Welcome, everyone to the score fantasy football podcast.

0:16.3

I'm your host, Justin Boone.

0:17.7

On today's show, we're turning all our attention over to week one here.

0:21.3

We're back with our weekly preview episodes on Wednesdays, and we always bring an outstanding

0:26.3

guests for these, some of the brightest minds in the industry helping guide the way here.

0:30.6

And we are starting off with a bang this week, because today's guest is somebody who

0:34.1

I've been battling with in the Fantasy Pro's accuracy contest for a while now.

0:39.3

John Paulson from 4 for 4. There are tons of regulars up at the top of that competition.

0:45.2

Pat Fitzmorestmorest and Sean Kerner and Jeff Ratcliffe. And actually, we've had all those guys

0:49.9

on the show over the last month or so here. So it's fitting that we're bringing John on today.

0:53.9

But John and I have been dueling. It feels like it's been about a decade i think maybe it's been nine

0:58.7

years for me he might have been in there a little bit longer but nothing but respect for him he's the

1:03.2

director of forecasting over at four for four you can find all his content rankings over there and

1:08.6

i'm excited that we're finally getting to talk here.

1:12.3

So, John, welcome to the show, man.

1:12.8

How are you?

1:14.3

Pretty good, Justin.

1:15.8

Thanks for having me on.

1:19.6

1:27.9

but also getting ready for week one. So we're pulling double duty, as you said. Yeah, I feel like there's a few times in the off season where you have to make those transitions, like when you're doing all your dynasty stuff and dynasty drafts and everything, and then you have to start to shift towards redraft. And then this is another one where, like, you're thinking about the full season and then we're starting to do the week one rankings and you got to kind of shift from from one to the other right yeah definitely and anytime something happens like this curtis samuel thing that just popped up you got to adjust both sets of rankings so it's it's twice much work yeah what john's talking about there is as curtis samuel pulled up in today. So it's looking like maybe he won't be able to be out there for week. Well, we were a little cautious with him anyway just because he missed so much time in the offseason. They're going back to OTAs with the groin injury. So it's not a guarantee yet, but we'll see what happens. But they have other guys there like Diami Brown and even Adam Humphreys.
