Good morning.

And thank you to those of you who checked in on my mental health after the Browns named Deshaun Watson their starting QB…

Over the last two years, among 78 qualifying QBs, Shedeur Sanders' 2025 performance ranked 77th in EPA per pass play. The only performance that was worse statistically? Watson's 2024, which ranked 78th (h/t The Ringer’s Sheil Kapadia). Not only is he a freak, but he’s also objectively terrible at football.

But enough about me and my misery… on today’s newsletter, we’re getting you ready for much happier times. These next couple weekends are when most leagues will have their drafts, so today we’re comin’ at you with 10 tips to help you win the big day.

Let’s get after it…

One lump of coal holds six separate commodities, and almost every company just sets it on fire. Frontieras North America patented a way to pull diesel, jet fuel, fertilizer, and many more out of the same ton of coal, without burning any of it. Their tech can make coal up to 10X more valuable.

One rock. Six markets totaling $2.1 trillion annually. Patents across nine countries protect the process, too, meaning no competitor can replicate and cut into that revenue once it's flowing. 

Six revenue streams from one raw material means no dependence on a single commodity swinging the wrong way. Invest in Frontieras before the opportunity ends 8/27.

We highlight this as our top tip every year because it’s probably the most important one. Before showing up to your draft, you have to know your league settings—how many teams? Is it PPR? Superflex? Four or six points per pass TD? TE-Premium? IR spots? How many FLEX spots? That’s all critical to how you draft and will determine which positions become more or less of a priority.

But where you can gain the biggest edge is in ADP discrepancies. Fantasy Life’s ADP Tool is awesome for this—you can compare ADPs across the three main platforms (ESPN, Sleeper, and Yahoo) for free, or more platforms with FantasyLife+. In his article, Berry highlighted the following…

Add some of these guys to your queue once you get in the draft room so you can keep an eye on them until you’re close enough to pounce (don’t be that person that doesn’t start thinking about their pick till they’re on the clock, then panics).

It also really helps to test out some Mock Drafts ahead of time. My personal preference is using the Sleeper app because of how quickly you can rip through them, but if you’re drafting on a different platform, it might be wise to do a mock on their site with their default rankings.
