Pausing "32 Teams in 32 Days" for an announcement. As some of you might have noticed, this page looks a little different today. After nearly two years at Pro Football Network, I'm taking on a new job beginning next week.
When PFN offered me the fantasy director position in September 2021, they had one condition: get rid of this page. They could see it was a vibrant, engaged community, and (in fairness to PFN) they didn't want me to continue writing FF4W content when my top priority would be PFN content.
In response, I had one condition for taking the job: keep this community intact, and co-brand it as "Pro Football Network, powered by Fantasy Football for Winners." As you can guess, my condition won out.
Because this community is too important to discard for a job -- even a "cool" job like fantasy football director for a sports media company. And as a result, we've continued to build something pretty special these past two seasons.
My latest career move is not intended to be temporary. I have no interest in re-engaging in sports media professionally. FF4W has always been a community-focused hobby, and I expect it will remain that way as long as you all keep coming back. PFN was a blip. FF4W is for life.
This means the Fantasy Football for Winners Twitter page (@_FF4W) is back. The FF4W Premier Fantasy Football League will return for a fifth season (ping me if you want to take one of the final available spots). And I'm 98% sure I'll be doing pre-draft rankings again; will confirm in the next week or two.
Several of you have asked about advisory services. I'll keep that pretty streamlined -- perhaps one service for customized rankings, and another for on-call, text-anytime fantasy advice thru Week 18. More on that later this month.
Apologies for devoting a column to personal/professional news. But I want to make sure you all understand the logic behind it, and why my commitment to this group is unshakeable.
Carry on, and see you all tomorrow for a discussion on the Atlanta Falcons, and why Desmond Ridder is the most undervalued fantasy quarterback.
