This week's mailbag episode is filled with game theory talk. JJ explains why you can't just always trade studs for younger players in dynasty, why deeper leagues require more skill, why this year's quarterback shuffle probably doesn't matter a ton for fantasy football purposes, and much more.

354: Mailbag 3/6/20

Fantasy football doesn't have to feel so luck-driven. The award-winning Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast is a fantasy football show that helps you win through bite-sized, analytically-driven episodes. Instead of just drafting from a list of players and crossing your fingers with the hopes that those players produce, host JJ Zachariason provides a process to help you find breakout candidates, sleepers, busts and more. The approach is logical. It's strategic. And it wins.
