The read

The regular-season file is average: a .508 win rate, a last-place finish in 2017, and 24 games lost with the winning lineup on his bench, second-most among active managers behind Ryan. The playoff file is the best in league history. He is 12-2 in the postseason with three rings, including back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024.

The auction habits explain the split. Thirty-eight of his seventy Sleeper-era buys cost $2 or less, the most extreme stars-and-scrubs approach in the league. The Cowboys fandom shows up in the data too. CeeDee Lamb is his most-kept player at 55 weeks and four separate drafts, and unlike some loyalty positions in this league, Lamb has earned the price. Top-heavy rosters drop regular-season games, and his do. They also win playoff weeks, and his have won nearly all of them.
