Best Ball Breakfast is back and we dive into all of the latest training camp news and ADP shifts while drafting for $1.5 million in the Best Ball Mania V contest on Underdog Fantasy. Usual guests Shawn Siegele and Pat Kerrane join for drafts, while special guest Cooterdoodle from  @MBFantasyLife  joins for a final draft (no cap).
