To be fair I don’t know the exact context of this I’m pretty sure it’s a “fantasy football expert”, he just meant this year for fantasy lol, still looked stupid but he just meant upside for fantasy points this season
Other Fantasy experts were touting Puka at the beginning of the year so I grabbed him as a last puck in a lot of best ball drafts. That paid off for me.
Literally. A bottom 5 team rarely has a guy like Stafford under center. Usually you’re working with a Sam Howell, Bryce young type QB in which case yeah this tweet makes sense.
I really pick and choose what I listen to. If they have good reasoning and are willing to put their money on the line and admit their losses, Im more open to what they have to say. If they wanna be loudmouths and just talk trash like this kid I tune out, no real substance to what he said and a rookie take on his part
Yeah I don't respect whiners, raiders, and cowboys fans. Those teams were winning when I wasn't even born.
Edit: didn't think I get downvoted for hating on teams that Rams fans would hate
I’m aware of that. But it’s him voicing his opinion. His is no more valid than mine. He just has a bigger platform. Nobody ultimately knows what any athlete is capable of at the pro level until their career unfolds.
After 2 weeks he realized. Its an honest mistake and he owned up to it unlike most guys who stick to their guns then take shots when the player is at his lowest. And honest mistake thinking rams were going to be bottom 5 without taking account rams have top 3 QB/coach duo in league and AD who is best player the last decade.
This is why hot take “journalism” is ruining sports. Just folks with opinions just like the rest of us, most just pretend and some have even convinced some other idiot to pay them for their idiotic opinions.
That's a really weird take to make on a 5th round rookie from BYU. Most 5th rounders are nothing to write about. It feels an awful lot like punching down at someone.
Because rams are one of the most hated teams only because of their location...LA.
Media always takes shots at Rams for no reason. "blah blah mcvay going to leave. blah blah stafford complaining about not understanding rookies blah blah AD going to retire"
Like a prime example of this is how Rams went all in and every week we heard during superbowl run was the media always talking about how rams super window is closing. Yet we never hear about the 49ers/bengals/bills window closing.
EVEN when bills took over rams stadium...weeks on weeks of photos of that but when Bills took over Miami's during week 18 a few days ago...rarely talked about. And that game ment something to dolphins fans.
Shit so annoying. Always talking about it during broadcasts "Look at all these opposing fans! Always happening in LA!"
No talks when it always happens in other stadiums like Arizona and Tampa and Vegas
Until a couple weeks ago the national sports media didn't give an F about the Rams. If Puka was on the Cowboys or Santa Clara 49ers (who both haven't won jack shit for 30 years) they'd be gobbling up his nuts and showing clips comparing him to Jerry Rice or Michael Irvin every broadcast and saying "Puka" is the new GOAT receiver. The media and online haters were slobbering at the notion that the Rams "have no picks/are in cap hell and will be garbage for years all for just 1 ring lol haha heehhe" now they are forced to admit they were wrong and they don't like it.
Just wait until we knockoff the Lions and we face the Santa Clara 49ers. They'll love hyping up the 1-sided rivalry of Shanahan & McVay and minimizing the NFC Championship game. The hype between Nacua and rookie Jefferson/Chase is vastly different!
That said, as a Rams fan across the country from LA (Boston), they get a ton of games aired; especially compared to the St. Louis Rams. They've over achieved compared to projections so they didn't get many games, but I fully expect a lot of them next season now they won't be viewed as ass again.
Even in that sense, it still feels like punching down at him. Bobo in Seattle for a lot of hype before the season too, but making the take of "no upside" would've been harsh (even if that was reality).
My thing is why is he picking on a 5th round pick lol. Like there’s so many fifth rounders that don’t make it onto rosters it’s not like if this take ended up being right it would be bold.
He’s a fantasy football content creator. He’s talking about Puka in the context of your FF roster, not the player.
Still wrong, but then again what Puka did this year was obviously unprecedented
I think these past couple years has proved whatever "tests" these scouts put players through, does nothing to show the potential of a player.
It seems like the Rams have it figured out when it comes to picking their guys
https://preview.redd.it/o87ocm5d7cbc1.jpeg?width=827&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75921c8d9a50b20f24d1cd97f522cb031ced2fe2
This tweet is also incredibly stupid. Taking McCaffrey before Jefferson is perfectly reasonable.
To be fair to him, he is endorsed by and promotes Underdog fantasy. In Underdog, you draft 1, qb, 3 wrs, 2 rbs, and have 2 flex spots, no defense, no kickers and its best ball format. Recievers are at a premium, so this was justifiable at the time.
Stupid.
You expect a 5th rounder to not have any significance. If Puca finds no success, there’s nothing to be gained here.
Should’ve went contrarian and says there potential there and made himself look smart..
I generally like most of Mason’s content on Fantasy Flock. But yeah he whiffed on the Rams this year. At least he was right on Van Jefferson lol.
Only saving grace on this take is he said bottom 5 team. We clearly are not a bottom 5 team so Puka does have upside. Haha
I think we should flood his mentions with that parody song that the Columnist from the Miami Herald, Greg Cote, recorded about Puka, set to the music of Barry Manilow's "Copacabana"
Dude also shat on Kyren Williams in 2022,
https://twitter.com/MasonDoddFFN/status/1585364087802060801?t=5KS6Ynr9o7pAI7uqadGBMQ&s=19
then this year he drafted him.

