One MANS Opinion: Episode 262 – Meet Julius Pepperwood

It’s the episode we’ve all been waiting for, where Jeff Mans reveals the secret code name player of this fantasy football season. Mans takes us through the history of how an off-the-cuff gimmick became one of the most anticipated announcements of the NFL calendar year. He reflects on previous years’ decisions and how those results shaped this year’s player. He also discusses why Julius Pepperwood is the perfect code name for this year's player. Then we take a journey through this player’s five-year NFL career and look at all the numbers he has generated going into 2025. Jeff reveals how offseason events have lined up to position this player for a big fantasy season. He takes a look at the current ADP and then uses historical data to show how Pepperwood will easily outproduce that low draft spot. Once this episode goes public, the draft stock is going to rise, but that is all baked into his projection for this season. Remember that from here on out, we do not speak the NFL player’s name and instead call him by his new moniker, “Julius Pepperwood,” at least until our fantasy drafts are done this year.
