Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty
Dude Podcast. I'm your host, Corey

2
00:00:23,960 --> 00:00:28,000
Evans. Thank you for listening this
week. I've constructed a Dynasty Christmas wish

3
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:31,839
list, so think of it as
being a kid again and asking Sanna for

4
00:00:32,320 --> 00:00:36,119
toys, video games, things like
that, or even now us as adults

5
00:00:36,479 --> 00:00:41,320
asking family or spouses for certain items
for Christmas. That's what the idea of

6
00:00:41,399 --> 00:00:46,520
premises here. I have ten outcomes
for players or even strategies, rules,

7
00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:51,560
league structures that I would like to
see occur in Dynasty for the sake of

8
00:00:51,719 --> 00:00:56,119
fantasy football value and or existing Dynasty
leagues. Before I get to that quick

9
00:00:56,119 --> 00:01:00,280
reminder about my thirty minute or one
hour roster calls over on Google meety minutes,

10
00:01:00,359 --> 00:01:03,119
thirty bucks, one hour, fifty
hours. If you made it to

11
00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:06,959
the postseason or advanced already to the
semi finals, congratulations. If you want

12
00:01:06,959 --> 00:01:10,120
to touch base about bat roster,
that team, or even if you're eliminated

13
00:01:10,120 --> 00:01:11,799
from the playoffs, what to do
for twenty twenty four and beyond, then

14
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:17,519
hit me up. That's dynastydu Pod

order, but my ten Dynasty Christmas wish

17
00:01:26,599 --> 00:01:30,599
list items up first is that t
Higgins leave Cincinnati as a free agent in

18
00:01:30,599 --> 00:01:34,079
twenty twenty four. He turns twenty
five in January, still very young.

19
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:38,079
He was a former second rounder in
twenty twenty out of Clemson as a rookie

20
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,359
in twenty twenty sixty seven nine oh
eight and six for thirteen point six yards

21
00:01:42,359 --> 00:01:46,879
per ketch on one hundred and eight
targets as the PPR wide receiver twenty eight,

22
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:49,439
so a Rockslid wide receiver three twenty
twenty one is a sophomore seventy four

23
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:53,120
ten, ninety one and six for
fourteen point seven yards per ketch one hundred

24
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:57,439
and ten targets as the wide receiver
twenty four. PPR just made the wide

25
00:01:57,439 --> 00:02:02,239
receiver two cutoff twenty twenty two,
thirty years a pro seventy four ten twenty

26
00:02:02,319 --> 00:02:06,560
nine to seven thirteen point nine yards
per ketch one hundred and nine targets as

27
00:02:06,599 --> 00:02:09,319
the wide receiver eighteen in PPR took
that step forward on the cusp of being

28
00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:14,639
a borderline wide out one wide out
two This year twenty twenty three has been

29
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:19,560
some negative regression thirty six four to
ninety seven with four touchdowns thirteen point esperketch

30
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,439
on sixty six targets. He's well
off the wide receiver one, wide receiver

31
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:28,520
two, even wide receiver three radar
in terms of his projected annual finish.

32
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:31,719
His games played per year as a
pro are sixteen, fourteen and sixteen prior

33
00:02:31,719 --> 00:02:36,439
to this season at six four,
two nineteen, with possession receiver traits and

34
00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:39,080
scen instrection ability, not to mention
a strong presence in the red zone do

35
00:02:39,159 --> 00:02:43,599
with size, Higgins has what it
takes to become a franchise caliber wide out

36
00:02:43,599 --> 00:02:46,680
one on a different NFL team.
The issue is in Cincinnati, Jamark Chase

37
00:02:46,719 --> 00:02:50,680
is the alpha. Higgins is the
one B to chase his one to A.