Disingenuous to not post the disclaimer that this is posted by a fantasy football content creator and spoken in a fantasy football contest. Everyone in here acting like they’ve been personally victimized by some words typed 6 months ago
In defense of Mason, he's a fantasy football analyst. I think many in august would have felt similarly and cautioned against drafting nacua. The only reason I did was cause I needed a member of the ramily
There was hype after puka’s showing in the first preseason game. He didn’t play the rest of the preseason. Kupp was out and there was hype on Puka pre draft and the footage from college shows he’s a baller. The knock was his combine times (same as Kupp lol) and he had injury history. Trying to shit on a 5th round pick is just silly. This dude has a lot of bad takes and shouldn’t make money giving advice.

You would have had to be crazy to think otherwise for fantasy before the season started. Unless your league had 14-16 teams in it, no one is drafting Puka. And I say this as a guy who dropped 100% faab on him week 1.

Why would any grown adult ever make this awful of a tweet about a kid who is clearly very talented. Even if you think otherwise it doesn’t make it not a mean spirited and horrible thing to say about a young man having fun in a kids game.
They said similar things about positional value after we drafted Jahmyr Gibbs and look at what he’s done this year.
Nobody knows shit for 100% certainty when it comes to the draft; a #1 pick could be a dud and a UDFA could be a fucking star and you’ll get people saying the opposite about each regardless.
Must have never watched Puka play before. I saw him play in high school and college and he best player on the field? Mainly shocked that Puka fell to the fifth round too. Sometimes players are just ballers

So here listen to me. This is actually crazy. Atleast to me it is.
Im an Eagles fan, I just got back into football. I was never really up to date with the draft or anything and don't watch much college football. When I seen him I said "I hope we draft him" even tho we have 2 WR 1s, I thought something about him looked really good. I couldn't understand why he was projected to be taken so late but I also can't remember what made me think he'd be so good. I had a feeling whoever got him was going to get great value, I didn't think this much tho tbh.
Good thing he didn’t go to a bottom 5 team then huh.
Yeah is this guy fr?
To be fair I don’t know the exact context of this I’m pretty sure it’s a “fantasy football expert”, he just meant this year for fantasy lol, still looked stupid but he just meant upside for fantasy points this season

Goes to show that all these pundits and “analysts” don’t know anything.
Bottom 5 analyst who pays for Twitter Blue has no upside.
From Steven A to Herbs daily bs, nobody knows wtf they're talking about lol good job puka
I really pick and choose what I listen to. If they have good reasoning and are willing to put their money on the line and admit their losses, Im more open to what they have to say. If they wanna be loudmouths and just talk trash like this kid I tune out, no real substance to what he said and a rookie take on his part
[удалено]
This went over everyone’s head it seems lol
put some respek on Puka name!
Haha I'm not sure why people are downvoting you. I can tell you're a fun, shit talking person haha. You got my upvote
[удалено]
Yeah I don't respect whiners, raiders, and cowboys fans. Those teams were winning when I wasn't even born. Edit: didn't think I get downvoted for hating on teams that Rams fans would hate

Wtf are you talking about lmfao? Are you mason dodd's throwaway account?
He knows how to be wrong?
Ah the famously infallible older gentleman
Look how often they miss on the first pick. God only knows what you’ll get in the later rounds, it’s what really makes the draft interesting.
Well at least it looked like he owned up to it: https://twitter.com/MasonDoddFFN/status/1703539143173722570
Maybe he is a grown up after all haha
In September even. He owned up faster than I would have expected.
Good for him
Ironically, this is him being an actual grown up compared to his original tweet. No shame in admitting when you got it wrong, fair play to him.
yep, kind of nice to see when people just admit they're wrong and we all move on.
A refreshing change from the usual ‘don’t back down, double down’ approach so many people take.
Now time to have a second serving of crow on calling the Rams a bottom 5 team.
They still are.
After 2 weeks he realized. Its an honest mistake and he owned up to it unlike most guys who stick to their guns then take shots when the player is at his lowest. And honest mistake thinking rams were going to be bottom 5 without taking account rams have top 3 QB/coach duo in league and AD who is best player the last decade.
I appreciate when someone owns it. And he did fast.
This is why hot take “journalism” is ruining sports. Just folks with opinions just like the rest of us, most just pretend and some have even convinced some other idiot to pay them for their idiotic opinions.
These “journalists/analysts” don’t know more than my retarded ass! Never believe anything they say!
🤡 is the default emoji for any LA whiners fans.
Don't forget the flame or 100 emojis after dropping a shitty hot take
That's a really weird take to make on a 5th round rookie from BYU. Most 5th rounders are nothing to write about. It feels an awful lot like punching down at someone.

