One MANS Opinion: Episode 253 – Everything is Rigged

The NBA Draft Lottery has Jeff Mans hot and bothered this week, and he reviews the last forty years of lotteries and uncovers that the “1% chance happenings” actually occur about 27.5% of the time in the NBA. The rest of this week’s episode is spent on the NFL rookie class as Mans opens up his rookie OTA notebook and reveals some initial impressions on players like Cam Ward, Jaylin Noel, RJ Harvey, Luther Burden, Mason Taylor, Travis Hunter, and more. He also discusses the retirement of Derek Carr, the way Carr and the Saints organization handled it, and how many others in sports should be involved. After deep diving into the best rookie seasons in NFL history, Mans decided to portion out his findings into the next few episodes, beginning with the quarterback this week. Jeff reveals the best seasons by a quarterback over the last 25 years, breaks down where they fit from a fantasy football perspective, and how each quarterback fared the following season. This data screams at how we should be drafting quarterbacks in fantasy football, and Mans make those connections for 2025 here.
