0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Yahoo Fantasy Football Forecast.
0:07.0	I'm Dalton Daldon, joined by our friend Jerry Donnebedian from Rodewire.
0:11.9	He writes a must-read hidden stat line column in season.
0:15.7	He's a strong XM guest.
0:17.6	He's a good Twitter follow.
0:19.3	Jerry, thanks for joining us. And how's it going, man?

1:11.4	dolphins situation? Yeah, I'm actually, you know, I'm a big Albert Wilson fan, but I think,

1:25.8	Hearns also opted out. So now it's just kind of like, you got this numbers game where, okay, Devante Parker, he's going to get fed.
1:32.6	Preston Williams, he's only nine months, 10 months back from an ACL tear.
