Welcome, everyone to the score fantasy football podcast.

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

And today's episode is presented by Subway, who now deliver so you can get back to the game. Week 8 is here.

So we are almost at the halfway mark of the fantasy season. And we're getting to that time

now where winning teams can start to look ahead, can start to try to make some trades,

set themselves up for the fantasy playoffs. And we're seeing the same with the top tier NFL

teams, right? We saw the Patriots, the 49ers go out, try to bolster their receiving cores

by grabbing a couple guys that we're going to talk about some of that today. I mean,

the Sunu one to me isn't as exciting. I think maybe he could kind of crowd that depth chart a little bit there behind Julian Edelman, but we have to see what's going to happen with Josh Gordon, with Nikiel Harry. Both those guys have injuries. We'll see what their status is. We'll get a little more information on that this week. But depending on the health of those guys, I don't know that Sunu is going to have

that big of a fantasy impact. I do think Sanders could, though, but I want to bring on our

guests so he could talk about it with us. It's Bill Enright of Bull Market Fantasy, of Sports

Illustrated. It's his second appearance on the podcast, and if for some reason you didn't follow him after he was on last year, you should go to Twitter now and follow him at Bill Enright. Bill, how you been, man? I'm doing great, Justin. How your team's doing this year? Actually, really, really good. I'm very, very happy with where I'm at. I think I only have one squad that's a little disappointing, but once again,

you know, the point total is there. Just the wins haven't been. How about you? I'm doing okay.

My auction leagues are doing great. I really prefer the auction format only because I'm not

relying on picking players based on who's available of the players that are picked around me.

So I like going out and getting the players that I want. That's why I love auction. My redraft leagues, I was in like that 7-8 spot, and I whiffed on a couple of drafts, man. I whipped on a couple of players. Juju Smith-Schuster's killing me. I tricked Travis Kelsey in the second round. He has not performed up to that elite level of expectations. he's still playing well for a tight end standard, but not for a Travis Kelsey standard. So a couple of my teams are doing great. And then some other ones, week eight, you know, you're just like, okay, well, let's see if we can make a comeback here. Well, I'm with you on the auction thing too. I wish I could convince all my leagues to go to auction. But I don't know. I think it's just the time you have to spend on those drafts because I know

some of those auction drafts can go four hours, four hours plus depending how deep the league is. And I know one a few years back, I didn't even make a pick for like an hour, I think, went by. and I didn't even end up grabbing anybody during that time.

I was just sort of up in bids to make sure, you know, just sort of price enforcing to make

sure nobody got anybody on the cheap.

But hopefully eventually we can get everyone over to the auction format. I think it's really the best format and it really rewards the players or the, you know, the fantasy managers that know what they're doing because you can go out and get any guy you want.

If you wanted Christian McAfrey this year and you had a 10th pick, you didn't get them.

I mean, it's just that simple.
