Summary
As you draft your fantasy football squad this weekend, we want you to relax, have fun, and realize that all the touts who seem so *certain* about everything will be proven wrong in under a week. Draft players you like, the ones you think are good -- you will make mistakes because we all do, but then we'll spend the entire season reviewing tape and fixing them. For today, we'll talk about roster construction early in drafts by rating each player in the ADP top 36 from 1-to-10: how *risky* are they? Plus a heavily revised Joe Mixon profile from the August 29 Almanac Update. Phew! Guest: Jeff Bell from FootballGuys.com.
