Welcome everyone to the PFF fantasy podcast. I'm your host John Macri fantasy analyst here at PFF and after going solo yesterday

We got the whole famed Emily for a big old season preview as episode as I am joined by Nate the great Nathan Yankee and Kate the great

Kate Modjuk guys were a week away from the 2023 season kickoff how we feel in today

I'm doing well excited that we're only one week away. It's finally fantasy draft season

I think today's like the first of a series of days where every night I have a draft going on

So look at getting excited to finally have some of these family drafts rather than all the

Competitive ones that I've had now. I don't have to like prep as much for those and just kind of wing it based on

Giving everyone else in my league a chance rather than just me dominated because I do this for a living and they don't

But Nate those ones like your family drafts the the home leagues the

Not not your work league

Most people's work leagues. They can be almost like way harder to prepare for because they you know

There are people that haven't been keeping up with the news all off season

They put the biggest kilters in the ADP shakeups like there are no rules in family drafts and and home leagues

So like this we're gonna we're gonna set people up for success get them caught up from you know some of these these off season moves

But like those are always the hardest drafts for me because I can't prepare. I have no idea

What Joe Schmoe is going to shake up in my fantasy drafts because

It's it's it's Bedlam. It's madness. There are no

It's crazy. So you know hopefully

You know we we get to prepare as much as possible, but again like you just never know what you're gonna get

Yeah, I found the same thing with like the family drafts like I we have one that we do and it's like an 18 league too

So it's just like a super small one, but I always find like it just becomes complete chaos at by like the second round already

And then you're just drafting like crazy and I'm trying to like scoop up as much value as I can
