This is an I-Heart podcast. Guaranteed Human. Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy Football Podcast. It's me Joey P. Joe Pizapia. And today we're going to take an early look at 12 sleepers that are very popular right now in the early going. We got best ball drafts kind of happening. Things are percolating. It's post-draft season. Rookie drafts are going on in Dynasty, so we're going to talk about some of these names. They're getting some early helium and whether or not you should be inflating them as well onto your rosters to help us get through. And we got Scott Bogman here, one of the hosts here of our college football content and of course over here on fantasy pros as well

0:38.1

and our special guest today one of the godfathers of fantasy football one of my mentors one of my

0:43.1

heroes one of my favorite bald brothers the football diehard Bob Harris is here from serious

0:49.7

XM radio joining us Bob it's great to see you friend. I know this is kind of like a little bit

0:54.9

of a lull here. So how does Bob Harris keep himself busy this time of year before we really

1:01.0

get into training camp, but it's post-draft? What's the Bob Harris schedule look like?

1:05.8

The Bob Harris schedule is plenty busy covering news and football guys also writing my weekly fantasy notebook

1:11.5

you'll find that there every weekend uh hot seat youtube videos also on the fantasy football show

1:16.4

so there are no days off as you know by the way you confuse me with two things that

1:21.2

glorious tan bogman and i need to do some work clearly yeah also uh we look like this is just may

1:27.2

you know what i look like by the time we get to july and august okay well and work clearly. Yeah. Also, always, this is just May.

1:46.1

Do you know what I look like by the time we get to July and August, okay? Let me tell you something. It's a whole different thing. You said, wait, I thought I was on with the great Joe PCP. I always introduce you. That's true. Well, you and Mike Dempsey are too kind. always check out the diehards on serious too uh the The very best football program you can find. They're on the NFL channel. They're on the fantasy channel on there. They do all kinds of great work. And so do we. We want you to subscribe to our YouTube channel here. Hang out with us. Ring the bell till it goes ding. So you never miss a piece of content here on the channel. It's never too early to get ahead of your league mates. and that's what we're doing today. So we're going to start at the quarterback position with two guys that are getting some early love.

2:04.5

Now, the offseason love from Malik Willis was really percolating, right? Because he was a free age and people were speculating where could he be? Maybe you could be a Pittsburgh Steeler. Maybe you could end up here or there. He ended up on arguably the worst team in football. it's possible because the roster's been gutted

2:19.5

they had 11 draft picks they got a new head coach they don't have a lot of offensive weapons

2:23.4

the best offensive weapon they do have is devon a chan who could very well end up holding out

2:30.1

and we all know sometimes those holdouts go too long and guys get hurt. It's a whole mess there in Miami.

2:34.8

So I know there's a lot of early love for Malik Willis, and I get it.

2:38.1

He's a Russian quarterback. That's a lot of fantasy points, even if it's ugly, who cares? He had some really good spots starts there with the Green Bay Packers. But Bob, I'm going to hit you with Malik Willis first because I want to know here what you think about Malik Willis in terms of his sleeper ability.

2:52.3

Do you think he can be Willis in terms of his sleeper

2:51.8

ability. Do you think he can be a low end QB1? As he's somebody that you're targeting in Superflex

2:57.1

drafts, regardless of the fact that maybe the Dolphins offense just isn't quite super thrilling.

3:02.5
