We are back at it this week after a full slate of preseason action.

0:27.9

Finally, and as always, we are not going to completely change all of our outlooks just based

0:33.3

on one preseason game.

0:34.3

And really, it's not even just one preseason game because most players only play in a quarter or a few series. So let's not get crazy. We're not going to give up on all the projections, all the analysis, everything that we spent all offseason working on. But I do think it's important to pay attention to the preseason. You got to siphon through it a little bit because there are some

tells that we're getting right now that are going to impact what we see happen in week one and beyond

0:59.9

all the way through the fantasy season and i wrote up my usual preseason takeaways article this week

fantasy right away.

1:59.5

And it's the guys I've been bringing up all off-season long, Caleb Williams and

And we'll touch on the others in a second here.

2:09.9
