| 0:00.0 | We're talking our favorite mid-round targets next on Fantasy Football Today in 5. |
| 0:10.6 | Welcome to F15 5. |
| 0:11.6 | I'm Chris Towers, I'm here with Dan Schneier and we are talking about our favorite picks |
| 0:15.6 | to target. |
| 0:16.6 | Let's say after the top 75 in ADP and you know one thing to note as I was looking through |
