Corner Display Cabinet - by Chico Sakman
This corner display cabinet was commissioned and completed Jan/Feb 1999. The main material is solid flamed and regular birch. This cabinet features hand-cut through dovetails at the drawer back and half-blinds at the front. Half-lap dovetailed cope & stick joinery assembles the upper door which is through mortised and pinned with square ebony pegs. Lower doors are the same, except for blind mortise & tenon joinery. All parts, both frames and panels, are from 1" stock.
Since this is a "display" cabinet, I didn't (couldn't) want to use solid wood sides due to problems with seasonal dimension changes. Instead, I opted for making the sides as "frames with panels" to avoid cross-grained conflicts.
With excessive height and the absence of any "fixed" shelves, joinery of the all upper case parts became an important issue in order to provide long-lasting integrity. Dovetail joinery was the answer to all my joinery problems in the upper case. It's a bit slow and nerve wracking to cut all the joints, but it sure holds everything just the way they should be.
The door of the upper case was another challenge...over 60" in height and 30" width, 2" wide frame members (rails and stiles) carrying 57-7/8" x 26-3/4" x 3 mm glass is a little bit different then regular glass cabinet doors. Actually many curio cabinets have similar size doors. Although this one is 35" above the floor, you automatically tend to worry about it a bit more... (or is it just me!?) Therefore I used half-lap dovetailed cope and stick (they half-lap @ the junctions) and rail and stiles are joined with through full tenons at the corners, reinforced with diagonally placed square ebony pegs. Two big brass ball-catches and 3 brass hinges hold the door in place and aligned. The cornice ogee was produced with a Freud moulding bit; ready-made rope moulding flanked by small beads wraps from below.
Waist moulding is the ogee profiled panel raising bit, mitered @ 22-1/2 degrees and overhangs the case 5/8". The drawer sides are aromatic cedar, bottom is curly maple and the sides glide on waxed padouk runners. One of the drawer's sides have an engraved plaque that says; it's made by me, date and location. The drawer also has a secret drawer behind it. (A triangular piece.)
In the base, as you may notice, there's no stretcher right below the drawer, just because I wanted to keep the frames and panels in harmony. That stretcher is behind the top of the doors, also holding the brass ball catches for the 15/16" thick doors. Gaps around the doors and drawers are so tight, a business card can't even fit easily. This particularly became an issue since the doors are almost 1" thick. I had to bevel the inside edges of the doors to enable them to close without rubbing, but unfortunately now the left door has to be closed first, then right door. I personally prefer not to give the doors "turns"! (one which has to close before the other.) I don't know - cabinet doors like that have always bothered me for some unknown reason, but in this case I had to do something. I re-edged one of the doors and now one can close both at the same time. :-)
The base moulding is done with router bits, not table saw coving!!! I converted a small cove panel-raising bit from CMT by having the bit's threaded axle (which mounts the ball bearing) machined off, therefore turning the bit into a large "core-box" or "half-round" design. I used a bearingless ovolo bit for both edges of the moulding top.
The finish consists of one coat of Light Walnut Watco Oil followed by seven alternating coats of orange shellac/poly+oil mix. Every coat was sanded and the last 2 coats were also polished to a satin sheen.
I hope this has been somewhat insprational and/or informative to some. I sure enjoyed making this challenging piece.

Immortal Mortal - Chapter 129
Chapter 129: How People See Mo Wuji
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor:
Mo Wuji opened the paper suspiciously. When he saw the contents on the paper, he immediately lifted his head and asked astoundedly, ''The Earthly Soul Protecting Pill Formula? Senior apprentice sister Yan, you chose to concoct this pill in the competition?''
Mo Wuji finally understood why Yan Qianyin had failed. He had concocted the Spirit Strengthening Pill, and he knew that it was far more difficult compared to other Tier 3 Mortal Pills. The Earthly Soul Protecting Pill was a Tier 4 Earth Pill, naturally, it would be exponentially harder. Furthermore, she had to use the low grade red firestone, and was restrained by the time limit of two hours. Her failure was not without reason.
''Senior apprentice sister Yan, with your abilities, if you chose a typical Tier 4 pill, you would have succeeded ah.'' Mo Wuji said a little doubtfully. Because he needed the Earthly Soul Protecting Pill didn't mean that Yan Qianyin needed it too.
Yan Qianyin laughed faintly, ''I was just taking a gamble. If I succeeded, I would very likely enter the top 10. If I failed, didn't you already promise me some placings? Also, I thought that you would need this pill formula.''
''Many thanks senior apprentice sister Yan. I will gratefully accept this pill formula then. Just tell me how many placings you need, I have many in excess. Also, I have one question: why does senior apprentice sister say that I need this pill formula?'' Mo Wuji poured this burning question out from his heart.
Yan Qianyin laughed once more, ''Others do not know your cultivation and would definitely think that you're at the Great Circle of Channel Opening, or even half a step into Spirit Building. However, I'm very cognizant that you are only at Channel Opening Stage Level 4. For a Channel Opening Stage Level 4 cultivator to purify the Iron Core Bodhi Fruit, or to even concoct Tier 3 Mortal Pills, definitely isn't possible with cultivation alone.
Furthermore, you're not some experienced old fogey, so I believe that the only possible reason is that you've cultivated your spiritual will. With your cultivation, even with your spiritual will, concocting Tier 3 pills would still be difficult, so this pill would definitely be very useful for you. However, I knew that you definitely wouldn't choose that pill because of Yan'Er. So I decided to simply help you.''
Mo Wuji's heart started pounding;he really had to depend on his spiritual will to concoct pills. It was as Yan Qianyin said, others must definitely think that he was an existence at the Great Circle of Channel Opening or even half a step into Spirit Building. And Yan Qianyin knew that his cultivation back when he was at the Formless Blade Mountain was merely Channel Opening Stage Level 3. According to her logical deduction, with his poor quality spiritual roots, his advancements should not be too fast, and he should at most be at Channel Opening Stage Level 4.
It was precisely because of this deduction that Yan Qianyin inferred that Mo Wuji had trained his spiritual will. It was akin to a shot in the dark, but Yan Qianyin guessed correctly: he really did cultivate his spiritual will. However, his cultivation wasn't merely in Channel Opening Stage Level 4 but Channel Opening Stage Level 8.
Mo Wuji stood up and took a bow, ''I did not have some spiritual will cultivation technique, but I did manage to develop some spiritual will by chance. Senior apprentice sister Yan, please help me keep this a secret.''
Mo Wuji truly did not have a spiritual will cultivation method. But he did have the Spirit Strengthening Pill, and he could not easily take that out.
Yan Qianyin smiled, ''Have I never helped you keep a secret? You don't need to worried. You can keep this pill formula. Previously, I underestimated you, but now I'm sure that you would definitely be a Tier 4 Earth Pill Refiner. Regarding the bracelets, I only need three. I need one for myself and the other two are for Sect Head Gu Ran. After this Five Elements Desolate Domain, I will be leaving the Formless Blade Sect, so I need to return his favour he's given me over the years.''
Mo Wuji did not hesitate to take out four bracelets and passed it to Yan Qianyin, ''Many thanks senior apprentice sister Yan for helping me again. I have one more bracelet here, I will need to trouble senior apprentice sister to help me pass it to Qin Chen.''
Qin Xiangyu's cultivation was too low, so Mo Wuji did not pass a bracelet to her. Thus, he would give the bracelet to Qin Chen instead. After all, he owed her a favour. Even though Qin Chen might have some biases against him, he would still need to repay the favour.
