Don't skimp on the intros too much. That's the best feature in the fantasy space.

I appreciate you! I’ll do what I can, but it’s really just about time/workload.

Makes total sense, Ben, the early to mid parts of the season is the most valuable for content, once we're in the home stretch, the focus on our teams def narrows.... and honestly if we've been listening to smart guys like yourself and Shawn, we should be able to fish on our own the last month of the season.... and yes, def do not skimp on the intros too much - they are and have been for quite some time - really great! Thanks again and good luck during the season

What’s your philosophy on starting young draft targets in Game 1 and until we see their progress? For example, draft Xavier Worthy over Christian Kirk, but start Kirk for now? There are many potential examples like this, I am interested in whether you roll the dice from Game 1 or wait?

Enjoy your family in December

Yeah I probably play Kirk in Week 1 there

To further clarify, that’s basically because that’s why you drafted Kirk. But I have leagues where I pass on that type of player bc I’m not worried about starting Worthy this week. But I mean if you have Kirk, you’re starting him for a solid role and seeing what the deal is with Worthy first.

Hi Ben, last week one stealing signals you wrote that Justice Hill would be your top waiver priority. Obviously in retrospect, puka and kyren would have been the guys to target.

Do you think we learned anything from last season in this regard that would better allow us to prioritize the early season adds?

I am trying to improve my process for faab utilization and would love your input on this situation

I wrote that in the Ravens section of Part 1, then wrote the Rams section in Part 2 and put Puka and Kyren ahead of Hill in “Biggest Signals.” I would say I gotta do a better job of clarifying, but that objective was the issue here because I jumped the gun with that Hill writeup. Check “biggest signals” for my final thoughts, but yeah, it’s also just going to uncertain. It’s predicting the future.

Well shit. Sounds like i need to work on my reading comprehension. Appreciate the response!

There are some things that are just impossible to predict before week 1, Puka being the shining example of that. FF is chaos
