Players discussed in this episode:

Time to wash our hands of the horrible schedule last week and jump right into an amazing schedule this week! Only Monday has double digit games, so targeting teams with four starts for streamers is a great idea.

Our extra long special is right around the corner, so don't be too hungover coming into the new year!
