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 season, you can head to The Late-Round Fantasy Football YouTube channel at youtube.com/atlate-roundff.

We'll be live every Friday at 1 p.m. 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.

David Kitchen here alongside JJ Zachariason. And for the audio listeners, I just want them to know the hat versus no hat. Listen, we're hatless on this show.

JJ Zachariason (0:44)

We're hatless. Yeah.

No hats today. I gotta do stuff after work today. Got a big like school party thing, this festival thing that's going on. So I can't, gotta at least have my hair done for that. I'm still gonna rep a late-round t-shirt, I think. I think that's the route I'm gonna go there. It's just an outdoor, you know, it's not like it's like a formal thing, so I can get away with it.

David Kitchen (1:05)

Is it a fall fest?

JJ Zachariason (1:06)

It is, yeah.

David Kitchen (1:07)

Yeah.

JJ Zachariason (1:08)

Yeah.

David Kitchen (1:09)

My daughter has a fall dance going on. It's it's followed it and right now the temperatures in Tennessee rapidly dropping. It's been like 90 degrees. Yeah. Record high temperatures.

Yeah. So anyways, all right, we have some stuff to talk about, but before we do want to get to just everything that we've got going on with the site, lots of free content out there. In fact, we just rolled out some more free content. As far as the Data Dump Show on Monday, Mondays are Data Dump Days. So JJ has his Data Dump List. We send out the email, we post it on Reddit, and then also we now have the show with Brandon Gadula and I, and Brandon just continues to crush it with the data, JJ.

JJ Zachariason (1:56)

Yeah. Lots of cool stuff going on. We're doing more stuff for members too. Where if you're in the Discord and you're part of that, Brandon's been posting some cool match-up charts and such for people to, of course, I'm here to try to help you with your decisions that you're making for your team and guide you in the right direction. In the end, my goal with this business and all the content I do is to make you feel empowered to make the right decisions.

This is just as much about learning as it is just having the answers and going from there. I could just give you guys a rankings list every week and say peace out, but that's not fun. We're trying to have a good time with this stuff.

David Kitchen (2:38)

Yeah, nerdy good time. That's what we like to have. So that's what the Data Dump Show is. We cover all of the stuff that happened on Sunday, and we just talk about the on-off stats, the role changes, the injuries that have happened, and then we leave. It just sets the table for the week. We leave the predictions and the recommendations to JJ on the following shows. But as far as content goes, now we've got shows from Monday through Saturday, if you count the podcast feed. And then on Sundays, we have rankings. And so it's a good time. If you're not already yet a member, consider doing so. And if not, just make sure you're liking our content, you're interacting with it, subscribing it, sharing it. I don't know, anything you can do to help us out. We would appreciate it.

With JJ, with that being said, oh, and thank you. P-Trip says, Socrates with a fresh cut. Yes, I was waiting for someone to notice, they get a fresh cut. And Jeff says, I'm digging the new Data Dump Show. Good. Happy to hear it. All right. That being said, let's get into today's news and notes. Today's Fantasy News. All right, JJ.

We have, I put up here the designated to return list as well, because now we've got buys going on, we have injuries going on, we have people that are designated to return off of IR. We kind of have talked about that before in the look ahead, we have our wire stuff, but right now, designated to return, AJ Brown, Dylan Sampson, Christian Kirk, Omar Cooper, who will play this week for New York. And then I put Eli Stowers on there just because technically-

JJ Zachariason (4:26)

Is there any bias there in putting Eli Stowers?

David Kitchen (4:30)

No, he just technically is designated-

JJ Zachariason (4:32)

He just went to my favorite football team school, school's football team.
