What is up?

Welcome to another edition of the NFL fantasy football show.

It's me, your man, M.G. Marcus Grant, fully vaccinated and happy to be back outside because

it's summer and this is what we do.

So glad to be with you for another week.

Producer Justin is by our side and that we have continued, or continuing, I should say,

our cavalcade of fantasy analyst stars that we've been doing all summer long.

And for this one, we go back to the bullpen. We get a familiar face coming back to join us. It is our pal, the resident ask a nerd himself,

our resident wide receiver guy as well. It is the one and only Matt Okada. Matt, it is good to talk to you

again. How have you been since we last spoke? It's good to be back. Been pretty good. I feel like I'm starting to get a little impatient. This is the part of the NFL year where the draft is too far back behind us for us to be living on that high. And the season is too far away. And we're kind of in between camps. And it's just as ah cross-creening spot but i'm just filling my days with bestball drafts and so that works out i'll say literally go i'm like this is the time i'm like let's all just stop and take a breath and let's just go outside uh because like because the grind is really going to hit us once training camps start. So I'm like, this is when we should all just.

I mean, I know we don't.

You know, the phrase all gas, no breaks, has become popular amongst fantasy Twitter. And I'm like, I don't know. We can pump the brakes a little bit, but whatever. All that being said, I got lots of stuff I want to talk to you about. A lot of just sort of catching up with how you feel now about some guys that maybe we talked about during draft season. Because in fact, the last time you were on this show was just after the draft. We did a big mock draft with several people. You were part of it. And now we've had some months to sort of sort things out and try to figure some things out. So I just want to

kind of catch up with you on how you're feeling about some guys. But I also, because I'm doing

this with all my guests right now, is I want to just kind of pick your brain about some of your

draft strategies and how you're approaching things as we're here in the middle of the summer.

The first thing, have you noticed any big change in draft trends since the NFL draft?

Any guys that have maybe moved way up, guys that have fallen, just strategy things that are

different now when you're doing drafts versus, say, you know, April or May?

I think we're seeing a little bit of this before the draft, but this has to be the most

wide receiver list top of the draft that I can remember in the history of playing fantasy.
