About this episode
With exactly 1 month to go until the start of the NFL season, Best Ball Breakfast returns for the usual slate of drafts (solo, with Shawn Siegele, with Pat Kerrane) and concluding with special guest Dwain McFarland from @MBFantasyLife . Topics discussed: Hyper deadzone RB build, adjustments to make in the new RB landscape, the scourge of knee injuries, the rookie WRs who can't afford a slow start to training camp, and late-round upside bets.