''Rest assured, I will get it done.'' Yan Qianyin also wasn't overly courteous. From a certain perspective, she did intentionally pick the Earthly Soul Protecting Pill to help Mo Wuji. This was also because she did not manage to fulfil her previous promise with Mo Wuji which filled her heart with a tinge of guilt.
''Senior apprentice brother Mo, there's another person outside who wishes to meet you.'' By the door, Fei Bingzhu called out again.
Yan Qianyin stood up, ''The bracelets in your hands will definitely be very popular in the next two days. Remember that the value of this bracelet is very high, so don't sell it out for a cheap price. I'll take my leave first. Maybe we might meet again in the Five Elements Desolate Domain.''
Mo Wuji sent Yan Qianyin to the door, and he saw who had come to meet him: Qu Wan'Er. Back on the ship, Qu Wan'Er helped him out once. At Chang Luo, Qu Wan'Er helped him again. He believed Qu Wan'Er to be a proud person, if it was for something ordinary, she definitely wouldn't have taken the initiative to find him.
Now that Qu Wan'Er had come, it meant that entering the Five Elements Desolate Domain was very important to her.
''Mo Wuji greets Senior Qu as well as this senior. Please enter.'' Mo Wuji recognised Qu Wan'Er but not the black bearded elder by her side. Since he had come together with Qu Wan'Er, he should be someone close to her.
''Pill Master Mo, this is my master. My arrival must have disturbed you, I'm truly...'' Qu Wan'Er was speaking awkwardly, she truly did not know what to say. In her eyes, Mo Wuji and her should have been people from two different worlds;worlds which were as different as the gap between Heaven and Earth. Helping Mo Wuji was a natural thing;it was like how immortals bestowed fire onto mortals. However, she - an immortal - was now seeking help from him - a mortal. It would be weird if she wasn't awkward.
On the other hand, the black bearded elder acted very casually as he laughed and said, ''Pill Master Mo, I am the Heavenly Temple's 16th Elder, Zhan Yuanji. I'm also Wan'Er's master. I hope that you're not disturbed by our visit today.''
Mo Wuji eagerly said, ''Senior Qu had helped me immensely before. Your visit here is my pleasure. Please come take a sit.''
Zhan Yuanji's gaze landed on Qu Wan'Er, but Qu Wan'Er's eyes were darting around, not meeting her master's gaze.
Zhan Yuanji helplessly said, ''Pill Master Mo is so young, yet your understanding towards the Pill Dao is so profound. Your future is truly limitless.''
Mo Wuji chuckled, ''Senior exaggerates. I'm limited by my innate talent. For me to advance is far harder than others.''
''You're really in the Channel Opening Stage?'' Qu Wan'Er finally retracted her gaze and focused her attention onto Mo Wuji.
Mo Wuji nodded and sighed, ''I'm really in the Channel Opening Stage, but my achievements today required me to exert painstaking effort and I had to go through countless life and death experiences.''
Mo Wuji wasn't kidding when he said that. To advance his cultivation, he needed to perforate new meridians, which was an extremely difficult process. He was not wrong about the life and death experiences, he had to constantly get shocked by lightning in order to open his meridians.
Yuan Zhenji's gaze swept across Mo Wuji before he sighed. Standing so near to Mo Wuji, he could make a clear evaluation. His body did not emanate a hint of spirituality, but an aura of mortality. Mo Wuji truly did not have impressive spiritual roots, much less lightning affinity ones.
What a pity. He was still guessing whether Mo Wuji had unique affinity spiritual roots. If Mo Wuji did, coupled with his talent as a pill refiner, Yuan Zhenji might have tied Qu Wan'Er and Mo Wuji together.
Since Mo Wuji had typical spiritual roots, he was naturally not a match for Qu Wan'Er. He felt such a great pity that his alchemy talent was wasted by his poor innate roots.
Seeing that Qu Wan'Er remained silent for some time, Yuan Zhenji said, ''Pill Master Mo, Wan'Er and I are here today because...''
He did not wish to continue wasting anymore time, Yuan Zhenji intended to immediately ask about the jade bracelets and leave as soon as possible.
Mo Wuji had already predicted the reason for Qu Wan'Er's visit. Before Yuan Zhenji even finished his sentence, Mo Wuji took the initiative to pass a bracelet over to Qu Wan'Er, ''Senior Qu, my luck is not bad, and I managed to obtain some placings. I'll give this one to Senior Qu.''
''Many thanks Pill Master Mo. How many spirit stones is this worth? I will give...'' Qu Wan'Er carefully accepted the bracelet. She was still unsure of how to pop the question, and she did not expect that Mo Wuji would simply pass it to her.
Mo Wuji laughed lightly, ''Senior Qu, you've helped me out before, and did not ask for anything in return. If I had to take Senior Qu's spirit stones for a simple bracelet, I, Mo Wuji, would be far too ungrateful.''
Since Mo Wuji had put it that way, Qu Wan'Er no longer mentioned spirit stones, but embarrassedly expressed her gratitude.
Yuan Zhenji understood his own disciple, and knew that she definitely did not wish to stay there. He also did not expect for things to go so smoothly, so he simply stood up and said, ''Pill Master Mo, Wan'Er and I did come here for the bracelet. Since Pill Master Mo isn't willing to accept spirit stones, if you meet with any difficulty, you can find me at the Heavenly Temple. We'll no longer disturb Pill Master Mo.''
After sending Yuan Zhenji and Qu Wan'Er off, Mo Wuji shook his head. If that Yuan Zhenji truly intended to help him, he would not have simply said that sentence. At the very least, he could offer some sort of identification token for Mo Wuji.
However, Mo Wuji did not mind as he had never intended to look for Yuan Zhenji for help.
''Master, you said that Pill Master Mo can always look for you, but why didn't you leave behind your identity token?'' After leaving the Nine Moons Pill House encampment, Qu Wan'Er regained her usual countenance.
Yuan Zhenji sighed before saying,''His spiritual roots should indeed be of low grade. It might even be the lowest of low grade spiritual roots. He must have encountered some luck to be able to cultivate to the late levels of the Channel Opening Stage. However, this is where it ends, so he definitely wouldn't go to the Heavenly Temple.''
''Then, you...'' Qu Wan'Er gave her master a baffled look.
Yuan Zhenji said directly, ''Those were just empty words. Even if he did go to the Heavenly Temple, what would I gain by helping him?
Even though his cultivation talent is horrible, he understands a bit about human relations. Didn't you see him offer you the bracelet even before I opened my mouth? He is a pill refiner with little hopes of advancing his cultivation, but he was entitled by the Nine Moons Pill House to allocate one or two bracelets. This meant that he must have some capabilities. Naturally, he would understand the intention behind my words. He also offered the bracelet to repay your help. After this, the two of you will be clear from all your ties.''
Yuan Zhenji did not know that Mo Wuji did not merely get to allocate one or two bracelets;he could allocate all of his bracelets. If he did, he would not have been in such a rush to leave.
''But the help I offered and the help he returned are not on the same level...'' Qu Wan'Er was still a little troubled.
Yuan Zhenji chuckled, ''That's just from your perspective. Let's stop thinking about such useless matters. Even though we already have a bracelet, we can still get some from the sect.''
The Heavenly Temple had a pill refiner who was at 84th place, so there were still 17 available bracelets.

Forecourt of the future
The petrol filling station has changed little in format or basic design since the 1960s: a shop in a box, four square petrol pump islands and a flat canopy to shelter from the elements, offering a product so vastly inflated in price that the whole experience is now called a 'distress purchase'. Even the pumps which were once human in scale with internally illuminated glass orbs and had a certain charm are now non-descript branded boxes. With fuel margins dwindling globally, retailers have resorted to supplementing their income by inviting 'proper grocery retailers' onto their sites, BP and M&S one of the most successful recent partnerships demonstrates that it is the non-fuel experience and products that we are attracted to. The days of being 'Sure of Shell' are long gone, customers look for the cheapest fuel in the most convenient location a fact borne out by the success of the supermarket filling stations.
