A lot to cover here on fantasy football today in five, including what to watch for in the

0:07.8

preseason and your questions via Apple podcast. But first, we bring on Chris Dowers to talk about

0:13.1

the pick-by-pick podcast that we just did. It was me, Chris, Jamie, and Heath, and we each had
