What is up everybody? Welcome to the Yahoo Fantasy Forecast. My name is Justin Boone,

and yes, you were used to seeing Matt Harmon in this driver's seat, but Matt is out today.

So I am in with my good friend, my new friend, Scott Pionowski.

It is an exciting time here.

I mean, we had the one-off Hall of Fame game last week, but this week to me feels like when football is truly back because we're going to see all 32

teams in action. Scott, how are you feeling about that? How are you feeling about preseason

really getting underway now? Yeah, I'm just juiced. I realize it's going to be a lot of backups

and it may not always be players we're drafting for fantasy, but it's football, it's tackling,

its points and we just inch closer to the regular season.

Now, we have to do more T reading.

We have to do more between the lines stuff with the color outside the lines a little bit more.

You and I have been playing fantasy back in the day when starters, the ones would come out and they'd play. You know, we didn't like that first half. Let's play them to three quarters. Let's try to feel good about themselves. Now it seems like everybody's the bubble wrap idea. This guy's valuable. Let's get them to opening day. Let's not show our hand to our opponents. That seems to be the motif that most teams follow. But there's a lot to figure out with the preseason.

And just getting to the Hall of Fame for the Expo is going to be a blast, seeing you in person,

some other Yahoo colleagues is going to be a blast. And as we get as you know, fantasy football is

theoretical for such a long period of time. And we're getting closer and closer to being a reality,

to our teams matter, to our teams counting, to us having an idea of what kind of season we're getting closer and closer to being a reality to our teams mattering, to our

teams counting to us having an idea of what kind of season we're going to have. And just the fact

that it becomes more of a real thing every day is very exciting to me. Absolutely. Well,

before we get too deep into the fantasy waters, a reminder to folks out there, Harmon has been telling

you this nonstop, but don't forget, the pod is now live

every day, Sunday to Thursday on our brand new Yahoo Fantasy Football YouTube channel. So

be sure to subscribe. We're having you covered there all through draft season this month and then