Our station of the future concept turns the current filling station format on its head and brings the shop, café hub to the front of the site maximising the opportunity for passing trade. In effect the roles are reversed. The fuel becomes the backcourt; out of site and the shop occupies the forecourt. The building is environmentally sustainable harvesting rainwater and sunlight, the interior spaces are flooded with daylight. The offer of a c-store, café, farmers market or click and collect services are all possibilities for the next generation of filling station whatever the fuel type may be.

Beat your meat to beat some PBS.
While the long-standing notion that bottling up your sexual energy before exercise will help you exercise better has long been accepted as canon, it turns out that guys might actually have it the wrong way round.
A study, published in the journal Hormones and Behavior, found that watching porn videos before a workout can actually lead to a spike in testosterone, leading to better results at the gym. Researchers not only found heightened testosterone levels in the Saliva of the subjects after 4 minutes of watching porn but also noted a significant improvement in the 3RM performance of weightlifters attempting heavy squats.
'In conclusion, different video clips were associated with different changes in salivary free hormone concentrations and the relative changes in testosterone closely mapped 3RM squat performance in a group of highly trained males,' the authors wrote.
Of course, anyone who's ever been turned on will tell you that this probably isn't all that surprising. More testosterone means more aggression, more endurance and more strength. Simple biology. But the implications of the study might not be so simple. It may also point to the fact that undertaking sexual activity before exercise, long thought to be a gigantic no-no by Football Managers across the world, could actually help athletic performance rather than hinder it.
Researcher Professor Emmanuele Jannini, of the University of L'Aquila in Italy, found that sex stimulates the production of testosterone, telling National Geographic that the current thinking that sex diminishes performance 'is a really wrong idea.'
'After three months without sex, which is not so uncommon for some athletes, testosterone dramatically drops to levels close to children's levels,' Jannini said, according to the magazine. 'Do you think this may be useful for a boxer?'
All of this may possibly point to a positive effect that could be had by not only watching porn before a workout but even having a cheeky five-knuckle shuffle. Despite the long-held belief of most guys, it's largely been found that testosterone levels don't drop after sex, and in fact will help leave a guy feeling recharged and re-energised, wiping mental fatigue and aiding confidence.

You don't have to go through a lot in order to set up Zend framework on your computer. If you follow these steps below and do them exactly then you shouldn't have a problem getting the development environment ready.
What you have to have installed (Before continuing)
We assume that you already installed either XAMPP or WAMP (Windows) , or MAMP (Mac) on your computer. If you haven't then you can acquire the software from the links below:
For windows:
Download XAMPP here
Download WAMP here
For Mac:
Download MAMP here
What we will need?
1. Download the java development kit (JDK) here
2. Get the latest version of NetBeans IDE (As long as the download bundle has PHP) here
3. Download the latest version of Zend Framework here
Step 1. Extract Zend Framework
Extract your Zend framework package into a location that you wouldn't delete. Say put it in a folder under your Local Disk or Partition. Remember this is where NetBeans will load the framework from every time we create a new Zend application so keep the framework in a safe place (e.g C:\zend)
Step 2. Add Zend library to NetBeans IDE
After you have installed NetBeans, open it. In this step you are going to configure NetBeans and let it know where to find the Zend framework extracted on your computer. On the IDE's main menu click on "Tools" and select "Options". From the dialog that shows select "PHP" and on the "General" tab under the 'Global include Path' section click on "Add folder..." and browse to where you extracted your Zend framework and select the "library" folder inside. Take a look at the screenshot below:
Once that is done you will then have to click on the "zend" tab and where you are prompted for a zend script click on browse and again navigate to where you extracted your Zend framework and go inside the "bin" folder. Select "zf.bat" and then go on to click on "Register Provider". Take a look at the screenshot below:
Make sure you see a dialog box that says 'Provider registered, review Output window for possible errors'. This means that you have successfully added the Zend framework to your IDE and you are now ready to create applications using the framework.
Is that it?
Yes that's all there is to it when setting this up. On the next tutorial we will create our first Zend application, use the Zend command tool, and test our web application on a browser.
So stay tuned!

I had speculated that Southeast Asia may cause a fair bit of culture shock. There's the heat, the food, the markets, the more conservative way of dress, the language barrier, and of course my fears of giant cockroaches and squat toilets.
Turns out, I didn't have much to fear. Most people speak a little English to communicate, I've only come across a handful of cockroaches, and I have not had to use one single squat toilet. I was even surprised myself at how fast Thailand felt like home. We did have to get used to some things, but they were all easily figured out. But apparently, the most perplexing thing of all was the common house toilet.
We're in a new hotel on the outskirts of Chiang Mai. At this point, we've been in Thailand for just under a week. We've been adjusting to life in Thailand and getting ourselves comfy in our little apartment on Nimmanhaemin, but because of the lantern release festival in Mae Jo, we decided to book a hotel nearby.
I use the bathroom first and notice that there is no toilet paper (did they forget to stock?). I look around to see what else I can use, and see a box of Kleenex on the vanity and a hose next to the toilet. I pick up the hose. A stream of water shoots out. Naturally, like anyone with half a brain cell, I deduce that you're supposed to wash off with the water spray and dry off with a towel or with the Kleenex.
"Hey babe, make sure you don't flush the Kleenex when you use the bathroom, ok?" I remind D when I get out, knowing that it's exactly the kind of thing he'd do, having been an OC kid all his life.
"What? There's no toilet paper?"
"No, only Kleenex and you can't flush those."
Let me interrupt here and say that we've been having wireless problems all evening and the staff has come around a couple of times already to try to help us (but to no avail).
"Why wouldn't you tell the staff that they didn't give us toilet paper when they literally just came by?"
"Errr… I didn't think I need to."
"You're so inefficient!! Why would you complain about no toilet paper and then not say anything when they were here?!" His voice rising.
"I didn't complain. I just told you to not flush the Kleenex! You use the water spray thingy to wash, and if you use the Kleenex, then just throw it in the bin!"
"Well, I'm not putting it in the bin!!"
"You have to because you can't flush Kleenex!"
"Why not?!"
"Because it doesn't dissolve like normal toilet paper!" Is he seriously this stupid??
"Then call them and ask for toilet paper!" He demands.
"No! This is just what they do here! The plumbing probably can't handle it!" I shout back, extremely annoyed at his lack of regard for custom.
Hmmm, now that I think about it, I have just been flushing toilet paper down the toilet up until now. So far, I've only ever used the toilet in our AirBnB rental (which has a hose next to it too, though I didn't know what it was for), and it didn't come with instructions. It didn't occur to me to do differently from what I usually do back home. I make a mental note to no longer do that.
But D doesn't agree. "Call them now and fix it!!!!"
"What's your problem?! Just throw it in the bin!!!"
I begrudgingly call the front desk only because I want to stop yelling at each other. And to prove I'm right. "We don't have flushable toilet paper," I say, feeling like an idiot Westerner.
"Toilet paper?" the lady asks, confused. "It's in a box on counter."
"Yeah, but it's not flushable." I cringe at my own words.
Due to the language barrier, the nice lady doesn't understand, and once again comes up to our room, this time with an armful of Kleenex packages. I take her to the bathroom and mime flushing the Kleenex. "No no no!" she exclaims. "In here!" And points to the bin.
