| 0:00.0 | This is an I-Heart podcast. |
| 0:02.5 | This is the late round podcast with your host, J.J. Zacharisa. |
| 0:15.7 | What's up, everyone? It's J.J. Zacharisen. |
| 0:18.4 | In this episode 1057 of the Late Round Fantasy Football podcast, thanks for tuning in. |
| 0:25.1 | As the saying goes, all good things must come to an end. |
| 0:28.3 | And my hot streak with this Sleepers episode mostly ended in week 11, mostly. |
| 0:33.3 | It actually wasn't like a horrific week, but there were some spots that were pretty bad. Like at quarterback. It was easily the worst quarterback week of the season. Joe Flacco, J.J. McCarthy, Aaron Rogers, and Tuatung Vialoa were all pretty bad. I did talk about Jacoby Brissette. That was good. And Marcus Mariotta was at least usable. But it was a rough week at quarterback. Running back was actually okay. I'd actually call it pretty good. The biggest miss was Woody Marks, who couldn't take advantage of a good matchup and a good workload. But I did talk about Bam Knight, Sean Tucker went off, Chris Rodriguez was fine, Emmanuel Wilson, he got more work too. That was pretty lucky, though. And then Jolil |
| 1:11.2 | McLaughlin found the end zone. Also kind of lucky. And then at wide receiver, it was just |
| 1:16.1 | fine this past week. Wando Robinson and Quentin Johnston were really bad calls in that top tier. |
| 1:21.4 | Tess Johnson didn't do a thing. But I did call out Trey Tucker, Christian Watson, Jaden Higgins |
| 1:26.6 | almost scored double-digit |
| 1:27.5 | PPR points, Matt Collins was at 10.4, and then Greg Dorch and Michael Wilson absolutely crushed |
| 1:33.4 | it. Tide-end, very rough. None of the tight-end streamers scored more than Zach Ertz's 8.2 |
| 1:40.4 | PPR points, and Ertz was a top-tier player. He wasn't even much of a streamer. |
| 1:45.7 | And in the defensive streamers, they weren't very good either. So basically, the streaming |
| 1:49.9 | positions, they were terrible last week. But at least running back and wide receiver was |
| 1:54.0 | decent. Overall was like a 3 to 4 out of 10 kind of week. Before, I'd been hitting like 8s and |
| 2:00.7 | 9s consistently. I'm hoping I like eights and nines consistently. |
| 2:02.3 | I'm hoping I can bounce back here in week 12. |
| 2:06.7 | We'll start with the tier of players who are rostered in 50 to 80% of Yahoo |
| 2:10.4 | leagues and we'll kick things off with a couple of quarterbacks. |
| 2:13.4 | One of them is Brock Purdy. |
