0:00.0	Welcome, everyone. Welcome to the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast, which is, of course, a fantasy football podcast. And I am today's Tuesday host, Scott Pianowski, and really excited to introduce our next guest. If you read fantasy football on the internet, you probably come across Corbyn Young's work somewhere. He's a contributor at Fan Tracks, RotoViz, Fantasy Data, Roto Underworld.
