1 00:00:20,679 --> 00:00:24,160 Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Dude podcast. I'm your host, Corey 2 00:00:24,160 --> 00:00:28,920 Evans. This week's episode is titled Deep Bench Roster Stashes. This is going 3 00:00:29,399 --> 00:00:32,960 a bit more under the radar. Names you may or may not have heard 4 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:36,520 of, or at least aren't top of mind. Some are rookies, some 5 00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:41,479 are veterans, second year players. Basically a good mixture or sprinkle of players 6 00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:44,719 in different parts of their NFL careers. Before I get to that, shout 7 00:00:44,759 --> 00:00:48,640 at the Stephen who joined Patreon this week your supporting me to a ton and 8 00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:54,000 last call for the twenty percent off June promotion of a roster called Discount. 9 00:00:54,359 --> 00:00:59,119 This promotion will end after this week's episode at the end of this month of 10 00:00:59,240 --> 00:01:03,079 June. As reminder, it's twenty percent off a thirty minute or one hour 11 00:01:03,159 --> 00:01:07,079 roster call normally thirty minutes thirty bucks, one hour fifty bucks. If interested, 12 00:01:07,079 --> 00:01:11,319 to hit me up on social media Dinasy Dopod on Instagram or x the 13 00:01:11,480 --> 00:01:15,519 Dynasty Do on Facebook. Even simpler, send me an email Dinasay Doupod at 14 00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,760 gmail dot com. So again, keep in mind, these are deep bench 15 00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:23,840 roster stashes, so if you're in a twenty five thirty man DOYNASA league. 16 00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:26,239 Some of these players might not even warrants a roster spot, but if you're 17 00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,760 thirty men or above, or you have taxi squads, so more often than 18 00:01:30,799 --> 00:01:34,959 not, it's going to be applicable in your league or leagues. Some might 19 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,200 have been drafted late this year in a startup draft, rookie draft, or 20 00:01:38,239 --> 00:01:42,400 it could be some nice trade targets. Best case scenario is you could pause 21 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:45,359 this episode right now and check each and every one of these five names, 22 00:01:45,519 --> 00:01:48,560 see if they're free agent, and scoop them accordingly. Here we go, 23 00:01:48,719 --> 00:01:52,359 kicking it off with Case Washington, who's a wide receiver Atlanta Falcons. A 24 00:01:52,439 --> 00:01:56,239 rookie. He's twenty three, six round pick from Illinois, six feet two 25 00:01:56,319 --> 00:01:59,959 hundred four point four to six forty and thirty nine and a half vertical. 26 00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:02,719 Those are his protain numbers. Did not receive an invite to the combine. 27 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:07,080 And I'll be transparent up front. I do a deep dive pre draft in 28 00:02:07,159 --> 00:02:13,120 my prospect analysis, and you'll hear me explain this on Patreon when I broke 29 00:02:13,159 --> 00:02:15,560 down Washington on my wide receiver rankings, But he was not somebody that I 30 00:02:15,599 --> 00:02:20,039 even knew about. Pre draft, which I can't say happens a lot based 31 00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,599 on all the study and homework I do. As a result, I had 32 00:02:22,599 --> 00:02:25,680 to catch up on his resume and skill set post draft watch him film. 33 00:02:25,879 --> 00:02:30,240 I didn't walk away overly impressed, but he's certainly someone to keep an eye 34 00:02:30,319 --> 00:02:34,840 on as the buzz builds from OTA's and we're approaching training camp. The fact 35 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:37,840 that he did not receive a combine is worth noting. End of the day, 36 00:02:37,879 --> 00:02:40,520 though Atlanta saw something, called it out, noticed it on film, 37 00:02:40,599 --> 00:02:45,800 and the scouts made it a priority for the front office to take notes and 38 00:02:45,879 --> 00:02:50,159 warrant a six round selection. He spent five years in college with Illinois the 39 00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:53,240 Nazer pass thirty one receptions and a season until twenty twenty three with a forty 40 00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:58,120 nine, six seventy and four touchdown log, a breakout season if you will, 41 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,840 career wise average twelve point five four yards per catch on one hundred and 42 00:03:00,879 --> 00:03:05,879 twenty two career receptions. Where things get interesting and assuming Washington can make the 43 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,319 team in Atlanta, is the falcons lack of wide receiver depth on their overall 44 00:03:10,400 --> 00:03:15,159 roster. It's wide open after Drake London tear drop to Darnell Mooney, and 45 00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:20,240 then it's Ronde al Moore, Raymond McCleod representing an area of opportunity for Casey 46 00:03:20,319 --> 00:03:24,319 Washington to be a mismatch out of the slot or potentially rotational sub package option. 