Man, people are split on Sequin Barkley and Joe Mixen, who are some of the other most polarizing players in fantasy.

0:11.5

Let's ask Heath Cummings.

0:12.9

I can't speak today.

0:13.6

Let's ask Heath Cummings, what he thinks.

0:16.0

Heath, who are some of the most solarizing players in fantasy?
