1.Kenny Pickett (PIT)
Pittsburgh was all-in on QB Kenny Pickett early on. Coach Mike Tomlin and outgoing GM Kevin Colbert had intimate knowledge of Pickett’s on-field abilities and his perceived limitations and confidently used the 20th overall pick on the QB. The luxury is he does not need to start as a rookie, able to learn from the sidelines watching free agent addition Mitchell Trubisky perform. However, listen to Coach Tomlin speak and we get the idea he and the staff feel Pickett is pro-ready now and will challenge Trubisky for lead snaps. Kenny Pickett checks a majority of the required boxes as a potential starting QB in the NFL. Pickett has perfect size at 6’3-217, spins a pretty fair ball at above average velocity and is effectively mobile.

"You already know the quality of the information available on this site, but Mike also responds immediately to customer issues. I did something to mess up my log in to the site and was unable to access it. One call to FFMastermind (Mike personally handled the issue) and things were cleared up and I was back in immediately."

"I began using FFM in the late 1990s. For 20+ years they were an extremely valuable resource, as I enjoyed great success in my league during that period. Unfortunately, my league came to an end during the Covid years, and I stopped subscribing to FFM. After a year without Fantasy Football, I started looking into online sports betting and quickly realized FFM could again become a valuable source of information for prop bets on individual players. I resumed my subscription with FFM and have not looked back. FFM is clearly a dual threat; they can severely increase your odds of success in both fantasy leagues as well as prop betting. I almost feel guilty with the tremendous returns I get from such a modest investment in FFM."
