| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Fantasy Football Today, Dynasty. I am your host, Heath Cummings. And it's a one-man mailbag. We've got your emails, your tweets, and yes, at the end of the show, your chat questions. |
| 0:24.0 | Kyle had a question in there before the show even started. |
| 0:25.2 | We will get to that. |
| 0:29.9 | After we read the emails and the tweets, of course, a lot of questions about rookies. |
| 0:32.3 | We'll start with a rookie question from Ryan. |
| 0:35.7 | If the rookies are included in the startup draft, |
| 0:41.5 | how would you go out drafting rookies in regards to a particular round or around certain players? |
| 0:42.1 | I want to ensure I don't have too many rookies on my team if there's no rookie draft. |
| 0:47.6 | I always like to include or not include the rookies because I want to do two drafts, |

| 1:23.2 | Justin Jefferson, the two wide receivers, just ahead of Jeremiah I love. Fernando Mendoza, |
| 1:28.8 | a mid third round pick for me in Superflex. I just keep scrolling down here. See, it is a pretty |
| 1:36.7 | big gap for me after that. Carnal Tate comes in around the four or five turn, Jordan Tyson |
| 1:42.1 | right after him in round five. |
| 1:45.0 | I've talked a lot about how those guys are definitely in the same tier and really kind of a personal preference thing. |
| 1:50.7 | I don't have another rookie from this class in the first six rounds. |
| 1:55.3 | Mackay Liman right there at the 6-7 turn. |