47 00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,800 So I wouldn't say I'd go out of my way to draft him in 48 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:30,120 one of my rookie drafts. I did not. I still have a few 49 00:03:30,199 --> 00:03:34,400 left, but I'm not going to target Casey in the fourth or fifth round. 50 00:03:34,479 --> 00:03:37,800 Instead, could be a priority after the fact on your first waiver run 51 00:03:37,919 --> 00:03:42,919 or ad drop sequence and see what happens right. Kirk Cousins as quarterback can 52 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:46,680 facilitates we saw in Minnesota time and time again. Drake London, Kyle Pitts, 53 00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:50,439 b Jon Robinson are the focal points. However, as we all know, 54 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,400 all NFL offenses need and sillery pieces. Hopefully Washington can be just that 55 00:03:54,479 --> 00:03:59,719 for the Falcons. Up next is Jared Wiley tight end Kansas City Chiefs another 56 00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,599 twenty four November, a fourth round out of TCU sixty six two forty nine 57 00:04:03,840 --> 00:04:08,759 a four point six two forty thirty seven INX vertical nine foot ten INX broad 58 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:12,800 jump. The athleticism it stands out on his tape out of TCU, he 59 00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:16,480 was something that I thought stood out based on the lanky frame and after catch 60 00:04:16,519 --> 00:04:21,040 skill sets where he operates as more of a natural receiver than traditional tight end. 61 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,920 Spent three years with Texas to a TCU. The best production came in 62 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:32,160 twenty twenty three forty seven five twenty eight touchdowns fifteen career touchdowns on ninety receptions. 63 00:04:32,240 --> 00:04:36,480 So obviously, Wiley was featured extensively in the red zone both with Texas 64 00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:41,399 and TCU. At the collegiate level, very few, if any rookie tight 65 00:04:41,480 --> 00:04:46,079 ends pan out yearly in a rookie class. I doubt that Wiley is the 66 00:04:46,079 --> 00:04:48,879 exception to the rule or Sam Laporta of this year's crop. Very unlikely. 67 00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:54,040 That being said, Travis Kelce is aging. He remains one of the premier 68 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:57,000 tight ends in all football under contract in the Chiefs till twenty twenty six, 69 00:04:57,240 --> 00:05:00,199 and is hinted at playing that contract out. We will see. It's more 70 00:05:00,199 --> 00:05:02,720 of a year to year situation, while Noah Gray has been an average backup 71 00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:06,519 as a former fifth round selection in twenty twenty one out of Duke. Therefore, 72 00:05:06,560 --> 00:05:11,199 on paper, Jered Wiley does not have an immediate path to snaps or 73 00:05:11,199 --> 00:05:15,519 playing time in twenty twenty four. Even so, he's reportedly pushing Gray already 74 00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:18,879 in OTAs and early on in practices for a role behind Travis Kelcey. There 75 00:05:18,879 --> 00:05:23,000 are a lot of mounts to feed in Kansas City, Kelsey being at the 76 00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:28,120 forefront discussion, not to mention Isaia Pacheco, rashe Rice when not suspended, 77 00:05:28,519 --> 00:05:31,680 Xavier Worthy as the prize rookie, the veteran free agent that is Markus Brown. 