NFL fantasy football news and player signals for Sunday, July 5, 2026

If I got $1 for every time Ja’Marr Chase scored a TD next season… I’d have _____.

I *think* the player comp tool wants us to know that it believes Zay Flowers is similar to Tyreek Hill Sidenote: Getting two St. Brown comps, considering the offense the Ravens will be moving to this year, is pretty interesting too. [Quoted](

Where are we at with Michael Wilson heading into next season?

Tee Higgins had 21 TDs in his last 27 games.

I call it “fragile RB with the Brock Bowers counter punch”

Last year I told you to draft Keon Coleman. That wasn't a very cool thing to do. I am truly sorry about that.

Josh Allen is Josh Allen but another Round 3 fantasy pick could be anything. It could even be a Josh Allen!

Mentioned as the Broncos' WR2 attempt last year before Waddle trade. Had some serviceable weeks early in season but was not 'it.' Comments note he was manufactured into targets to establish a second option while Sutton was being doubled/tripled. Broncos clearly needed a real WR2, which is why they pursued Waddle.

Broncos traded 1st-round pick to acquire him. Bullish narrative: elite WR who will draw coverage, opening 1v1 looks for Sutton and improving the whole offense. Bearish counter: Waddle is injury-prone (history of tweaks), may not be 'prime Tyreek Hill' caliber, and some comments suggest he looks slower/less twitchy than his rookie season; he was WR12 in separation last year vs. Sutton's WR20. One comment notes Waddle's injury history makes Sutton a hedge play. Consensus: Waddle is the primary target; Sutton's upside depends on Waddle staying healthy and actually opening coverage rather than just diluting targets.

WR13 in PPR last year (1,000 yards) but currently WR35 ADP in mocks; per-game he was WR21 in half-PPR. Bullish camp: massive discount for a proven WR2 with floor upside, especially in best ball where he's falling relative to Waddle. Bearish camp: aging (turns 31 in Oct), had 8 games under 10.6 PPR points last year including 4 under 5, and per-game production was weak despite full-season volume. Consensus tension: does Waddle's arrival open 1v1 coverage or cannibalize targets? Sutton was doubled all season as the only credible option; now either he gets relief or loses volume. Some view him as a stable WR3/flex at 10th-round ADP; others see him as boom-or-bust with a capped ceiling.

Mentioned as undervalued late-round RB option. Comment: 'Mitchell is hella undervalued rn. As a Dolphin fan, I remember what McDaniel was able to do with Mostert and Achane, with both players being startable in fantasy every week simultaneously.' McDaniel's scheme historically elevates RB production.

Chargers QB. One comment: 'The Chargers are literally an entire team of "what if" men. It's not just Herbert.' Another: 'I don't like Herbert and I think he goes downhill this season. No data. Just a feeling.' Positive note: Joe Alt OL addition 'will make this a season to remember for Herbs.' Second-fewest passing yards last season (lowest excluding 13-game injury year).

Chargers brought in Kolar, paid him more than Njoku and Gadsden combined. Expected to be on field a lot for blocking. One comment: 'If he's on the field a lot, it's probably a good thing for WR target share.' Mentioned as part of crowded receiving corps.

Mentioned as part of crowded Chargers offense. One comment: 'Jokes on you losers it's Omarion Hampton who will feast this year.' Another: 'And possibly Hampton in the late 1st lol.' Chargers drafted four OLinemen and traded for two more, suggesting run-game investment. McDaniel scheme typically favors RBs as No. 1 option.

Mentioned as third 'elite guy' by Chargers per one comment. Dynasty interest noted ('Any dynasty guys in on Tre Harris?'). Chargers say they have '3 elite guys' with Harris as 3rd. Too many guys in front of him for redraft; late-flier deep bench only. One comment: 'If it wasn't for injury plagued final year at Ole Miss he probably is a 1st round pick.' Another: 'He's kind of a waste of height but his YAC is nice.'

Mentioned as part of crowded Chargers receiving corps. Comments: 'Njoku looked cooked last year'; 'Njoku is washed.' Appears to be consensus fade among community despite being on roster.

