It's a huge episode this week, and Jeff Mans tackles several very important topics. First off, Mans gives a breakdown of his first few picks of the Scott Fish Bowl 14 league draft, including a pair of really tough decisions between premium players on the round 1-2 turn. That decision actually leads to a bigger conversation regarding Jets QB Aaron Rodgers and his tendency to throw super short TD passes.

Jeff announces some of the new and improved features for the 2024 Fantasy Football Draft Guide at Fantasy Guru dot com this year and discusses some of the trends that are behind this new content.
