BWB 020 - Round One Predictions Welcome to another episode of Breakfast with the Beats. In this episode, Mike and Dave discuss: - players that made us pivot from our original plans…
So the first question that we have tonight is a great question and one that I really spent some time with this week.
And the question was, name a player that was dropped in one of your leagues that dropped where you had to just pivot from whatever plan you might have had and grab that guy.
Now it's a keeper league and I didn't necessarily need him for my plan to move forward.
And to me, that's a huge upgrade from Dansby Swanson because, you know, he's, he's got the power potential and, When he's healthy, he can hit.
And I think this season he's been under under like just not not playing too well because he's been hurt.
I think he's well, he's definitely an upgrade for me this season because Swanson's out for the year.
But it brought up a really important part of playing fantasy, whether it's dynasty or redraft.
You might have a plan in mind, but always keep an eye on the waiver wire because something might happen where you may have to pivot.
And, you know, we always talk about pivoting in drafting, right? But when you have to pivot during in-season, it's important to be able to adapt to these things.
It might be one of those things where I've got to add them right now, or I might have to add them in a couple of days and make a choice.
But I think it's very important to assess where you are, assess your team, and then always be ready to adapt and change on the fly.
I mean, I think Adamas is another one of those types of guys that's a proven player.
You have a pretty good idea of what you're going to be getting, I think, when you get them.
