This is just my lame attempt at giving back to you. I have been a big fan of yours for awhile now (even before becoming a member). Here are just a few thoughts on possible angles for you to pursue. Please do not take this wrong — why not run every post you write through a spell check/grammar check? Your grammar is not bad lol but you are a near genius. That is probably not an apt description; you are more like a savant that can focus and see through data to come up with anomalies. Your predictive ability is other worldly! Anyway, here are a few more ideas for you to consider. You may have brought this up before, but it may be time to revisit the notion that many many fantasy players do not pay enough attention to their league-specific rules. I have found hacks that have actually put me over the top in fantasy leagues. One such hack was that our league had a strict number on max innings for pitching. Something that many of my fellow managers did not realize was that you can go way over those innings on the last day of the league year and they would still count. You have relief pitcher rankings coming up; a common hack has been starting pitchers that qualify as RP, but the reverse works just as strongly. Closers and Set-up guys that qualify as SP/RP are extremely valuable. For holds leagues, they are gold.
Okay, this idea is really out there: In my free time, I have been messing around with Chatgpt. I have been trying to explore how to get the most out of it. I have been amazed. It is extremely powerful. The trick is to learn how to ask the correct specific questions. I have been exploring simple things for my fantasy baseball teams. I give chatgpt all of the data points of the league. (Note it took a few hiccups, but I finally got it to understand what I wanted from it.) I fed in the average totals for the 6×6 categories for the last 5 years. I told it to save those as references. For example: one league is a 16 team keep 9 league (6×6) ROTO. We keep 20 minors. (It took me a couple of attempts to get it to understand the relationship of minor leaguers to MLB stats. I was about to give up when it had an AHA moment and read something offline and knew immediately how the minor leaguers factored in. When I was listing my prime 9 keepers, it remarked on the value of potential minor leaguers who could get at bats this year (such as Carter Jensen, etc). It remarked that they were like free keepers!!!! Anyway, I plan on giving it the keeper data and then the picks when we have our Spring redraft. I will evaluate how it does. Actually, I have no ill thoughts, it is nothing more than using you or another site’s pick recommendations. I am sorry this is getting too long. If I come up with an idea, I will just send a quick note. r/Jack