78 00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:36,680 So no, I'm not going to proclaim Wiley a fantasy asset this upcoming 79 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:41,680 season. That being said, when you talk about a bench roster stash in 80 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:46,240 deeper formats, especially tight end premium, Jerry Wiley comes to mind, if 81 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,839 only for the exposure to Patrick Mahomes or Andy Reid as he learns and develops 82 00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:53,839 behind one of the best ever do it at tight end at being Travis Kelcey. 83 00:05:54,120 --> 00:05:59,199 Wiley is not on the five round traditional donastauror you daft radar, but 84 00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:00,879 after the fact, or if you want to take a flyer on him late, 85 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:05,319 it makes sense. Jordan Whittington wide receiver La Rams. He's twenty four 86 00:06:05,319 --> 00:06:09,959 in October, a six round pick out of Texas this year another rookie, 87 00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:13,720 only had thirty nine career games played due to various injuries. I actually saw 88 00:06:13,759 --> 00:06:16,319 that between thirty nine to forty one games the college level, we're only talking 89 00:06:16,319 --> 00:06:20,639 about a few in terms of the differential either way. He dealed with injuries 90 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:26,120 and that sort of stalled his production with Texas in school. He's six one 91 00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:30,839 two or two, spent five years with Texas with average to solid output, 92 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:33,839 nothing spectacular, and then as the years progressed, of course, zaber Worthy 93 00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:40,560 eighty Mitchell took over as the focal points for the Longhorns passing attack. Whittington's 94 00:06:40,639 --> 00:06:44,560 final two receiving logs checked in at fifty for six fifty two and one in 95 00:06:44,639 --> 00:06:46,639 twenty twenty two and forty two for five oh five and one in twenty twenty 96 00:06:46,639 --> 00:06:49,519 three. He averaged twelve and a half yards per catch on one hundred and 97 00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:55,240 forty one prew receptions, only five touchdowns on those one hundred and forty one 98 00:06:55,240 --> 00:06:58,800 receptions, meaning he was not either a big play threat or featured in the 99 00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,319 red zone. More of his action type wide out. The Rams have an 100 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:06,680 elite wide out duo themselves, and Pookinaku and Cooper Cup without much depth behind 101 00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:12,600 it DeMarcus Robinson due to all of notes, which means Jordan Winnington if continues 102 00:07:12,639 --> 00:07:15,079 to have a positive drum beat in training camp in the preseason could a make 103 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:18,720 this team and be pushed for wide receiver three duties. He's a deep sleeper, 104 00:07:18,839 --> 00:07:23,800 hence why he's a end of bench roster stash. He missed the Combine 105 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:28,800 due to a lingering hamstring injury, so we don't have official athletic traits results 106 00:07:28,839 --> 00:07:31,600 or testing measurables to look at or evaluate. He is since, however, 107 00:07:31,639 --> 00:07:35,720 recovered, and OTA's stood out in terms of being best known for certain traits. 108 00:07:35,759 --> 00:07:39,680 There's something that stands out necessarily on film. But I will say what 109 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:43,240 I've seen repeating the Scotten reports is that he's a mismatch out of the slot 110 00:07:43,240 --> 00:07:46,439 at six one two o two, has really good work ethic and shows a 111 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:50,199 really good commitment and ability to run block, and that puts you on the 112 00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:55,360 field and on the map for playing time opportunities, maybe perhaps a first look 113 00:07:55,360 --> 00:07:59,319 at special teams, and that's how you can make an NFL team become relevant 114 00:07:59,639 --> 00:08:01,839 or a rotational player at the professional level. Time for a quick break. 115 00:08:01,839 --> 00:08:07,040 I'll be back with two more deep bench roster stashes before I get to that, 116 00:08:07,079 --> 00:08:09,319 though, If you want to support my work and gain more content or 117 00:08:09,360 --> 00:08:13,959 access to me in the process, patreons to stop and plays to do so. 118 00:08:13,319 --> 00:08:16,800 It's five hours per month at the minimum.

