Deep Dynasty Stashes 2025 (3 Viewers)

BMI is THE worst metric in FF, IMO.

BMI and its acceptability range for bellcow backs is one of the best statistics in FF, IMO. No other measurement so succinctly disqualifies so many guys from becoming a collegiate or professional running back. Citing one outlier isn’t going to get me to waver on how important that 27-33 range is (and IIRC it’s really 28-32). That and lower body thickness. An excellent measurement that other correlated measures (speed score) use to calculate its equation.

It’s that fundamental to the game.

BMI isn’t even good at what it tries to do. You can be a rocked-up 6’ 200–pounder or be more on the skinny-fattish spectrum as a 6’ 200-pounder. It doesn’t tell you anything other how than how tall you are and how much you weigh. Of those, weight is much more important. In general, the smaller (lighter) you are, the more dynamic you have to be.

There’s too many body composition possibilities to rely on BMI. You can tell how thick somebody is by looking, but even then, you can’t judge strength by it. The number BMI spits out solves none of the puzzle. In fact, I can’t think of a better way to miss on a prospect than to put faith into BMI.

All that said, rock on if you use it. We all have our opinions.

I learned to discret BMI when I got into the best shape of my life and was categorized as obese. BMI simply does not discriminate between muscle and fat, and can't be relied on for any reason.

What are your thoughts on Jacob Cowing WR 49'ers? Deebo Samuel has a 16.6M base with a 4.8 signing bonus in 2025 and is a UFA in 2026 and voidable.

Aiyuk just signed a new contract. Don't know about Jennings. but he's at the very least solidified wr 3 and Pearsall was drafted early this year. Then there's the rb - whoever will have their share of the pass attempts. And that's if they cut/trade Deebo.

I just don't see any avenue to playing time outside of multiple injuries and there were multiple this year.

I tend to agree, but would add it may be slightly more relevant for athletes as most have fairly low body fat (skill positions anyhow). I still do not think it is much of a factor outside of the RB position as most typically prefer meat on the bones at the position. I would be interested in some stats crediting or discrediting if available.
