I have up first, Dak Prescott. He turns thirty one next July,
so age isn't necessarily a major factor in his assessment of value at UFA in
twenty twenty five, so contract is set to expire here shortly from weeks one
to five. Dak was in the hot seat with only five touchdowns to four
interceptions. That ratio was subparer along with his peripheral stats as a passer across
the board. He turned a corner, however, in Week six and has
been delivering elite value in fantasy since Dallas returned from its week seven by Let's
go week by week. Week eight versus La Rams three and four yards passing,
four touchdowns, one pick, four carries nineteen yards. Week nine at
Philadelphia tough matchup. Three seventy four through the air, three touchdowns, zero
interceptions, six rushes fourteen yards. Week ten versus the Giants four h four
as a passer, four touchdowns, one pick, two seventeen and a touchdown
on the ground. Week eleven at Carolina, easy matchup, disappointed a bit
with only a buck eighty nine as a passer, two touchdowns, no picks,
two carries six yards, and then Week twelve versus Washington talk about being
thankful one people weeks three point thirty one as a passer, four touchdowns,
no interceptions, one rush for ten yards. Dak Prescott is completing exactly seventy
percent of his passes in twenty twenty three for seven point nine yards per attempt
with twenty three touchdowns to a mere six interceptions. Life without oc Kellen Moore,
who's now with the Chargers, of course, seeing dustin for failure on
paper or at least early on the season with that sample size that alluded to
of weeks one to five, or Dak was barely startable as a quarterback two
in fantasy. Since then, though, Prescott and the Cowboys have made improvements
in sport one of the NFL's best offensive units from a per game to even
per drive level of comparing Mac rovers Micro that has amounted to an eight and
three record. Dak Prescott locked in as a quarterback one for Dynasty for the
foreseeable future. I'd be surprised if Dallas moved on from him, even Mtray
Lance waiting in the wings behind him. Dak Prescott went healthy, has proven
to be as dialed in as any other passer, with even some versatility to
show for as a rusher despite that serious ankle injury had a few years ago.
So yes, I am thankful for Deak Prescott. He'skept a few of
my Dynasa team to float and he's really entered the MVP conversation when it's all
said and done. Jayden Reid twenty three years old. He's a rookie to
be thankful for second rounder out of Mission State. He's five to eleven one
eighty seven. Began his first year off to a slow start outside of four
thirty seven two touchdown spike game in Week two in Atlanta. Since Green Bay
returned for its Week six by Jayden, Reed has become a focal point on
offense. Week seven at Denver three twenty one for a touchdown on four targets.
Week eight fors Minnesota four grabs eighty three yards on six targets. Week
nine versus Rams three grabs nineteen yards on three targets, one rush twenty one
yards. Ten at Pittsburgh was five eighty four in a touchdown on five targets.
Week eleven versus Chargers four for forty six as a receiver on six targets,
three carries forty six yards and a touchdown as a rusher. And then
Week twelve, Thanksgiving at Detroit four thirty four one is receiver, eight targets
chipped in two rushes sixteen yards. The usage is spiked, the production relying
heavily on touchdown sure has increased enters now week thirteen with lags of thirty six
four to ninety seven five as a receiver on fifty nine targets for thirteen pointy
yards per catch, mind you, and then seven eighty one one running the
football. Jaden was somewhat of a divisive prospect in the college football NFL pre
draft space because the collegian output was inferior to what we all noticed for the
most part on tape and his standout football traits. His best college season came
in twenty twenty one fifty nine ten twenty six to ten for seventeen point four
yards per catch. Reid didn't test all that well either at the combine compared
to his wideceiver peers who were first or second rounders in this year's class.
A four point four to five forty yard dash, thirty three and a half
viage vertical, and a ten foot one inch broad jump goes to show that
those measurables are important and a part of the prospect the evaluation puzzle. But
Jaden reed is a better football player than natural athlete, and he has instincts
that supersede and he concerns he has athletically compared to other rooky wideouts in the
twenty twenty three crop. Well, I don't think that Jayden will be as
consistent as he's been over rembas past contests. There's certainly wide receivers to potential
for him in Dynasty from here on out. He's an excellent compliment out of
the slot to Christian Watson and Romeo Dobbs. Luke muskrave Won healthy, We'll
see how the Aaron Jones AJ Dillon split is rest of season, let alone
in twenty twenty four. Regardless, though, of Jayden Reid's draft evaluation,
as I mentioned, it was very polarizing, there's no denying the fact that
his versatile skill set as a receiver and rusher is a nice scheme fit for
what Matt Lafleair brings to the Packers offense. Season high and snaps so far
seventy eight percent Week eight, season lowe snaps deb thirty nine percent Week nine.
