Summary
Sometimes unsexy is good! On today's podcast, we'll discuss the merits of drafting *safe* players. If your draft strategies sometimes involve selecting risky players in early rounds -- and they should! -- it can make sense to find some high-floor players in the early/middle rounds who can present a smoother ride. We'll select one safe player per round, and discuss! Also: Anthony Richardson gets benched and embarrasses his *2024* ranks, Brian Robinson will no longer be a Commander, and we'll read a DeVonta Smith Almanac profile. Guest: Scott Pianowski of Yahoo! Fantasy.
