This is an I-Heart podcast.

Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy Football Podcast. It's me, Joey P. Joe P. Zapia. And today we have one of the most important shows that we're going to have all preseason. It's the must-have players. And I've got two of the must-have analysts to help me break them all down. We are talking about the guys that you got to have if you're going to win in 2025,

and that's why we're here.

We're not here for second place. Second place is for losers. It's just the first loser. And that's what Scott Bogman told me after I finished second place to him in the league. At least that's what he says. So Scott Bogman's here, host of our Dynasty podcast and a special guest here.

Sirius XM Radio's own Jeff Radcliffe, also one of the big mucky mucks over at Ft N. And, uh, you know, being the host of the Jeff Radcliffe show on Sirius XM radio, it's the perfect show for you. I mean, I can't imagine anyone else, Jeff hosting the Jeff Radcliffe show. I think it would be awkward. I think Bob Harris actually hosted it one time, to be honest with you. I had a thing.

So if there was a person, then Bob would be that guy. But yeah, we, I mean, I think you figured this out.

We spent a lot of time workshopping the names, coming up with something really hyper original. And this is what we landed on. So, yeah, the Jeff Rackleaf show. Is there anybody more beloved than Bob Harris, though? Like, I think all of us would be like, Bob can have whatever he wants, do whatever he wants. Yeah. We just love Bob. He's just such a good dude, man. He's top notch. So Jeff is here, fresh off the Flex League draft this past weekend. We were in together. We've been in that league a few years.

We had some fantastic dude man he's top notch so jeff is here uh fresh off the flex league draft this past weekend we

were in together we've been in that league a few years we had some fantastic discussions going in

to the draft too because we were talking about you know must have players and you know what that

means and sometimes also the situations and jeff and i were talking about and i wanted to bring it over

to the show i said you got to come on let's talk about this because like, you know, some of the circumstances is not just talent, right? It's also sometimes offensive line that gets underdiscust. It's also contract situations get underdiscust. Jeff, how much of that goes into your equation when you're evaluating players in terms of like, this is a situation that I definitely want to be involved in and situations that I really want to stay away from.

That's a really good question.

I don't really tend to look too much at offensive line because, you know, I find that the

metrics that are most sticky for like running backs, for example, is going to be yards after

contact and that's how they operate independent of their blockers.

But contract is really really important

there are things that you know like i heard somebody say um you know what if james cook pulls a levi on bell

well he can't levi on bell wasn't under contract he was a franchise tag player who refused to sign

his tag cook is under contract terry mcl is under contract. And these things are about money.

So ultimately, I have no major concerns about those guys playing. You also can look at some of these

numbers. Like, we still have yet to get all of the Keenan Allen details. And maybe by the time the