38
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,960
Early indications are that Cincinnati will let
Higgins walk in the open market in

39
00:02:53,960 --> 00:02:58,680
twenty twenty four. Since the contracts
of Joe Burrow and Jamark Chase are viewed

40
00:02:58,680 --> 00:03:01,560
as priorities for the organization, it
makes sense Burrow was the coin memphasis and

41
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:06,439
Chase is not far behind. Twenty
twenty three has been a frustrating campaign for

42
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:09,599
t in dynasty or even redraft,
with four missed contest due to injury,

43
00:03:09,759 --> 00:03:15,400
couple with a few outright awful performances. Week fifteen versus Minnesota was a step

44
00:03:15,439 --> 00:03:17,840
in the right direction with his four
sixty one and two touchdown efforts. That

45
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,360
is a T Higgins we all saw
from twenty twenty twenty twenty two to twenty

46
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,319
twenty three has been a step backwards, But I do think that if T

47
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:29,560
is able to leave the Bengals while
signing a massive free agent contract, it

48
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,479
could bode well for his future.
Outlook. Up nights would be Arizona building

49
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:38,240
around Kyler Murrays is a very debated
topic in the NFL and fantasy space.

50
00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:42,280
The Cardinals appear locked into a top
three to five pick overall for the twenty

51
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:46,639
twenty four draft at three and eleven
and three Week sixteen, assuming USC quarterback

52
00:03:46,719 --> 00:03:49,680
prospect kil Williams is selected with pick
one oh one or one oh two.

53
00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:53,199
In real life, Arizona could be
in a position to either trade back,

54
00:03:53,319 --> 00:03:58,240
make a non quarterback pick, or
select a prospect at quarterback to replace Kyler,

55
00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:00,280
such as Drake May out of North
Carolin Not or even Jayden Daniels from

56
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,759
LSU. Hopefully to front office,
the sides to add talent around Murray,

57
00:04:03,759 --> 00:04:06,879
who was under contract with the team
until twenty twenty nine, and ideal fits

58
00:04:08,039 --> 00:04:11,400
would be a top wide receiver like
Marvin Harrison junior Otaho State. That would

59
00:04:11,439 --> 00:04:14,680
be a dream scenario. Murray,
just turned twenty six in August, has

60
00:04:14,759 --> 00:04:17,079
yet to reach his prime years in
the NFL. Kyler, as we all

61
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:20,360
know, first overall pick back in
twenty nineteen and has since finished in the

62
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:25,519
fantasy football space as quarterback six,
three, ten, and nineteen over that

63
00:04:25,560 --> 00:04:29,079
span. The outlier, of course, is quarterback nineteen that's twenty twenty two.

64
00:04:29,199 --> 00:04:31,800
Tory Acl only appearing in eleven games
played into twenty twenty three, has

65
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:35,279
only been active for a little bit
less than half the season. He's lost

66
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:40,480
some perceived value in stock, and
there's even a negative connotation associated with Kyler

67
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:45,519
because of the injury history. Whenever
a window or a perception is cast aside

68
00:04:45,639 --> 00:04:48,079
for a player in that direction,
that's negative. I try to swoop in

69
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:53,600
by low and or take the risk
with fifty seventy five cents off the dollar

70
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:57,519
onset player. So to put my
money where my mouth is, I made

71
00:04:57,519 --> 00:05:00,560
a trade for Kyler. Recently,
I gave up Dak Prescott and twenty four

72
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,120
to fifth for Kyler in a twenty
four thirds just three zero five. That's

73
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:06,560
a super flex league and hopes to
buy back some position first and foremost.

74
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:12,839
But also take the calculator risk that
Kyler should be a starter in Arizona for

75
00:05:12,920 --> 00:05:16,040
quite some time and or traded if
the Cardinals are sold on a may Or

76
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,600
Daniels, perhaps even j McCarthy.
A lot of unknowns there right. All

77
00:05:19,639 --> 00:05:24,439
I will say is that sure Kyler's
been inconsistent since his return in Week ten,

78
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:28,240
with one thousand and seventy five yards
passing, four touchdowns for interceptions,

79
00:05:28,399 --> 00:05:30,439
sixty two point one complete percenting is
rates, six point four yars per press

80
00:05:30,439 --> 00:05:34,160
attempt, and a twenty nine one
forty five pre rushing log. Those numbers

81
00:05:34,240 --> 00:05:39,759
aren't off the charts impressive, and
at times he's been forcing the ball downfield.

