FSH NOTEBOOK: DAVID'S DAILY DIGEST








August 26th, 2023
Saturday Evening Edition


Welcome Home Fantasy Football


As it often can happen, real life tends to get in the way when we least expect it and sometimes at the most inconvenient time. But that doesn’t mean we have to pack it up and call it day.

I am a career fantasy football guy. I’ve been playing the game for over 25 years and my love for it today is as strong as the first day we met. The past couple of seasons has provided some real life bumps in the road, but today it’s safe to say we have managed to navigate our way past much of the difficulty.

As a result, unlike the previous few years, 2023 has had more of a familiar and normal feel, most of us have been hoping and waiting for and as it often means, when the days get warm, Fantasy Football is just around the corner.

It’s the height of summer, temperatures are on the rise, and we are in the heart of the Fantasy Football draft season. With two Drafts already under my belt, it’s time for me to heat up those mocks in preparation for the four remaining I have played for the upcoming Labor Day weekend.

There are a lot of familiar faces in new places, the rumor mill is swirling, and plenty of NFL notes to keep me busy for the next 8 days before I draft. Running back Ezekiel Elliot is in New England, running back Josh Jacobs has returned to the Raiders, wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins has signed with the Titans, and the Jets not only traded for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but they have also signed running back Dalvin Cook.

So what does all of this mean?

It means it’s time to get excited, grab a fantasy mag, start taking notes, and get your popcorn ready, Fantasy Football is here!

If all goes right this season, I’ll be right here to share my fantasy football thoughts & takes, as well as provide my perspective and opinion on anything and everything fantasy relevant!

That's my take!
