Looking to throw wide open. It's Berkeley. Into the end zone touchdown.

Smith-Shooster inside the 30. Stiff fired and he's going to go 97 yards for the touchdown.

Welcome in to the Road of his Fantasy Football Mailbag.

We are here on the December 16th episode.

And as always, we are trying to help you navigate the fantasy football playoffs here

as we are headed towards the gold, the championship season.

I'm Mike Randall.

You can follow me on Twitter at Randall Randall Rand. And today we have a good friend of mine, someone I always wanted to have on the mailbag, Jared Smola from Draft Sharks. Jared is a proud girl dad, like myself, fantasy football analyst for draft sharks, loves beer, and he can even golf. I mean, the guy does it all, and he's here to help you win your fantasy football championships. Follow him on Twitter at Smola, S-M-O-L-A-D-S. Jared, welcome to the road of his mailbag. How you doing? Doing good. I've always wanted to be on the mailbag. So this works out nicely. And yeah, I mean, I golf in quotation marks. You know, I whack the ball around. and then, you know, it's called golf, I guess.

Well, I golf on occasion, but what mattered, Jared, is I golfed with my father-in-law a couple

months ago and, you know, he was real excited. We can't let him win. That is out of the question.

But I certainly let him enjoy the front nine. I was doing poorly,

bought me a couple beers, but then we still got the victory at the end. So that is what I use

golf for, just to keep the bragging rights and get the free beverages. Listen, I am honored that you

came on the mailbag, despite the fact that now you have had me in your draft sharks,

invitational two years in row. And I've had an absolutely pitiful, pitiful performance both years. I can't even beat Nick Bikai. So really, this is charity, Jared, on your part, I think. I'm right with you struggling there. You know, that's super tough competition that we've put together. It's a different format. So you never feel comfortable during that draft. to me. I'm still trying to figure it out too. So maybe maybe 2022 is our year. Sounds good. That's always look forward to the next year. Listen, I've been pitiful in Scott Fishball. I'm in the playoffs somehow this year. So there's always hope for for everyone. You've been killing it, man, over at draft sharks. Just so many great things going on. You've also been dominating in best ball media, an underdog fantasy. So talk about best ball, your strategy going in, and how it went so far, because you got some great things going on right now. Man, I wish I had done more teams, you know, looking back kind of now. Hindsight's 2020, obviously. I had nine of my 24 teams advance that's

it was like a 35% advanced rate

I wish I'd done more teams but I got I got nine

bullets in there you know we'll see if any of them

survive this you know first week of the playoffs

week 15 um yeah I mean I you know I

stack I you know try to try to get the good rocks for construction, all that stuff.
