Summary

Would you believe the NFL regular season games start this week? Finally! We've just about drafted all of our teams, and it's time to start thinking about roster management. Clearly, we don't want you to make *too* many huge changes on the Week 1 waiver wire, but if you've got some IR guys you're planning on reserving, we've got some ideas for interesting names to add. We'll also sift through all our drafts and discover the players we selected most, plus do a SnarkBag and a great listener mixtape! Guest: Brandon Funston of The Athletic.

0:00.0	It's the Harris Football Podcast with your host Christopher Harris. Welcome!
0:15.0	Hey everybody!
0:17.0	My name is Chris.
0:18.0	This is something that I'm going to say for football.
0:22.0	Hello there, everybody. We are back. Thanks for listening to this
0:24.9	little podcast that could. I hope you had a wonderful long weekend here in the US
0:29.7	and other folks. I hope you're not too irritated that there was no Monday show, but I'll be here just about every weekday, I guess until like US Thanksgiving, late November, from this point forward.
0:44.7	There are still fantasy drafts left, no question.
0:48.2	Leagues will be drafting the next few days and some will go into the weekend all the way up to Sunday but certainly most
0:56.4	fantasy football drafts have happened and I hope you had fun with yours.

1:26.0	but I said no that mostly those are posted to be funny because draft grades as a concept are one of the dumbest things to ever invade the fantasy world because nobody knows a blessed thing about how this season is going to go or at the very least they don't know whether
1:44.7	Chivante Williams was a really stupid sixth round pick but would have been awesome in the seventh.
1:50.9	And in fact what the draft grades are is quite literally, literally, a measure of how closely
1:57.7	did you adhere to your fantasy platforms group of expert default ranks. If you do a draft on Yahoo and pick exactly as the
2:06.6	Yahoo people recommend A grade, you go to CBS and do the exact same draft F grade because you did not adhere to the CBS expert ranks.
2:17.6	Truly technology being used for the very best reasons. A brilliant accomplishment, but there are in fact
2:26.1	tens of thousands of people unironically posting their grades because, you know, I don't want to be too mean mean they don't think about it that hard but you know from