Ha, just like what I said.
When she leaves, I turn to D and smirk. "So yeah, make sure you don't flush the Kleenex, ok?"
Team D finally conceded.
That's right. We had a screaming match over the correct way to clean your ass. I am smug that I'm in the right, though.
Postscript: Since then, I've never tossed paper into the toilet again and started using the hose. I gotta say that I really like it! If I ever settle down somewhere, I'm totally getting my toilet outfitted with a washing wand too!
Have you made any cultural blunders? Have you fought with your partner over something completely stupid?

Berkeley approves boycott of Arizona
May 19, 2010
BERKELEY, Calif.—Berkeley has become the latest California city to boycott Arizona in response to the state's new law targeting illegal immigration.
The City Council voted unanimously on Tuesday to restrict staff from traveling to the state on city business.
The council also called on city officials to look into canceling contracts with businesses in the state.
Other California cities, including Los Angeles, Oakland and San Francisco, have passed similar measures.
The new Arizona law requires police enforcing another law to question people about their immigration status if there is reason to suspect they are in the country illegally.
Critics say it will lead to racial profiling of Hispanics.
But supporters say the law is needed because the federal government has failed to secure the border.

Rawat said that the Election Commission (EC) will be ready to hold simultaneous polls to Lok Sabha and all state assemblies by the end of next year, Odisha Chief Minister and Biju Janata Dal (BJD) supremo Naveen Patnaik today said the party is ready for it. "If there is an early election, the BJD is always ready for it," Patnaik said speaking to reporters here. BJD spokesperson Pratap Deb also echoed Patnaik's words. "Elections are never contested without strategies. When we are saying we are ready for polls, we mean it. We expect a 'first division with distinction' result in the election," said Deb. "Firstly, polls are never held as per the will of a particular party. Secondly, if constitutional amendments are done for holding parliament and assembly polls at the same time, that will be a different matter. Such an amendment is yet to be done. If all the states agree to dissolve their respective assemblies and hold elections along with parliament poll, no one can stop it," said Narasingha Mishra, Leader of Opposition in Odisha Legislative Assembly. Worth mentioning, Rawat had said the EC can hold the simultaneous election by the end of next year when it will have all the logistics ready. "A lot of things depend on the logistics. As of now, we do not have that many EVMs as are required. But the government has already sanctioned the money to the Election Commission and we have placed the orders (for EVMs and VVPAT machines) to the manufacturers," Rawat had said. "In fact we have started receiving the machines and will get all the deliveries by September 2018. After that we will be able to hold simultaneous elections," he had said.

As much as I love to explore and experiment with different fashion styles and trend, boho chic is at the core of my personal style. A bit like that one incredible foundation/ hair conditioner / wine you keep coming back to, it fits in seamlessly with my lifestyle, personality and tropical environment.
Today's bohemian outfit is one of my favorite I've ever featured on The Daily Luxe, as it combines two of my favorite Australian boho brands: Auguste the Label, which was born in Byron Bay, one of my fave Aussie spots, and Kivari, a wanderlust-infused brand from Sydney's Northern Beaches.
I picked up this gorgeous skirt and top from Gypsett, a local boutique based in Cairns. They stock all of my fave boho brands including Arnhem, Camilla, Le Salty Label and One Teaspoon. And guess what? I have a 10% discount code just for you which can be used on all of their pieces.

But before you shop, let me tell you a little bit more about my outfit! I'm wearing Auguste The Label's Valentina Fiesta Maxi Skirt. With a soft flowy design and flecks of silver that catch the sun, it reminds me of running through vineyards in Sicily.
The Kivari is a wispy, off-the-shoulder dream. Although half my wardrobe is off the shoulder tops (I kid you not!), the fit of this and the intricate lace detailing make it made to show off a sunkissed tan.
And yes, these photos are taken in Tropical North Queensland, Australia. Although one of my friends did question if I had taken a sneaky trip to the Maldives for this shoot. I wish!

Taking the 2015, 2016, and 2017 NFL Drafts and conducting a dynasty rookie draft using only prospects from those seasons.
I'm leaning with 'PPR' and '6pts per pass TD' as the scoring basis and a normal(?) lineup of 1 QB, 2 WR/RB. 1 TD, 1 Flex…and 3-5 IDPs (for those with IDP). Obviously, everyone has their own whacked out scoring system, so we'll try to keep those in mind making notes on the players that need special scoring system notes.
The three things standing out about this draft re-do…
1) There are a lot of quarterbacks suddenly very productive…just in this three-year block. Added to all the 'old guys' still doing well…and we have a growing glut at QB. I might need to push them down in draft value because of it. I did use it to push them down already in this re-do.
2) There are a lot of 'franchise' RBs starting to accumulate. There are several RBs you could see as the top RB for this re-do draft or in reality.
3) We're lacking in #1 WR prospects. A lot of talented WR2, WR3 guys…but rare WR1 hopefuls. Thus, a couple WRs are ranked higher than you'd think going in here.
We're going to add a prospect/pick or two to this list every day into February 2018. It will be a top 30-40 list by the end. I might change the order of a player (drop or rise) already posted prior, and I'll note when we do.
Here we go…
1) RB David Johnson, Arizona
You can put Todd Gurley #1 if you desire, I have no complaints with that. We don't know who the new Arizona head coach will be (as of this writing), so this is a fluid situation -- but Johnson is the supreme RB talent of our lifetime…you think Gurley looks great now, but you forget how amazing DJ is. Bigger, stronger, faster, much better hands, etc.
I get the 'headwinds' – unknown coach, Gurley has the best coach…and a real QB, whereas DJ has no idea who his QB will be. That's why I mention if you want to go Gurley #1…I get it for the extenuating circumstances. Aside from 'circumstances', no one is as talented all-around as Johnson.
2) RB Todd Gurley, LA Rams
The consolation prize not getting David Johnson. For NFL purposes, I'd rather have Leonard Fournette…but based on where they are with coaches and 'systems'…I'll givea slight edge to Gurley at #2 for fantasy.
What I can't shake out of my mind is how mediocre Gurley has looked most of his career, except for the last 3-4-5 weeks of the 2017 season. His 2016 was a semi-embarrassment, given how lofty a perch he's put on. I fear that version of Gurley returning…but Sean McVay tends to make everything better. However, the Gurley of the last few weeks of 2017 is worthy of the #1 spot, especially with this offense.
3) WR Tyreek Hill, Kansas City
You probably think my love for Tyreek has gone overboard and I'm overvaluing him here. Three things…
1: I never let emotions rule my FF-valuations, as you'll see by the names on this list and where we rank them. There are some guys I like and some I don't like for various reasons but when we're playing for money I don't have time to be emotional.
2: As I outlined the first 15-20 names on this mock draft – just two WRs appeared, and one of them I love the talent and upside on – Tyreek. Endangered fantasy species: young WRs. You'll see what I'm saying as this list unfolds. It shocked me too when I dug into the state of young WRs.
3: The potential Patrick Mahomes + Tyreek Hill connection could be magical – the ultimate deep threat joins forces with the deep-ball gunslinger.
If I had to bet money on the fantasy top PPG scorers by positions in 2018 (using only guys drafted 2015-16-17)…it would be: RB D Johnson, TE Evan Engram, WR Tyreek Hill.
4) TE Evan Engram, NY Giants
Arguably could be ahead of Tyreek, but it's shocking how awful/scarce the young WR talent is. I know some of them will emerge over time with their offense/QB, but right now it's a barren wasteland – all the top WRs are like 4-5+ years in the league. However, elite tight end prospects are usually a pretty scarce resource as well…and Engram is anything but dull.
