Playing an Auction Room, the Chris Carson Bargain, and Keenan Allen's New World
Beller, Jake and Brandon are still on FLEX Leagues duty, taking a look at Jake's performance in the 12-team auction. Early buys of Michael Thomas and Travis Kelce sent Jake off his pregame plan, which leads to a discussion on auction best practices. Where's the love for Chris Carson? Should we be afraid of Tyrod Taylor, as it relates to Keenan Allen? Is there any sense in paying up for the elite quarterbacks? The guys get into all that, and a whole lot more.
