0:00.0	Welcome, everyone. Welcome to the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast, which is, of course, a fantasy football podcast. It is Tuesday, July 27th, and I am Scott Pianowski, your host. We have a great guest today. The goal is to get smart people, bring them on the show, have them say smart things and profit. We're going to
0:22.1	do that today with Scott Barrett, who is the director of Dankstats over at Fantasy Points. And man,
0:26.9	what an all-star team. They got over there. They got John Hanson over there. We've had different people
0:32.1	from their shop, we Joe Dolan on a few months ago. Grand Barfield is great. I'm not going to mention everybody who works with Scott Barrett, but a lot of smart people there. Scott's certainly one of them.
0:41.3	So let's tap his brain, get some fancy football goodness. Hello, Mr. Barrett.
0:46.1	Hey, Scott. What's going on? Thanks for having me.
0:48.6	My pleasure. My pleasure. Let's jump into some hot news, first of all, some of the events of the last maybe 72 hours or so,
0:55.0	and then we'll start talking strategy and some of the great angles that you have that can make

1:07.8	He's had ankle surgery recently.
1:10.1	I'm in a draft right now. I'm in the
1:11.3	Razball draft. He still went in the third round even after this news. To me, that's crazy.
1:15.4	He's somebody I really need a nice discount on to draft at this point. And I just don't
1:20.4	expect to see it. I usually run away from this type of player. What do you make of the Thomas
1:24.3	news and his status, his fantasy stock, and maybe even the Saints as an
1:29.2	overview, new quarterback, maybe new quarterbacks this year? I mean, they're kind of in a state
1:34.4	of flux. What do you make of this big situation? This is great to be able to talk about this
1:38.6	specifically with you. So he's at a minimum of five games, a minimum.
1:45.5	Do you have the week six by?
1:47.3	You know, you talk to Dr. David Chow, some of the other prominent injury experts,
1:51.9	they make it seem like he could be out the entire first half of the season.
