You're about to listen to The Late-Round Fantasy Football Show, which originally aired on YouTube. If you'd like to catch the show live this offseason, you can head to the Late-Round Fantasy Football YouTube channel, youtube.com/atlate-roundff. We'll be live each Wednesday at noon Eastern. Without further ado, here's this week's episode.

**David Kitchen** (0:30)
Welcome in, welcome in. It's the Late-Round Fantasy Football Show, sponsored by DraftKings. David Kitchen here alongside JJ. We have some no huddle data, JJ, and we're kind of in no huddle mode right now.

**JJ Zachariason** (0:45)
Yeah, it's been crazy. And look, I've heard from you, if you want updated rankings, we will be updating rankings, or I will be updating rankings today. You don't need to email me, you don't need to message me. I know it's coming. I know you have a draft tonight. I get it. And there's a lot of stuff that happened.
It's just that time of year where people are...
One other sort of PSA that I want to throw out there is that we're very fortunate that a lot of people read the draft guide and get the draft guide. And unfortunately, if you do email us and you ask about your particular league settings, and you send a very long email about... It's just impossible for me to get to everything. If I were to get to everything, I wouldn't be able to do my job at all. It would be a full-time job. So if I ignore that email, it has nothing to do with that. It's just I literally can't get to everything. We get questions all the time about like, hey, my league settings are X, Y, and Z. And I would love to sit down and talk through your league settings and what to do. It's just literally impossible. There's just a lot of people. And I'm very thankful and grateful for that. But hopefully you guys understand, which is why honestly, we have the price points where we do with the things that we sell. Is that seems fair. I'm active on Discord all the time. I'm there answering questions during the live streams and stuff and I just I can't get to everything, unfortunately, just the nature of where we're at right now.

**David Kitchen** (2:14)
Yeah. Speaking of that, we have our draft guide available, late round.com. You can go on late round.com, the new late round.com, and sign up for the newsletter. Speaking of ADPs, we had an ADP newsletter. Biggest ADP differences from Brangadula that went out this morning. And then we also have the all access plan, where you can become a member. And you are if you become an all access member, you get everything that the insider members already have, but you also get the guides that we release every year. So that's included in your plan. And again, just piggybacking off of what JJ said, like we're working hard and we would very much like your support.
And I just appreciate everyone who has already voiced so much support already.
And for the guide and for everything else going on. So we are starting this year a week later than usual, and people are still gearing up this early. I have never, I can't remember like a week in the preseason that has been this much movement as far as injuries go, JJ.

**JJ Zachariason** (3:39)
Yeah, I mean, yeah, and it's a pain in the butt because we don't know injury timelines. And so I know when these rankings are published, it's going to be question after question. So hopefully they make sense. And I did want to caveat with what I caveat it with because it's just going to be impossible to get to every single one that comes my way.

**David Kitchen** (3:59)
Yeah. Also want to just give a shout out to DraftKings.
And they are genuously, or genuously, I don't even know.

**JJ Zachariason** (4:08)
Generously?

**David Kitchen** (4:09)
Generously. Genuously is genuine and generously.

**JJ Zachariason** (4:14)
But they are genuine about it.

**David Kitchen** (4:16)
Yes, they are. But they're generously sponsoring our show so that we can put it out there for you guys. Also, we have the best ball streams on our YouTube channel.
And I think we'll even be doing a stream after this. JJ, if you can't, I can. Just let me know.

**JJ Zachariason** (4:33)
I can do it. I can do it.

**David Kitchen** (4:34)
It's scheduled. It's already scheduled, so it'll autoplay after this.
If you're listening on demand, you can go back and watch it as well. We've got live streams most weekdays around 1 p.m. Eastern time. So a lot that is happening. We appreciate everyone again for tuning in and just being interactive on this show. It's going to be a fun show, JJ. There's going to be some sad elements to it, but it's going to be a fun show. Are you ready?
