48 Hours Left to Draft NFL Best Balls!! - Final Look at 2019 Best Ball Drafts (008)

48 hours until the 2019 NFL season starts means 48 hours more to draft best balls, and with the Draft Best Ball Championship looking like it might overlay, there is no better time to do it than now.  Ivan takes us through a whirlwind episode of strategy and players to target at every point in the draft with segments on wide-outs who are set up for success due to injuries around them and players whose ADP might be VERY wrong.  Also, we discuss a spicy new Gamble Pod original strategy that includes taking ONLY 3 RBs in the Best Ball Championship.  Finally, we close with late round pass catching backs with upside and a look at whether Matt Ryan is set up for success this year. Lots of take-aways from this episode as you draft your last best balls of the season or if you need a little extra advice before your fantasy league draft!
