Speed Scores for the running backs who ran their 40s. These are official times via NFL.com. Mike Washington has the second-highest Speed Score in the ZAP Model database, which goes back to 2011. Keith Marshall only beat him by 0.05.

That unofficial 4.33 for Mike Washington = 126.88 Speed Score. That's just behind Keith Marshall (126.93) for the best in the ZAP Model database. (Again, it's not official)

Loved chatting with @dynogametheory.bsky.social on today's Late-Round Perspectives episode. Scott gives his take on where dynasty managers go wrong, and we talk a whole lot about the RBs and WRs in this year's class. Listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t... Watch: www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8zO...

Now the Arian Smith pick makes sense bsky.app/profile/awfu...

The ZAP Model database includes all running backs who were either at the NFL Combine or drafted since 2011. From 2011 through 2023, the model had 11 running backs who were 24 years or older at the time of their draft. In 2024, 2025, and (so far) 2026, we've had 15.

New Late-Round Podcast episode: I look at the production profiles for the running backs invited to this year's NFL Combine to see if any of them produced like studs in college. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

What do we think @davidkitchenbs.bsky.social said to get TMac to laugh?

I talk about a handful of dynasty sell candidates -- some probably surprising ones -- on today's episode of The Late-Round Podcast. open.spotify.com/episode/7HR4...

Forgot to post this today, but we did Part 2 of the Super Bowl preview from Radio Row, and then we had some fun conversations with Tetairoa McMillan and Kendrick Bourne. Watch: m.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq7Q... Listen: open.spotify.com/episode/0pPW...

The fantasy nerds here in San Francisco came together to talk spreadsheets last night

My boyyyyyyyy @lateroundqb.bsky.social

Can yall stop calling me Joe Flacco now?

We got a foot of snow yesterday in Charlotte and I’m still somehow optimistic I’ll be able to make it out to San Francisco tomorrow evening. If you’re out there for the Super Bowl, holler!

Today’s the fourth birthday of Late-Round Fantasy Football. Doing the podcast, putting together the guides, building a community of amazing people...it’s a dream. Thank you all for supporting what I -- and now *we* -- do. It never gets lost on me how lucky I am.

The Late-Round Prospect Guide is ready for preorder! Price is the same, but there are improved models, new score scaling, and, most importantly... TIGHT END PROFILES ARE COMING. Head to LateRound.com to check it out.

We've got an awesome newsletter on the impact coaching changes have on NFL offenses/fantasy football coming out tomorrow morning, researched and written by @gdula.bsky.social. Make sure you're subscribed (it's free!) via LateRound.com.

I think we're learning that teams aren't thrilled about the coaches in this cycle. Like the opposite of last year.

Will be doing a mailbag episode this week -- send me your questions!

Last week, I analyzed the big things I got wrong during the 2025 fantasy season in order to find process flaws. On today’s episode, I look at the things that went right in order to see if we can repeat any of those processes. Get it here: open.spotify.com/episode/21BK...

Asked my son who will coach the Browns and he said “Blippi” and you know what? Not a bad call at this point

This is awesome bsky.app/profile/kaly...

Mike Macdonald’s son right now

I get the urge to say that the Patriots had a cake walk in the regular season and to the Super Bowl, but 1) They beat up that easy schedule 2) They still looked good analytically 3) There weren’t many paths in the AFC where people WOULDNT complain Congrats to New England

Jonnu Smith gonna crush it in the Big Ten next year bsky.app/profile/dian...

If (when) I lose power this weekend from the storm for a long period of time (days), don't worry: Tuesday's episode is in the hopper. You'll get your content.

I go over some of my biggest misses from the 2025 fantasy season to see what exactly went wrong: open.spotify.com/episode/1mhl...

It was a weird fantasy football season for wide receivers. Especially WR2s. I’m back with the Late-Round Podcast to investigate what’s been happening at the position, and why 2025 felt so weird. open.spotify.com/episode/2lkL...

I wouldnt trot CJ Stroud back out there but I also live in my parents basement

Excited to watch Josh Allen throw to Allen Lazard and Kalif Raymond next year to fix this problem that’s evident to every person on earth outside of the Bills front office

Chuck Noll was hired at 37 years old. Bill Cowher was hired at 34 years old. Mike Tomlin was hired at 34 years old. Fully expecting a younger hire for Pittsburgh.

Look, man. I'm gonna be a fan for a second. I was born and raised in Pittsburgh. Been a Steeler fan my whole life, even if that fandom looks different these days. Mike Tomlin brought me a lot of great memories, and I hope he crushes whatever's next. But this was necessary.

The definition of insanity is keeping Mike Tomlin around for another year.

That’s now 542 straight fourth-down decisions where Troy Aikman would “take the points”

Jauan Jennings is an interesting free agent quarterback option for the Jets

Will be live with @davidkitchenbs.bsky.social at noon Eastern today for the Late-Round Fantasy Football Show. Join us for some playoff best ball nerdiness: www.youtube.com/watch?v=OwvF...