Therefore, we cannot assume that Jayden Reid is a full time player to
this point, but he's settling in from a fantasy perspective as an every week
wide receiver with three or flex with baked in upsock more production. If he
finds the end zone. That's why I think he's overachieving a bit compared to
what Christian Watson Romeo Dobbs could be For the sake of this offense. Reed's
been finding the end zone at will. That's not going to be a sustainable
stat weekend. We got let alone year in, year out. But you
have to be thrilled if you spent a late second, early mid third on
Jaydon Reid. So let's be thanking for the stats he's already compiled and what
his future holds with the Packers organization. Brandon Ayuk. He's twenty five years
old, former twenty fifth overall pick out of Arizona State back in twenty twenty.
It's been a wild ride for Ayuk in San Francisco Underkyle Shanahan, since
he's transitioned from being in the coach's doghouse now operating as a forty nine ers
true wide receiver. One you all know, as fans in my work that
I was always Ayuk greater signed d Will in terms of value. It's taking
time to get to that point, but Auk always had the measurables, the
wingspan, the college production and after the catch skills. To dominate in Shanahan's
system. Let's go Year by year twenty twenty eight sixty seven, forty eight
five line, ninety six targets PPR, PI receiver thirty five twenty twenty one
is a sophomore fifty six eight twenty six, five eighty four targets again right
in the dot, wy receiver thirty five and full PPR. Twenty twenty two
was a breakout season for Ayuk seventy eight ten to fifteen eight his first one
thousand yard campaign, one hundred and fourteen targets the wide receiver fifteen and full
PPR. He was a strong wide receiver two almost wide receiver one I'm that
CUSP twenty twenty three so far ten games played forty five eight eighty one to
five on sixty five targets, averaging a career best nineteen point six yards perketch.
Getting it done when it comes to staticcumulation, let alone efficiency. With
nineteen point six yards per ketch on sixty five targets, Ayuk has scored a
receiving touchdown now in three consecutive games. He's on fire. Double DOGPPR showings
in eight of ten games played to dates and he just missed the two that
he didn't hit that threshold. He has four one hundred plus yard efforts on
the year, one twenty nine at Pittsburgh, one forty eight for Arizona,
one one nine very Cincinnati, and one fifty six Percampa Bay, showcasing a
safe floor and a true which ever one ceiling if there's one downside to Brandon,
Ayu's twenty twenty three usage so far said his targets are a bit inconsistent
due to fluctuation per week of CMC, George Kittle, Deebo Samuel, all
the forty nine ers other offensive weapons have put Ayuk in a safe but not
uber reliable target share role. Per week, we have eight six, six,
seven, ten, six, nine, three, six and four.
So the median numbers there are lower end. I mean that he has to
be really effective to pan out as a wide receiver two or wide receiver three
that given week. But when he gets more volume, you know it's a
great defensive matchup. And Or Shanahan is focused on utilizing Ayuk to have a
big game. He is under contract till the twenty twenty five. It'll be
interesting to see if the forty nine ers commit to him long term, or
if Ayuk becomes a premier wide out in the free agent market and cashes in
on a lucrative contract. At this point, it seems unlikely that he will
be let go out of San Francisco. You never know, Deebo Samuel.
He mains plenty involved, as we saw in Meek twelve at Seattle, especially
when teams defensively use zone coverage. Debu just eats up zone coverage and Shanahan
is so creative and using him out of the backfield slot out wide. That's
when Au takes more of a back seat, but Mann demand coverage or even
press up the line of scrimmage is where I simply dominates. He isn't a
set it and forget it? Whyde receiver one in Dynasty due to at times,
as I mentioned that vital target share, yet we're talking locked in rock
solid wide receiver two to with why was everyone spike week? So anyone with
shares of Ayuk and Redraft or Dynasty have to be very thankful for what he's
done this season, but also the trajectory you're seeing now from twenty twenty through
twenty twenty two. He's becoming a consistent annual receiver, which shows that the
talent and draft capital out of Arizona State in twenty twenty were in the legitimate
forty nine ers hit goal with Brandon Ayuk high for a quick break, and
then two more players that we should all be thankful for in fantasy football.
Up next is Tyreek Hill. He turns thirty in March. He's on pace
to become the first ever wide receiver to record a two thousand yard receiving season
in NFL history. That would be quite the achievement. And there's Week thirteen
with an eighty eight thirteen, twenty four ten log, one hundred and twenty
targets. How about double LEGPPR showings in all eleven games played to date.
The dilemma in Dynasty with Tyreek evaluating him is where to properly rank him comparison
to younger top tier wideouts, since few can match his ceiling in the short
term. Despite the longevity concerns that are working against Hill, don't forget that
during the offseason back in April, Tyreek brought up his plan to retire after
finishing up his current contract with the Dolphins. That's going to conclude in twenty
twenty seven, with keep in mind if possible out in twenty twenty five.
