Why look ahead when we can look back? Chris Vaccaro goes over his team builds in his high-stakes drafts and spins it out into what to expect this season from his most-rosterd players. Including:
--the surprise RB he is all in on this season
--his wacky tight end pairing
--a vague QB strategy
--and how to properly back up a strong WR start to a draft
Plus, Chris and his high stakes buddies made fun of Nando's deep WR sleepers Curtis Samuel and Donovan Peoples-Jones. Time will tell if it was justified.
