Welcome to Code Breaker, presented by Underdog Fantasy.

Before diving into some injury talk and best ball rankings, I have to give you a sneak

peek of my guest for today's show.

I don't fanboy too often, but when I first connected with today's guest, I had a few

butterflies.

Crazy, right?

The hardened, cold, hard-ed argumentative, and always rational, focused on the actual

numbers, never fumbling, composed, emotionless, masquerading data scientist, the analytics

guy.

Apparently, there's no analytics handbook for handling nervous energy and excitement.

I tried hiking, I tried yelling linear regression at the top of my lungs, I did a few live

best ball drafts on Underdog.

I robbed a bank, re-sequenced the human genome, and got in some heated Twitter debates

and let me tell you nothing could calm me down.

I know this is a fantasy football podcast, but for those who don't know, before joining

player-profiler full-time, I worked for two MLB teams, and during that time, I was a

weekend warrior for Roto Wonderworld, banging out coding scripts on Saturdays and Sundays

for the site, and I believe that my knowledge of baseball analytics has helped differentiate

me in the fantasy football industry, as I have a different career path than most other

analysts and a different way of evaluating players and quantifying upside than Joe fantasy

at that other fantasy site overcharging you for their advice.

With that being said, I guarantee you, today's guest is not one that you have heard before
