A milestone.

Let's talk to the pros.

Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros.

This is the Fantasy Football Podcast.

It's me Joey P, Joe Pisa, and you are about to watch on YouTube and listen to history

because this is the thousandth episode of the Fantasy Pros Football Podcast.

Unbelievable.

Congratulations to the Fantasy Pros company, the brand, a thousand shows, and no, it's not the thousand shows that I've hosted just this week.

No, no, this is actually a thousandth overall, an incredible milestone here for the company and personally, professionally.

I want to thank all of the people behind the scenes that you don't see in here who make this show tick and also all the guests we've had for many, many years now, not to mention the incredible team that we have here at Fantasy Pros.

But most importantly, all of you who listen as part of your routine, who watch this show on the YouTube channel, we see you, we see the numbers, we see not only you guys here in the biggest numbers ever at Fantasy Pros, but also the biggest numbers ever this time of year.

Which means we must be doing something right and you know what, without you guys, the audience, there is no show.

So special shout out to all of you who've been such an amazing part here, an amazing community building fantasy pros from the ground up here.

And we just want to say thank you on behalf of everybody here, the thousandth episode, what a beautiful day Derek Browns in a good mood, because he won a bunch of DFS tournaments yesterday.

I'm in a lesser mood because I didn't have Christian Watson had all the other pieces I had fields I had to commit I had all these things I was right about sake one and paying up for him.

I didn't have Christian Watson, so I fell short of Derek Browns, so he is buying lunch today after the pod, but our guest today as the confluence of fun weird events should have it is the first ever winner of the Mike Tecliere excuse me, rising star award.

And tags was obviously a huge part of fantasy pros for many years, we always call this the house the tags built and Kevin Coleman joins us from football guys and Debbie Royale Kevin was the winner of the inaugural award here for the Mike Tecliere rising star award.

And we are so happy to have him here on the show as part of that.

I think it's a great moment because we're keeping everything alive here on the thousandth show, a really cool kind of moment here and this wasn't planned just happened to be how this fell.

So maybe just maybe our good friend tags is looking down on us and smile a little bit talking football, so let's talk football and let's talk bears for old friend tags, how about Justin fields, what do you think, Kevin, I want to press the guest right at the top here.

You tell me what are you making of what the bears offense has become in the last month.

Yeah, I was right up in that by right like they kind of came out and they said, hey, we're going to build around him and I think they just utilize his rushing ability. I mean, he already has like when you're looking at it, he's going to probably get over a thousand years rushing this year, he's got seven games left.