Quite simply…the most amazing athlete at tight end I've ever seen. Better than (different than) Jimmy Graham at the peak of his powers. No tight end I've seen moves like Engram. He's an OK+ receiver, and not a super-tall basketball-type tight end…but his speed and movement are otherworldly. He's impossible to cover for linebackers and DBs.
Engram will be a top five tight end fixture in fantasy for years. He works even if stuck with crappy QBs because he's a catch-and-go guy.
5) RB Leonard Fournette, Jacksonville
If Fournette were with the Rams, he'd be #1-2 on this list. The best power runner in football…might go down as one of the best of all-time. The only thing that stops him is the ridiculous Jacksonville offense and their awful QB…which allows teams to stack the run.
Doug Marrone pulling Fournette in the 4th-quarter of games in all-pass situations also scares me, because Marrone is simply ridiculous. Teams should live to get their stud the ball in critical moments…Marrone…sometimes he does, sometimes he doesn't. Depends on what constipation medicine he took that day.
Fournette has more to give via the passing game, so we're pushing him up this high…there's a lot of upside from his 2017.
6) RB Joe Mixon, Cincinnati
I think there will come a day when Mixon becomes Le'Veon Bell 2.0 and Fantasy GMs kick themselves for doubting it because his rookie season was nothing special (to the human eye). The Bengals will build the offense around Mixon and he will be a ground-air threat like a watered-down Le'Veon. Not a full-fledged Le'Veon because old-school coaches never fully commit to stars. Marvin Lewis will sit Mixon at times for Gio Bernard if he has the chance. The Rams go all-in on Gurley. The 2016 Cardinals went all-in on David Johnson. I fear Marvin Lewis will only go mostly-in on Mixon in 2018. Someday soon Mixon will click.
You also have to like that Mixon will just be 22 years-old next season. Still young and lower miles. Room to grow.
7) WR Michael Thomas, New Orleans
My long-time readers will likely be taken aback by seeing Thomas this high on the list after I spent two years crowing about how mediocre Thomas was as a talent.
I've learned my lesson, the hard way, in 2017…something that was there for years but I always fought it trying to be the smartest scout in the room – athleticism/talent take a back seat to relationship with the QB/coach. I don't even mean 'BFF' type relationship…I mean the WR that gets 'the reps' with the QB. The guy pushed as the #1 WR because he runs the playbook properly. Tyreek Hill or Tarik Cohen are enigmas for dull, drab, classically trained O-Cs. They don't have plays in a playbook for playmakers. They do have 'you go here' and by the time you turn the QB has the ball on the way…so 'being in the right place at the right time' is more coveted than 'playmaker'. You think I'm crazy…it's been true to a fault for my decade of football work. I just keep thinking someone will wake up. But it hasn't come close to happening yet.
Thomas is the preferred guy for New Orleans and no one else, no other talent brought in at WR will matter. They could add Tyreek Hill and Antonio Brown…and Thomas would lead the team in targets (see: Keenan Allen).
I prefer 'makes plays' or 'great after the catch' talents but I need to get over myself. The NFL prefers 'did he get to the 5-yard out in rhythm with the QB?' WRs. Where I see QB-WR BFFs…I'll be there from now on.
Also, another season Thomas is so high here – lack of young WRs in that role/making a difference. What Thomas does/has done is a rarity among the 2015-2016-2017 draft classes so far. Most 1st-round pick WRs of the past two years have been near-busts. Even Amari Cooper died and went to WR heaven in 2017. It'll be a while before you see the next WR on this list…and you'll be shocked by who it is.
8) RB Ezekiel Elliott, Dallas
I started with Elliott behind Kamara, and then wondered if that was right…and then wondered would I rather have Fournette or Elliott and wondered whether my answer was based on favoritism (I don't like Elliott all that much) or legit scouting.
I will justify this Elliott ranking this way…
If I knew Elliott and Fournette both played 16 games next season, who would I rather have for fantasy? Elliott by a nose.
But which guy will be a productive star in 2020 and which one will be suspended for making the wrong kind of headlines? – I think we know 'which is which' there. That's my hesitation with Elliott. Perfect situation in Dallas. Talented enough. Not David Johnson but better than Melvin Gordon. I want to love Elliott…but I also don't want to deal with the fall…the out of shape, the drugs, etc. The risk of these things drags Elliott behind Fournette but still barely ahead of Kamara in PPR.
9) RB Alvin Kamara, New Orleans
I evaluated Kamara improperly pre-Draft 2017. I thought he was being pushed as a between the tackles workhorse who could also catch the ball really well. I believed most NFL teams were looking at him as a three-down guy, and I rejected that. I saw a flawed between the tackles runner who could catch but wasn't like the greatest receiving RB who I had ever seen.
When I saw Kamara had landed with the Saints, I warmed up to him as a likely PPR weapon…but still skeptical on how great that was going to be. Hey, Pierre Thomas was doing the same thing Kamara is, to some degree, in this offense.
Kamara had a terrific rookie year and looked untackleable at times this season. It's the simplest thing, and I over looked it – I don't see Kamara working well between the tackles unless he gets big gaping holes to run through, which he had at times this season. The hidden Kamara value was a 215-pound RB being used like the Redskins use Chris Thompson. Of course, Kamara broke a lot of tackles…he's 215+ pounds racing to meet DBs downfield. The Saints get Kamara out in space and then let him use his toughness, skills, and most importantly…size to his advantage. There are several RBs who could do this, but the Saints are that rare team that actually uses theirs. It won't change any time soon because Sean Payton is literally, romantically in love with Kamara.
I think Kamara will fall back to earth some, but I also know the fall won't be too far because he'll get 5-6 catches a game without fail.
10) TE O.J. Howard, Tampa Bay
The future of the fantasy tight end position lies with 'freaks' Evan Engram and O.J. Howard. They are TE prospects like none we've ever seen…the size and speed are unnatural.
Engram is more 'freaky' than OJH, so he gets the push ahead of Howard. But Howard is probably going to break out in 2018 and make it an interesting debate between the two. Engram and Howard are so clearly ahead of the young TE pack that you have to push them way up on a ranking like this…for scarcity reasons.
11) QB Jared Goff, LA Rams
Of the QBs we have ranked in the top 25 overall here, I think Jared Goff is the least appealing on the surface for fantasy, in general, because he is nothing as a runner, but where Goff picks up the fantasy slack is – he's teamed with Sean McVay. If Goff were with Sean McDermott or Vance Joseph, as two examples, we'd be discussing Goff as a potential draft bust and he wouldn't crack the top 50-100 on this list. I don't mean that Goff is being propped up by McVay…I mean it in the sense that Goff is really talented plus he got a major bump getting paired with McVay. He's the potential Tom Brady of our generation…and working with a pro-offensive head coach. Goff is fantasy relevant as a top guy because of McVay's style…the anti-Doug Marrone.
Better in a 6pts per pass TD league and/or with 300+ bonuses. Not ahead of Wentz/Dak in a strictly 4pts per pass TD league, probably.
12) RB Kareem Hunt, Kansas City
I was a Kareem Hunt fan before it was cool…and then I cooled on him going to KC because Spencer Ware wasn't going to just disappear. Then, Ware disappeared (with injury).
Hunt had a stunning Week 1 debut in primetime against the Patriots in 2017…and a star was born. For about three weeks to start the 2017 season, people were pushing him as the RB in the NFL/fantasy for now and the future. I liked Hunt too, but I knew that valuation was crazy and told people to sell high…and if they did, they were thankful they did.
