0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast. I'm Liz Loza. That is Dalton Del Don. I pointed to my
0:07.2	computer screen. It's always very effective. And hey, Dalton, how you doing? Doing well. Shot some fancy baseball
0:14.5	videos yesterday. Now I'm happy to talk some football with you, Liz. How you doing? Look at you. You're like a
0:19.6	Swiss Army knife of fantasy
0:21.5	sports analysts. I'm so impressed. I am so grateful I get to share virtual space with you.
0:27.1	Oh, thanks. Again, though, you just have to carry the show as usual, though. It's all that
0:30.1	means. Sure. Okay. All right. Well, in today's show, beautiful transition. There you go,
0:35.0	Dalton. We are going to go through some free agency news, maybe have some fun with some tight end rankings because you guys haven't seen the news.
0:42.6	Peach season has come a little bit early this year. I am excited to dig into it. Probably the

1:37.2	But, um, I don't know. At his age, I'm not expecting him to get much better. I, I know, are there any obvious alternatives other than drafting one? I don't know. This doesn't come
1:46.9	as unexpected, but man, that was discouraging the second half of his, you know, approaching age 40 season
1:53.6	there. So I don't know. I'm not super excited. Are you? I'm not super excited, but I don't feel like when we watched the Steelers games,
2:04.7	we're immediately reminded of the drops, right?