82
00:05:39,839 --> 00:05:42,240
Then again, think what he has
to work with. Markus Brown has

83
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,839
been in out of the lineup.
Trey McBride is his best option and he

84
00:05:44,879 --> 00:05:47,600
looks like a superstar in the making. James Connor is being used as more

85
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,600
of a one dimensional O down grinder
and not as a receiver like in years

86
00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:54,560
past. Michael Wilson can't stay in
the field. You see what I mean.

87
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,879
Kyler has tried to improvise and do
the best he can with his limited

88
00:05:57,879 --> 00:06:01,040
supporting cast. It's not a Kyler
Murray album. It's an Arizona offensive line

89
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,120
and personnel deployment issue that could be
solved in vacancy or a draft capital on

90
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,040
twenty twenty four. Long story short, I think Kyler Murray is the best

91
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,639
buy low in a super flex league
right now. Number three is that Atlanta

92
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:15,959
makes an upgrade at quarterback for the
sake of b John Robinson, Drake London,

93
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:18,120
and Kyle Pitts. Desmond Ridder has
shown promise at times, but it's

94
00:06:18,120 --> 00:06:21,079
now clear he does not have the
skill set to be an annual starter at

95
00:06:21,079 --> 00:06:26,600
the NFL level because of inconsistency as
a passer and simply bad decision making to

96
00:06:26,639 --> 00:06:29,680
all levels of the field short,
intermediate, deep, there's been way too

97
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,240
many turnovers. Head coach Rother Smith
turned to Taylor Heineke over Ritter at one

98
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:35,560
point in twenty twenty three before reverting
back to Desmond, and there's a chance

99
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:40,360
it sounds like that could occur once
again in week sixteen. Time will tell

100
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:42,879
I don't know at the time in
recording. All that tells us, though,

101
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,879
is that the coaching staff doesn't view
ridd his development or step forward as

102
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:50,759
enough to lead this team to the
playoffs. Former third round in his Nattie

103
00:06:50,879 --> 00:06:55,639
offering an intriguing college resume. Unfortunately, he simply does not appear to cut

104
00:06:55,639 --> 00:06:57,680
it when you break down the film
week by week, year by year.

105
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,079
Now in fact, twenty twenty two
as a rookie seven eight yards passing,

106
00:07:00,079 --> 00:07:03,120
two touchdowns, zero picks completed,
sixty three and a half percent Is passes

107
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,319
for six point two yes per attempt, sixteen rushesixty four yards on the ground.

108
00:07:06,319 --> 00:07:10,199
It was only four games played,
very small sample size. Look good.

109
00:07:10,399 --> 00:07:13,399
We don't know what to think here. We are twenty twenty three softber

110
00:07:13,439 --> 00:07:16,040
campaign. Two thousand, five hundred
and twenty eight yards passing ten touchdowns,

111
00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:20,240
ten receptions, horrible, completing sixty
three point three percent. IS passes seven

112
00:07:20,279 --> 00:07:23,959
point one yards per attempt. The
only thing has kept him a float in

113
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:27,920
fantasy with a few spike weeks is
the rushing ability fifty one one to ninety

114
00:07:27,920 --> 00:07:30,000
three and five touchdowns as a rusher. Outside of that, I think all

115
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:35,000
of us could agree, if not
have a near consensus on Desimitter not cutting

116
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:39,040
it at the NFL level. He
could be an option for another team down

117
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:42,560
the road or a backup elsewhere.
For the sake of Bijon, London and

