Hello and welcome to the Yahoo Fantasy Football podcast. I'm Matt Harmon. I am once again excited to be joined by the great Dalton Del Don.

0:11.2

Dalton, we're spending so much like digital time together, man. I feel like this has just been a huge boost in our relationship. How the hell are you doing?

0:18.0

Yeah, I'm doing well. I feel lucky, too. It's a good time to be on the pod with you because you've been knee-deep and buried in film.

0:23.6

And I'm going to talk some reception with you.

0:26.2

And I really want to leave the floor to you and talk a lot of wide receivers.

0:29.4

Yeah, I'm excited about today's show, too.

0:31.8

I was telling you just before we started recording, I've got, you know, a few guys left to do. And, you know, it's mostly players.

0:39.1

I'm not all of that. Like, I don't think there's going to be any great revelations from the last

1:20.7

teams, Carlos Hyde.

1:22.1

Chris Carson is still supposedly going to be the primary running back in 2020, per the Seattle Times,

1:26.6

but are we worried about anything going on

1:29.4

here with Hyde coming into the mix? And frankly, he's coming off a good year last year.

1:33.5

Yeah, Hyde played far better than I expected. And whether we think he's a good real-life player or not,

1:37.7

it's a 49ers fan, I once thought, you know, he's going to be a star possibly, but it couldn't stay healthy and then he was a couple of advanced metrics a couple of

1:44.9

seasons he's one of the worst um but yeah no the fact is that he could be a problem here as far as
