This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed human.

This is the late round podcast with your host, J.J. Zacharisa.

What's up, everyone?

It's J.J. Zacharisen.

In this episode 1081 of the Late Round Fantasy Football

podcast, thanks for tuning in.

Before getting to the topic today, I just want to set another reminder that the Late Round

Prospect Guide is currently available for pre-order.

This year's guide lets you know everything that goes into the Zapp models, it's got profiles

for every running back wide receiver and tight end going to the NFL combine. And then there's also the year two profiles.

I have my year two model for second year NFL players. And I've got a little over 30 profiles

for running back some wide receivers there too. So this thing is a beast. And you can pre-order

it for 1499. That's going to go up to

1999 when the guide launches in mid-March. Just head to late round.com to learn more.

Today's an episode that I do each year as sort of an unofficial kickoff to my prospecting work.

For those who are unfamiliar, I have a prospect model or models depending on

how you want to frame it. That's what I just talked about at the top. I've worked on them for years,

and I try to improve them every year with new data and new ways of calculating that data.

I used to be pretty bad at modeling. Like, the first couple of iterations weren't that great in hindsight, but I've worked really

hard over the last seven or eight years to get these models to a place where I'm confident

in these results.