Hunt fell off the face of the earth for half the season and then rebounded to life late. He's finally at proper valuation – not the top guy, but in the discussion. Why 'in the discussion'? Andy Reid is addicted to running the ball and swinging passes to his RB. And he named his RB coach (Eric Bienemy) to become the new O-C…so they could keep running heavy despite having a magical gunslinging QB for 2018 (Mahomes).
Hunt being in the top 5 RBs for fantasy next season would not shock me but falling outside the top 10 is on the table for the mere fact that Spencer Ware is back. If Ware returns fine, he'll be the backup…but he'll get touches. Ware is good enough to get hot and steal more share. It's great for KC…running game diversification. Not great for Hunt for FF 2018. If Ware is cut/traded and they still have a lesser-talent backup like Charcandrick West…all-in on Hunt, but if Ware is back…he's going to siphon off some touches.
13) QB Dak Prescott, Dallas
People slam Dak for his performance drop with Ezekiel Elliott out, although it was really more to do with LT Tyron Smith being out. But let's not get bogged down in that debate…regardless, Dak died for 3-4 games and then perked back up. Before all that, Dak was one of the top 3 fantasy QBs in the league for the prior 20 games. He's been a fantasy ace, derailed when he lost some weapons.
OK, so if the weapons are back…then Dak goes back to great again, right? Plus, what happens when Dallas remakes their entire WR group for Dak in 2018? There's a lot to like.
We also can't ignore Dak is human…dependent. Other QBs didn't curl up ans die like Dak (for fantasy) when they lost key offensive members. Before the Ezekiel thing, Dak was arguably the best young fantasy QB out there…now, there's some doubt/concerns and he's 'in the mix' now, not the clear top guy.
14) RB/WR Tarik Cohen, Chicago
I think Tarik Cohen could be a different but similar version of Tyreek Hill…a guy who is a better pure receiver than Hill, but not the athlete Hill is…but still a top athlete (no one is the athlete Tyreek is).
If Cohen stays as an RB who takes a few carries, sees a few targets…is a 'change of pace' back – then he is not better than an RB2-2.5 in PPR. However, there is a real upside here – Cohen could be classified as an RB but play 50-50 RB/WR…like a legit WR; a radical weapon in the passing game (like when he caught 8 passes in each of his first two NFL games in 2017). You also have the possibility that Cohen is designated as a WR…and plays as a radical, Tyreek-like WR while still taking 2-5 carries a game.
The upside is delicious, and I want in on it. There are a million 'good' players to possess in the NFL/fantasy. There are only a few radical/special ones…Cohen is one of those guys.
We'll all look back someday and be surprised that Cohen was the better radical passing game RB than Christian McCaffrey.
Obviously, Cohen's real world value is a lot less than this and I wouldn't take him this highly if this were a real draft, but I am showing where I value him here. I want a shot at 'special' for fantasy.
15) QB Mitchell Trubisky, Chicago (+2 spots)
I'll say it for the thousandth time this year – Jimmy Garoppolo was the best pure QB talent I think I had ever laid eyes on as a scout…until I saw Mitchell Trubisky. Tall, big arm, Aaron Rodgers-like feet (and arm/delivery), and a stunning ability to place passes in perfect spots throwing from any arm angle or cleanliness of pocket. He is a quarterback prospect created in a lab or in a video game.
Trubisky getting stuck with John Fox as a rookie is like Jared Goff getting stuck with Jeff Fisher. Goff got Sean McVay…we'll have to see what Matt Nagy brings to the table. It's more positive than negative but there is a reason to bridle some of the enthusiasm. I think Trubisky's ceiling is higher, for fantasy and NFL, than any QB on this list.
He sits in this spot trying to interpret coaching/offense impact, etc.
16) RB Jordan Howard, Chicago
Back-to-back 1,000+ yard rushing seasons for Howard, but fewer yards in 2017 (1,122 rushing yards in 16 games/16 starts) despite more games played/starts than he played in 2016 (1,313 rushing in 15 games/13 starts). Howard's catch count went down as well (29 to 23). 2017 was a solid season but not like 'wow'. He had some big games but mostly a lot of 'OK' games as the Chicago offense embarrassed themselves on a weekly basis, one of the most predictable, sad offenses in the NFL (and their O-C in 2017 was able to land a gig with the Dolphins for 2018…).
Is Howard just a mediocre-to-good fantasy RB…or is there an upside?
There's a little upside in that they have an ace QB under development and rising tide will lift all boats. However, Howard has a Tarik Cohen factor to deal with…not that Howard would lose his job, but he can have touches and TDs siphoned off by the electric Cohen.
Howard is stable but his upside seems stuck…it doesn't seem like he'll be a top 3 fantasy RB, especially in PPR (he has bad hands), but he'll be a safe top 10 RB. I like him but I don't want to pay a fair price for him, if I can help it.
17) QB Deshaun Watson, Houston (-2 spots)
I know Watson is the 'bee's knees' right now. His value in fantasy circles is twice Goff-Trubisky's. I could draft Watson and trade him for Goff + nice stuff or Trubisky + nice stuff if I wanted. I could see him among the top seven overall on this list considering the extreme valuation with the public today…the current trade value.
In addition… This is fantasy. If I were building an NFL team give me Trubisky-Goff, but for fantasy, and especially in 4pts per pass TD leagues…we have to acknowledge the statistical advantage of having a great runner for numbers who is a decent passer.
I'm a Watson skeptic, but his running ability makes him a top 10 fantasy QB more often than not. If he's as good as his debut…he's a #1 fantasy QB contender. If he comes down to earth, he's still viable with his penchant for running. He's not my favorite guy but I see the value. Between injury risks and his weaker QB skills, I think there's some reason to believe Watson could drop hard and fast…. His 4-5 games of magic may have been a blip that will be figured out quickly. However, keep him in the spread offense and he will always produce fantasy numbers.
The fact that Bill O'Brien built and offense around Watson instead of forcing Watson into a 'system' – I respect that for FF. I'm a Watson skeptic, as a passer, so I'd likely take Watson to trade him to take the risk off the table.
18) WR Amari Cooper, Oakland (+3 spots)
How amazing is this fall from grace? He would have been top 10 doing this report same time in 2017…top 5 same time 2016. He should've been one of the best WRs in the NFL by now…but he suddenly isn't even the best WR on his own team today.
Cooper gets a reset with a new coaching staff. Amari has flashed brilliance before. Banking he returns to his 'norm' or better and discounting the terrible 2017. Also, considering the lack of 'great' WR prospects available in this mock draft…I have to push Amari up this high – betting on the come.
19) RB Melvin Gordon, LA Chargers
I've been a Melvin Gordon detractor since day-day one. I think he's a 'C' talent getting shoved 'A' touches…so you get nice 'B+' fantasy output.
If you look over this list, the names ahead of Gordon – a lot of running backs. More solid, talented RBs coming after him on this list as well. There are far more talented RBs than Gordon, but I acknowledge that Gordon is the center of the Chargers' universe – and that has fantasy value. However, I worry Gordon is breaking down a little and I know he is not that talented (compared to the other top RBs)…and he works with a fading offense and a head coach I don't trust. However, he gets all their cheap, short TD runs…and that matters.
There are so many other young, talented RBs to choose from who their teams are also in love with that I discount Gordon more than most. I just have a bad feeling, but I get he gets all the touches and cheap scores.
20) RB Christian McCaffrey, Carolina
He's going as far as his targets will take him. He's the new Danny Woodhead, only people believe he is much more than that…he's not. I mean, he is a better downfield receiver. However, they are the same runner…limited, not workhorse backs. Good for a few (5-10) carries, but they make their value in huge targets/catches for an RB.
