Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Do Podcast. I'm your host, Corey
Evans. This week's episode is titled post Hype Sleepers. I have five names
who at some point were sought after prospects with either ample draft capital or bright
outlooks as rookies or upcoming sophomores. At one point in time, we all
were bought into the hype. Hence the post Hype Sleepers. Now is a
sound time to invest in them, while the price is cheaper than it once
was when they entered the NFL. My promotion from Mother June on this podcast
is twenty percent off roster calls. Those are normally thirty bucks thirty minutes or
fifty bucks one hour. If interested, hit me up. That's dynast to
do Pod, Instagram or Twitter, slash x the Dynasty on Facebook or Dynasty
dopodigemail dot com to schedule a roster call. Those are her strategy rookie drafts,
just assessing your team, what I would do in your shoes. Don't
hesitate to reach out, take advantage of the twenty percent off per motion.
All right, here we go. Up first is Jelanie Woods. He's twenty
six in October six seven, two hundred and fifty three pounds with a four
point six y one forty which is impressive when it comes to side speed ratio
and just overauthentic ability. He's a former third round selection out of Virginia from
twenty twenty two who emerged during his final year in school with the receiving log
of forty four five ninety eight and eight for thirteen point six yards per catch.
As a rookie twenty twenty two with the Colts, it was a twenty
five three, twelve and three receiving line, twelve and a half yards perception
on forty targets and fifteen games played. Solid, not spectacular, but for
a rookie tight end, not all that bad. Fast forward to his software
campaign in twenty twenty three, zero games played. He had lingering hamstring injuries
which were serious to miss an entire NFL calendar year. He has now returned
to the field OTA's he's impressing by most all accounts. Head coach of the
Colts, Shane Steichen has noted the different things you can do with Jolanni based
on his size and national athleticism both during the catch point and after with his
receiver instincts and traits. Despite the six seven two fifty three body frame,
I think Woods is most dangerous as a seamstretching receiver and in the red zone
with the aforementioned size and overall wingspan catch radius. The Colts tight end room
is the one downside taking a fire or risk on Woods, because it's Will
Mallory who showed some promise out of Miami good straight line speed, Colin Grantson
who's been adequate when throwing the football too were targeted, and then Moiley Cox,
who has in a similar sense to Jolnny Woods, a bigger framed tight
end. In terms of usage, Colts tight ends collectively scored six touchdowns in
twenty twenty three, small sample size, with Anthony Richardson otherwise it was Gardner
minshe So all in all, I do think that Jelani Woods could become tight
end one for the Colts. It was not a position that was prioritized in
the draft or prior for agency. Therefore, if healthy, Johnny Woods seems
to be the out end favorite to lead the Colts among tight ends in pure
volume or counting stats. In terms of what I would pay to acquire Woods
right now, a late third seems like a fair price tag if it's tight
end premium might be in early to mid third. Jalen Hyatt is twenty three
in September. He's six feet one point eighty five, but they stand out
without a profile including a four point four to ho forty yard dash, forty
inch vertical and eleven foot three inch broad In terms of pure stylistic and analytical
comp when Hyatt was a prospect, it's will Fuller, if will Fuller could
stay healthy. Third round selection last year out of Tennessee was Jalen Hyatt.
It was only twenty three grabs for three hundred and seventy three scoreless yards.
That is a bit disappointing. Sixteen point two yards per grab is at least
showcasing the big play skill set. It was on forty targets in seventeen games
played. There was really only two standout showings. It was eighty nine yards
in week two and then one hundred and nine yards in week twelve when Daniel
Jones towards ACL it was a combination of Tyron Taylor and Tommy DeVito. So
the fact that Hyatt didn't have a lot to work with let alone didn't see
the necessary playing time to excel in year one shouldn't necessarily put you off of
him moving forward. The downside was that Hyatt had ten yards or fewer receiving
and ten different contests last year. That provides next to a non existent floor
the ceiling it was only two spike weeks. Everything else was borderline unplayable.
