Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Do Podcast. I'm your host, Corey
Evans. This week's show is titled five Burning Questions for Training Camp. I
have five pressing topics that I've come up with, thinking from a launcher point
of view, or at least in twenty twenty four with Dynasty in mind.
What these players, these situations for teams mean for both Redraft and Dynasty as
we had in a training camp, the preseason and eventual twenty twenty four NFL
campaign. Before I get to that, there was a five star rim review
left on Apple podcast. It was titled Elite Dynasty Podcast left by Chris Hogat.
It read efficient Dynasty content keeps this podcast in my top three Fantasy football
podcast. As a Patreon, it's great to get the additional deeper dive episodes.
I've also done a one hour roster call for one of my teams and
can easily say it's the best value out there. If you're on the fence,
I wouldn't hesitate to pull the trigger. Chris. First of all,
it was nice being you over on Google, meet your support on Patreon.
Investment in the podcast with a roster call means a ton appreciate the kind words
and positive feedback in the form of the Apple Podcast review. If you also
listening, want that shout out. It's only a quick few clicks of a
button five stars, we get a few words written, and I will do
so on next week's program. Don't forget I am offering fourteen percent off said

right around the corner a matter of at this point, not weeks, but
days, since we're approaching the middle of July. Number one is Keon Coleman
ready for the NFL. There's a huge volume void left behind in Buffalo from
Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis Diggs to Houston Davis to Jacksonville. That's two hundred
and forty one targets alone from twenty twenty three. For the Bills to redistribute,
bring in or enter Keon Coleman six four two fifteen with a skill set
that has built more off of physicality, evading tackles, pure strength, and
after catch prowess with this thirty eight h vertical and ten foot seven inch broad
jump as opposed to straight line speed disappointing in the four point sixty point forty
you're acall if you watched the NFL combine that Keon Coleman dominated. The gauntlank
jokes to one. You have football is being thrown to you as you run
a straight line, and that's more of an indication of on field ability in
my mind as a pure natural pass catcher. The Bills rightfully thought so as
well. Second round selection thirty three overall just miss being a first round pick.
Keon Coleman spent two years in school Michigan State and one with Florida States.
The best overall production came in twenty twenty three with FSU fifty grabs,
six fifty eight eleven touchdowns, although he produced better counting stats overall in twenty
twenty two with MSU fifty eight, seven ninety eight and seven touchdowns. The
best part about rostering Keon Coleman adynast right now is the age. The youth
is not turned twenty two until next May, so he'll be as young or
younger than some twenty twenty five college wide receiver prospects. Now, let's dive
you a deeper into Coleman's current outlook. Bill's GM Brandon Bean has waivered on
Kean's progress and role since being drafted. It started off in terms of dialogue
as all sunshine Rainbows, has since subsided and downgraded a bit in terms of
initial role perhaps, and that causes some pause for concern that Coleman could utilized
in certain packages as opposed to a full time player or direct replacement to Stefon
Diggs or Gabe Davis. You also have Curtis Samuel Khalil Shakir in the mix
at wide receiver Buffalo, and ultimately, for me, it means that Kean
will fulfill his role be a force for Buffalo in due time, even if
he's brought along slowly as a rookie. But from a fantasy point of view,
I think the safest or best bet for receiver in Buffalo is Dalton Kincaid.
He is going to be used as a glorified receiver as opposed to a
traditional inline or even blocking tight end. That's Dawson Knox his role k Kate
splits with Without Knox last year, we're eye popping. Now back to Keyon
Coleman. Is he ready for the NFL? Of course, he was drafted
almost as a first round pick, second round or thirty third overall in terms
of expectations out of the gate temper them. But sure he's still worth a
late first in one quarterback league, if not a surefire second round selection in
super flex rookie drafts this summer. Number two is who will surface as wide
receiver two for the Colts. Michael Pittman Jr. He's locked in. We
all know that as widout one. The unknown is Josh Downs or ad and
I ad Mitschell. Could they show enough to warrant clearcut wide receiver two status
opposed to more of a committee approach at the position With the now rebound campaign
in store for Anthony Richardson, assuming the shoulder checks out, Josh Downs himself
for the third round selection. Last year, he show glimpses of promise with
a sixty eight seven to seventy one and two touchdown effort as a rookie,
eleven point three yards per grab on ninety eight targets good not great production.
However, due to size limitations, He's five to nine one seventy one Downs
is more of a slot weapon than all around receiver. He dealt with a
lingering knee injury that limited his on field consistency even availability over the second half
of last season, yet still managed a run six hundred and one routes that
was thirteenth most among NFL wideouts in twenty twenty three. Meanwhile, Ady Mitchell,
who I view as having a higher ceiling than Downs, was the second
round selection this year out of Texas, with far more impressive set of tools,
collectively at sixty two two oh five with a four point three four to
forty a blazer in addition to jump out of the gym athletic traits thirty nine
and a half ins vertical eleven and foot four inch broad jump eighties. College
stats aren't off the page impressive. He was a two year transfer from Georgia.
