The Late-Round Fantasy Football Podcast on Chris Rodriguez

PodcastLate-Round Perspectives: John Daigle Returns AgainJuly 24, 2026

From the episode

someone like Chris Rodriguez, I actually care a lot more about him in best ball than I do in season long. I don't I don't want a guy who I know more than likely, you know, 90 percent outcome is more than likely not going to be much of a pass catcher or like a huge league winner. But he can definitely beat costs and he can definitely get work and it might be unpredictable work.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalValue

Rodriguez has more value in best ball than season long due to upside ceiling.

JJ Zachariason cares significantly more about Chris Rodriguez in best ball than in season long; while Rodriguez is unlikely to be a pass catcher or league winner in season long, he can beat costs and generate unpredictable work in best ball, where the downside of inconsistency is mitigated by the format's automatic scoring.
