Welcome back.

0:13.7

It's Beyond the Box Score.

0:14.9

I'm Dan Schneier.

0:15.8

That's Jacob Gibbs.

As always, we are joined today, though, by two of our favorite guests in the industry, who we've both had on at separate times, Ben Gretch and Ryan Heath. Ryan Heath is on weekly with Jacob Gibbs, and you guys know him. And Ben Gretch, you've probably heard from our off-season shows or just if you listen to any fantasy football today. Ben Gretch used to be fantasy football today before I was even fantasy football today. So it's really a treat to have them on today. I really appreciate both of their work because for me, as you know as listeners of the show who've been beyond the box score listeners from the start, I'm a big fan of the 30,000 foot view stuff. And that's what these two get into a lot, especially Ben and Ryan's getting into a little bit more. So we're going to talk some 30,000 of a few stuff today on fantasy. It's February. It's time to start talking that type of stuff. I do want to mention a few things before we get going on today's show. One, this will be part one of what will be a multi-part show. This is more of the intro. Then we're going to get into a little bit more nitty-gritty, too. As we mentioned last week, it's not live yet.

1:12.2

I do appreciate all the enthusiasm on the show.

1:14.7

But soon there will be a Beyond the Boxcore live YouTube channel that I really hope you guys can all,

1:20.7

you guys and girls can all step up and subscribe, step up and like and comment and help us get this channel off the ground because that's not a concern I'm really excited about it I know we've built

1:31.0

a strong community but it's a little bit anxiety inducing starting your own

1:34.3

channel getting that going from the ground up so keep an eye out for that I know

1:38.2

a lot of people have been asking about that that will be coming soon and I and

1:41.9

Jacob and I will be providing all the details but one other thing I want to preview before we get going today I know we've talked a lot about nerding out about the NFL draft I'm actually going pretty damn hard on it right now for the past two weeks I know that's a little bit of a diversion from what Jacob wants me to doing that's exciting we're supposed to be watching quarterback tape from 2025, but I'm excited about the draft.

2:02.2

So we will become soon on Beyond the Barscori deep dive draft prospect type of show as we

2:08.5

move toward March and April.

2:10.3

So last year we were high on guys like Fanon, Manungai, Runday-Dakadstin before the season.

2:15.9

We're going to try to get into those guys this year. And hopefully they will be more those guys and less of our Bill type calls. Now I'm just kidding. Bill season is good. Okay, I don't want to hear it. Phil season is still coming. But before we do any of that, I do want to let these two introduce themselves. So Ben, why don't you tell everyone kind of what you're doing now, where everyone can find your work and a little bit about your substack?

2:36.6

Yeah, the newsletter, Ben Gresh.substack.com.

2:41.4

Kind of a different take, I guess, on fantasy football content.

2:45.2

A lot of real football stuff like you're talking about.

2:47.4

I like to talk about the league 30,000 foot view, the league

2:51.5

evolution, a lot of those types of things as well. Let me just give these three titles because

2:56.6

they really tickled me and they're so Dan Schneier coded. I think the beyond the box score