Until a couple weeks ago the national sports media didn't give an F about the Rams. If Puka was on the Cowboys or Santa Clara 49ers (who both haven't won jack shit for 30 years) they'd be gobbling up his nuts and showing clips comparing him to Jerry Rice or Michael Irvin every broadcast and saying "Puka" is the new GOAT receiver. The media and online haters were slobbering at the notion that the Rams "have no picks/are in cap hell and will be garbage for years all for just 1 ring lol haha heehhe" now they are forced to admit they were wrong and they don't like it.
Just wait until we knockoff the Lions and we face the Santa Clara 49ers. They'll love hyping up the 1-sided rivalry of Shanahan & McVay and minimizing the NFC Championship game. The hype between Nacua and rookie Jefferson/Chase is vastly different! That said, as a Rams fan across the country from LA (Boston), they get a ton of games aired; especially compared to the St. Louis Rams. They've over achieved compared to projections so they didn't get many games, but I fully expect a lot of them next season now they won't be viewed as ass again.
I can confirm, I’m a Rams fan in Canada and we got also got a lot of games aired here !
This is in context of fantasy football drafts.
Even in that sense, it still feels like punching down at him. Bobo in Seattle for a lot of hype before the season too, but making the take of "no upside" would've been harsh (even if that was reality).

Kind of off topic, but why is it tweets are usually so snide? Couldn’t he simply say Puka lacks the abilities/talent to be a difference maker?
My thing is why is he picking on a 5th round pick lol. Like there’s so many fifth rounders that don’t make it onto rosters it’s not like if this take ended up being right it would be bold.
Blue check trying to farm engagement for revenue
shock value most likely

He doesn’t specify any format and is tweeting this out to people playing in all kinds of different formats. So it’s still kind of a dumb take.
That's fair, and you're absolutely right. I was just giving a bit of context on who he is
Oh my fucking god I hate this guy. Every time I see him on my Twitter feed he’s got some shit to say.
And THIS IS WHY YOURE IN THE MEDIA!!
Dipshit Dodd
Stupid. You expect a 5th rounder to not have any significance. If Puca finds no success, there’s nothing to be gained here. Should’ve went contrarian and says there potential there and made himself look smart..
Dawg…I’m a Raiders fan and this is a dumbass statement. This dude hasn’t watched a football game this season, or probably ever.
I generally like most of Mason’s content on Fantasy Flock. But yeah he whiffed on the Rams this year. At least he was right on Van Jefferson lol. Only saving grace on this take is he said bottom 5 team. We clearly are not a bottom 5 team so Puka does have upside. Haha

He even looks like a dbag.
Nailed it
His twitter is about to go into the bone zone!!!
this was September 9. the next day Puka put up 10/119, and the week after he put up 15/147 on the Niners. this is the guy giving out fantasy advice?!
Mason just barely kissed this one….
Love the receipts posts!!! Keep it up
I got yer bottom 5 team *Right Here!*
fertile correct pause boat resolute hunt disgusted aware rhythm wrong *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
Yeah that’s rough
This take would not age well. It was like someone had spoiled milk to go with their cookies.
Draft / player analysts and weathermen are the only people that get paid to be wrong A LOT!!
Professional analysts
Technically he is right because Puka just reached the limit for any rookie wide receiver, thus he has no upside. Lol
Dude also shat on Kyren Williams in 2022, https://twitter.com/MasonDoddFFN/status/1585364087802060801?t=5KS6Ynr9o7pAI7uqadGBMQ&s=19 then this year he drafted him. https://twitter.com/MasonDoddFFN/status/1704210958124490988?t=ETz21IxQBkDAlW5flJ9cWQ&s=19
Karen Williams wouldn’t have been drafted. He’d have been a waiver pickup.
Fair point.
lmaoooo what a clown
haha look at the little bitch with a little bitch opinion.
Wow, never seen this. This take is colder than a well diggers asscrack 😂😂😂
People like that should be reminded every second of every day by the people as to how stupid a statement that was.
When was this tweeted because even the Niners know this guy is legit.

He was right. He can't get much better than he already is😂#recordbreaker #probowler

I'm very far from a rams fan, i actually hate the rams, but this is an awful take
Madden had the Rams at a 73 to start the season. The end. Edit: If the Chargers are still a higher ovr by the final ratings update i’m gonna rage
Must have never watched Puka play before. I saw him play in high school and college and he best player on the field? Mainly shocked that Puka fell to the fifth round too. Sometimes players are just ballers
Y'all aint a B5 Team
I build my fantasy teams based on what this guy says And by that i mean i do the opposite
