You're about to listen to The Late-Round Fantasy Football Show, which originally aired yesterday on YouTube. If you'd like to catch it live, you can find it on The Late-Round Fantasy Football YouTube channel at 1 p.m. Eastern every Friday during this 2025 season. That's on youtube.com/atlateroundff. So without further ado, here's this week's episode.

Welcome in, welcome in, David Kitchen here, the COO, JJ's number one, with JJ JJ. I just want you to let people know how you are. Right now, it's one o'clock Eastern time. How was your Friday, Ben? Just a stroll in the park?

JJ Zachariason (0:53)

So, last week was your panic week.

David Kitchen (0:57)

Yeah.

JJ Zachariason (0:57)

Right before the show. You were a little bit flustered to start the show. That's me this week. I mean, we had, so just for some behind the scenes looks here, Rich Ryan, who does Becoming a Best Ball Bro with me, so you guys know him from that. Rich Ryan does a lot of audio stuff, and he's the one who edits all of the long form audio, except for this show, that we do in the feed, which is Becoming a Best Ball Bro and Late-Round Perspectives. So, he's the one that does all the editing for those shows.

So, yesterday, I interviewed Scott Pianowski, who is on the show, it's about to, I guess it just launched, so it'll hit your podcast feeds in a second. But I talked to Scott Pianowski of Yahoo Sports, and he and I had a great conversation, including a five to six minute long conversation about Travis Hunter. And lo and behold, after that conversation happened, and we recorded it, he was put on the injury report. But there were some reports yesterday that was like, it seemed to happen after Wednesday, and then he was limited on Thursday. So I'm like, okay, maybe this isn't that serious. And then this morning happens, and Travis Hunter gets placed on IR, which we'll get to in a second. And I didn't even think about it, but Rich messaged me, and he goes, hey, do you want to remove the Travis Hunter portion of Late-Round Perspectives? And I'm like, yeah, we should probably do that. So if there's a little bit of jumpiness or whatever, I mean, Rich is a great editor, so I'm sure it'll sound really great. But if there's some like weird Travis Hunter, you know, removal stuff going on with Late-Round Perspectives and the audio, that's why. But yeah, I mean, it's just been a wild day. Not only that, but it's the end of the month. And at the end of every month, beginning of the next month, I post my dynasty rankings updates. And I was doing that on Patreon and I was literally about to post. And then the Travis Hunter news dropped, which does impact his dynasty ranking, you know, like it's not going to be like dramatic because obviously he's a rookie and, and there's a long career ahead hopefully. But, you know, that changed. Parker Washington got a little bit of a bump, you know, in those rankings. So it's just been an absolute mess this morning for me. And then all the while it's Halloween and my, my son's daycare, who has, they have a parade. They decide to make it at 3 p.m., which is right, way too early. Like you're, you're a, you're a daycare. You're a, you're a preschool.

David Kitchen (3:14)

Yeah. Your, your service is to help working parents.

JJ Zachariason (3:18)

That's right. That's the entire point. Like that's why it's a great place. And we love it to death and we are, our daughter went there. We're going to be there for like 10 years in total. We love it. We love it to death, but 3 p.m., 3 p.m. So now we got to take Avery out of school, look like a half hour early, pick her up from school, go. And I got to do that basically right after this show. So it's a, it's a complete madness of a day. I can't wait to just walk around trick or treating tonight. Cause it's going to be way more relaxing than what's gone on today.

David Kitchen (3:49)

So you have your outfit.

JJ Zachariason (3:52)

Yeah, I'm going to be, we're Moana characters. I'm going to be, I'm going to be Heihei. That's why I'm wearing this color shirt. Cause I'll be wearing this shirt with the, with the Heihei costume.

David Kitchen (4:02)

Oh man. This is like the first year that we have not really been like that into like the dressing up. So it was like last second, costumes, kids are separated this time, you know, as they grow up sometimes, like when they're little, they all can be in one. Now they've got their all separate friend groups. So it's like it's big logistics nightmare, but we don't have time to talk about that. We do want to thank our sponsor DraftKings for sponsoring. So listen, DraftKings has been like, they've been good to us.