OP states re-signing is 'highly unlikely'; comments strongly disagree, citing 50%+ probability he re-signs for ~$3M/1yr before season. Beat reporter noted 'very likely' he signs. Allen ate into McConkey's targets last year and fell off down stretch. If he re-signs, McConkey value 'collapses' and QJ becomes immediate top-15-20 play. Chargers have 120 vacated targets from Allen; McConkey could get 120 targets in slot if Allen stays gone. Age 34-35; lacks speed for McDaniel scheme; but was highly targeted last season and worked well alongside McConkey.

QJ is severely undervalued and rising in Best Ball ADP with no news catalyst. Multiple comments argue QJ outscored McConkey last year despite worse OL protection; deeper ADOT; better YAC; profiles as X receiver in McDaniel scheme. QJ catch rate 59.5% vs. McConkey's 67.9%, but comments note he 'looked really good last season but was stuck in Roman's scheme.' Late-round dart throw with upside; 'Knights of QJ' meme suggests strong cult following. Risk: volatility and depth-chart competition.

Popper (The Athletic) claims McConkey is 'the No. 1 option' in Chargers passing offense; OP expects bounce-back year with Keenan Allen gone. Comments heavily push back: McConkey going too high in ADP; crowded receiving corps (Gadsden, Njoku, Harris, Kolar, Hampton) limits ceiling; Chargers run-first under Harbaugh; McDaniel scheme favors RBs; McConkey is slot WR so volume depends on Allen staying gone. Catch rate 67.9% vs. QJ's 59.5%. Some see him as high-end WR2 even as lead option; others view him as boom-bust flex. Injury history and hamstring concern noted. If Allen re-signs, McConkey value collapses.

De’Von Achane vs. Keaton Mitchell touches per game by year: Achane (5’9, 191 lbs): + 2023 (rookie): 11.8 + 2024: 16.5 + 2025: 19.1 Mitchell (5’8, 179 lbs): + 2023 (rookie): 7.0 + 2024: 3.2 + 2025: 5.2 We’ve got zero evidence that Mitchell would sustain that efficiency in a real role, and plenty of evidence that he’s not going to just suddenly turn into De’Von Achane

Stefon Diggs vs. DJ Moore’s last 2 season by prior to arriving in Buffalo yards per season, YPRR, and TPRR: + Diggs (2019): 1,114 yds/szn, 2.07 YPRR, 0.22 TPRR on 12.2 aDOT + DJM (2025): 882 yds/szn, 1.35 YPRR, 0.17 TPRR on 9.3 aDOT Expecting DJM to come anywhere close to Diggs’ Buffalo performance feels like major wish-casting

Used as case study in credibility critique. Comment (4 upvotes) notes Lawrence was author's 'biggest hit' last year but for wrong reasons: author cited deep threats (BTJ, Travis Hunter) and Liam Coen's usage, but Lawrence actually succeeds on short-to-midrange reads and slot-receiver productivity—not downfield throws. Illustrates author's analytical gaps.

Article apparently includes Brissett as late-round QB target. Community reaction is tongue-in-cheek: one comment jokes 'Can't wait to grab Jacoby Brissett in round 10'; another (4 upvotes) sarcastically claims they won 1st place with Brissett as QB and calls him 'undisputed GOAT.' Sentiment is humorous/ironic rather than genuinely bullish.

Community questions whether Brooks qualifies as 'sleeper' given his 2nd-round pedigree and known injury history. Comment (0 upvotes) notes Brooks was skilled prospect (2nd-round pick) but injuries have derailed career; risk is already baked into ADP. Reply adds he has 'some appeal' behind good O-line, but overall tone is cautious rather than bullish.

Listed as one of the 12 sleepers in the article. No specific community discussion or pushback in thread.

Article includes Golden as sleeper candidate. One comment (2 upvotes) expresses direct hype: 'Love the Golden hype.' Limited discussion but positive sentiment where present.

Article lists Pacheco as sleeper; community pushes back hard. Top comment (37 upvotes) argues Pacheco is not inheriting the Monty role—that was Ben Johnson's system. Montgomery got 235 and 221 touches under Johnson; after Johnson left, Monty dropped to 182 touches. Pacheco will get significantly fewer touches than people perceive. Additional comment (−16 upvotes) calls Pacheco 'ahhh' after two disappointing KC seasons.

Jakobi Meyers is the Jaguars receiver that scares Jacob Gibbs most; despite being a professional who has drawn targets at every level of his career, his role in the Jaguars' offense is uncertain and he represents a bust risk relative to the league-winning upside of Ridley and Washington.

