't you guys just press record? But we were chatting before a lively conversation. It went four hours.
We're going to talk about the projections a little bit. There's some players that you want to check with me on. There may be some references to stuff that we already discussed. I will say, I really enjoyed our pre-show conversation, that it's just impossible for us to then do again. Some of that, it's not that we didn't press record because we don't want to share it with you guys or anything. It's just that we chat more casually before we record, and sometimes it just builds. It's organic and what have you. Then there's stuff that we talk about and we're like, man, that would have made for great stuff on the show. Anyway, it doesn't end up happening.
Then what we've learned over the years is when we try to recreate it for the actual show, it's not as great. Just let these things be separate and you guys hear the stuff that we do while we're recording, and that's the way that it works. Obviously, we do that well enough because you guys are willing to come back and keep listening to us. But one of the takeaways I had from the pre-show recording, not to rub it in to the people that get bummed that we didn't get to listen to it, but we were in lockstep on a lot of stuff. We have a lot of really fun stuff to talk about and a lot of cool stuff upcoming. It's a very fun landscape to attack this year. As I'm finishing up my projections process and as you're doing a ton of research that you're doing yourself, I don't want to share some of the stuff that you were telling me, but I love some of the unique little things that you're doing right now that are really, really fun. We were having a great time sharing some little different insights and stuff, but I was pleased to find out that we're seeing a lot of it very similarly, which doesn't mean that we're going to be fully in agreement on everything and all that stuff. I got some feedback people enjoyed that we disagreed on some stuff in our last show and that we should do more of that. And I gave them the same feedback I always give, which is that we either agree or disagree organically. The fact that we play similarly is what it is. People always love when we disagree and give both sides, and it's not as good of radio when we just agree.

Well, Ben, one of the things, too, that was kind of interesting is part of that conversation last week, I felt with the AI tools that are out there now, they can help you do some data things because they can go through some of the game by game numbers that NFL verse has out there that is freely available.
They can go through, they can compile some of that stuff, they can work with it. This question of how much risk is there for rookies versus some other players, all of that. There are numbers on that. I would like to put that into a piece.
