SLATE INTRO I did my weather analysis too early yesterday and with lots of site migrations going on it was a challenge for me to get the update in that the ATL/WAS game was likely going to get PPD. I got this update into the SLACK channel but even then it came very late for a lot of folks. The issue here remains that both FD and DK have not built into their sites the ability for a game which never starts to unlock. I understand that they have this 2016 brain lock mentality that ownership % is so important that you cannot show player ownership and then allow someone to change off that player to another spot.

Berrios has fallen into that ‘Bauer’ category that I labeled on Trevor last season when he started to see the AL Central teams far too much.
