Summary

We’ve all had predictions that turn out to be wrong. We’ve all had bad takes that come back to haunt us. It’s a part of life and the human need to try and make an opinion as close to a fact as possible. The key is to learn something from that burnt take.Liz Loza and Matt Harmon have had some of their own, and they discuss those takes and much more in the latest fantasy football podcast.[Create or join a 2020 Yahoo Fantasy Football League for free today]But first, we look at some of the news around the NFL. Falcons OC Dirk Koetter said about RB Todd Gurley that "The main question, that no one seems to know, is what is his health status?” If the OC doesn’t know ... who does? (01:41)Colts WR T.Y. Hilton recently said, "I want to be a Colt” in reference to his contract status ... which is not a sentence you need to say if a team already wants you back. Are we buying or selling Hilton in a Rivers-led offense? (10:10)Our Tennessee Titans 2020 preview went live, and our experts give their thoughts on Derrick Henry's chances of becoming the overall #1 running back for the year. (Hint: they're not high, but that doesn't mean you should avoid him this year.) (17:15)Most recently, Matt looked back at his failed 2019 takes on both Alvin Kamara and Davante Adams. Liz, too, had a burnt 2019 take, on David Johnson. They discuss the three questionable takes in detail, what to expect from them in 2020, and why it's important to focus on process not results.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Yahoo Fantasy Football podcast.
0:06.9	The whole gang's here.
0:07.8	We're still in quarantine.
0:08.8	I'm Liz Loza.
0:09.5	That's Matt Harmon.
0:10.3	Ragu is producing from, well, his room, I guess.
0:15.8	In Culver City.
0:17.0	Shout out Culver City.
0:18.2	There you go.
0:19.1	So, Matt, welcome to Week whatever this is. How are you doing?
0:24.3	Ah, you know, I'm fine, I guess. This weekend, it was kind of getting to me a little bit. I mean, I feel like it's like hit or miss. You know, sometimes, sometimes it's like, all right, this isn't so bad. And other times it's just like, oh, this is never going to end, yada, yada. But I'm all right. You know, very, very busy. A lot of receivers still left to chart for reception, currently sitting through juju, which is boring as always. But yeah, so that's that's where we're at. But we got some exciting ones

1:00.9	earlier, at least one of them. I don't know if you check the dock, but I added someone that,

1:10.3	episode because this,
1:12.6	you know, some weeks we are told what to say or it suggested what to say and we're kind of like
1:18.1	making up information. But today I think some information and talking points and debate topics
1:24.6	just organically came into existence.
1:28.2	And so those I feel are always the best ones to dig into because I think they're some of the same conundrums that fantasy players are rolling around in their heads.
1:36.6	But before we get to those, we got to do a little veteran roundup.
