It’s time to put away the toys and hobbies and get down to business as Jeff Mans reveals his blueprint to winning our fantasy football leagues in 2025. His draft plan or “MANSifesto” is live in print form over on Fantasy Guru dot com, but Jeff provides an audio version here that covers the round-by-round selections. In each round, Mans provides the best values, biggest risks, draft pockets, best upside, and a player he is avoiding. Along the way, he drafts two teams. One that he calls the “perfect draft,” in which, if everything falls perfectly, that is the optimal team. Then he takes the All-Mans Team, which is comprised of players he likes most at those given spots. This week, he also discusses his recent road trip to Las Vegas, the Circa Survivor and Millions contests, and some NFL training camp news. Jeff also does an impromptu scouting report on a running back that is making big waves this summer and who reminds him of another seventh-round RB who broke out in Isiah Pacheco. This running back also comes with his very own self-imposed nickname, so he fits right in.

It’s the episode we’ve all been waiting for, where Jeff Mans reveals the secret code name player of this fantasy football season. Mans takes us through the history of how an off-the-cuff gimmick became one of the most anticipated announcements of the NFL calendar year. He reflects on previous years’ decisions and how those results shaped this year’s player. He also discusses why Julius Pepperwood is the perfect code name for this year's player. Then we take a journey through this player’s five-year NFL career and look at all the numbers he has generated going into 2025. Jeff reveals how offseason events have lined up to position this player for a big fantasy season. He takes a look at the current ADP and then uses historical data to show how Pepperwood will easily outproduce that low draft spot. Once this episode goes public, the draft stock is going to rise, but that is all baked into his projection for this season. Remember that from here on out, we do not speak the NFL player’s name and instead call him by his new moniker, “Julius Pepperwood,” at least until our fantasy drafts are done this year.
