Fantasy football's trade deadline is creeping up- are you ready? Not without these tips, you aren't!

Plus- I am over it. I am numb to their insane brilliance. Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani are... inevitable.

Ok, maybe it is, and no, not everyone's owners' pockets are that deep- but seriously, let's all get used to it.

If you have some of these players in your fantasy lineups, I sincerely hope you're at the top of your league. My Midseason Fantasy Football Awards!

Oh, how I love Tom Izzo and his absolute fearlessness for giving tongue-lashings. This was an all-time great one on former G League players winning eligibility to play D1 basketball!

Plus, George Springer's Greatest Hits compilation keeps going- will him, Vlad Jr., and the gang be able to hang with the Dodgers' billion-dollar superteam?

The Supermeet was fun, getting a medal was great, but the community and support are worth more than anything else could ever be. Thanks for your support, everyone! Link to the stream down below.

Rounding out my Way-Too-Early NFL Honors picks with super (and not-so-super) rookies, and Dak double-dipping? What to do with CMC?

Finally, starting pitching has been historically dominant this year in the postseason. What's the magic formula been- besides "have great arms throw often"?

If you had a Darren Waller 2+ TD ticket, you are probably eating veeeeery well this week. Fantasy Football Friday- top risers at each position!
