**JJ Zachariason** (0:00)
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/atlateroundff.
We'll be live each Wednesday at noon Eastern. Without further ado, here's this week's episode.

**David Kitchen** (0:31)
Welcome in, welcome in. It's The Late-Round Fantasy Football Show, sponsored by DraftKings. David Kitchen here, alongside my pal, my friend, my employer, the guy that I am currently in battle alongside, JJ Zachariason. JJ, how's it going?

**JJ Zachariason** (0:52)
What's up? First off, I'm the one who just lost power right before the show started, and I think you have the wrong mic input right now.

**David Kitchen** (0:59)
Okay. Well, let's...

**JJ Zachariason** (1:00)
So I would at least make sure that... Because it sounds like it's coming from your computer, as opposed to the microphone right now.

**David Kitchen** (1:06)
Okay.

**JJ Zachariason** (1:07)
But no, things are hectic. There's stuff going on in work life. There's stuff going on in personal life. That's just a lot.
So bear with me as I navigate those things. If you're a member, if you're a listener, hopefully, in a few weeks, things are totally back to normal. But I know the podcast feeds is looking a little bit different with the rewind episodes, all that kind of stuff. So bear with me.

**David Kitchen** (1:35)
Yeah. Does that sound good? Okay.

**JJ Zachariason** (1:38)
You sound good now.

**David Kitchen** (1:39)
Yeah.

**JJ Zachariason** (1:39)
All right.

**David Kitchen** (1:40)
I mean, we are just all over the place.
And part of that is also because of this humongous project we call The Draft Guide.
That will release July 10th. So 24 days until the draft guide. And that gives a little bit of anxiety, but that's okay. We are breaking this down and starting. This is going to be unlike any other late-round draft guide we have had in the past. We'll say that. And it's going to be really good. But also it means a lot more kind of brain power and stuff that we're doing that we haven't done in the past. We've got Branding and Dula helping us out. But thoughts on the draft guide?

**JJ Zachariason** (2:26)
Yeah. So to give you guys an idea where I'm at, I'm hopefully going to wrap up the wide receiver section here soon and then move on to talking some tight ends and working on tight ends. But there's also a whole brand new area of that draft guide where I'm going to be kind of using in the past, I think we mentioned this last week a little bit, but in the past, it's been positional section, and then your approach to this year, positional section, and then your approach to this year.
This year though, it's more so bringing that all together and having a more comprehensive approach to your drafts this season, that brings together all of those different parts. Like you said, it's laid out a little bit different, there's brand new content in it, a lot new content, it needed a refresh and that's exactly what you're getting in this 2026 version.

**David Kitchen** (3:16)
Okay, and with that being said, we also have the new website that you can go and become a member, lateraound.com.
Also, you become an all access member for one annual price and get both our draft guide and our rookie prospect guide that we do every year, and everything else that comes with our membership as far as the Discord, the rankings that you get. So consider becoming an all access member if you haven't already. And we want to give a shout out to our sponsor DraftKings. We talk about the Dogo. I had someone message me the other day, he's like, I love Dogo. He's another marketing guy from another company.

**JJ Zachariason** (4:00)
Nice.

**David Kitchen** (4:00)
And I said, well, we'll just run with it then. It's a draft one, get one promotion with DraftKings. And so you draft one, you get a bonus entry, and you can find that link in the description of this podcast or video that you're watching. So just know that it's a $20 million contest this year. And we've got the Becoming a Best Ball Bro series that has kicked off. We've got the live streams. I'm actually going to be drafting a live stream tomorrow and Thursday morning. So make sure you have notifications on for this, JJ.
As far as the best ball scenes, we're getting some news that are kind of affecting some of these ADPs with best ball.

**JJ Zachariason** (4:48)
Yeah, for sure.