118
00:07:42,639 --> 00:07:46,879
Pits, Let's hope either Arthur Smith
is fired and or a better quarterback is

119
00:07:46,879 --> 00:07:50,120
brought in vie the draft or trade
freagancy, whatever it may be, because

120
00:07:50,199 --> 00:07:55,480
right now, Ritter is a main
component of why there's inconsistencies with Bijon,

121
00:07:55,600 --> 00:08:00,480
London and Pits, respectively. Next
one is trailing Burke's taking a thirty leap

122
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:03,399
the start of the NFL career has
been a huge disappointment, to say the

123
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:07,959
least. Tennessee basically traded aj Brown
in Philadelphia in order to draft Berks as

124
00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:11,560
a replacement wide out on offense for
the sake of their depth charts. Twenty

125
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:13,319
twenty two is a rookie, Burks
delivered a thirty three four to forty four

126
00:08:13,399 --> 00:08:16,759
one touchdown line, thirteen and a
half yards per catch, fifty four targets,

127
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,399
and eleven games played. Not great, but given the circumstances, it

128
00:08:20,439 --> 00:08:26,360
was respectable. Twenty twenty three major
step backwards twelve catches a buck eighty five,

129
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:28,560
no touchdowns, twenty four targets,
and only eight games played so far.

130
00:08:28,680 --> 00:08:33,480
Durability it stands out as the largest
issue at hand for Burkes. As

131
00:08:33,480 --> 00:08:37,039
a rookie, he battled turf toe, sustained concussion. Twenty twenty three,

132
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,799
he suffered a grade to LCL sprain, a second career concussion, and then

133
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:43,919
a separate knee sprain. He's back, He's not being featured all that much,

134
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:48,759
which is obviously not what was expected
for him. He's no longer worthy,

135
00:08:48,759 --> 00:08:50,720
of my mind of a first round
KY Draft pick one quarterback or super

136
00:08:50,759 --> 00:08:54,840
flex. A second is fair game
in hopes a year three breakout is on

137
00:08:54,840 --> 00:08:58,440
the horizon with Will Levis emerging as
the Titans starting quarterback, impossible franchise solution

138
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:03,279
at the position. Treylan has ethotic
profiles succeed as a pro No one's going

139
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:05,799
to deny that six two to twenty
five four point five five speed drawing comparisons

140
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,360
too A J. Brown Julio Jones. As a prospect. His career outlook

141
00:09:09,399 --> 00:09:13,279
and fantasy value are all going to
will down to availability moving forward, which

142
00:09:13,320 --> 00:09:18,639
means if you trade for and or
hold on to Burks, his health is

143
00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:20,519
going to dictate if he's startable,
if he's even on a field, which

144
00:09:20,559 --> 00:09:24,679
is an unpredictable situation. Like I
mentioned, I tend to buy any dip

145
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,039
in value for a prospect I was
a fan of and I was a Burks

146
00:09:26,039 --> 00:09:30,080
fan, So sure I'll send out
a second or a couple of thirds in

147
00:09:30,159 --> 00:09:33,840
order to acquire Burks take that third
year leap of faith. I hope it

148
00:09:33,879 --> 00:09:35,600
pans out. Will Levis is a
big component of that. Not to mention

149
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:39,360
Hopkins aging. Time will tell,
but I still remain optimistic that Burks is

150
00:09:39,399 --> 00:09:43,480
not completely a bust yet. Up
next is Hennon Hooker getting the kids to

151
00:09:43,519 --> 00:09:48,000
start for Detroit. He's twenty six
in January, third rounder out of Tennessee.

