## Resource

Time for a little strategy session! Chris and Drew talk about prospects who have made their debut in 2026 and whether the savvy dynasty manager is selling high, buying low, or holding tight. They also ask the unanswerable question: Are Bubba Chandler and Chase DeLauter the same person? Give it a listen and let us know what you think.
