Now, without further ado, here's the latest edition of the RotoViz High Stakes Lowdown.

Good evening, everybody, and welcome into the mid-season finale of the 2025 RotoViziz High Stakes Lowdown. I am your host, Eric Balkman. You know me from the High Stakes Fantasy Football Hour, the Better Sports Network's Insider Access Show, and of course, the Fantasy Football Players Championship. I want to give a shout out to the FFPC, obviously, for making the show happen along with RotoBiz. And with the FFPC going on right now, the FFPC Big Gorilla Tournament, and we just, we did a little update today. The teams are selling a little bit faster than they did last year in both the big gorilla, the main event and our best ball and Superflex best ball tournaments. I'll'll tell you more about that. The big gorilla tournament, a million dollar grand prize, just $350 to enter, $50 discount on every third team you get. The seven bananas promo is live. So if you keep getting that seven pick multiple times in a row, we're going to keep giving you progressively and progressively more and more free teams, starting with a free

FFPC bestball tournament team, which we've given away 39 of those so far. And it culminates.

If you get that seven pick five times in a row, we're going to give you a free jungle safari for

four or $50,000, whichever you'd prefer. So that's at myfpc.com as well as the main event.

It's our flagship event. Again, a million dollar grand prize in that contest as well.

Slow and draft, slow and live drafts are running right now.

The FFPC bestball and Superflex best ball tournament, $125 and $35 to enter respectively.

But you're still going for a $300,000 and a $100,000 grand prize in that $100,000 runner-up prize in the FFPC basketball tournament as well. That's something new this year that we've added. Don't forget about the super bracket. Don't forget about the Terminator. Don't forget about all the other cool stuff like dynasty leagues that we have going on at my ffpc.com. Those range from anywhere from $100 all the way to $5,000, $2,000 plus leagues in 15 years none have ever folded. Myfpc.com is where to sign up for those. Remember to like this video, subscribe to the channel, comments on the video, share with your friend, share with your enemies, and get notified each and every time we go live by clicking on that notification bell on the YouTube screen. Without further ado, let's bring in tonight's guest for August here.

He is a guy that we've had on the high stakes fantasy footballer. He's been on this show, I think

multiple times, for sure, now multiple times. If he hasn't been before, seven-time FFPC league champion.

He drafted in the FFPC Pros versus Joe's competition, I believe in the first draft on July 20th.

And we're going to rehash that tonight along with his player evaluations on some other players as well as some draft strategy in the FFPC as well.

Please welcome into the program please