Time for that quick break 128 00:08:50,480 --> 00:08:58,080 and I'll be right back. Parker Washington wide receiver Jacksonville. He's twenty two, 129 00:08:58,240 --> 00:09:01,840 a six rounder out of Penn State. Last year twenty twenty three five 130 00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,639 ten two twelve with rookie production of sixteen one point thirty two and two touchdowns. 131 00:09:05,639 --> 00:09:09,799 It's eight point three yards per catch on twenty one targets. Minimal production 132 00:09:09,159 --> 00:09:13,440 and limited usage. Yet it came late in the year when Christian Kirk suffered 133 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:18,440 that season ending injury, so the data sample size is small. What I 134 00:09:18,519 --> 00:09:22,519 like about Washington now is that Jacksville's wide receiver dep chart is thin behind Christian 135 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:26,840 Kirk, Brian Thomas Junior, and Gabe Davis. No guarantee or lock that 136 00:09:26,879 --> 00:09:30,080 Parker is relevant, But I was a fan of Washington as a prospect this 137 00:09:30,159 --> 00:09:33,399 time last year because of his intriguing calag resume and physical playing style the slot. 138 00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,279 He spent three years with Penn States and delivered annual receiving logs of thirty 139 00:09:37,279 --> 00:09:41,799 six, forty nine and six sixty four eight twenty and four scores and then 140 00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:46,600 forty six, six, eleven and two, averaging thirteen point two yards per 141 00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:50,559 catch across one hundred and forty six crew receptions twelve total touchdowns over that collegiate 142 00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:54,879 span. In the NFL itself. Last year as a rookie, Parker Washington 143 00:09:54,919 --> 00:09:58,519 flashed in Week thirteen with a six catch sixty one yard effort one touchdown, 144 00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:03,279 and that when Christian Kirk departed with the injury that eventually ended his campaign, 145 00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:07,279 Parker went on to play at least twenty five snaps in Jacksonville's final six contests, 146 00:10:07,279 --> 00:10:11,279 so he was not a fixed year, but at least a Parker component 147 00:10:11,600 --> 00:10:15,600 of the Jaguars aerial attack. According to John Shipley of SI dot Com, 148 00:10:15,799 --> 00:10:20,200 Washington stood out during Otia's already this offseason and should earn a rosters spot with 149 00:10:20,279 --> 00:10:24,919 the team. Head coach Doug Peterson echoed that statement or idea when he said 150 00:10:24,919 --> 00:10:28,120 Parker has had a really good offseason to date. Listen, Calvin Ridley is 151 00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:33,120 leaving behind a void of targets which should be redistributed to Kirk, Thomas Junior, 152 00:10:33,159 --> 00:10:37,840 Gabe Davis in most capacity. Of course, Traves Etn Tank Bigsby, 153 00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:43,080 Evan Ingram also huge opponents of the offense. But Parker Washington is the forgotten 154 00:10:43,120 --> 00:10:46,799 man. He's still young, twenty two brings as I mentioned, physicality to 155 00:10:46,919 --> 00:10:50,519 the slot wide position. He's versatile, could even be on special teams. 156 00:10:50,759 --> 00:10:52,039 Not going to win you at Fantasy league, but at the end of the 157 00:10:52,159 --> 00:10:56,799 day, a deep bench roster stash that is an injury away from being fantasy 158 00:10:56,879 --> 00:11:01,000 viable weekend week out. And last, but not least, is Calvin Austin 159 00:11:01,039 --> 00:11:05,159 the third, a post type sleeper as well, for the sake of where 160 00:11:05,159 --> 00:11:09,120 he's at in his NFL tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers, twenty five years old, 161 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:11,759 a former fourth rown pick in twenty twenty two for Memphis five to nine, 162 00:11:11,879 --> 00:11:16,360 one sixty two. The size is concern, but as we've