In this week's P.O. Box:
Happy 4th
Stream roundup: Abbreviated week
Offszn Book Club: Behind schedule
On Tap: After Dark w/ Griddy
I used to sleep through the 4th of July parade, but we were there bright and early yesterday…
Between travel, some childcare hiccups, and this holiday week, my schedule has been all out of whack this past month.
I’m also behind pace on the book club for the first time this summer, which is tilting me more than it should.
I’m looking forward to getting back into a normal groove on Monday. It’s going to be a fun and busy two months as we speedrun our way to Week 1 kickoff.
🛒 2 must-draft values & 6 other discounted players to mix in. There are a few extreme discounts available in drafts right now because drafters are worried about early season production, but there are also some potential landmines. In this video, I outline how to handle all of the discounted players with late-season upside. Check it out on the Deposit Kingdom channel.
☕️ Best Ball Breakfast: Bully TE & Elite QBs. Four more drafts on BBB this week, including ones with Shawn Siegele, Pat Kerrane, and Adam Levitan. Topics discussed: making concentrated bets on upside offenses, ADP values unlocking a contrarian week 17 build, the Will Levis tape, and hot & steamy late-round selections.
🏆️ Fantasy Life roundup. This week I wrote about two cheap offenses who are going to define the 2024 fantasy season, as well as the Barkley/Giants media wars.

📈 Searching For This Year’s Puka Nacua (ADP Chasing). Kerrane, Davis, and Sam make cases for the 2024 late-round flier that you need to draft.

As I anticipated, the slow burn for the first half of this book is starting to pay off. The dead body appeared and now we are off to the races.
It took me a little to get used to French’s writing, but I’m hooked now. Hoping to finish this over the weekend and then dive into the June selections…
