Welcome, everyone to the score fantasy football podcast.

I'm your host, Justin Boone, the lead fantasy analyst at The Score.

We got a great show for you today, a new guest joining us for the first time. It's Ben Gretsch, CBS Sports. You can also

listen to him on the Fantasy Football Today podcast. You can find him on Twitter at Yards

Per Gretsch. And he writes a fantastic weekly article over at CBS.

It's called Stealing Signals, breaks down every single game.

It's filled with snap count info and great stats.

A ton of valuable takeaways in that one.

You're going to be a smarter fantasy manager if you read that article.

That's the easiest way to put it.

So definitely check that out.

And it's why I'm glad we have them on with us today. You share some of that knowledge ben welcome to show man hey thanks for having me on i'm excited to join and yeah that was quite the intro uh kind of overstating my accomplishments there a little bit probably no way well learned well learned i've been i've been reading every single week stealing signals i love the way you do it where you go more in depth, but you also kind of have like the Cliff Note section as well. If people just want to skim it, a lot of content's going that way, right? I see a lot of people who do their waiverware articles now where they just put the short lists at the top. And then if you want the write-ups, you can actually go read below because everyone just wants to skim through. We get it. But I'll admit, when I was putting together the notes for today's show, I looked pretty closely at stealing signals because I want to dive into that stuff. But before we do, it's the time of year when a lot of fantasy managers are asking about players they can stash for the playoffs. I've been getting a lot of questions about it.

So I want to hit it right off the top here.

Do you have a player, maybe a couple players,

that you're trying to get on rosters before the fantasy postseason hits here?

Yeah, I mean, I think the biggest thing with that question for me is you look at it positionally.

And at this point, as we get through buys, I'm trying to optimize my bench for what could

have the most impact for my rosters in the playoffs, which means handcuffed running backs,

largely.

I mean, I don't really need depth that receiver on teams that are good and headed towards

a playoffs.

And I have strong receivers.
