We'll be live every Friday at 1 PM Eastern. Without further ado, here's this week's episode.

David Kitchen (0:30)

Welcome in, welcome in to The Late-Round Fantasy Football Show. David Kitchen here alongside the boss man, my quant, the guy that writes my checks every week, JJ Zachariason.

JJ Zachariason (0:45)

Every other week, to be clear.

David Kitchen (0:47)

Every other week.

JJ Zachariason (0:49)

We're an every other week kind of company. What's going on? Yeah, I'm good. It was a weird game last night. It was one of those games, no one cares about this, but it was one of those games where it went really well for my individual teams, like my fantasy teams. Where I have not a ton of Skattebo, but I have them in the Apex League, for instance, which is one of my favorite leagues that I play in. I'm not doing too hot in that league this year.

But I need wins, have them there, didn't face him anywhere. Didn't face Skattebo in any of my leagues. I'm in a lot of leagues.

I had some Chigga Conquo, that was a little bit frustrating. But there wasn't any and I had a lot of Stefan Diggs, he got that touchdown at the end, which is great. So it was one of those games where like, and I had some Isaiah Likely. So it was one of those games where like things came together for me, but it was kind of a weird game overall. It wasn't the most fantasy friendly for the most part. I don't know, it was just a strange game. We'll break it down once we get into today's news and such, but I'm good overall. I'm feeling good about week 10

David Kitchen (1:56)

So, and both, I'm into like eliminator chop leagues, whatever, and they have been consuming me because I'm playing this giant game of chicken where I don't spend much money and I'm like on the chopping block pretty much every week. And so the way that it has gone for the past three weeks is, I cheer on Thursday nights for no fantasy points. And I know that's weird. I'm like the antithesis of a fantasy manager, but I want someone to be on the chopping block with me. I want someone to be miserable with me. And so we didn't quite get there last night, but that's okay. I'm happy for those that had all the fantasy points. We'll talk about that in a second like he talked about. Before the season started, we had a counter and it was like, I don't know, there's a ton of days until Thanksgiving.

Now we're only at 13

JJ Zachariason (2:44)

That is crazy. Yeah.

We have next week is a full slate of content and then the week after that is Thanksgiving week. We just do the Monday to Wednesday shows. So there's no mailbag, no perspectives and no Late-Round show that week.

David Kitchen (2:57)

Yeah. 93 days until Super Bowl. And that will get here before we know it as well.

But as far as stuff we have going on, lateround.com, sign up for the newsletter. lateround.com, you can also go and become a member and join us in the Discord. And aside from that, we also have tons of free content, including today's perspectives episode with Peter Oversett, who is my co-host on the Swolecast and who we jokingly talk about being a part of my tree, like I found him and like I'm so proud of him. But I was listening for that founder story, you know, and I didn't hear it, JJ.

JJ Zachariason (3:42)

Yeah, he definitely did not credit you for any of that.

David Kitchen (3:46)

There were no flowers or anything like that. So I will be talking with Peter, but it's a good episode, the one as much as I've heard of it so far. And I encourage everybody to go listen to that. Also listen to the Mailbag episode, because there's a good little, people are saying rant, we say passionate answer on this show.

JJ Zachariason (4:04)

I like, if you want to call it a rant, you can call it a rant.

You guys don't want your fantasy analyst to not care. You don't want, like if I didn't care, it'd be a really boring show. I care, I want to be right, I want to give you good advice, and I want to talk about the fun stuff that we talk about with data and analytics and stuff with fantasy football.