152
00:09:48,039 --> 00:09:50,279
This year, he had a thirty
one to three and twenty seven to

153
00:09:50,279 --> 00:09:52,639
two ratio for touchdown the picks over
his final two years in school. How

154
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:56,840
about five hundred and eighteen career rushing
attempts in college with two thousand and eight

155
00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:01,279
three yards rushing and twenty five rushing
scores alone, completing sixty seven percent is

156
00:10:01,320 --> 00:10:03,480
passes at the college level on nine
hundred and forty three attempts nine and a

157
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:09,320
half yards per attempt. The one
side note here is that Teddy Bridgewater mentioned

158
00:10:09,559 --> 00:10:13,480
his intentions to retire after the twenty
twenty three season, which leaves Hennon Hooker

159
00:10:13,519 --> 00:10:16,799
as Jared Goff's possible backup for twenty
twenty four or the heir apparent if Goff

160
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,399
doesn't impress Detroit's coaches have enough this
postseason and bring them to where they need

161
00:10:22,440 --> 00:10:24,120
to be because Detroit is suddenly one
of the better teams in the NFC.

162
00:10:24,279 --> 00:10:28,759
Hennon Hooker is someone that's being stopped
down in one quarterback and even super flex

163
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:31,200
formats, So try to acquire him
now before the hype builds up, because

164
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:35,639
it does sound like he'll be activated
within that twenty one day window per Dan

165
00:10:35,679 --> 00:10:39,120
Campbell this week. Keep a close
eye on that time for a quick break,

166
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:43,600
and I'll be back with five more
of my Dynasty Christmas wish list items

amount compared to other prices in the
fans football space. Be right back with

175
00:11:09,039 --> 00:11:16,399
five more of those wish list items. The next is that Chris Godwin rebounds

176
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,799
in value. He's going to be
twenty eight already in February, so suddenly

177
00:11:18,879 --> 00:11:24,799
becoming a declining asset in Dynasty.
The transition from Tom Brady to Baker Mayfield

178
00:11:24,799 --> 00:11:28,360
has led to Goblin's plummet in value
this season. From twenty nineteen to twenty

179
00:11:28,399 --> 00:11:31,639
twenty two, he registered catch totals
of eighty six sixty five ninety eight one

180
00:11:31,679 --> 00:11:35,759
oh four with three one thousand plus
yard receiving campaigns overst span of time.

181
00:11:35,960 --> 00:11:39,080
Twenty fwreey three has been a step
in the wrong direction with a sixty eight

182
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:43,360
eight fourteen one line. The one
touchdown is what stands out most right that's

183
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:46,159
entering week sixteen. Week fifteen at
Green Bay was his best showing the year

184
00:11:46,159 --> 00:11:50,240
by far, ten receptions for a
buckety five on twelve targets. If you

185
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:54,639
had the confidence to start him,
you probably advanced to the next round of

186
00:11:54,639 --> 00:11:56,919
your playoffs. I personally have three
or four shows of Godwin started in one

187
00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:01,039
league, one of which I'm eliminating
in so I wasn't able to benefit.

188
00:12:01,240 --> 00:12:03,639
It was great to see him and
Baker on the same page for exchange,

189
00:12:03,639 --> 00:12:07,240
because his after the catch skills and
route running, reliable hands or what MAKEE

190
00:12:07,240 --> 00:12:09,679
Godwin in the past wide receiver one, if not by receiver two candidate PPR.

191
00:12:09,799 --> 00:12:13,120
Gold has not been that way in
twenty twenty three. Now, keep

192
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:15,639
in mind he's a free agent in
twenty twenty five, and there's a possible

193
00:12:15,639 --> 00:12:18,519
out in his contract for twenty twenty
four, the loophole being it's a twenty

194
00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,080
six point three eight six million dollar
dead cap move, so I doubt that

195
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,200
Tampa Bay decides to go that route. Nonetheless, for the sake of Godwin's

196
00:12:24,240 --> 00:12:26,600
short term value, two things need
to happen, or one of the two

197
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,759
Mike Evans will have to leave as
a free agent, or Mayfield have to

198
00:12:30,799 --> 00:12:33,440
be replaced during the off season that
quarterback. I could see both of those

199
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:37,320
happening. One of the two certainly
in play entering the offseason based on his

200
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,120
age as I'm actionally twenty eight in
February, give to be a click contender

201
00:12:39,159 --> 00:12:43,360
to try and trade for him.
Investing in him otherwise seems a bit risky

202
00:12:43,399 --> 00:12:46,639
compared to what his career could look
like over the next few seasons, especially

203
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,919
the lack of contract clarity. The
next item is that Sam Howell keeps washington

204
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,080
starting quarterback job for twenty twenty four. This one could be a bit polarized

205
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,919
and hear me out. Though he
turns twenty four nex September very young.

