The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast

Fantasy Football

Fantasy football doesn't have to feel so luck-driven. The award-winning Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast is a fantasy football show that helps you win through bite-sized, analytically-driven episodes. Instead of just drafting from a list of players and crossing your fingers with the hopes that those players produce, host JJ Zachariason provides a process to help you find breakout candidates, sleepers, busts and more. The approach is logical. It's strategic. And it wins. read less

Our Editor's Take

JJ Zachariason wants everyone to win, at least when it comes to Fantasy Football. In The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast, the host offers advice and predictions. This helps his listeners increase their chances of picking a winning team. The host's predictions aren't only luck. They're based on strategy and analytics.

The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast has critical info. The show informs listeners each week of the season about trends, transactions, sleepers, and breakout players. Instead of listing the league's rankings, Zachariason wants to educate his audience. His goal is to teach audiences the same strategies that have helped him to win big in the past. This includes logical thinking and considering statistics. This podcast is more than reports and numbers. It offers insight on football analysis to help listeners better understand the game. This helps them choose more effective Fantasy Football teams.

Zachariason first became passionate about fantasy football in the 2000s. His interest grew so much he wrote an eBook on the topic back in 2012 entitled The Late-Round Quarterback. The book gained enough traction for Zachariason to get noticed by the analytics website numberFire. Here, the fantasy analyst spent more than six years creating content as editor-in-chief. The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast continues his work.

Beyond the podcast, fans can also sign up for exclusive insights and resources online. This includes an annual prospects guide. With this, fantasy fans can educate themselves on how to evaluate prospects. It also contains player statistics, rookie rankings, and more. Listeners can use this information to make the most out of each seasonal draft. Each podcast episode usually runs between 10 and 20 minutes.
