Becoming a Best Ball Bro: Fade Josh Allen?

**Rich Ryan** (0:01)
JJ, have you had any serious conversations with your kids of late?

**JJ Zachariason** (0:07)
Yeah, you know, my daughter is getting to the age where there's some friend stuff she's got to deal with as we all did in elementary school, and sitting down talking to her about that. How about you?

**Rich Ryan** (0:18)
Yeah, last week was one of those situations where I had to sit my son down and deliver some really difficult news. They were learning about the solar system in TK, and I had to regretfully inform him that Pluto is no longer a planet.

I'm JJ, and over the last couple of years, I've been doing everything I can to be a best ball bro. Last season, things finally fell into place. I got 40th in the DraftKings Millie Contest taking home $20,000.
Maybe I became a best ball bro, but I'm still looking to learn more about this game, and I still want others to come on this ride with me. So even if you consider me a best ball bro, this could be your year. This could be the year that you officially become a best ball bro.

Welcome in to another episode of Becoming a Best Ball Bro. I'm JJ Zachariason, joined as always by Rich Ryan. Rich, the Knicks are down 2-1, but how you feeling? Or sorry, up 2-1. Sorry.

**Rich Ryan** (2:11)
But it feels like it. It feels like it.

**JJ Zachariason** (2:13)
As a lifelong Knicks fan, as a lifelong Knicks fan who experienced a Knicks victory in New York City last weekend, look, it was an honest mistake there.

**Rich Ryan** (2:24)
Vibes were off last night at the stadium.
Game seemed like it was out of control, and this is one of those where game four now is, if you go up 2-0 and then you lose 2 at home, the vibes are all the way in the dumpster. So we're hanging on tight. We're used to being faced with the worst situations possible as New York sports fans, the non-Yankee New York sports fans amongst us. So we're prepared for the worst, unfortunately.

**JJ Zachariason** (2:54)
Yeah, I mean, it would be crazy, but I mean, they kept it close. It wasn't like a blowout last night.

**Rich Ryan** (3:02)
That's the scary thing on both ends, is that the first two games were close, and we edged it out. Every game has been close, so The Neutral is very much enjoying this final so far.

**JJ Zachariason** (3:11)
Yes. But look, this is not a basketball podcast. This is a football podcast. I'm back from my trip with the guys over the weekend in New York City. We went to basically every bureau.
We were all over the map on that trip. I was just telling Rich about it before we started recording, but it's good to be back. It's good to not have to take the subway. It's good to be able to relax a little bit, lay out in my suburban home and not have to deal with the chaos of the millions and millions of people that are around that city. Shout out to New York City, though. I had a great time. Let's talk about best ball. Let's talk about fantasy football. I fortunately had all my slows done before my trip. I had like 60 slows going at the time. Now I'm back in it doing some slows, hopping in some millies. We're going to be doing some live streams on the YouTube channel starting this week and all summer long. But I do want to talk about some watch outs. You know, like this intro part, we have a guest on today's show. If you guys are new to Becoming a Best Ball Bro, we do a little bit of an intro. We just kind of talk about what we're seeing within the best ball landscape at the moment. And I came up with four things that I want to talk about as like call outs, watch outs of what I'm seeing at the moment. And I'm curious if others agree or disagree. But the first one I want to say, I was thinking about this last night because I have not drafted a ton of 0RB teams so far this year, like a ton. At least compared to what we were doing a couple of years ago, right?