Norv Turner has arrived, and I don't recall his offenses really getting radical passing to RBs in any spot ever…craft was honed before this whole PPR-back revolution. I'm sure McCaffrey will see solid targets to keep a fringe RB1 status in PPR…but I don't see him going crazy with targets/receiving numbers and spiking into an Alvin Kamara circa 2017. He's not a bigger back like Kamara, nor does he play in as innovative an offense. I like McCaffrey a lot…but only to a certain point in fantasy.
21) QB Carson Wentz, Philadelphia (-3 spots)
Obviously, he's a much better passer than I graded/saw coming out of college…although I'm still a touch skeptical. When Wentz's main left tackle went down in 2017, he just rolled on. When Dak's left tackle went down…Prescott died. I cannot ignore that. As much as I like Dak better for the NFL…Wentz might be the better fantasy play because he's around a better coaching staff.
You could argue Wentz should be ahead of guys like Goff and Trubisky straight up considering how many people play in a 4pts per pass TD league…and that favors the runners. Wentz ranked above them is logical in 4pts per pass TD leagues.
However, there is reason for doubt – Wentz coming off a serious injury in 2017. Wentz also struggling mightily in 2016, and while his 2017 was stellar…when I watched him every week in 2017 I saw a lot of flaws still. I did see the magic of him escaping and making plays on the run in 2017 too. Overall, he's fine but he's not the 'given' people make him out to be. I still have some skepticism that struggles could ensure…enough to maybe warrant a lesser draft status for fantasy.
Given his mobility. Given what he did in 2017. Given he has a pro-offense coach, I should push Wentz higher. However, I have a nagging suspicion on him not being as great as his 2017 flash. I'm willing to miss the party to listen to that little voice in my head. I see the signs for 'greatness' but I have a few concerns…and there are too many other fantasy QBs to choose from now.
22) QB Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City
With Alex Smith for sure gone now, it's Mahomes's ball game. This is going one of two ways right off the bat…
Either Mahomes is given the freedom to run his style of offense, and he's going to lead a wild wild west explosion of yards and TD passes...
Mahomes is put in a box to run a very conservative west coast offense…one now being coached by conservative Andy Reid and a run-game slave (new) O-C in Eric Bienemy.
You don't draft Mahomes to put him into a box…you wouldn't think, but that's exactly the type of nonsense the NFL does all the time. I don't even know where to put Mahomes on this list. He might end up being the best QB, for fantasy, of any one of the guys on here. He also might be a colossal bust, in a sense, in that once he starts turning the ball over (and he will with his style), everyone freaks out and tries to double-time change his style…and then it's confusion, which leads to Andy Reid getting fired and who knows what coming in to coach next.
The NFL almost always votes playbook and coaching philosophy/system over changing their 'system' to fit what the player does best…so, it's going to be interesting to see what KC does with this playmaking gunslinger Brett Favre reincarnation.
If Mahomes does meet with radical success immediately…he's the sixth QB we have in 22 picks/names here. And, thus, the QB economics of fantasy are dangerously close to being radically oversupplied. Mahomes is a 'tipping point' name that might send the NFL/fantasy awash in higher-end QB talent.
23) LB Blake Martinez, Green Bay
I loved Martinez coming out of Stanford…thought he was the best coverer of RBs coming out of the backfield in the passing game that I might have ever studied. I thought he'd be a solid tackler, but I never thought he'd lead the league in tackles – which he did (tied) in 2017. Not only is Martinez one of the best coverage linebackers, but now he's racking tackles. A great prospect and should be the Packers' main man in the middle with the change to Mike Pettine as their D-C.
Is Martinez becoming a poor man's or middle-class person's Luke Kuechly?
24) TE George Kittle, San Francisco
I wondered if I should have Hunter Henry ahead of Kittle on this list, but we never know when Antonio Gates is going to retire, and I think we've seen Henry is a solid NFL TE…but Henry works in an offense I don't trust with a QB who is fading slightly every year.
On the other hand, Kittle has all the excitement factors – the main receiving TE for his team with no real threat on the roster, plus an exciting young QB to work with. Kittle is a higher-end athlete at the position who was quiet in a weak Iowa offense in college but showed off skills as a rookie in the NFL. The upside and the surrounding cast gives Kittle a slight nod over Henry – betting on upside. Henry is a safer pick but Kittle may be the one that makes you smile if he hits his upside.
25) WR Corey Davis, Tennessee
I was as unimpressed with Davis's 2017 debut as you likely were. There were moments where he looked good, but mostly he was average-looking as a rookie. High, first-round draft pick WRs have been garbage for the past few years. There are a lot of headwinds here.
However, Davis has 'draft status'. He plays with a good QB. Mike Mularkey is gone. In a fantasy world desperate for true WR1s, and with this list lacking in WRs…we have Davis as a bit of a reach here.
I'll be doing a 'Rewind' study of Davis, I'm sure, in the next few weeks/months. Trying to get a better feel if he's a 'B' WR shoved into an 'A' spotlight…or if there is an 'A' WR prospect here. Remember, he didn't participate in the NFL Combine or a Pro Day. He missed the preseason. He could be a fraud or star under all our noses.
26) TE Hunter Henry, LA Chargers
I have an urge to put Henry higher on this list, but Antonio Gates is lurking around still, as of this writing. I don't love the Chargers' passing game – Henry is great one week and a ghost the next for targets from Philip Rivers.
There are only so many TEs to get excited about, and Henry is one that doesn't fully excite me. He's good but needs targets to light the candle. Zach Ertz and Travis Kelce are not super-special, but they are in a great place for targets, etc. Henry could be Ertz for 2018…or still be the same Henry of 2016–2017, random spasms of output. Philip Rivers isn't getting any younger either.
27) RB Derrick Henry, Tennessee
The more likely Demarco Murray gets cut (and he should) the higher Derrick Henry goes on this list. I think Henry is a very good power running prospect, but I'm suspicious of him doing much else for fantasy – poor hands and a style that would fit better as part of a duo, and Henry as part of an RBBC is a fantasy nightmare.
He did go to Alabama, and that's the #1 attribute of desire for any NFL team…so, it's not impossible that Henry has the whole offense built around him for new HC Mike Vrabel. I don't know if he's closer to Jordan Howard or LeGarrette Blount for fantasy production in 2018.
**LATE ADD/OMMISSION** WR Stefon Diggs, Minnesota -- A better version of Sterling Shepard, and I'd like to go higher with him but unsure who he'll be working with at QB and how the new offense will work for him.
28) WR Sterling Shepard, NY Giants
What if Odell Beckham goes down again?
What if Odell Beckham goes off the rails…and/or gets traded?
What if the Giants just develop a better passing attack under new management and Sterling Shepard can operate as a great #2 WR in the shadows of OBJ taking all the coverage heat?
Shepard has 7 or more catches in a game in 5 of his last 13 games. He has 80 catches in his last 16 games (5.0 per game). He may just be waiting to breakout as a more of a '1b' WR than just a sidekick #2 or #3. Pat Shurmur is just the guy to amp up the Giants' passing game.
The downside seems minimal…the upside may be surprising. And, again…we're groping for WRs in this draft.
29) DE Joey Bosa, LA Chargers
I predicted against it…but Bosa has become a top sack man in the NFL. He's a good pass rusher…not 'great' for me, but I marvel at how many second-chance sacks he gets. He never gives up and seems to find a way to hunt down a scrambling or seemingly-moved-out-of-the-way QB. Style points don't count in IDP, sacks do…and if sacks weigh heavy in your scoring system, then Bosa is your guy.
