The Dispatch is reporting that Filatov's work visa is nearly ready and that he is expected to arrive in North America by the weekend.

Drafting is among one of the most important parts of fantasy sports. You can make smart daily or weekly lineup decisions, but it won't mean anything if you don't have good players.
