Just wanted to say Paul, THANK YOU for all your thoughtful research and analysis this year. I listen to lots of industry podcasts but shame on me for never bothering to thank the hosts for their hard work…but Sleeper and the Bust has me hoping to finish Top 3 and in the money, in at least 5 of my 6 roto leagues this year. You (and of course Eno and Jason and many others in the industry) have helped me take my player analysis to a new level this year…So I wanted to send at least one email to say thanks for putting such a high quality product out there for us.
And for even doing a special episode today just focusing on final week pickups…very much appreciated! Because at this point, every SB counts 🙂
