0:00.0	What is up? It's the rant. My name is Jeff Radcliffe and it is Monday, August 16th, fantasy football
0:21.6	draft season. It is in full f and swing. And a huge shout out to, well, everybody who showed
0:27.4	up in Canton. Wow. There were a lot of people there who aren't in the fantasy industry.
0:32.4	So just a lot of people coming to hang out saying hello. Appreciate you guys, man. That
0:37.0	was a lot of fun on Saturday. I enjoyed having a few adult beverages, playing some cornhole
0:43.6	and just generally talking some football with people that was really awesome. The industry
0:47.4	continues to get better and better and better. So shout out to everybody. If you were there,
0:51.7	you know who you are. I see you. But let's dive into it. I want to give you one key takeaway
0:56.4	from every preseason game this past weekend. I'm not going to go too deep here, but I do think
1:02.7	that we, while we have some things that we need to adjust a little bit, we're not going
1:06.2	to overreact. We should just simply react to what we saw. Don't do that thing that
1:11.2	bush league fantasy football players do and overreact. Let's just react to these bad boys.

1:21.7	is the real deal. Now he is not going to be the number one target or the number two target
1:25.9	on this offense, but he could be the number three target out of the wide outs. Christian McCavry is
1:31.4	going to get his share at this one too. But he could be the number three and he could certainly
1:35.7	have some big games. He already showed it the catch and run like sure. He didn't, you know,
1:40.8	he didn't break away and run for a touchdown on the catch and run, but he's still so some big
1:46.4	play upside and he's going to get on the field. So Terrace Marshall Jr is a guy who I'm going to
1:52.4	target in the late rounds. We don't really see many players in this one, but definitely digging
1:56.8	Terrace Marshall. Chuber Hubbard, by the way, also looks like he's a legit handcuff Los Angeles
2:01.8	against Los Angeles, not a ton in this one, to be honest with you, but I guess you could say
