The Best Pick in Every Round + Week 1 Waivers with Scott Barrett

Matthew Berry (0:08)

Well, it's noon on YouTube, but it's 5 o'clock somewhere, so that means the Happy Hour Bar is officially open. What's up? Happy former Labor Day weekend. Hope you guys had an awesome Labor Day weekend.

My name is Matthew Berry, your friendly neighborhood bartender here, and we've got a great show coming up today. So it's a week one is always a little bit weird, right? Because you've got drafts still going on. I'm literally in three different drafts tonight, including the inaugural Fantasy Football Happy Hour Regulars Listener League. Me and 17 of the Regulars drafting tonight, we're doing a guillotine league. Course guillotineleagues.com open free. If you want to play for money, we take no fee. Every dollar that goes into your entry fee is into the prize pool. That is not the case with anywhere else you play for money. But we take no fees at guillotineleagues.com. If you just want to try it, if you want to just jump into a league for free, please do so. We have leagues going on all today, all tomorrow. Honestly, throughout the season, because that's the great thing with guillotineleagues, is like you can do a draft every single week. Anyway, so I've actually got three different drafts tonight. I've got another one tomorrow. So for people that are still, there's people drafting this week along. I actually have a draft on Thursday night as well.

So still five drafts left for me, left for your boy, Matty. And then, but then also we've got games. We've got a game Wednesday night. We got a game Thursday night. We got games this weekend. We got a Monday night game coming up. So lots to get to. It's always kind of a weird week as well, but helping you navigate it throughout, FantasyLife Plus, you can use the promo code Berry, 10, you can use, sorry, you can use the promo code Berry, B-E-R-R-Y, for 10% off, FantasyLife Plus, that gives you 37 different tools, award-winning tools, that help you win your league, your DFS, your DFS 2.0, your bets, whatever it is you play, we've got tools that'll make it a lot easier, including our Fantasy HQ tool, which allows you to sync your leagues across every site, every play, you're able to see all of your scores and your leagues and your lineups and waiver moves you should make, trades you should make all in one spot.

You know what? And my next guest, I'm very excited about my guest today.

Yo, you know what? You know who drinks for free? That's the last thing I forgot here before I bring in my guest here today, who drinks for free. And it's with an asterisk because it's apple juice. It's my nephew Eli, my nephew Eli Berry. He had his Bar Mitzvah this weekend. So congratulations to Eli again. He's only 13, so he can only drink apple juice. But all the apple juice he wants for free at the Happy Hour Bar, shout out to Eli on his Bar Mitzvah. Congratulations to him. All right, it was an awesome weekend. Here we go now. Now, time to bring in my guest, Scott Barrett. Of course, we all follow him on Twitter, at Scott Barrett, DFB. A lot of times people that listen to this show, Scott, and you are the CEO of fantasypoints.com, and I think a lot of people that know you, and I include myself in this, a lot of people that know you are like, wait, that guy's a CEO?

But somehow, someway, and I have to assume it's entirely because of the work of Graham Barfield, who I love and adore. But somehow, someway, under your leadership, Fantasy Points continues to grow and thrive and does a great job. fantasypoints.com and the Fantasy Points Data Suite, you guys just released your Data Suite 2 the other day.

This morning.

So congratulations on that. But here's what I'll say about Scott, and then we'll get into it. Because coming up, like I said, we're going to go through our perfect draft for people that are drafting tonight or tomorrow, and they're also going to do week one waivers. But a lot of people hear me on this show, Scott, complain about the dynasty league you and I are in. It's actually called the DFB League after you.

Because this is the dynasty league that I'm in with Scott and Graham, and a bunch of other people in the industry, all really smart people, that where we have to draft rookies before the NFL draft. So we have no idea where these people are going to go. And it's 12 teams, 33 man rosters, I think four IR spots.
