And then we're going to rank some stuff. It's that's it. It's that simple. Craig, what are we ranking this week? Tell the people. We are ranking week one over reactions,

1:09.0

which is honestly, this is I think the best week in football content every year. The week after week one, particularly in fantasy, is as good as it gets. And we are going to rank the over reactions.

1:20.0

It's always funny to see how incredibly wrong or in some cases, right? You were on things, but it's mostly funny to see when you're just like, wow.

1:29.0

Trace Sermon, I was off on that one. Let's see how this goes. Let's see how this changes. But yeah, I love it week one over reactions. It's the best time to make over reactions.
