By now, we've done a heck of a lot of drafts, mock and otherwise. So we have some personal anecdotes about the players *we* have tended to draft in the later rounds. That'll be today's discussion: where we think the soft spots are in the double-digit rounds of fantasy football drafts in 2025. We'll list QBs, RBs and WRs we love taking late. Also: fallout from the Brian Robinson trade, the Dolphins mess at running back, and what we're doing with the holdout guys. Guest: J.J. Zachariason of LateRound.com.

Super-Deep Sleepers Part 1
Don't Draft These Players! Okay, well, if you're in a very deep league, or you're thinking about dynasty, maybe you can draft these players. But the Super-Deep Sleeper list isn't typically meant for standard rosters, or 12-team leagues. Instead, our annual list of deep names is intended to read tea leaves: where might these younger players fit as the NFL season progresses? We'll do our best to come up with a fun list of kids you can track and potentially add for fantasy football in 2025. Also: updated ranks on Terry McLaurin, Brian Robinson, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Najee Harris & more!

Safe Players To Draft In 2025
Sometimes unsexy is good! On today's podcast, we'll discuss the merits of drafting *safe* players. If your draft strategies sometimes involve selecting risky players in early rounds -- and they should! -- it can make sense to find some high-floor players in the early/middle rounds who can present a smoother ride. We'll select one safe player per round, and discuss! Also: Anthony Richardson gets benched and embarrasses his *2024* ranks, Brian Robinson will no longer be a Commander, and we'll read a DeVonta Smith Almanac profile. Guest: Scott Pianowski of Yahoo!

Previewing The Rookies For 2025
Rookies usually get drafted too high for fantasy football. But there are absolutely exceptions to this rule. *A few* 2025 rookies will probably make a big splash and potential swing leagues. Can we identify them? Well, maybe *we* can't, but often Matt Waldman can. We'll dig into the big rookie names who are getting drafted to be fantasy starters, and the potential values among rookies who are going in later rounds. Plus we'll do a snarkbag, a great listener mixtape, and update Terry McLaurin and Brian Robinson. Guest: Matt Waldman of FootballGuys.com and the Rookie Scouting Portfolio.
