Welcome in, welcome in. It's The Late-Round Fantasy Football Show. David Kitchen here, alongside JJ Zachariason. JJ, how are you?

**JJ Zachariason** (0:40)
I'm good, I realize I never tweeted this out today. So I'm, do you wanna do some filler?

**David Kitchen** (0:45)
Yeah.

**JJ Zachariason** (0:46)
What we got going on in your life right now?

**David Kitchen** (0:47)
Yeah, I'll do some filler. As you're tweeting that out, as you are, you know, getting that banger graphic out there for everyone to see, so that I did not waste my time last night. It's great.

**JJ Zachariason** (1:00)
It's one of the best thumbs that we've had, if not the best thumbnail that we've had on the YouTube channel.

**David Kitchen** (1:33)
Love Smith. So, appreciate you all and your comments and just your feedback for what we're doing here. It is greatly appreciated. Also, we got the late-round draft or the late-round prospect guide out now. So, some of you are in your rookie drafts. You're about to start your rookie drafts.
JJ and I, we have our league that we're in and it's going really slow.

**JJ Zachariason** (2:00)
Yeah. I mean, I'm most happy I have the 104 in that league and my team. It was an orphan that I took over and last year, I was really mad at some of the diversification choices that I made in that draft, but we'll get past that. Because I'm in a lot of dynasty leagues and I had a lot of Harold Fanon. And I said, you know what? I haven't drafted Mason Taylor yet.
And so I just did it in that league. And that's the league that you probably don't want to do that in because it's a pretty tight and heavy league. But anyway, I then, so I got Jordan Tyson in that one at 104 I took over an orphan a few years ago and I've been trying to rebuild it a little bit. It's not a bad team from a value perspective. It's probably like middle of the road within that league right now.

**David Kitchen** (2:42)
Yeah.

**JJ Zachariason** (2:43)
And I was just hoping that like, I would, I don't know.
The 201 came around that I had traded for a while ago. And I was thinking like, hopefully something falls. But then I got Ty Simpson just because I tried to put it on the block.

**David Kitchen** (2:57)
Got it.

**JJ Zachariason** (2:58)
Got made fun of.

**David Kitchen** (2:59)
And I was hoping that he would make, I was going to draft him.

**JJ Zachariason** (3:02)
I was fine with it in that kind of format. We're like, we're not touching it all season. It's a best ball league that doesn't get that much action. So why not just hold on to that asset?

**David Kitchen** (3:11)
I have been, I'm also in a rebuild, but it kind of got thrown into a contender after the Puka pick. And my picks, my draft picks have just been going crazy. Like, I don't have many bad players. Like, you know, it's a, this is a best ball dynasty league too. But you know, it's a decent team when like you have trouble, like coming up with players to cut all your draft spots. So I'm feeling good about it.
However, guys like Malik Willis, I dropped him a couple of years ago and now he's, you know, he went in the 11th overall pick and I could use him.

**JJ Zachariason** (3:53)
So right now, according to Dynasty Daddy, front of the show, dynastydaddy.com, the power rankings in terms of just overall value of the team, Leone is in first right now from a value perspective because he's been tanking for about six years in that league.

**David Kitchen** (4:07)
He has literally been tanking for six years. That's not a bit.
