The Show: TreVeyon Henderson's Breakout, Touchdown Reliance, and More

JJ Zachariason (0:00)

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/atlate-roundff. So without further ado, here's this week's episode.

David Kitchen (0:35)

Welcome in, welcome in. JJ, your hair, is there like a little piece of hair?

JJ Zachariason (0:41)

There's just one piece, one piece of hair sticking out of my hat right here. You know, I'm just gonna make it, I'm gonna exaggerate it even more. Now you guys can see it even more.

David Kitchen (0:53)

This is what the podcast listeners miss out on when they're listening to the show on the weekend.

JJ Zachariason (0:59)

Yeah.

David Kitchen (0:59)

That is our hair, our fashion choices.

We'd like to welcome them though, everyone into the show. Again, it's an interactive show. We get down and nerdy on this show, so your feedback is appreciated. We have the Patreon obviously with the weekly rankings, Q&A, chat on the Discord. We have the survey that we've got a lot of discussion about. We'll probably close that up next week sometime. But we've already got a lot of interesting feedback from the survey that we're planning on taking action on, JJ.

JJ Zachariason (1:39)

Yeah. Good feedback. We appreciate you guys filling it out. Also, it's important for people to fill it out who consume different types of content with Late-Round. I don't expect everybody to consume everything. I know there are some unicorns out there that do and we love you for it. But realistically, if you only listen to the podcast sometimes, it's like why only sometimes? Just give us that feedback and we would love to understand why. So we appreciate those who have submitted that feedback.

David Kitchen (2:08)

Yeah. We actually have a lot more responses than I thought we'd get. Because sometimes you said, I'm guilty of not filling out surveys unless I really am interested. Because it's like, fill out this survey for a $25 gift. But it's like, again, it's stuff that I use, but I'm not invested in. I don't care that much. So maybe that's why we have so many survey responses. All right. Matthew says, you guys are looking fresh to death as usual.

JJ Zachariason (2:44)

Look, I showered literally 10 minutes ago I got out because I was on the Peloton right before this because I had stuff going on this morning. But I will say, my brain is a lot fresher than last week's show. Last week, I went into it and I'm like, I don't know if this show is going to be good.

I've got some energy today, or at least more energy than last week.

David Kitchen (3:05)

Well, good. We need that energy. Did you have energy last night, JJ?

JJ Zachariason (3:12)

Well, I think that's a good segue for what we're about to talk about.

David Kitchen (3:18)

It is. Let me get it pulled up. Sorry. Today's fantasy news.

Wow.

JJ Zachariason (3:31)

What a great segue that was. What a great transition.

David Kitchen (3:37)

I thought you were going to give me something.

JJ Zachariason (3:39)

I'll tell you what. People heard the pause on today's Mailbag episode, and now people are going to be listening on the podcast feed. They'll be like, wait, did my podcast feed break? What's going on?

David Kitchen (3:48)

Do people understand? I don't think I understood the pause until I started working here.

JJ Zachariason (3:53)

Oh, yeah. I only do it for Mailbag.

David Kitchen (3:55)

Where the Mailbag is when it's something different.

JJ Zachariason (3:58)

When I mess with people a little bit. Because the Mailbag is the end of week episode, we're answering some different stuff. It's just the abstract podcast of the week and episode of the week. Everything else is very formalized and very formatted the same way. The Mailbag can go in a lot of different directions. Every week, I try to do a little bit something different. We've had an AI voice, we've had my daughter's voice, we've had long pauses, we've had short pauses, we've had whispers. It's fun. It's just a little fun little little Easter egg.

David Kitchen (4:27)

Yeah. Okay.

JJ Zachariason (4:28)

All right.

David Kitchen (4:28)

Well, let's talk about last night then. Take me through the three touchdowns by TreVeyon Henderson, how you were feeling. And I also want to ask this question, JJ.

JJ Zachariason (4:43)

Okay.

David Kitchen (4:44)

Have you learned anything? Have you learned anything as an analyst? Or maybe has it reinforced any beliefs that you have had?
