Feel It or F–It 8.10.26 with Bob Harris and Matt Waldman

**Bob Harris** (0:00)
Good morning, everybody. It's me, Bob Harrison, undisclosed bunker. The heart hits cabal of stans out there, chasing me down, looking to do me in, so their guy can take over, so these podcasts can be eight hours long, instead of three more amount of time. Good luck, fellas, come get me.

**Matt Waldman** (0:21)
I'm here for you. At the Pima County Penitentiary for the criminally insane.

**Bob Harris** (0:28)
That's Matt Waldman.
You know him from the Ricky Scott portfolio. Probably know both of us from football, guys. You might know me from Sirius XM Fantasy Sports Radio. We're here to fill in for feel and fuck things, both. Sometimes the same thing. Wow, look at us go. Matt, how are you today?

**Matt Waldman** (0:43)
Man, I'm doing okay.
We got the RSP projections out for the first update of August. If you subscribe to that, you got it in your email this morning. So far, we only had one person who may eventually owe me a beer when it comes to reading the directions and making sure they clicked on the right thing. But yeah, you'll get an access email within 24 hours of purchase. So if you haven't purchased the projections and Dynasty rankings yet, where you get projections updated for every team, every player that I think is going to have an impact on that roster, whether they're a backup or they are a starter, and then you get WinNow rankings for the next two years that I look at. I mean, in terms of that's what I'm looking at in terms of the criteria. And then also Long Build, which is you're looking to contend three to four years from now. So you get a list ranking with some commentary. You also get cheat sheets with tiers and ages. And you know, it fits on basically two pages for you to be able to use if you're an old school drafter who wants to have something tangible in their hand. If you're new school, it's easy to navigate. You'll be able to look around. You can get it at mountwaldman.com 24.95. If you want the companion rookie scouting portfolio and the post-draft guide, you can get that for 21.95.
I honestly, I tell this to my people, I'm probably hurting myself business-wise, but I would say it's great to get both. But I would say that if you're not one of those hyper analytical neurotics that we all tend to be when it comes to rankings updates every two seconds, I would still look at the post-draft guide, to be honest to start, and just say, let's cut through all that, because in two years, this is probably still going to be more accurate than the up-to-the-moment dynasty worry that tends to happen at this time of year.

**Bob Harris** (2:58)
I'll push back on this a little bit. I thought, well, I think you're right.
In the season we're discussing, it can be the shortcut. But I think having that as a reference, just like being able to go back and look at an All-Mac or whatever, like having the full RSP as players go into their careers, and over time you start to maybe notice they're doing something, it's good to go back and revisit that. I do it endlessly and sometimes I'll do it for historical purposes as well. I just enjoy looking back and saying, oh wow, what happened to that guy? And then say, oh, it's Hockey Bowler, it's not that great.

**Matt Waldman** (3:36)
But like Luther Burden's groin injury or Jamar Chase dropping balls as a rookie, or who was it? AJ Brown's groin injury or that kind of thing, where people suddenly panic and it's time to get good deals.

**Bob Harris** (3:56)
Well, let's panic a little bit and talk about Luther Burden's groin injury, expected to miss all of August, should be ready week one.
This is not great news for anyone investing in him, unless you haven't drafted yet, then I would argue it's the best news because the price is going to be driven down. Am I too aggressive on this, Matt? Feel it or fuck it?

**Matt Waldman** (4:15)
No, you're not too aggressive. I'm totally feeling this because it's a minor injury. And what they're doing is they've already had a week at camp. You're going to find that a lot of these players have injuries that are going to hold them out for days at a time that stretch into a week or two. And people are concerned. And it turns out that the team was using the injury as an excuse to let that person rest. And I think we've seen enough from Luther Burden over the first two weeks that I'm not saying that this was kayfabe and that he faked a groin injury and that's it. But I am saying that it's probably not as serious as people think. And they're not going to push them because they want them to be 100%.