He did manage to deliver receiving log A fifty five for eight forty five
eleven scores, fifteen point three hours per catch. That was in twenty twenty
three with Texas, and that was amidst plenty of competition for volume. Jonathan
Brooks, zaber Worthy, Davion Sanders. You get the point that Adie Mitchell
is a legitimate prospect with immense upside. Mick Schell received consistent buzz during Otia's
and rookie camp, especially from head coach Shane Steichen, who noted that ad
was making a lot of plays in early stages of organized practices. Always good
to have a positive drum beat from your head coach who will more often than
not dictate playing time and snapshare. Beat reporters echoed that viewpoint over the past
few months, which is encouraging for Mitchell's the Enters training camp in pursuit of
that wide receivers role in Indianapolis. One thing is clear. Alec Pierce has
lost the most value out of all Colts wide receivers this offseason, and his
borderline droppable in DONASA League's as he projects to fill a low volume role for
Indianapolis, a vertical or boundary target downfield. That's despite him being one of
the top route runners in terms of just pure snaps and routes last year,
yet it was more cardio based than actual county stats are production. So Pierce
is more valuable to the Colts in real life as a seam stretcher and a
way to shift defensive attention or coverage to the opposite side of Michael Pittman Downs
or Adie Mitschell. If I had to put my money on it, Downs
has perhaps the initial edge just because of the slot presence he showed as a
rookie. But give it time, Ady Mitchell could be a superstar in fantasy
football. He's one of my most roster rookies from twenty twenty four. Question
number three is Marvin Mimms? Is he going to be more than a gadget
special teams player? At this point, it's a fair debate or conversation to
have. After Sean Paydon hand picked Mems as his first offensive draft pick since
joining Denvers at coach, it was assumed a large role would be in store
for the second rounder sixty three overall in twenty twenty three. That was not
the case. We fast forward and see the future for Marvin as a sophomore
is not as bright as it was as he entered the league out of school.
That being said, the production was twenty two to three seventy seven and
one score seventeen point one yards per catch on only thirty three targets, so
a very small sample size and level of U six. So it's not Mims
in terms of the issue is a lack of opportunity. One positive is that
his involvement as a returner means he's a key piece for Denver General punts nineteen
for three, twelve kickoffs fifteen three, ninety seven and one, a Pro
Bowl talent and that capacity. A bit more on Mims the prospect, he
had a standout athletic profile out of Oklahoma four point three eight forty a lot
of speed, thirty nine a havased vertical ten foot nine broad jump. It
was coupled with legitimate prospect production. He averaged nineteen and a half yards per
catch on one hundred and twenty three career receptions twenty receiving touchdowns as well,
so it was stat and metric based. It was a lack of targets or
volume that limited Mims with the Broncos as a rookie. We now have Jerry
Judy out of the picture traded to Cleveland over the off season. Courland Sudden,
his potential holdout candidate, under contract until twenty twenty six, and that
leaves Mims any theoretical driver's seat for an expanded sophomore role, unless fourth round
er Troy Franklins a strong case or free agent signing Josh Reynolds on seats both
of them for the wide receiver two or three role. Even Tim Patrick is
expected to return, but it's hard to amag him serving a substantial amount of
playing time based on the injury history. Sean Payton claims that we're going to
see a lot of growth year one to year two with Mims. As much
as I want to believe that's true, we need to see a spike in
usage to get on board with a boost and value. Sean Payton is not
the most trustworthy when it comes to coach speak, so let's see it happen
before really boosting or increasing our outlook for Marvin Mims. In twenty twenty four,
Mims himself said that his second NFL offseason has been a lot smoother.
That is great to hear. He credited a good health and a better grasp
of demvers. It's a playbook, and that is one thing we know from
Paydon's days with the Saints. His playbook is not easy to grasp or pick
up, so perhaps that was also a factor in the lack of involvement for
Mims last season. His season high in twenty twenty three snap rate was sixty
nine percent, season low twenty three percent, so all over the map.
But what shows a lack of consistency was not recording more than three receptions or
five targets in a single contest last year. In general, I'm more in
than out on Mims because he won't cost you more than a second, perhaps
a third or two thirds. And at that point, based on the collegiate
profile and the talent, that is what we know. Speed, big playability
count me in. So I think he is more than a gadget a specialties
player. But let's see what happens in training camp to really decipher that sign.