Calvin Ridley is part of a double-tap strategy with Parker Washington; Jacob Gibbs argues that pairing both Jaguars receivers could yield two players that beat their ADP by 10 spots, potentially returning a WR2 and flex play without paying an exceedingly high draft cost. The Jaguars are priced to succeed across multiple receivers.

Brian Thomas Jr. is stuck on the outside in Jacksonville's offense, which limits his fantasy appeal compared to Parker Washington. His outside alignment reduces catch-and-run opportunities and manufactured carry upside that the team is utilizing for Washington. The Jaguars' offensive scheme under Liam Cohen appears to favor catch-and-run type receivers and design runs, which limits BTJ's role relative to Washington's versatility. ADP has converged between BTJ and Parker Washington, but Washington's slot role and usage pattern make him the more fantasy-friendly option.

Parker Washington became the focal point of Jacksonville's passing game late in the season, posting 18+ PPR points in five of his last seven games including the playoffs. Jacob Gibbs highlights the correct price point and fantasy-friendly usage in the Liam Cohen slot role, with the team discussing moving him around and manufacturing carries. Washington has a much more fantasy-friendly game than Brian Thomas Jr. given his outside alignment; he's built like a running back (short, compact frame) with first-percentile arms and 91st-percentile hands, making him elite in contested catch situations and catch-and-run opportunities. His reception perception charting shows success rate on post routes higher than Jackson Smith-Njigba's and nearly as high on digs and curls, though JSN is superior on quickness/cutting routes. Washington wins with physicality and body control on jump balls and after the catch. If the Jaguars offense continues to perform well under Liam Cohen (who engineered the Buccaneers to second in fantasy points in 2024 and the Jaguars to ninth last year), Washington could be a huge part of the offense in year two, with his consistency catching the football positioning him as a potential league-winner if the offense maintains its trajectory.

Chris Godwin's health and remaining production are a key variable in Emeka Abuka's target-share ceiling in Tampa Bay. Jacob Gibbs frames Godwin as a potential ADP beater if he maintains higher-than-anticipated usage, which would constrain Abuka's opportunities; conversely, if Godwin shows regression given his injury history and age, it would support a potential 150-target season for Abuka in the McVay system.

Jacob Gibbs has discussed Emeka Egbuka as a potential league winner on multiple RotoWire shows and is higher on him than Ryan Heath and in line with Scott Barrett on ceiling projection. The key concern is a 58% catchable target rate on throws over the middle of the field—by far the lowest in the league (next lowest is 72%)—compared to Baker Mayfield's 80% rate to other receivers. However, this outcome was driven by injury circumstances: his offensive line got hurt, he got hurt, and his quarterback got hurt. The upside is that Egbuka demonstrated the ability to win downfield, which is impressive and suggests his bread-and-butter over-the-middle slot role can rebound with health and improved quarterback play.

Jacob Gibbs highlights Bo Nix's deep-ball accuracy concerns as a limiting factor for his receivers' upside. Nix ranked 34th out of 39 QBs in catchable ball rate on throws of 10+ air yards, with only Shedeur Sanders and a few others ranking worse. Gibbs notes the consistency issues persisted across Nix's two seasons, with some good throws mixed with many bad ones downfield. This QB limitation is cited as the primary reason Gibbs had initially ranked Waddle lower (WR23) despite his elite talent, though Gibbs is reconsidering given Denver's offensive scheme improvements.

Jacob Gibbs identifies Jaylen Waddle as a league-winning candidate in Denver's pass-heavy offense after the Broncos traded a first, third, and fourth-round pick to acquire him. Gibbs notes Waddle checks all statistical boxes that correlate to future fantasy scoring; he's coming around on Waddle as a strong pick despite initially ranking him WR23, citing the potential for expanded skill-set usage in a pass-heavy system. Waddle is positioned to receive manufactured touches and catch-and-run opportunities similar to Jameson Williams' role, with Sean Payton's coaching staff emphasizing efficiency-boosting schemes (pre-snap motion, play-action, under-center drops). Gibbs compares the situation to Josh Allen adding Stefon Diggs in year three, calling it "pretty high praise." The Broncos ranked fourth in pass rate over expectation last year and ninth in WR fantasy points. Waddle is WR13 in yards per route run and WR12 in first-down per route run over the past three seasons despite a WR25 target-per-route-run rate, indicating elite efficiency with low target volume. If his target rate increases from 23% to 25–26%, his elite efficiency could translate to significant volume upside.