206
00:12:58,159 --> 00:13:01,080
Despite being sacked at a near record
break king level in twenty twenty three,

207
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:05,600
Howell has surfaced as a borderline top
five to eight the Pinaniti scoring format quarterback

208
00:13:05,600 --> 00:13:07,679
and fantasy football. To be clear, Sam has been much better for us

209
00:13:07,679 --> 00:13:11,279
in fantasy than in real life for
Washington through the negative game script and inflated

210
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:16,399
volume as a passer five hundred and
thirty five passing attempts so far nentwering Week

211
00:13:16,440 --> 00:13:18,720
sixteen, his stats check in at
three thousand, five hundred and sixty eight

212
00:13:18,759 --> 00:13:22,320
yards passing, nineteen touchdowns, fifteen
interceptions. That ratio is not good.

213
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:26,480
No one's going to argue. Otherwise, There's been a lot of volume that

214
00:13:26,519 --> 00:13:30,279
has led to bad decisions and forcing
the ball downfield. Howill completing sixty four

215
00:13:30,279 --> 00:13:33,080
point seven percent is passes six point
seven yars pass attempt and then, oddly

216
00:13:33,159 --> 00:13:35,840
enough, similar to doesn't Ridder.
What's kept Howell even more afloats is is

217
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:39,360
rushing out put forty three, two, sixty five and five on the ground.

218
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,480
I will admit, though I have
much more confidence in Sam Howell as

219
00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:46,639
a quarterback in the NFL than I
do doesn't Ridder. Howell has actually led

220
00:13:46,840 --> 00:13:50,240
his team to football wins as opposed
to Riddle. Align on Atlanta's defense Bijon

221
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,480
Robinson, Tyler Oars Year get the
idea. It is widely expected that Washington

222
00:13:54,519 --> 00:13:58,240
will fire around Rivera at season's end, which leaves the door open for a

223
00:13:58,279 --> 00:14:01,240
new coach regime to either move forward
Howell or replace him in twenty twenty four.

224
00:14:01,279 --> 00:14:05,639
That's the uncertainty baked in to rostering
Howell right now in Dynasty. With

225
00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:09,039
fifth round draft capital from twenty point
two, it makes, in my opinion,

226
00:14:09,039 --> 00:14:11,879
the most financial sense for the franchise
to commit to him for at least

227
00:14:11,879 --> 00:14:16,720
one more season instead of spending an
early first on a possible quarterback alternative who's

228
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,039
going to require a lucrative signing bonus. Washington is going to have an early

229
00:14:20,039 --> 00:14:24,639
first mid at the worst, which
does put the franchise in a tough spot

230
00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:28,720
in terms of what do you do
moving forward In real life, I understand

231
00:14:28,759 --> 00:14:35,200
the concept or application of drafting a
possible franchise changing talent in the position.

232
00:14:35,519 --> 00:14:39,399
However, from a fantasy spin,
Howel's been terrific for us in redraft or

233
00:14:39,480 --> 00:14:43,039
dynasty, so on that side of
the spectrum, I wouldn't mind him keeping

234
00:14:43,039 --> 00:14:46,559
the job the next three year.
Our strategy and or league based hope you

235
00:14:46,639 --> 00:14:50,639
enjoy them. It is first weekly
double header matchups should become the norm to

236
00:14:50,639 --> 00:14:54,200
eliminate schedule variants. There's nothing more
frustrating then facing an opponent who scores the

237
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:58,559
most points during a given week when
you would have defeated a majority of the

238
00:14:58,600 --> 00:15:01,639
or many teams in your league.
Doubleheader matchups help combat that by facing two

239
00:15:01,720 --> 00:15:05,960
teams each week instead of one.
Is it the end all bel solution?

