They start by getting into the Dejounte Murray trade and how that might have changed the landscape in the Eastern Conference. Do the Hawks have the best backcourt in the East, or maybe even the league?

After all of that, they dive into their top-12 QB rankings for the 2022 fantasy football season. From 12-1 the guys give their reasoning behind ranking the players and talk about some pros/cons to each one.
