There's a bunch. They're entertaining. They're informative. They're worth the listen. So check them out. All right. Let's bring JJ in. He's the editor-in-chief at Fandul and Numberfire. He's the author of the late-round quarterback, which makes him the perfect guest for today's show. You can hear him on the late-round podcast, and you can follow them on Twitter at Late-Round QV. JJ, welcome back to the show, man. Thanks for being here. Thanks for having me. I appreciate the kind words. Means a lot, man. Well, I'm glad that you could take some time away from eating honey crisp apples to join us today. Yeah, look, look, by the way, by the way, that tweet that I sent earlier today, I was finishing up a Honey Crisp Apple and Apple and I'm like, I got to let this word the world know that this is the absolute superior apple compared to any other apples.

1:51.2

It's funny because when I saw it, I was like, man, is he right? I went, this is such a terrible story to tell off the top of the podcast, but my wife and I went apple picking a few years back and I'd'd never had an Honey Crisp Apple before. And I had it. And I was like, that's it. I can

2:04.6

only have these apples moving forward. That's right. And like, I don't always have them on hand. And then, like, I have some right now. And I'm just like, why would I ever eat a different kind of Apple. This is just so good. Yeah. I mean, they're, they're expensive in the world of apples,

2:17.6

but you pay up to get, you're getting a good product for sure. good. Yeah, I mean, they're, they're expensive in the world of apples,

2:50.9

but you pay up to get, you're getting a good product for sure. Sure. Yeah. It's like the Christian McCaffrey of apples. There you go. Well, truth be told, normally we talk about some news off the top, and we're recording this on Thursday afternoon at 2 p.m. It's going to come out Friday morning. so if any big opt-outs come down right at the deadline, which is 4 p.m. on Thursday, we're not going to be able to talk about them here. But so far, we've only had really, Damien Williams was kind of the only really big one. We haven't had any league altering opt-outs. There's a few big-name defensive players, a bunch of offensive linemen,

a ton of Patriots for sure. But fantasy-wise, it's been a lot of like Devin Funchus and Albert Wilson, Alan Hearns, those type of guys. So nobody too problematic for fantasy. Not that

3:01.9

fantasy is the most important part of those decisions because it's definitely not. But I just

3:06.1

want to give everybody a heads up because if something comes down last minute,

3:09.3

we're not going to talk about it today.

3:11.0

But any big names that come down, I'll be covered on on the score.

3:14.5

You can check out my Twitter.