Jacob Gibbs dismisses the take that Courtland Sutton and Jaylen Waddle will produce similarly as "laughable," citing Waddle's youth, talent level, and the Broncos' Super Bowl aspirations. Gibbs notes that Bo Nix has struggled throwing downfield, ranked 34th out of 39 QBs in catchable ball rate on throws of 10+ air yards, which is problematic for Sutton's deep-ball upside. Waddle is expected to receive the manufactured touches and catch-and-run opportunities in Sean Payton's scheme, positioning him as the primary beneficiary of Denver's offensive efficiency improvements.

DJ Moore has departed the Bears. With Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus gone and no significant target-earning additions, the Bears' receiver room now centers on Luther Burden, Colston Loveland, and other secondary options, creating a clear path to elevated usage for second-year receivers.

Olamide Zaccheaus posted an 84 passer rating when targeted as the first read for the Bears last year, the lowest among primary targets. He received 33 first-read targets, the same as Luther Burden. His departure from the Bears opens target-share expansion opportunity for Burden and other receivers in the offense.

Ihmir Smith-Marsette posted an 84 passer rating when targeted as the first read for the Bears last year, the lowest among the team's primary targets, reflecting his limited role in Ben Johnson's offensive hierarchy.

Cole Kmet posted a 130 passer rating when targeted as the first read for the Bears last year, tied with Colston Loveland and second only to Luther Burden's 135. This elite efficiency reflects his role as a primary target in Ben Johnson's system, though target volume may be constrained by the emergence of younger receivers.

Jacob Gibbs is about in line with ADP for Rome Odunze but expresses concern about his foot injury recovery. Odunze has indicated that things feel different post-injury, and Gibbs worries about potential setbacks or re-aggravation, which could shift value dynamics if complications arise. Rome Odunze posted a 110 passer rating when targeted as the first read for the Bears last year, a solid rate reflecting his role as a primary target. However, his foot injury recovery and the emergence of second-year receivers Colston Loveland and Luther Burden may limit his target growth in year two.

Jacob Gibbs is about in line with ADP for Roma Odunze but expresses concern about his foot injury recovery. Odunze has indicated that things feel different post-injury, and Gibbs worries about potential setbacks or re-aggravation, which could shift value dynamics if complications arise. His emergence is contingent on full recovery, whereas second-year receivers Colston Loveland and Luther Burden offer more reliable upside in the Bears offense.

Used as a player comparison for Luther Burden's potential profile; Gibbs describes Burden as potentially combining Amon-Ra St. Brown's schemed opportunities with Jameson Williams' explosiveness, suggesting Burden could offer a blend of easy looks and explosive upside under Ben Johnson.

Jacob Gibbs highlights Colston Loveland as a second-year tight end with insane contingent upside in Ben Johnson's offense. Loveland was a rookie in year one of Johnson's tenure alongside offensive line development (Kalen Wimbs in year two), and now enters year two with a full offseason and system familiarity. The backloaded rookie production suggests significant year-two growth potential. Loveland posted a 130 passer rating when targeted as the first read for the Bears last year, tied with Cole Kmet and second only to Luther Burden's 135. This elite efficiency metric, combined with his second-year development in Ben Johnson's system, suggests strong projection upside as target volume increases. Gibbs suggests that while all three Bears pass catchers (Loveland, Burden, and Roma Odunze) could potentially produce, at least two of the three will likely eat in fantasy, with Loveland and Burden being the most likely candidates to capture unexpectedly high target share and ceiling outcomes.

