"A man's reach should exceed his grasp."

TPD's reach, his visualization of golden championship achievement, indeed exceeded his grasp. Hours built in multiple months of off-season dedication reflect his ever extending reach. To grasp hold of one's purposeful reach is to stretch a hand across the threshold of the heavens. The resulting embrace around glory filled starlight, courses through an embattled dreamer like an explosion of pure blissful peace. But the reach ever extends. Unrelenting in its imagination and quest to reveal a heaveness understanding, made possible by an understanding of reverence and nostalgia, not taken for granted or blindly cast aside. It allows for the continued climb and exploration never ending. TPD is back for 2019, dreaming of what his reach could possibly grasp once more.

TPD's quest embarks on goals without precedent, a 4th street to walk beyond even a 3peat. Such accomplishment previously never thought possible, but his hard work and dedication has finally paid off after years of heartbreak. It was foretold that TPD was learning and improving from all his failures, and such claims are now validated and will continue. For who would falter first? TPD's knowledge displayed specifically in the playoffs, where is managerial skill and creativity has risen above the rest, capturing three straight championships. The last thing TPD wants to relinquish is his claim upon the peak of the mountain. His passion, drive, and determination are ever compounded and cast in stone, etched with golden starlight.

The lineup to start the season is different than years past. TPD achievements do not dwindle the need for attacking shortcomings. QB and TE were revolving door starting spots for TPD a season ago, he even survived a putrid TE performance in the championship game. TPD took no chances on either position in this years draft. Nothing is assured, but the selections of Deshaun Watson and O.J. Howard were made with the hopes of both being cornerstone contributors from day one for this team. DeAndre Hopkins was deservedly taken as the 1st WR off the board, and he just needs to nuke as Nuke does. Aside from those studs almost the entire rest of the lineup has been formed from post draft acquisitions. TPD has made an unprecedented 6 trades following the draft, before the season has begun. With such ferocious activity the entire team has evolved. He boasts one of the deepest WR cores to ever take shape before the start of the season. Nuke, Lockett, Ridley, Moore, Shepard, and Crowder give TPD extreme roster flexibility and creativity. Perhaps even more important though is TPD's early season RB room. For the first time since 2012, TPD will enter a season with RBs other teams around the league would be happy to start. Johnson, Jacobs, and Mack are young studs with much to prove and unbelievable potential. It is a scary thought knowing what TPD could do with such depth and potential on his roster this early in the season.

The lineup this week features some difficult spots, but massive potential for blowup performances as well. Watson and Nuke make an awesome partnership of fantasy destruction on Monday Night football down in the big easy. Lockett, Johnson, and Howard look to exploit beatable match-ups, while Jacobs and Mack square off against worthy adversaries. The flex position remains in flux, as Moore, Mack, and Ridley, all have a realistic chance at starting in the final spot. TPD is excited about the big leg of Jason Myers, on a team ready to give him plenty of opportunities to strike boot to leather. Philadelphia will garner a spot start against a team seemingly devoid of offensive talent in the form of Washington. It is a lineup built for one devastating and glorious purpose.

The NASTY purpose remains static. It devours outright and encompasses all in a gooey constriction of radioactive nastiness. It is the force that carries TPD to such magnificent heights. Raising the banner of a 3peat at TPD Field House on Sunday will ignite a flame of devastation in the NASTY's core, strong enough to consume any and all that dare oppose such an unstoppable force. The NASTY from Dynasty will rise again, for what is dead may never die, but rises again harder and stronger. You down with TPD? Ya you know me. For a mans reach should exceed his grasp. Time to kick off 2019, TPD style.

Player Profile: Kerryon Johnson
Last season's week 1 profile showcased a RB with rich opportunity and potential in James Conner. The rest as they say is history. This season brings about a new possible leader of the RB room in Kerryon Johnson. The lions are a team built to run the football, behind an improving offensive line. His ability to break tackles, create big plays, and catch the ball out of the backfield make him one hell of an underrated RB1. His sky high potential will be on full display against one of the league's worst run defenses. Look for him to do it all on Sunday and lay down one terrifying NASTY performance. Show your NASTY Scary Kerry.
