0:00.0	What's up, everyone? Welcome into the Dear Miss Fantasy show with me, your host, Tara Roberts.
0:07.5	This is the official mailbag show for Player Profiler. It is Wednesday, July 22nd, and we're
0:13.5	heading full speed ahead into draft season here for redraft. And it is training camp week.
0:21.3	Everyone is arriving this week for the most part.
0:23.5	There's some that I do think are going to straggle next week.
0:26.9	But for the most part, we've got training camps starting here.
0:29.2	So very exciting.
0:30.9	No massive training camp news other than like, you know, Zach Charbonnet going on the pup.
0:36.5	That's expected.
0:38.0	That does not necessarily mean that he won't be ready for week one.

1:00.2	Jadarion Price, right? Because Seattle has been trying to be very optimistic about the potential
1:04.7	return here of Zach Charbonnet coming earlier than expected. So again, really good one for us to monitor here with him because that massively affects
1:14.6	that value there for Jadarion Price, who is a good value if Charbonnet does miss significant
1:21.1	time or even just kind of like, you know, six weeks or so just to kind of establish himself
1:27.1	as the theoretical lead back there would be
1:30.4	good value in fantasy drumps but it does remain a wee bit risky but that's one for us to monitor as well
1:36.1	jumping in here um before i do guys because i see comments right off the bat here sorry if i sound like
1:41.5	i'm out of breath i am slightly i was kind of running around a little bit.