Jacob Gibbs identifies Luther Burden as a year-two breakout wide receiver candidate, describing it as "almost illegal not to include" him given his elite skill set and league-winning upside. Burden's profile combines elite after-catch ability (only he and Omar Cooper Jr. have avoided tackle rate above 30% at collegiate level past three draft classes; only Rashee Rice averaged more yards after catch per reception last year), confirmed downfield competence (led Bears in receiving yards on 20+ air yard targets with 6 catches for 233 yards on just 7 targets vs. Rondale Moore's 23 targets and DJ Moore's 22 targets with fewer receiving yards), and elite efficiency (yards per route run just below Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Puka Nacua). Gibbs projects potential for 3+ yards per route run if he gets broken plays or Ben Johnson's schemed opportunities. Burden's analytical and athletic profile, combined with Johnson's tendency to get playmakers the ball and create yards after catch, makes him a strong breakout candidate. With DJ Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus departing and no significant target-earning additions, Burden is positioned to see increased offensive role and target share in year two. Burden posted a 135 passer rating when targeted as the first read last year (highest on the Bears), but only received 33 first-read targets. In three games where Burden had at least a 25% first-read target rate, he averaged 96 yards, suggesting substantial upside if target distribution increases.

Jacob Gibbs ranks George Pickens at 14th overall, well ahead of ADP, and sees him similarly to CeeDee Lamb (7th overall) but with less confidence. Gibbs deliberately ranked Pickens lower to avoid misleading followers into drafting him in round one when he's easily available in round two, suggesting strong value at his current ADP.

Jacob Gibbs ranks CeeDee Lamb at 7th overall, slightly lower than historical ADP, and expresses more confidence in Lamb than George Pickens (14th overall) despite seeing them similarly in talent. Gibbs notes some smart analysts rank Lamb very highly in traditional spots but prefers his 7th-overall ranking.

Jahan Dotson posted a 9% target-per-route-run rate last year, indicating minimal volume efficiency despite running routes. Jacob Gibbs cited this as a cautionary example of low efficiency in the Falcons offense, using it as context for understanding target competition dynamics in Atlanta.

Jacob Gibbs identifies Brock Bowers alongside wide receivers as league-winning draft targets in round two, describing them as 'really really fun clicks right now' in the current draft environment.

Zachariah Branch identified as the second most targeted wide receiver on the Falcons, establishing target competition context for Drake London's 30%+ target share projection.

With Kevin Stefanski taking over the Falcons offense and improved coaching staff from Cleveland, Drake London faces minimal wide receiver target competition (Zachariah Branch as second option, Kyle Pitts as pass-catcher). London averaged 16.5 points per game in 2024 and 16.8 PPG in 2023 (including down weeks post-injury), with three consecutive weeks as WR1 overall and one WR5 week. Jacob Gibbs projects London toward a career year with 30%+ target share and expects London to capture easy-button PPR looks given Tua's capabilities, citing London's alpha WR presence and age (under 25) as indicators his best fantasy football is ahead. However, Gibbs' co-host expresses nervousness about London despite his talent, citing Atlanta's limited offensive ceiling and floor risk. Concerns include uncertain passing volume in a run-heavy offense, potential for limited passing TDs/yards, and historical precedent (Justin Jefferson's floor collapse in limited offenses). While London had 39% first-read target rate when healthy and highest single-season target-per-route-run rate of any receiver drafted since 2017, the co-host lacks confidence in the Falcons offense and won't draft him with prior conviction.

Despite playing through injury in Philadelphia, AJ Brown demonstrated superior efficiency to DeVonta Smith, maintaining massive first-down-per-route-run rate and first-read target rates that mark him as a clear-cut alpha wide receiver one. Moving to New England with Drake May—the best quarterback he's ever had—in a situation with no target competition and likely the best target share of his career, Jacob Gibbs projects he could lead the receiver position in scoring.

Tyreek Hill is cited as one of only two wide receivers ahead of A.J. Brown in all-time yards per route run, establishing Brown's elite historical per-route production ranking.

Puka Nacua is cited as one of only two wide receivers ahead of A.J. Brown in all-time yards per route run, establishing Brown's elite historical per-route production ranking.

Jacob Gibbs cites Stefon Diggs's 2024 production as a comparable benchmark for A.J. Brown's potential with Drake May. Diggs ranked top 8-10 in per-route fantasy points production (yards and first downs per route), a metric that has historically been Brown's strength throughout his career.

Jacob Gibbs identifies Drake May as a primary reason to target A.J. Brown, noting that May is the best quarterback and passer Brown has ever played with. Gibbs counters contrarian takes that May spreads the ball around and lacks a kingmaker reputation, arguing instead that May's system will feature more play-action and under-center looks that align with Brown's elite per-route production profile.

Jacob Gibbs recently pushed A.J. Brown ahead of Nico Collins in his rankings, citing significantly more upside in Brown's situation.

