What's up everyone it's JJ Zacharyson, the editor-in-chief over at numberfire.com and

this is episode 137 of the late round podcast, one of the many shows that are part of

We often make things sound easier than they actually are in fantasy football.

It's easy to note that a few wide receivers are running backs that are drafted late

each year in fantasy drafts end up breaking out.

But why should you assume that you're going to be that fortunate league owner to land

that breakout player?

You shouldn't, you shouldn't act as though you're a lock to hit on some low probability

event.

Instead you might want to look at that low probability event and ask yourself how you

can raise the chances of making that event happen in your favor.

The US may not be playing in the world cup but that doesn't mean that you have to ride

the bench.