He was a bench commodity for a majority of twenty twenty three. He did,
however, flourish during his final collegian season in school that was in twenty
twenty two. Hyatt went sixty seven for twelve sixty seven and fifteen touchdowns,
and he averaged sixteen point four yards per catch on one hundred and eight receptions
Across the three years with Tennessee. Hyatt has now the opportunity to become the
Giants wide receiver two or backup opposite Melite Neighbors. Other competition receiver includes Darius
Slayton, who is essentially going to be the other starter out wide because Wandeale
Robinson's expected to function out of the slot. If that holds true, Thennet's
Darius Slayton verse Jalen Hyatt for that wide receiver two or three. Roll sure
Slayton has the veteran edge and more consistency over his career arc. However,
Hyatt's fantasy ceiling is much higher, even if he's a rotational player. To
start his sophomore campaign. To acquire Hyatt right now, a mid to late
third should get the job done. I still am a fan. I was
a major advocate of him as a prospect, mostly from the Tennessee production,
even though the scheme's a bit gimmicky when comparing apples to apples where the college
scene spread offense, NFL nowhere near the same personnel grouping. So that's the
reason why I think Hyatt has a bit more to develop across the board,
route running and overall fundamentals or understanding what he needs to do to be a
complete receiver. But the upside is certainly big in to what he can accomplish,
especially if Daniel Jones is healthy. Milik Nighbor's going to be the target
hall command a lot of attention. Hyatt could be the field streuccher or big
play threats to warrant our attention as a post hype sleeper in fantasy football.
How about Rashad Bateman been a lot of buzz surrounding his name lately, he'll
be twenty five in November, six to one one to ninety seven, the
twenty seventh overall pick in twenty twenty one out of Minnesota, he was a
big slot mismatch somehout wide, but mostly just took advantage of the middle of
the field with great yard to catch skills. Twenty twenty one with the Ravens,
it was a forty six five pint, fifteen one log, eleven point
two yards perception that was sixty eight targets and twelve games played. Solid rookie
campaign by most accounts. Sophomore twenty twenty two fifteen to eighty five and two
for nineteen yards perception, twenty eight targets, but only seven games played,
so fewer opportunities to showcase what he's capable of. Twenty twenty three was thirty
two three sixty seven and one for eleven and a half yards per catch.
That was fifty six targets and sixteen games played, so the stats aren't popping
off the page. Fortunately, though Bateman was able to stay healthy on the
field last season. The NFL JR history is what has most people out on
Bateman as a bust he had a growing strain in August to twenty twenty one,
a growing pull in November twenty twenty one, probably connected in some way,
shape or form, or a lingering effect, the dreaded Liz Frank's brain
in October twenty twenty two, and then last year's hamstring string pull in September
twenty twenty three. All in all, Rashaan Bateman missed sixteen games from twenty
twenty one to twenty twenty two, which put his NFL future in question,
let alone his short term dynasty stock. He did recently sign a two year
extension with the Ravens to ensure job security. The question is if for Shot
can be healthy remain in the field. He's virtually guaranteed a starting job opposite
Zay Flowers for twenty twenty four, and that is I think a bit underrated
or underspoken in the fantasy football sense. Volume is to make concern around his
value because you have Derek Henry Mark Andrewsay Flowers all operating as focal points in
Baltimore's run first offensive attack under Todd Mockin that being said, if the goal
is to incorporate Rashaw Baateman more from here on out, then we have to
believe all of the hype, hence him being a post type sleeper. Most
people, including myself, are not going to anoints Rashat Bateman a week one
starter, even in the deepest of twelve fourteen team leagues with multiple flex spots.
It's more of a prove it then we'll believe it sort of scenario.
