It’s ruck week and even though the three spots make up just one-tenth of our Fantasy Classic squads, there are a range of options being explored. We catch up with last year’s runner-up and 2x top 10 finisher Kyle Holmes to discuss the big men. Also Heff from the Keeper League Podcast helps us out with things to know ahead of the second year of Draft keeper leagues. It’s another bumper episode! Let’s do this!
