Summary
It's the time of draft season when we turn the show over to *you*, and answer your questions. Are changes to the NFL permanently changing fantasy positional strategies? Who's the last QB we'd feel confident starting without drafting another QB? Is Justin Fields being overrated? Who would win in a 40-yard dash? We'll tackle serious questions and silly ones, and also react to the news that Jeff Wilson has headed to Injured Reserve! Guest: Andy Behrens of Yahoo! Fantasy.

| 0:00.0 | Hey! It's the Harris Football Podcast, brought to you by Draft Kings, America's top-rated |
| 0:11.9 | Daily Fantasy app with your host, Christopher Harris. Welcome! Hey, everybody, welcome in. My name is Chris. This is a thing that I say, mostly in a regular tone of voice, but sometimes I yell at you. |
| 0:27.5 | Hello there, everyone. Thank you very much for listening today. I hope you're doing well. More and more fantasy drafts are finally happening. |
| 0:36.4 | I have an auction this afternoon, multiple drafts over the weekend, |
| 0:40.9 | a week from tonight to Thursday, September 6th, right? That's what that is. We'll have an actual |
| 0:47.8 | NFL game that counts. I wanted to start today by doing, I guess, a little bit of psychological coaching, which is to say, |
| 0:57.5 | I think there are a lot of people out there who don't want to, but kind of turn themselves into knots over this stuff, |
| 1:05.4 | who get worked up about a fantasy draft or an auction, who feel like sometimes they get paralyzed when it comes time to make a pick or to make a bid and they think, I'm really screwing this up. |
| 1:18.8 | This is common. This is natural. This is fine. You know, it's all well and good for someone who doesn't care about this stuff to say, wow, why are you getting so stressed |
| 1:27.8 | over this? |
| 1:29.6 | And of course, sure, the best thing would be that we never get stressed about anything that we |
| 1:35.3 | don't want to get stressed about, let alone something as silly and voluntary as fantasy sports. |
| 1:40.0 | But, you know, if we could control how we feel about everything that happens in our lives all the time, we would be robots and not humans. |
| 1:48.4 | Sometimes you get worked up about things you don't want to get worked up about. |
| 1:51.2 | It's called being a person. |
| 1:52.5 | Look it up sometime. |
| 1:53.9 | So I'm not here to tell you, hey, stop taking this goofy fantasy draft stuff so seriously. |
| 2:00.1 | But I'll repeat something I probably say |
| 2:02.2 | annually in different ways on the show. We are currently in a moment where we know the absolute |
| 2:09.8 | least we're going to know about the 2023 NFL season. I know that's not what most NFL media |
| 2:15.2 | people say. They think they know who all the good teams will be and all who all bad teams are going to be |
| 2:20.9 | and how the depth charts will work out and how the rookies are all going to play. |