Question number four is will Rico Dowd will be the best kept secret and
value in fantasy running back in twenty twenty four. He resigned with Dallas this
offseason. Head coach MT McCarthy claimed it was a big win for the team
that was prior to the NFL Draft, So those comments can be taken now
at face value that were in July and training camp is fast approaching, even
if the rumor mill of Lena Fournette being linked to Dallas as a free agent
is true, Lena Fournette looked a bit washed last year of Buffalo, so
let's not necessarily be all that concerned. Dallas could have drafted running back signed
a major free agent name outside of Ezego Elliott, so Rico's immediate value looks
pretty darn good. On paper, Rico was quietly effective even in twenty twenty
three alongside twenty Powered. In fact, dat all ranked as a PPRRB fifty
on limited volume with stats of eighty nine three sixty one and two on the
ground four point one x per clip and then seventeen for a buck forty four
and two receiving touchdowns on twenty two targets. He was one B to Power's
one to a more of an inn Sillier role. But if that workload increases,
Dottle could surface as a week tweak flex if not RB three candidates,
I don't see RB one RB two stats on the horizon, But at lost
third fourth round pick in the ten filt team league, you can do a
lot worse for depth at running back than Rigo, Dowdell, and now don't
forget Poward in Tennessee, Rico is in line for a spike in overall volume
rushing receiver because Dallas only brought in Zeke as legitimate batfield competition. Dowdall himself
a former UDIFA out of South Carolina. He did not surpass one hundred and
thirty three rushes seven hundred and sixty four yards rushing, six rushing touchdowns in
any single collecian campaign, yet provided versatility with sixty two career receptions and a
solid athletic profile. Goes a bit under the radar. Six feet two fifteen
four point five four to forty thirty eighties vertical in a ten foot seven inch
broad Then again, he wasn't undrafted running back, so it took time for
him to even make a name for himself at the pro level. Other Dallas
running back depth right now includes Royce Freeman, League, Davis nu Connor,
Duce Vaughan, basically none of which figured to pose a significant threat. Four
Volume two Dowdle or Zeke at this time. I'm not declaring Rigo Doadald League
winner for twenty twenty four. You're looking at pure value. There's a lot
of room for growth or profit when you look at his late round ADP compared
to others at the same position. Or even in the top one fifty to
two hundred overall. So unless the Cowboys bring in or trade for a different
running back to solidify in its backfield, I think Ricg'donald's going to be a
really nice depth piece for dynasty rosters. And then the last question, number
five is how much will Bucky Irvy eat into Rashad White's workload. White delivered
elite value in fants football last season as the PPR RB four overall thanks to
his compile numbers of two seventy two nine to ninety and six in the ground
for a less than stellar three point six yards per clip, sixty four five
forty nine three touchdowns as a receiver on seventy targets. Rashad White led all
in four running backs and snaps with injury twenty three, so playing time was
amazing working in his favor. White did benefit more from volume than efficiency,
as you could see from three point six yarder carry average, but volume is
king at running back in fantasy, and he's proven that he's a capable of
reliable pass catcher. He had those sixty four catches last year and then fifty
as a rookie in twenty twenty two head coach Todd Bowles is a major advocate
of whites the versaal skill sets new o Celium. Cohen has shown praise for
Ashod, but also has acknowledged Bucky Irving the notable speed acceleration at their handoff
or at the catch points. And those comments from Cohen are interesting because those
are elements of irving skill set or athletic profile that I thought were read flags
from the combine four point five five forty twenty nine and a half ins vertical
nine foot seven in broad especially the Verton Broad. Those are underwhelming analytics that
usually pinpoint a lack of suddenness or explosiveness. Maybe he plays different with pads
On, and the film at Oregon does show that because the onfield production with
the one year Minnesota and then the others at Oregon showed back to back seasons
with at least one thousand yards on the ground and then six point two for
yards per carry average on four hundred and seventy five total career rushes and then
how about for good measure, ninety five total receptions. I tend to think
that Irving could possibly push for an eventual with you the split with for shod
Whites, and a best case scenario, I don't see him unseeing for Shod
as a whole. The four for Irving should be a change of pace or
passing down outlet for Baker Mayfield because that's a role that Bucky exceled that at
the collegiate level. In terms of other Buccaneers running back depth, Chase Edmonds
is still around, not a huge threat throw to her shot or Bucky Irving
entering the season. So all in all, Irving is shaping up to be
one of my favorite third round selections based on rookie ADP. I have a
few shares so far. If you have a Shot White, it is a
priority to I think draft Irving to have that Batfield un lock because don't be
surprised if Bucky eventually carves out standalone value in twenty twenty four. And I
do think that he might surprise us more than METI And we'll find out soon
in training camp. Thank you all for listening. Hope you all enjoyed.
D five burning questions for twenty twenty four training camp. Those were to repeat
and recap is keyon Coleman ready for the NFL. I think the answer is
yes, it might be a slow starter, slow burn until we see an
actual ceiling. Number two is who will surface as the wide receiver two for
the Colts out of the gate. I'm guys seeing Josh Downs, but Ady
Mikschell is my bet. Term Number three is Marvin Mims Junior more than a
gadget or special teams player? For me, the answer is yes, need
to see more usage, target, snapshare, et cetera. As a sophomore.
Number four, will we go down? It'll be the best kept secret
and value in fantasy running back in twenty twenty four. It's possible. I
just think he's a really good value in general at this point in time with
only Zeke as legitimate running back competition and number five, how much will Bucky
Irving eat into Rashad White's workload? Rashad is still clearcut rby one, but
I do think there's a situation where Irving at least makes it a seventy five
twenty five split, if not pushing sixty forty fifty to fifty by the end
of the twenty twenty four season. Thank you all for listening. Don't forget