Jacob Gibbs recently pushed A.J. Brown ahead of Justin Jefferson in his rankings, citing significantly more upside in Brown's situation.

Jacob Gibbs frames A.J. Brown as a potential draft consideration over elite running backs like Jonathan Taylor, suggesting Brown's upside may warrant selection ahead of premium RB options.

Jacob Gibbs frames A.J. Brown as a potential draft consideration over elite running backs like Ashton Jeanty, suggesting Brown's upside may warrant selection ahead of premium RB options.

Amon-Ra St. Brown is ranked directly ahead of A.J. Brown in Jacob Gibbs's wide receiver rankings, serving as a comparative benchmark for Brown's 13th overall ranking.

Jacob Gibbs ranks A.J. Brown 13th overall, ahead of Justin Jefferson, Drake London, and Nico Collins, and considers him worthy of selection over elite running backs like Ashton Jeanty, Jamarion Hampton, and Jonathan Taylor. Brown's ADP has surged significantly: locked in the top 18 overall in FFPC, went 8th overall in a recent NFFC $350 contest, and is steaming up in the middle of the second round on Underdog. Gibbs emphasizes that if Brown is close to his pre-injury form, the pairing with Drake May could produce one of the top-scoring players at any position. Brown ranks third all-time in yards per route run (behind only Puka Nacua and Tyreek Hill) and first among wide receivers in yards per route run from under center (4.4 YPRR). He posted a single-season yards per route run rate above 3.0 with the Eagles just one year ago, placing him among only nine wide receivers ever to achieve that mark. Gibbs projects Brown will benefit significantly from the Patriots' under-center and play-action heavy scheme under Josh McDaniels, which historically boosts efficiency for elite playmakers. Brown's transition to New England pairs elite per-route efficiency with a full-time role (versus Stefon Diggs' 68% route rate), positioning him for top-10 fantasy points per route run production plus red-zone upside (career 34% end-zone target share versus Diggs' 8% last year). Moving to the Patriots with no meaningful target competition (Romeo Doubs is the only other option with a well-defined, limited role), Brown maintains alpha wide receiver one status despite having played alongside DeVonta Smith (arguably the best WR2 in the NFL) and Dallas Goedert (elite pass-catching tight end) in Philadelphia. Gibbs emphasizes that Brown's role versatility—he can win all over the field, not just in the slot like Diggs—means he will consolidate multiple role-player looks into one player, maximizing target volume and red-zone opportunity concentration. Gibbs rejects the narrative that Brown's 2024 season represented a meaningful decline; while Brown didn't look quite like himself on film, he still averaged over 2 yards per route run (elite efficiency), created significant yards after contact, and maintained massive first-down per route run rates and first-read target rates. In context, the entire Eagles offense fell off (DeVonta Smith also had a down year), yet Brown remained more efficient than Smith while playing through injury. Gibbs characterizes Brown as a clear-cut alpha WR1 entering 2025, not a declining asset, and projects he could lead the receiver position in scoring.

Christian Watson is a great fit for LaFleur's offense and has excellent chemistry with Jordan Love, with the pairing making a ton of sense after they looked great together last year.

Tucker Kraft is working his way back from a serious tear in his knee and may start on the PUP list.

Blue tier placement in devy rankings; true freshman at Maryland showing excellent arm talent and field reading ability with tantalizing upside. Standout at Manning Passing Academy with greatest throws of the week per Todd McShay. Has deep ball talent and can play under center with strong play-action mechanics and 70-yard bomb capability. Has some rushing ability (not Lamar Jackson level but can contribute yardage on designed runs); sneaky rushing upside with big frame and moldable potential. Decent processor already with room to develop. The source is chasing upside and would love to see him transfer to school with more talent; ranked higher than other analysts due to ceiling potential.

Being drafted higher than most people in upcoming season due to rushing upside. Will put up fantasy points with his legs; will be productive for a season or two on rosters despite Dolphins team quality. Rushing ability is key fantasy value driver.

Also, draft Antonio Williams. No reason for him to be falling in ADP

There’s just no chance Aiyuk is a Commander at this point. I don’t plan on getting any more shares this summer, with the assumption he’s probably out of the NFL for good

What if Brandon Aiyuk has 1500 posts and 10 meltdowns?
