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 off-season, 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.

Welcome in, welcome in to Late-Round Fantasy Football Show, sponsored by DraftKings. David Kitchen here alongside JJ Zachariason. JJ, how are you?

**JJ Zachariason** (0:43)
I'm kinda everywhere. Had a little camera trouble before we hopped on, then I realized I had to go to the bathroom real quick so that you guys didn't get a hurried version of me throughout the show. Now I realize I forgot to turn my fan on, so I'm gonna be sweating by the end of this, but fortunately it's not too hot.

**David Kitchen** (0:58)
Hey, go turn it on, go turn it on, and I'll give some promo.

**JJ Zachariason** (1:01)
The last time I got, look, the last time midstream that I got up to do something was last summer on a best ball stream.
Do you remember this? I got up.

**David Kitchen** (1:12)
I remember it, yeah.

**JJ Zachariason** (1:13)
To blow my nose, okay? I didn't know that people could hear it, and then I sounded like an elephant in my bathroom. Because my bathroom is right behind this wall. I have a bathroom in my office, and I came back, but I also, when I got up, I was wearing bright red shorts, and so everyone just made fun of that too. So you know what?
I'm not going to say he's not wearing pants, boxers, so you know what? Okay, look, I'm going to do it. You carry the chair for a second.

**David Kitchen** (1:48)
That's a benefit of catching the show live, is that you never know what's going to happen. I do want to say big news, because like JJ's room, we've got some big fans out there, and you can come to lateround.com to get a whole new experience. We rolled this out last week, a week ago, and things are going well, lots of good stuff, lots of good feedback. We're still continuing to make some changes. I'm still doing customer service, customer support, emails.
I think I have like 20 emails that I still have to get to. I will get to them today, I promise, I promise. So JJ, how are you feeling about the new site?

**JJ Zachariason** (2:39)
I love the new site.
I know that you're working your butt off right now with all the migration and the changes that are going on. It's just the nature of, we knew this going in, that there's going to be a lot of stuff that were happening from a customer service standpoint.
I'm excited because the episode that I did yesterday on Market Score is something that I think is a really good taste of what we're trying to do more with the site. I can't promise how it's going to be displayed or what it's going to look like exactly, but the plan in general is for some of these metrics to be able to be seen in the Members Hub. This is not like I said last week, this is not a situation where we're trying to become a data provider or we're trying to chart things or do anything like that. That's not the case at all. But what we are trying to do is give you guys some proprietary metrics that we think can help with your fantasy drafts, with your in-season stuff, all that good stuff. And Brennan Gadula is working diligently on some of these as well. So I'm very excited about what's to come. Like I said last week, I won't talk about it for 12 minutes because there were some people who...

**David Kitchen** (3:51)
Yeah. Do you want to just real briefly talk about Market Score?
If someone missed the episode on Tuesday?

**JJ Zachariason** (4:01)
Yeah. I mean, look, so Market Score is something that I've kind of had in my mind for some time now. I kind of alluded to that on the episode. But essentially, I've been doing Zap Scores for a while now where, if you really think about it, Zap Score is taking Draft Capital out of baseline and telling you kind of when to pivot off of Draft Capital. Now, you get a score for a player that's scaled from to 100 But there is something like Draft Capital Delta, for instance, which looks at a player's overall score. It looks at his Draft Capital and says, oh, the model likes this guy more or less than what Draft Capital is saying. The difference with Draft Capital and what's... So basically, I said to myself, let's try to do this same thing, but instead of Draft Capital, we're looking at average draft position for season longleaves. Now, I think the difference between average draft position and Draft Capital is that average draft position is just for that one singular season. It's more intuitive to say, I know how many, to understand expected fantasy points based on that ADP versus expected fantasy points based on that Draft Capital, because Draft Capital, since we're using it for Dynasty, is for three years, for five years. How are we measuring what that Draft Capital expectation would be? Whereas with ADP, you can easily do some regression analysis and find what you would expect a player to score at a certain overall ADP.