240
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:09,799
No, because you could face two
teams that are better than you, yet

241
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,879
you're the third highest scoring team that
week. That doesn't happen all that often.

242
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,240
Doubleheader matchups make each week that much
more entertaining. You're facing more players,

243
00:15:16,519 --> 00:15:20,279
have more to watch based on those
matchups. It is really entertaining.

244
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,440
If you have not done it before, I recommend doing so. I know

245
00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:26,320
not all fantasy platforms allow that feature, but it should become more mainstream,

246
00:15:26,320 --> 00:15:30,480
and I hope that it does,
especially on bigger platforms with a lot of

247
00:15:30,519 --> 00:15:33,519
reach in terms of audience size.
The next one is that using points four

248
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,279
in favorite regular season record becomes more
popular for playoff seeding. By that,

249
00:15:37,399 --> 00:15:41,879
I mean points four, it's total
points. It's a true data point of

250
00:15:41,919 --> 00:15:46,039
team performance. Right, So,
regular season record is important but often comes

251
00:15:46,039 --> 00:15:50,440
with luck, both good and bad
across a fourteen week fantasy schedule. Substituting

252
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:54,799
record for points four for the final
one or two playoff seeds is a sound

253
00:15:54,840 --> 00:15:58,399
way to make sure the best rosters
are actually included in the fantasy postseason.

254
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:02,399
Doesn't make sense, attracts it this
way. Let's take a twelve team league.

255
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:06,600
Six to twelve teams making the playoffs, most are going to have seeds

256
00:16:06,639 --> 00:16:10,240
based off of regular season record one, two, three, four, five

257
00:16:10,320 --> 00:16:14,440
six. Not proposing is that you
or your league members put it up for

258
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:18,440
a vote, and already haven't implemented
where instead of it being all six teams

259
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:22,480
based on record, you do top
four record and then perhaps five or five

260
00:16:22,519 --> 00:16:26,120
and six based on total points scored, and that is a stat or data

261
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:29,840
point available to sort in the standings. On any major fantasy platform, it's

262
00:16:29,879 --> 00:16:33,159
either total points points four, can
even do max points four, which requires

263
00:16:33,159 --> 00:16:36,240
a whole other conversation for teams to
try to tank. All I'm saying is

264
00:16:36,279 --> 00:16:40,279
that points four, I think,
is a better way to pinpoint the best

265
00:16:40,279 --> 00:16:44,039
teams in a league and reward those
who might have been a bit unlucky in

266
00:16:44,039 --> 00:16:45,960
a scheduled department. And then,
last, but not least, my wishleost

267
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,919
item is that Sleeper makes it easy
and seamless to transfer over leagues from other

268
00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:56,480
platforms. I do think with confidence
that Sleeper is the best Dynasty platform either

269
00:16:56,480 --> 00:16:59,480
the mobile app that's top website.
You can use it on your tablet.

270
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,840
It's such a clean user interface and
it's simple to navigate through, unlike other

271
00:17:03,879 --> 00:17:07,319
platforms. For instance, I've been
playing on MFL it's my Fantasy league for

272
00:17:07,319 --> 00:17:11,400
almost a decade now. It's a
great platform despite being complex and navigate around.

273
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:15,039
The mobile version of it is not
the best. That being said,

274
00:17:15,079 --> 00:17:22,640
Sleeper has basically taken what MFL originated
with the Dynasty platform, combining what you

275
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:26,599
might like from ESPN, Yaho's,
CBS, or any of the platform you've

276
00:17:26,599 --> 00:17:30,319
played on. It put it into
arguably the best product in the game today.

