No one wants to miss a pick in fantasy. But is there a way to make it useful? And are there misses you can learn nothing from?

Of course it's way too early! You don't even need to ask. But Adam King set it up, and now we have something fun and silly to talk about before August. It's Industry Mock for 2025... in April... and we're hitting on the top-20 today!

VERY. But why? And how can you overcome a late pick in the round? Is there a secret formula? No, but there are ways to chip away at it, and they happen to correspond with ways to win your league in general.

Even the losers get lucky sometimes! Tom Petty taught us that. But here, Dan didn't get lucky. Dan got burned, and we're going to see why.

Not every team is a titan. Sometimes you can sneak by and grab a third place finish that often makes a few dollars but leaves a weird taste in your mouth. Today, we'll take a look at Dan's trio of not-quite-top finishes and the very clear lessons to take away from these clubs.

The season has ended, but the learning has just begun! On day one of the offseason, Dan looks at his three title-winning squads and finds the best moves made and key lessons to take into next year. Spoiler: it involves winning percentages in roto leagues and leaning into strengths mid-year in head-to-head spots.

Please Luka, don't hurt 'em. But he did. And the fans didn't mind. Doncic dropped 45 on his old team with the fans cheering anyway, and the Lakers picked up a nice win.

Elsewhere, Justin Champagnie is finally being given huge minutes, Philly has a ton of weirdo tanking options, and overload days coming up mean we just need to make sure we get 10 games apiece on Friday and Sunday.

Bobby's home! Portis is back from suspension and with all the bonus usage floating around (no Dame), he's prime to take a bunch of shots. Get him on rosters if he was dropped!
