0:00.0	Welcome to Fantasy Football Today, Dynasty. I am your host, Heath Cummings, joined today by Jacob Gibbs.
0:14.5	Is back to talk about the rookies. That's all you guys have been talking about over on the
0:20.3	backup block score, isn the back box score,
0:21.5	isn't it? Yeah, pretty much. So there's a lot of interesting angles to take with this year's
0:26.3	class. We were talking about that before I jumped on. It's a really bizarre year for dynasty.
0:31.6	We're like at the back end of round one, I'm like psyched. I'm legitimately like psyched when I get Antonio Williams at like 201, 202. I'm like, thank God, no one wised up and took Antonio Williams in round one. And it's just so weird coming off of last year where we were getting, obviously, Colson, Loveland at times was falling to that range. Jacks and Dart, those are huge hits. But even like the receivers in that range are like lutherbird and ameka buka or matthew golden if you liked him
0:59.7	like round one type profiles and this year just feels so much different um but because of that because
1:07.2	there's so much ambiguity in that that round two range i think that uh if you have
1:11.8	conviction on some of these players or if you have specific team builds that fit some of these
1:16.7	players then you can get really good values um at some of these spots and i think that's the really
1:22.2	that's the most important thing with this class is you know does it suck sure relatively
1:27.4	speaking to some of the other speaking to some of the other,
1:28.8	compared to some of the other classes. Yeah, sure. But that doesn't mean that there's not going to be
1:33.2	anything that comes out of it. Right. And so like, I think it's really important to identify the
1:38.2	different types of players that are in the class and how they might fit their NFL teams and then
1:43.1	also how they might fit your dynasty team.
1:46.6	What type of dynasty team are you building?
1:48.6	Because there is so much fluidity and how any of them rank and project outside of the top players,
1:55.7	you can take Brennan Thompson really, really high if you're me and you're crazy and you're
1:59.4	just like, I'm fine, just waiting on this spot. But if you need more production now, then maybe you do lean towards Antonio Williams or Jeremy Bernard or somebody like that. There's a lot of different angles to attack this draft from. And I'm really excited digging to all of it with you. And I think today is going to be our rankings reveal. At least I'm going to reveal my full rankings.
2:19.2	Jacob will tell us how his rankings are different and what I've gotten wrong.
2:23.2	I may change a couple things during today's show.