12.5 sacks last season, but just 4.0 TFLs…because he's more a chase-the-QB guy. Hey, it works for IDP sack points. Bosa also had a decent amount of tackles for a DE. He's producing better numbers as a DL than any other DE in the past three drafts.
30) LB Jatavis Brown, LA Chargers
Brown was not invited to the Senior Bowl or NFL Combine in 2016 and wound up an unheralded 5th-round draft pick that people weren't sure could make the Chargers' roster. We graded Brown as one of the 10 best players in the 2016 NFL Draft.
Brown didn't begin 2016 as a starter but forced his way into the lineup and was arguably one of the three best rookie defensive players that season – 79 tackles (led team in just 12 games played), 6 PDs, 3.5 TFLs, 4.0 TFLs, 2 forced fumbles. He was great.
Jatavis was even better to start 2017…leading the league in tackles after the first three weeks with 10+ tackles in each of his first three games. He then got dinged up and started playing less snaps, and then was effectively benched/a backup. One of the most surreal lineup decisions I've ever seen in the NFL.
I have no idea what the issue is with him and new coach Anthony Lynn but it's an IDP killer right now. However, if Brown either gets his job back or is traded to start elsewhere – he's a top 3 IDP producer among all IDPs. He seems like a bit of a lost cause at the moment, but he's no ordinary sleeper…he could be THE best IDP in all the NFL when he gets his starting role back.
**Top 30 in the books…going to wrap this up by posting five more players with 1-2 liners per day until we hit the top 50 and then we're done for this round.**
31) RB Dalvin Cook, Minnesota – I'm not a huge fan, but Mike Zimmer is. He's going to get all the touches and that's valuable…but could be a bad offense he's working in come 2018 kickoff.
32) WR Cooper Kupp, LA Rams – I wasn't as impressed as I wanted to be with his 2017, and I'm a Robert Woods guy as Goff's #1. However, Kupp is going to be given a hundred chances to be the #1 over the next few years…he might seize it eventually. Even a #2 on a top offense is
33) LB Joe Schobert, Cleveland – Tied for the league lead in tackles in 2017…and among the three guys tied at the top, Schobert had the most sacks (3.0) and forced fumbles (3). It was only Schobert's first season as an inside linebacker and he got even better as the season wore on. He has the same coaching staff back for one more year, and the team should be as bad as ever – leading to lots of tackle opportunities as the defense is forever on the field. A bright young star tackler with great anticipation skills.
34) LB Kwon Alexander, Tampa Bay – Was a top 15-20 guy on this list last season. Had a drop off in 2017. Still a hot IDP producer when everything is clicking.
35) WR Cameron Meredith, Chicago – Risky business. If he's back fine, with modern medical procedures being so amazing…he's the incumbent #1 WR for this team. Rookie WRs have been garbage, so I'm not afraid of the draft. I'm worried about free agency or whether Meredith is 'right'. If he is right and everything falls his way…he's a #1 WR with an ace QB and an offensive-minded staff.
36) RB Samaje Perine, Washington – primed to be the Redskins #1 RB…and then a possible RB1 if he gets the workload. He's more talented than the general sentiment seems to be out in football analyst-land.
37) DB Kevin Byard, Tennessee – Would have had higher on this list if not for the new coaching staff. He was 'the guy' for the old regime. Assume he will be for the new one, but we'll have to see.
38) SAF Landon Collins, NY Giants – Not my favorite safety, but he produces and that matters.
39) PK Harrison Butker, Kansas City – Seems crazy to put a kicker on here but Butker has the best leg I've seen on a young kicker since Greg Zuerlein. Butker had a big rookie campaign to prove his worth early…and plays on a team that kicks a lot of FGs.
40) WR Tyrell Williams, LA Chargers – I cry about how the new Chargers' regime and Philip Rivers ignore this talent and we're all wasting our time, probably…but if this talent ever gets the right chance, he could put up magical numbers. He's a great fantasy WR and a good NFL one…if that makes sense. He's capable of a WR1/top 5 scoring season among WRs…and we have to respect that.
41) WR Trent Taylor, San Francisco – This could be the wrongest prediction ever, but if I'm right…it's big money. Taylor to be Garoppolo's Julian Edelman/Wes Welker, because he's seen up close how that works for the past three years.
42) LB Dylan Cole, Houston – Not exactly sure why I put him here. I mean, no one would draft him but me and I think he's more of a top 20 talent and future 'wow' IDP potentially. But here he is – my favorite IDP sleeper in the NFL, him and Jatavis Brown (who is suddenly a sleeper again for some reason).
43) RB Kenyan Drake, Miami – Suddenly, in line for a starting job and that's worth something. He looked great with the opportunity late 2017. However, I don't trust his team, his coach, his QB, or that Drake can stay healthy for 16 games or stay out of trouble. Other than that, he has my endorsement. He's a guy I would trade hot before the season if he is 'the guy' going into the preseason. His value is in trading it.
44) DE Demarcus Lawrence, Dallas – I don't know what happened in his weird 2016, but in 2017 (16 games) and his last 8 games of 2015…24 games and 21.5 sacks. He's a sack machine. The player I may have been the most wrong about in the history of my scouting.
45) TE Rico Gathers, Dallas – Did you forget about him? Remember that exciting couple of weeks in the 2017 preseason? He returns 2018 and Jason Witten is about to crumble into dust and blow away.
46) WR Corey Coleman, Cleveland – He should be higher up than this but the Cleveland Browns are a team where talent goes to die. Until Coleman leaves CLE or they get a real coaching staff in…you can't trust he'll ever matter in FF. He's a much better WR talent than people realize…not just athletically, but as a worker/grinder WR. I thought he was all athlete (and elite at that)…he's actually tough and a technician of sorts…with crappy QB play. Someday…but not in Cleveland.
48) LB T.J. Watt, Pittsburgh – Can do it all…rush the passer, cover receivers and play the run game. He could be higher on this list if he were classified a DE someday.
48) DE Matt Judon, Baltimore – Top 5 IDP DL scorer in 2017. Was a fan of his as a sleeper since watching his tape pre-Draft and seeing him work in the preseasons. He a really good, savvy NFL pass rusher/defender.
49) DB Desmond King, LA Chargers – I've always liked his game from the first time I watched tape pre-Senior Bowl 2017. He does a little of everything…willing, quality tackler, savvy in coverage, gives you something in the return game. His measurables are OK, but his actual play shows much better. Really came on 2nd-half of the season when he got more playing time. Was waffling on Budda Baker or King here and went King at the last second.
50) DL Solomon Thomas, San Fran – Just in case 'DT' designation matters in your IDP and if they moved him to 4-3 DT you could have a superstar stat producer on your hands. A poor man's Aaron Donald, maybe.
Others considered:
DB Budda Baker, Arizona
DL DeForest Buckner, San Francisco
DE Taco Charlton, Dallas
WR Keelan Cole, Jacksonville
RB Tevin Coleman, Atlanta – 2018 will be another year in a split role and will not be an assumed/ coveted starter in 2019 free agency.
SAF Sean Davis, Pittsburgh – fear a move to CB.
WR Will Fuller, Houston
WR Devin Funchess, Carolina
WR Kenny Golladay, Detroit
LB B.J. Goodson, NY Giants
RB Aaron Jones, Green Bay
SAF Byron Jones, Dallas – fear a move to CB.
QB Marcus Mariota, Tennessee
DB Obi Melifonwu, Oakland
SAF Keanu Neal, Atlanta
DE Yannick Ngakoue, Jacksonville
DE Emmanuel Ogbah, Cleveland
DT Larry Ogunjobi, Cleveland
