If you were a 1980s kid like me, you remember the movie Big starring Tom Hanks. He played the role of Josh Baskin, who made a wish on a Zoltar machine at a fair to be “big.” The wish came true of course, and the hilarity ensued! He went on to become a high-level toy tester at a big company, rented a big New York apartment and even had a beautiful adult-age girlfriend (a little weird nowadays, but still).
With the NFL’s offseason here and the new league year starting March 15th, I figured why not throw a quarter into the “fantasy” Zoltar machine and make a few wishes for 2023? I’m guessing most of them won’t come true like it did for Josh, but who knows maybe a few of them will come to fruition. Some of my wishes are more obvious, like the Baltimore Ravens keeping Lamar Jackson, the New York Giants retaining Saquon Barkley, and the Las Vegas Raiders franchising Josh Jacobs.
The rest of my fantasy wishes, some of which might be a bit outlandish, would be amazing if they came true from a statistical and fantasy football perspective.
