  • Get your fantasy football nerd on!

    JJ’s stuff is SUPER informative! It’s a bit over my head, but his tier breakdowns are VERY helpful on draft day. Thanks JJ.

  • Unique Approach

    In a world of endless content, I appreciate Late-Round being different. They make decisions based on providing the best content not making the most money. Even NFL GMs don’t know if a player will be good or not. The best basketball mind in history, Michael Jordan, sucked at player evaluation as an owner. Analytics is the only true way to get an edge. It makes it fun too.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

1136: Mailbag - Kyren Williams' Targets, X Receivers, and More
Q: Seems like the young wide receivers you mentioned—Marvin Harrison Jr., Rome Odunze, Brian Thomas Jr.—are playing the X and facing questions about deployment. Are their routes downfield or more Slot/ISO, and how does that affect fantasy upside?
All three are running downfield routes more often than not, but their deployment varies; Harrison is often downfield but not exclusively, Odunze and Thomas show mixed usage. Their fantasy upside depends on overall target share and how their teams deploy routes, not just the depth of target.
1136: Mailbag - Kyren Williams' Targets, X Receivers, and More
Q: How do you view Mackay Lemon and Jordan Tyson as upside stashes for the rest of the season?
Mackay Lemon is a solid stash, but Jordan Tyson presents higher upside in the Saints' offense due to a favorable offensive environment; the upside hinges on workload and injury risk, so stash with a longer horizon.
1132: Mailbag - Malik Nabers' Outlook, Guillotine Bidding, and More
Q: @fantasyguym asks whether Week 1 performances are stickier than Week 1 duds and how to assess predictive value across top performers.
Week 1 boom performances aren't consistently predictive of end-of-season success; duds can reveal more about volume and opportunity, while top performers in Week 1 may simply have had one-off big plays; focus on volume and target shares for long-term projection.
1132: Mailbag - Malik Nabers' Outlook, Guillotine Bidding, and More
Q: Hungry Stoic asks for general fab bidding rules for guillotine leagues, factoring league size and settings beyond blanket advice.
Emphasizes tailoring bids to league size, scoring, bench size, and current roster status; in large guillotine leagues, spend more on potentially pivotal players but avoid over-committing early if your roster is solid, since the weekly probability of advancement changes as playoffs approach.
1132: Mailbag - Malik Nabers' Outlook, Guillotine Bidding, and More
Q: Paul asks about Drake May after two weeks and which quarterbacks to target on waivers (Goff, Young, Baker, Stroud, Love).
The takeaway is cautious optimism; May has schedule-adjusted upside but consistency concerns remain; among targets, Goff is ranked highest rest-of-season due to steadier production and schedule, with a caveat to monitor matchup-driven volatility.
