This is an iHeart podcast. [upbeat music] Guaranteed Human. [upbeat music] Welcome in everybody to Fantasy Pros. This is the Fantasy Football Podcast. It is me, Joey P, Joe Pisapia, and today we're gonna take an early look at 12 sleepers that are very popular right now in the early going. We got best ball drafts kinda happening. Things are percolating. It's post draft season. Rookie drafts are going on in dynasty, so we're gonna talk about some of these names that are getting some early helium, and whether or not you should be inflating them as well onto your rosters. To help us get through, we got Scott Bogman here, uh, one of the hosts here of our college football content, and of course, over here on Fantasy Pros as well. And our special guest today, one of the godfathers of fantasy football, one of my mentors, one of my heroes, one of my favorite bald brothers, the football diehard, Bob Harris is here from Sirius XM Radio joining us. Bob, it's great to see you, my friend. I know this is kinda like a little bit of a lull here. So how does Bob Harris keep himself busy this time of year? Before we really get into training camp, but it's post draft, what's the Bob Harris schedule look like?
Bob Harris· Guest1:05

Uh, Hot Seat YouTube video is also on the Fantasy Football Show. So there are no days off, as you know. By the way, you confused me with two things. That glorious tan, Bogman and I need to do some work clearly.
