We know it's March and you may be more stressed about your bracket this week than your fantasy dynasty shares. Heck, who are we kidding, you definitely have someone you're stressed about after the flurry of free agency moves in the past week.

The two also debate which QB the Vikings could realistically target in the draft now that they have two first round picks.
