We talked last week, Sean about, oh, yeah, you can find all of Sean's work at

rhodo if you didn't already know that from every other intro.

We talked last week, Sean, about the rookie quarterbacks and how they were undervalued in all formats.

And this seemed like a really fun contest for people who don't know there's 12 rounds.

It's only a four person draft.

All you can draft are rookies and sophomores.

And so there is definitely some added constraints in this format where there's not a ton of strong

quarterbacks first of all obviously the 2021 quarterback class not fantastic but the second year

quarterbacks do tend to go a lot higher than the rookie quarterbacks and then as far as the

starting lineup goes you start one quarterback one back, two receivers slash tight ends.

You don't have a dedicated tight end spot and one flex.

And then you have seven bench spots to make the 12 total spots.

It's a really fun format, quick drafts.

We're going to do two of them on the show.

And Underdog is a half point PPR format as well.