In other words, Tyreek should be a wide receiver one for at least one
to two more Fans football seasons. Beyond that, we can't guarantee he's going
to sign new extension and or play beyond his current terms. Looking back,
it's comical that most of the Fans football community rode off Tyreek after he was
traded from Casey to Miami, since he went on a set career best marks
and receptions, those being one hundred and nineteen yards receiving one thousand, seven
hundred and ten and targets won seventy during his first year with the Dolphins in
twenty twenty two, and he could crush those totals in twenty twenty three with
still about a quarter of the season left. The only wide outs that I
have ranked above Hill in Dynasty from my latest Patreon rankings are Justin Jefferson,
Jamark, Chase, Ceedee, lamb Aj Brown, I'm gonna Saint Brown,
Garrett Wilson. Quite honestly, depending on how aggressive you are or tim comes
to factoring in age to your ranking model or value outlook, Tyreek could be
ranked as high as wide receiver three or four. I do think that Jefferson
Chase are a Locke, same with Lamb. But if you want to put
Tyreek above AJ Brown, I have no problem with that simply based on age,
I'm going to rank AJ Brown, Amnron, Garret Wilson ahead of Tyreek
speaking in startup draft terms or even existing league, where the only reason you'd
really prioritize Tyreek there is if you were a cricker tender you want to win
a championship. For the next few seasons, he continues to offer one of
the highest ceilings of any player in Fantasy, regardless of age or position.
So in behalf of all of us, thank you Tyreek Hill for propelling a
lot of teams to the Fantasy playoffs and probably winning people leagues in twenty twenty
three. And last but not least, one of my personal favorites is a
prospect last season in terms of being one of my better mid round calls to
draft a lot of shares of was Kyra Williams. He's only twenty three fifth
rounder twenty twenty two at Notre Dame who was used sparingly as a rookie in
ten games played with logs of thirty five or one to thirty nine on the
ground for four yards per clip, and then now nine for seventy six on
twelve targets minimal usage. Cam Akers was the assumed RB one for the Rams
this season before Williams took off in Week one as a team's featured tailback.
From weeks one to six, Kyen ranked as a PPR RB four before sustaining
that ankle sprain resulted in him missing week seven to eleven with the Rams by
included during that span week ten, his snap rates throw from heaks one to
six, we're sixty five percent, ninety five, one hundred seventy two,
eighty four and eighty two. That's lions share usage. Outside of Week one
continue to climb, climb, climb, before the ankle injury derailed his otherwise
breakout campaign. Williams since returned to superstar status in Week twelve at Arizona with
sixteen carries for one hundred and four to three yards as a rusher and then
six sixty one two as a receiver with only a sixty one percent snapshare.
The Rams sack control of this game for most of the game, which led
to Kien taking a backseat to Royce Freeman and eventually being phased out of the
game itself. Enters Week thirteen now with total production of one to thirteen for
five ninety nine six touchdowns as a rusher five point three yards per clip incredibly
efficient, and then nineteen for one city six and three touchdowns on thirty targets.
Good to see the dual threat usage in play under contract of the Rams
till twenty twenty six. In my mind, it then makes little sense for
the franchise to allocate early twenty twenty four draft capital day one or even Day
two pick two running back. Based on Kyron's twenty twenty three breakout, he
is what seems to be a great fit for Sean McVay in the offense.
In general, size is the one concern four Williams at five ninety four in
terms of longevity year over year in the NFL, and again he functioned as
a complete back Notre Dame with four hundred and nineteen career Russian attempts along with
seventy eight receptions. I'm a Noteame fan. If you watch college football and
you have your school, you are fully aware of utilization. And I've watched
so many notreame games that I knew that Kyron had this skill set and played
bigger than his size. The issue was a straight line speed tested point.
The combine, in addition to fifth round draft capital, putting him against normal
odds to succeed or become a possible fantasy stud. Yet here we are start
Kyron as a surefire RB one rest of the season in all formats. At
this point, he's easily worth a twenty twenty four first belongs in the top
twenty four of Donas Running Back rankings. He's my RB twenty one in the
mid season update over on Patreon, and a case can be made to move
him up even further if he's able to keep up his current pace. In
the back of my mind, I still think that the work leads you to
be scaled back a bit to keep him healthy and available rest of the season
and to prolong his NFL career. Otherwise, you have to be incredibly thankful
for what he's done from least one to six, and is returned to the
field in week twelve, Kyra Williams legitimately could be a league winner in twenty
twenty three. That will do it. Hope you all enjoyed my players to
be thankful for episode. If you want to send me a message with the
