Show notes

The guys talk all things fantasy football (and the NFL) in front of a sold-out crowd in Los Angeles! The guys open by going through some of the biggest training camp story lines, as explained by quotes from the movie ‘Zoolander’ (3:14). Next, they play a game of 20s or 40s? to determine which veteran fantasy stars are still attractive draft picks this season (17:35). Along the way, they determine how the D.I.C.A.P.R.I.O. system (Decline in Carries After Productive Rusher Is Over 27) applies to their favorite aging RBs (35:06). Finally, they close with an Oreos taste test and a special (in-person) edition of emails (50:15).
