0:22.7	Welcome in everybody to Fancy Pros. This is the Fantasy Football Podcast,
0:26.3	it's me Joey B, Joe P. Zipia, and with me today is Derek Brown, D-Bro,
0:30.9	aka the King of Bros and other special guests from 4 for 4 football. We've got John
0:37.4	Paulson joining us, he is the director of forecasting at 4 for 4 and we've got a lot of things to
0:42.5	break down today. We're going to talk about running back rankings and tiers, why those tiers are so

1:39.9	We can talk about that all day long, but our job is to talk about Fancy, and the analyst role here
1:46.3	is to talk about his value now under that six game suspension. So Derek, where have you adjusted
1:53.2	if at all the Sean Watson in your ranks for both single quarterback and for superplex formats?

2:06.0	looks like, he was one of those lottery ticket guys in fantasy drafts, best ball drafts and stuff.