seen with 163 00:11:16,519 --> 00:11:20,519 Tank Dell among others, size is only one part of the equation in today's 164 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:24,759 game. If you have speed route running traits that can create separation, it 165 00:11:24,799 --> 00:11:30,200 doesn't matter if you're a bit undersized at wide receiver four point three to two 166 00:11:30,240 --> 00:11:33,200 speed. So Austin is a Burner thirty nine ers vertical eleven foot three inch 167 00:11:33,240 --> 00:11:39,000 broad that showcases a very appealing athletic profile that I think is forgotten at this 168 00:11:39,039 --> 00:11:43,399 point. He missed all the twenty twenty two season with a Liz Frank Sprain 169 00:11:43,639 --> 00:11:46,399 twenty twenty three seventeen one point eighty one touchdown, ten point six jus per 170 00:11:46,399 --> 00:11:50,320 catch, thirty targets. But Pittsburgh, as we know with the Kenny Picketts 171 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,200 experiment that failed, was a roller coaster of a ride. So it wasn't 172 00:11:54,240 --> 00:11:58,200 only Calvin Austin the third that struggled. It was George Pickens, who did 173 00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:03,759 emerge, but would have been a much better contributor. Same with Deontay Johnson, 174 00:12:03,799 --> 00:12:07,559 Pat Friarmuth, Mason Rudolph was average or adequate, but still quarterback was 175 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,360 a weakness for the Steelers last season. But back to Austin four years with 176 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,440 Memphis in school sixteen point three yards per catch on one hundred and fifty six 177 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,440 receptions, twenty two touchdowns. As well, the Steelers FI receiver room is 178 00:12:20,480 --> 00:12:22,360 fairly weak after George Pickens. Then you have Roan Wilson, who I like 179 00:12:22,399 --> 00:12:26,399 a lot. There's Van Jefferson Quest Watkins. Nonetheless, it leaves a path 180 00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:31,240 for Austin and carve out a significant role borrowing health it has to cooperate. 181 00:12:31,519 --> 00:12:35,039 The downside to Pittsburgh's entire passing attack is the presence of oc Arthur Smith. 182 00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:39,840 After Atlanta's offense ranked twenty ninth to pass attempts last year and ninth and Russian 183 00:12:39,840 --> 00:12:43,519 attempts. That bodes really well for Najie Harris. Jail Warren not so great 184 00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,960 at least on paper or in theory for pickins, Roman Wilson or someone like 185 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,879 Calvin Austin who can not only attribute as a receiver but be a gadget weapon 186 00:12:50,879 --> 00:12:54,879 on offense and even participate on special teams whether it comes to kickoff or punt 187 00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:58,960 returns. Out of all the names I mentioned on this show, I think 188 00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:01,960 that Calvin Austin could offer the safest floor or potentially highest seeing them because the 189 00:13:03,039 --> 00:13:05,639 role is in sight, it is expected as long as he has a sound 190 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:09,120 training camp. Hope you all enjoyed this week's episode. A quick recap of 191 00:13:09,240 --> 00:13:15,399 deep bench roster stashes. We had Casey Washington Atlanta Falcons, Jared Wiley, 192 00:13:15,519 --> 00:13:20,320 Kansas City Chiefs, Jordan Winnington, La Rams, Parker Washington, Jacksonville Jaguars, 193 00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:22,879 and Calvin Austin the third Pittsburgh Steelers.

It is a premium first discount player comparison where 204 00:14:00,399 --> 00:14:05,600 I discussed a set of two players, one being expensive high end sought after 205 00:14:05,639 --> 00:14:09,759 commodity in the other middle of the pack or cheaper version. Similar stats, 206 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:13,159 Similar outlook. Had a blast doing the research.
