Week #1: NFL Game Match-Up Analysis via Mastermind Moments (Preview)
Michael Nazarek - 9/8/2026

1) NE @ SEA:

 

Mastermind Moment: Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is a QB2 fantasy start this week. Why? He didn't do much against the Patriots in the Super Bowl, so this game is unlikely to be a shootout due to the two quality defenses involved. RB Zach Charbonnet (knee - PUP) is OUT for 4+ games. Rookie RB Jadarian Price will start, but RB George Holani will be subbed in often, making him only a high-end RB3 at best. Holani should remain benched until he doers something to warrant a fantasy start. WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba returns as the clear WR1 for the Seahawks, making him a top 5 WR1 for fantasy against the Patriots at home. WR Rashid Shaheed is the new WR2 for the team, making him a risky flex option against a quality defense. I want to see how they use him and...

"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."
