| 0:14.6 | What's up, everyone? |
| 0:17.0 | It's J.J. Zacharisen. |
| 0:18.4 | In this episode 1072 of the late round fantasy football podcast, |
| 0:23.0 | thanks for tuning in. Last week's Sleeper Show wasn't that terrible. It was honestly the best |
| 0:27.7 | quarterback week of the season. In terms of standard fantasy points, Brock Purdy had 26, |
| 0:33.0 | Jackson Dart 22, Trevor Lawrence 44, C.J. Stroud 23, and J.J. McCarthy 24. Even Aaron Rogers |

| 1:32.1 | Patreon, but for this show, this is the last one. Let's end things on a high note. |
