It's hard to believe that another summer has come and gone, and this is my fourth year writing this column for ESPN. I had the pleasure of taking part in the Rankings Summit back in May for the second time and with the shift in the content that I produce centering around NFL and NBA daily fantasy entirely, it's freed up my summertime from focusing on each slate of daily fantasy baseball to just preparing myself for the coming season of NFL.
