Welcome, everyone to the score fantasy football podcast.

I'm your host, Justin Boone, the lead fantasy analyst at The Score.

Appreciate you hanging out

with us today as we continue to get you ready for the draft. And this is when things really start

to ramp up fantasy-wise. We get that like sprint for a week or two around free agency in March,

then things quiet down. But then the draft comes around it. It is one of the biggest

sporting events on the calendar. And once we get

those rookies onto these NFL rosters, we can really start to dial in on how things are going

to look for the upcoming season. And we had Dane Bruegler, the athletic on last week. We got some

a Dane skill position sleepers on that show. So make sure, go back, give that one a listen if you haven't

You can also find him on Twitter or X at Thorku. He is somebody who I play against in Dynasty Leagues, somebody who I have a ton of respect for his work and how he carries himself, both in the industry and as a fantasy manager.

Well, let's start with the fact that we're in sort of a strange time right now. It's kind of like the smoke screen season, right? The last week or two before the draft, there's nonstop rumors coming out, all these reports. Feels like most of it is probably a waste of time. But a few things that are being tossed out there, they're bound to be real. So have you heard any draft rumors that kind of have you intrigued,

like something that makes you raise an eyebrow,

kind of gets you excited at the possibility that could actually come true?

Well, I'm coming to you from Minneapolis.

And ever since the day that Kirk Cousins, the ink dried on that contract with the Falcons,
