Episode Details

The first 8 rounds are easy. The rest is tough. On today's marathon show, Dan covers his favorite 34 names going AFTER the 8th round of standard 9-cat fantasy drafts, grouping them on upside, floor, predictability, and more! In part one, we work our way through the first 17 names, moving toward the deep list but that's largely saved for part two.
