What is up, everybody?

Welcome to the week nine edition of the DFS MVP podcast.

I'm your host, T.J. Heard, director of DFS at 444.com.

Back as always with my co-host, Mr. John Bagel, Mr. Pat Crane.

Doesn't want to be in the room with me.

it's an ugly one.

Having said that, it's a week-to-week game, and we're still playing the game that we need to figure out how to beat.

happen, I think the one thing I'm worried about is that when the lineup's lock and I open the

apps and all the cards are flipped, I'm just worried that the one thing I thought I had unlocked

is going to be like 15 to 17% roster like all the way down.

And I'm just going to get pissed off at myself because the one thing I don't want to do in this slate is play the chalk.

Because no one's good.

So why would I ever play the players that everyone else is doing?
