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 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 hatless JJ Zachariason. JJ, how are you?

JJ Zachariason (0:41)

I'm good. So for the audio listeners who listen in the podcast feed, now on Saturdays, Ptrip in chat is giving odds on whether or not I wear a hat on the stream. So today's no hat odds were minus 220 So I'm not wearing a hat. You're not getting that good of a payout though, if you bet that side.

David Kitchen (1:01)

Yeah.

All right, JJ, we are two games in, and we still have so much more left to go. So as far as like your process, this is our sixth show of the week. Sixth episode of the week.

JJ Zachariason (1:19)

Yes.

David Kitchen (1:19)

And so we have a lot going on. And then you are also updating the rankings more frequently now.

JJ Zachariason (1:28)

Yes. Yes. I am updating a lot more frequently because we have the website.

Is my connection bad right now? Is that what people are saying?

David Kitchen (1:39)

You sound fine.

JJ Zachariason (1:40)

Yeah. It seems fine, right?

David Kitchen (1:41)

Yeah.

JJ Zachariason (1:42)

Yeah. Come on, P-Trip. You can't be doing that in a live show, throwing that out there that there was a Wi-Fi issue or something.

But yeah, anyway, the website, the way things are set up right now, I can update rankings a lot quicker.

We're getting those out super fast. I was able to update them already this morning. This is Friday, post-Thursday Night Football. So yeah, at the beginning of every season, it's always like a learning curve. You got to get used to your new schedule and such. And I think that this week has gone pretty well, all things considered. It's a short week too because of Labor Day. I work on Labor Day every year, but it's nice to get in a rhythm, and this is a rhythm that will be in for the next 16 weeks.

David Kitchen (2:34)

Yeah, we've got all of our rankings, our members Q&A, our Discord chats happening. You can get there, lateround.com, and purchase the Insider or All Access package.

So as far as the stuff we have going on, Sundays will be popping in the chat. It's already been popping in the Discord chat, but it'll be popping even more Sunday mornings. So make sure that if you're a member, you are in the Discord or you're just looking at the rankings, we have time stamps up for those. So it should be fun. But JJ, we can't...

JJ Zachariason (3:09)

And next week, rest of season rankings start.

David Kitchen (3:11)

Yeah, next week.

JJ Zachariason (3:13)

Yes, yes.

David Kitchen (3:14)

So...

JJ Zachariason (3:15)

Had you already said that? Was I...

David Kitchen (3:17)

Okay. No, you're good.

JJ Zachariason (3:20)

It's a great start to the week one episode that we have going on here.

David Kitchen (3:24)

If I've discovered anything, it's like there's, I told you this earlier, it's this mix between like the seasons over or the pre-seasons over and the real season is about to begin. So I'm like sandwiched between still like customer service stuff and answering emails, helping people on board and also looking forward to this upcoming week. I'm ready to get into a routine. JJ, I can't wait. And I'm also ready to get in today's into today's news and notes.

Today's fantasy news. All right. Lots of talk about today. Two games in last year, we hadn't had the Friday game. I think that was the Brazil game yet.

So two games in JJ. Want to get some reactions from you and let's start. Start with last night and then we'll go to the Thursday night or the Wednesday night game. Let's start with last night and let's start with the Rams tight ends because you were out there paddling on the internet streets this morning and last night with some trolls.

JJ Zachariason (4:28)

Yeah, a lot of people were coming at me. This is just the way that it works during football season. I'm not complaining. It's fun. If I'm responding to people, I'm not upset. I promise it's just me having fun. That's all this is. So if you guys see me on Twitter, you don't need to say, don't respond to the troll. I'm fine.