277
00:17:30,519 --> 00:17:32,920
Not to mention it being free.
That could change in the future,

278
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:34,920
but since their existence, Sleeper has
been free to play on. I bring

279
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,480
this up as a wish list.
I know because right now, if you

280
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,519
want to play on Sleeper or you
can start in the league, but you

281
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:42,720
can't transfer over a roster from a
different platform. All the leagues that I

282
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:48,480
run, I plan on transferring them
over manually this offseason from MFL to Sleeper,

283
00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:52,759
but having an automatic sync or transfer
feature for players and rookie draft picks

284
00:17:52,799 --> 00:17:56,200
would be a huge help. So
if anyone works for Sleeper that's listening or

285
00:17:56,200 --> 00:18:00,240
has connection to the company, bringing
that up as recommendation will be much appreciate.

286
00:18:00,519 --> 00:18:03,319
And I do think that if you
gave Sleeper a chance, I have

287
00:18:03,319 --> 00:18:06,799
no ties to them. It is
just pure honesty as a user of their

288
00:18:06,839 --> 00:18:11,000
app and website that you'd also agree
with me that compared to others, there's

289
00:18:11,039 --> 00:18:15,240
really no comparison anymore. Sleeper is
the best in terms of Lee communication.

290
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,160
Sending an a leade member DM sending
your lineup. Everything is just so easy

291
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:25,680
and you have all the details and
customization you could ask for to rival amifantas,

292
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:27,400
lead dot com or any other platform
that you've used in the past that

293
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:32,480
will do it. We'll be all
enjoyed my Dynasty Christmas wish List episode.

294
00:18:32,599 --> 00:18:36,039
Please reach out to me what wish
list items you have for players or your

295
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:37,680
leagues. I love to hear about
them. It's part of this show,

296
00:18:37,720 --> 00:18:40,960
interacting with me, the host,
you, the audience, the reason why

297
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,599
I keep doing this week in,
week out as a recap no particular order.

298
00:18:44,599 --> 00:18:48,000
They were t Higgins leave Cincinnati's a
free agents, Arizona decides to build

299
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:51,119
around Kyler Murray. Atlanta makes an
upgrade a quarterback for the sake of the

300
00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,359
Jon Robinson, Drake London, and
Kyle Pitts Craylon Burts takes a third year

301
00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:57,240
leap. Hennan Hooker gets a chance
to start for Detroit. Chris Gobin rebounds

302
00:18:57,279 --> 00:19:03,079
and value Sam Howell keeps Washington starting
quarterback job. Weekly doubleheader matchups become the

303
00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,039
norm to eliminate schedule variants using points
fore in favor of rightly seeding. Record

304
00:19:07,119 --> 00:19:11,039
becomes more popular for playoff seating,
and sleeper makes it easy and seamless to

305
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,960
trans over leagues from other platforms.
Thank you all again. If you celebrate

306
00:19:15,039 --> 00:19:18,880
Christmas, Merry Christmas. I hope
you all have enjoyed my content over the

307
00:19:18,880 --> 00:19:22,000
span of this year. And if
you're on track for a title, I

308
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,319
hope I can put you over the
top to win that title. That's what

309
00:19:23,359 --> 00:19:26,680
it's all about. If you're eliminated, no worries. We played dynasty.

310
00:19:26,759 --> 00:19:30,759
It's twenty four to seven three CC
five all year. Long. Time to

311
00:19:30,839 --> 00:19:33,960
hit the reset button and focus on
twenty four prospects or making smaller wholesale trades

312
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:37,759
to improve your team until free agency
and the NFL Draft start up before we

313
00:19:37,839 --> 00:19:41,359
know it in a few months.
Thank you again. Until next time,

314
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:44,480
this is the Diners you're checking out. Hope you all have a great holiday.

315
00:19:44,640 --> 00:20:00,599
See you five