In terms of cost right now, a late second, early mid third should
suffice and be fair for both a buyer and seller for Bateman services. I
don't want to overreact all of the puff pieces out of early OTAs in camp,
but I will admit when there's smoke, there's usually fire, and right
now there's consistent drum beat in Baltimore's circle of news or rumor mill that Bateman
the plans for him to become a starter and more of a key opponent on
offense from here on out. Time for a quick break. I'll be back
with two more post type sleepers. Should be targeting dynasty leagues before I get
to that. If you're enjoying this episode, if you've learned anything, please

about priority running back handcuffs, so a cool concept that could offer standalone value
or even be a bit under the radar in terms of who should be considering
to roster as a backup running back that might not be a household name be
right back after a quick break. The next post type sleeper is Antonio Gibson,
now with New England, twenty six years old this month in June six
feet to twenty eight. Forget how he has built more like a larger wide
receiver then running back. It gives him a chance to form a solid RBBC
with Romandre Stevenson on earlier passing downs. I will say in redraft, I
prefer Remandre, but in Dynasty, given the cost differential, give me Antonio
and Gibson instead. Former third round pick out of Memphis back in twenty twenty,
his best season with Washington came back in twenty twenty one. It was
two for the eight ten thirty seven and seven for four yards per carre as
a rusher, and we really thought that he was Christian McCaffrey light based on
all of the rhetoric out of Washington, let alone the usage. And then
we look now to twenty twenty three when he went sixty five for two CG
five and one for four point one yards per carry, and we see that
that was all over exaggerated. Gibson has struggled with their ability. The fumbles
are a big glaring weakness. More to come in that soon, But what
keeps me interested in Rostering Gibson is the versatility and the receiving component or element
of his skill set. Receptions per season so far of thirty six forty two
forty six forty eight, that's one seventy two in total, it's oh so
consistent, and then tar per year forty four, fifty two, fifty eight,
and fifty nine. If the rushing workload increases not to the twenty twenty
one level, but more than twenty twenty three, and we already have the
assumed receiving role, Gibson could be a very cheap RB two if not flex
an ideal RB three or RB four and dynasty formats. And if New England
is as bad as projected in twenty twenty four, starting with Brissette pivoting eventually
to Drake May, then there should be plenty of negative game script, which
blends well with Gibson's ability and versatility as a pass catcher. Not to mention,
cannot forget that as a free agent signed a lucrative contract with the Patriots.
It was three years for just shy twelve million, five point three million
guaranteed. That's a hefty price tag for a running back now approaching the back
end of his twenties. The concern as I mentioned are alluded to surrounding Antonio.
Gibson was and remains ball security twelve career fumbles, eight of which have
been lost, and that cost him playing time and the trust of the coaching
staff in Washington. Those fumbles since entering the NFL, which was in twenty
two twenty actually ranked third most. So ball security has to be a focal
point, and perhaps that's why Gibson is now more of a third down satellite
weapon who could sprinkle in to spell or mandre Stevenson. However, if Stevenson
were to miss time, Gibson could be a plug and PLAYERB two with RB
one upside if volume supports it. What would it cost to acquire Gibson?
I have not seen too many trades honestly for him, but I'd start with
an early to mid third. It might cost you a eight second, which,
based on this Stree's running back class, isn't all that far fetched.
It's reasonable for the money both guaranteed and the length of contract, at least
in the sense of being a post type sleeper in fantasy football, there's a
lot more upside than downside. Moving forward with the Patriots. And then,
last, but not least, it's Darnell Mooney now at Atlanta twenty seven in
October five to eleven, a buck seventy seven, a former fifth rounder in
twenty twenty from Tulane. He spent four seasons with the Bears with his Best
Campaign company. In twenty twenty one, it was output of eighty one ten
fifty five and four one hundred and forty targets thirteen yards per scon option.
Twenty twenty three was a far cry from that thirty one four to fourteen one
touchdown thirteen point four yards per catch that was on sixty one targets and fifteen
games played. Mooney's targets per season are ninety eight one forty, sixty one,
sixty one. So the outlier there is clearly twenty twenty one and the
one forty. I don't think that we'll see that level of usage again.
He is not a true one, more of a two or high end three
for even real life team. That being said, there's a legitimate chance that
Darna Mooney can assert himself as wide receiver two for Atlanta alongside Drake London,
with Rondeo Moore being a gadget and nor slot weapon even special teams contributor.
The only other main threat for volume is obviously Bijon Robinson and Kyle Pitts.
That's the issue is Mooney's upside is somewhat limited because he could end up fourth
in the line in a best case scenario four volume, behind Bijon, London
and Pits. The other part to bring up here, though, is that
Atlanta committed and prioritized a huge amount of money to Mooney's a free agent this
offseason. Three years, thirty nine million, twenty six million guaranteed. That
is a lot of money when Atlanta could have gone various directions with that amount
of funds. If you want to try to acquire Mooney, I'd say at
late third is relatively fair. You know that the ceiling is probably not a
wide receiver too. He could be a wide out three or a flex but
tied to Zach Robinson as EOC in Atlanta and knowing that Drake London, Kyle
Pittsbijan are going to have eyes and defensive attention glued to them at all times.
Mooney is the athle thought and that in and of itself could provide a
very safe floor stable not a high ceiling asset, but you don't need high
ceiling players to win in your Donash league. Sometimes it's finding the undervalue talent
or diamonds in the rough, and I think that's Darnell Mooney, who is
without a doubt at least right now based on price, a post hype sleeper.
