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.

Welcome in, welcome in to The Late-Round Fantasy Football Show, sponsored by DraftKings. David Kitchen here with my quant, my goat, my boss, my friend, JJ Zachariason.
JJ, how are you doing eight days away from a season starting?

**JJ Zachariason** (0:48)
Technically seven, right? Because we get a Wednesday game next week.

**David Kitchen** (0:52)
Yeah.

**JJ Zachariason** (0:52)
Technically. I know that you're on an East Coast time, so it's a little bit different.
You guys count things differently and you're way far behind where we are, but technically a week, right? Until things go.

**David Kitchen** (1:04)
Yeah, a week. Yeah, it is. Yeah.

**JJ Zachariason** (1:07)
Crazy. Crazy.

**David Kitchen** (1:08)
I'll update it. But are you doing okay with a week left until the season starts? It's the latest possible start of the NFL season with the way the calendar falls.

**JJ Zachariason** (1:17)
Yeah, I'm all right. I got a every Labor Day, we do a little lake weekend with my wife and her family. So we got that going this weekend. I got one more draft guide update that we're doing for Friday, and then the draft guide updates, unless something like very, very dramatic happens. I don't know.
I feel like it's the calm before the storm, but I'm excited.

**David Kitchen** (1:41)
You're ready.
Yeah, we have the draft guide that you can still purchase at lateraound.com. Also, we're getting into when the season starts, we're going to have some changes. Matt asked, do you get the live show during the season as well? Friday, 1 p.m. Eastern, bookmark your calendars. That will be the time of this show live on YouTube during the season. Yeah, during the season. So I mean, it starts next week.

**JJ Zachariason** (2:15)
It starts next week. So this is our last Wednesday show until next week is the Friday show. And that show is going to be the same content that we did last year.
Or I go over some sleepers, players I'm higher and lower on versus expert consensus rankings. We still do news. We do today's data. But the main event changes into, you know, the standard rankings and shit, like where I'm where my stuff is higher than consensus. And then also sleepers. I was going to say shift there. I think I stopped myself in the middle of the sentence. But just to be clear to the kids out there, I was going to say shift.

**David Kitchen** (2:53)
And to the audio listeners, that will be dropped in your podcast feed on Saturdays going forward. But during the season also, we will have a lot of stuff up for our members. lateround.com, become an insider member or an all access member and join us. We'll have weekly Q and A's, we'll have our weekly rankings, we'll have rest of season rankings, we'll have a Discord chat, all the good stuff going on there, JJ.
So excited about that. Also want to give a shout out to our sponsor DraftKings. We have seven days left. The Millie is filling up. You just finished your 150th, which is the final, the max entries that you can do in the DraftKings Millionaire Maker. But there's still time for people to enter promo code Late-Round. You can get the draft one, get one promotion that they have going on. Huge prize pool, but they also have $3 prizes, $5 prizes. So just a good way, if you've already done your draft, you just get in a few extra sweats for this upcoming season. JJ, are you going to be doing any more best ball drafts now that you're done with the 150?

**JJ Zachariason** (4:09)
Yeah. I have some slows going on. I'll try to enter some of the other ones that are out there. But I focus a lot more on season long stuff. I've got a draft tomorrow night. I think I'm taking tonight off, which is going to be nice because I haven't been able to do that really recently. It's basically like every night there seems to be something.
So yeah, I mean, I'm like a seven and a half out of 10 happy that I was able to get the portfolio that I did in best ball this year. You can listen to what is in that portfolio by listening to the most recent Becoming a Best Ball Bro episode.
