We are two full weeks into the season, which means it's time to reassess some teams.

0:06.9

Were there any teams that were better than we thought?

0:09.6

Any teams that were not quite as good as we thought?

0:12.3

And should we reassess any of their players for fantasy purposes as a result?

0:16.8

I've got Lauren Auerbach on the line to answer that question here on the Roto Wire Fantasy Baseball podcast.

Hello and welcome everybody to the Thursday edition of the Roto Wire Fantasy Baseball podcast, brought to you by Vivid Seats.

Eric Hulterman here and my guest today, Lauren Auerbach of Fan Tracks.

And Lauren, we are two weeks into the season, which means it's time to reassess everything we thought about everyone and everything in the entire world, I think, mostly want to remember what we thought

1:01.5

over the off season, but it's time to take a second look at things. How are your fantasy teams doing?

1:06.3

Do you think you need to take a second look at every player in the league, or were you pretty much

1:09.8

right throughout draft season? Oh, I don't think anyone was pretty much right throughout the whole draft season. And I think when to add like injuries on top of that, it's just, I think especially this over this past week, injuries have hit hit really hard. So it's like in terms of, you know, trying to fill those holes. It can be challenging. But I'm doing like okay.

1:29.7

Like in my drafts, it's just, it's too soon.

1:37.4

You know, I'm not, I don't tend to kind of freak out, you know, after, you know, a 10 or 14 games, you know, kind of sample size. So I'm fine right now with my teams and my draft process.

1:41.9

It's too soon unless you're winning, in which case that it's not too soon and you should absolutely already feel very good like you're just set to the next six months. Yeah, yeah. Look, I knew what I was doing. I'm good to go. Exactly. But for everyone else, we've got a whole bunch of players we're going to be taking a look at, a whole bunch of teams, really. We're going to take a look at pretty much all the teams that are doing notably better than we thought and notably worse because, you know what, when teams do better or worse, it's usually because some of their players are doing better or worse than expected, and we have to figure out how much of it is real and who should we be picking up, who should we be

considered dropping, et cetera. We'll get to that in a minute, but I want to start with the

2:22.2

headlines, the first of which is going to tease our main topic of the day. Kyron Paris, he did

2:27.7

it again last night. What was it? Two more home runs for him. Currently, actually, the

2:33.7

Angels are up 10 to 1 on the raise.

2:36.4

We will indeed be talking about them as one of our hot starters.

2:39.4

They're starting even hotter.

2:40.9

And I believe he does not have a home run.
