Football is almost here! We are joined by Sigmund Bloom from Footballguys to shed light on which players you should consider starting and sitting during the first week of NFL action!

Now that most teams are drafted and we begin thinking about our lineups, Pat Mayo of DraftKings joins us on the show to break down Week 1's top sleeper options at each position. Chase Edmonds could find himself the beneficiary of the Air Raid offense (5:49), Matt Breida is no slouch which he proved last season (10:29), and C.J. Anderson could steal some touches from Kerryon Johnson this week (23:13). We move onto the WRs starting with Ted Ginn Jr. (25:16). Pat explains why he's a big fan of Dede Westbrook (35:04) this week and beyond.

Justin Boone from theScore is with us today as we give our insight on which players we are trying to get in every draft. Are we heavily undervaluing Tre'Quan Smith (2:41) and does O.J.

Are you ready for the season because we certainly are. Jim Sannes of numberFire took time to join the show and together, we're focusing in on a few key names that haven't been mentioned all that much this year. Kenyan Drake (3:25) and Kenny Stills (4:07) have been in the headlines recently, but is there any weight to the trade rumors? Should we buy into the report that Melvin Gordon is likely going to sign a deal (5:08)? We're naming our top three breakouts beginning with a pair of Packers receivers (12:26). Kirk Cousins has a golden opportunity to return to fantasy stardom (29:40) and Royce Freeman could bounce back from his rookie campaign to not only make an impact, but hurt Phillip Lindsay's value (42:02).   Sponsors: FantasyDraft - FantasyDraft is changing the game with rake-free DFS.

The crew is reunited with BettingPros Podcast host, Dan Harris, and together the trio shares their top preseason takeaways. The guys engage in a couple heated debates on Tony Pollard's (3:37) value if Ezekiel Elliott misses games and Derrius Guice's (16:18) upside if he takes over Washington's starting RB job soon. Is Dede Westbrook (26:48) primed to excel as Nick Foles' top receiver and does Josh Allen (43:56) possess top-10 QB potential? We finish out the show with a fun round of Fantasy Fill in the Blank (48:00) and discuss whether Sammy Watkins (59:39) is being far too overlooked in drafts.
