Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Dude podcast. I'm your host, Corey
Evans. This week's episode is titled Deep Bench Roster Stashes. This is going
a bit more under the radar. Names you may or may not have heard
of, or at least aren't top of mind. Some are rookies, some
are veterans, second year players. Basically a good mixture or sprinkle of players
in different parts of their NFL careers. Before I get to that, shout
at the Stephen who joined Patreon this week your supporting me to a ton and
last call for the twenty percent off June promotion of a roster called Discount.
This promotion will end after this week's episode at the end of this month of
June. As reminder, it's twenty percent off a thirty minute or one hour
roster call normally thirty minutes thirty bucks, one hour fifty bucks. If interested,
to hit me up on social media Dinasy Dopod on Instagram or x the
Dynasty Do on Facebook. Even simpler, send me an email Dinasay Doupod at
gmail dot com. So again, keep in mind, these are deep bench
roster stashes, so if you're in a twenty five thirty man DOYNASA league.
Some of these players might not even warrants a roster spot, but if you're
thirty men or above, or you have taxi squads, so more often than
not, it's going to be applicable in your league or leagues. Some might
have been drafted late this year in a startup draft, rookie draft, or
it could be some nice trade targets. Best case scenario is you could pause
this episode right now and check each and every one of these five names,
see if they're free agent, and scoop them accordingly. Here we go,
kicking it off with Case Washington, who's a wide receiver Atlanta Falcons. A
rookie. He's twenty three, six round pick from Illinois, six feet two
hundred four point four to six forty and thirty nine and a half vertical.
Those are his protain numbers. Did not receive an invite to the combine.
And I'll be transparent up front. I do a deep dive pre draft in
my prospect analysis, and you'll hear me explain this on Patreon when I broke
down Washington on my wide receiver rankings, But he was not somebody that I
even knew about. Pre draft, which I can't say happens a lot based
on all the study and homework I do. As a result, I had
to catch up on his resume and skill set post draft watch him film.
I didn't walk away overly impressed, but he's certainly someone to keep an eye
on as the buzz builds from OTA's and we're approaching training camp. The fact
that he did not receive a combine is worth noting. End of the day,
though Atlanta saw something, called it out, noticed it on film,
and the scouts made it a priority for the front office to take notes and
warrant a six round selection. He spent five years in college with Illinois the
Nazer pass thirty one receptions and a season until twenty twenty three with a forty
nine, six seventy and four touchdown log, a breakout season if you will,
career wise average twelve point five four yards per catch on one hundred and
twenty two career receptions. Where things get interesting and assuming Washington can make the
team in Atlanta, is the falcons lack of wide receiver depth on their overall
roster. It's wide open after Drake London tear drop to Darnell Mooney, and
then it's Ronde al Moore, Raymond McCleod representing an area of opportunity for Casey
Washington to be a mismatch out of the slot or potentially rotational sub package option.
So I wouldn't say I'd go out of my way to draft him in
one of my rookie drafts. I did not. I still have a few
left, but I'm not going to target Casey in the fourth or fifth round.
Instead, could be a priority after the fact on your first waiver run
or ad drop sequence and see what happens right. Kirk Cousins as quarterback can
facilitates we saw in Minnesota time and time again. Drake London, Kyle Pitts,
b Jon Robinson are the focal points. However, as we all know,
all NFL offenses need and sillery pieces. Hopefully Washington can be just that
for the Falcons. Up next is Jared Wiley tight end Kansas City Chiefs another
twenty four November, a fourth round out of TCU sixty six two forty nine
a four point six two forty thirty seven INX vertical nine foot ten INX broad
jump. The athleticism it stands out on his tape out of TCU, he
was something that I thought stood out based on the lanky frame and after catch
skill sets where he operates as more of a natural receiver than traditional tight end.
Spent three years with Texas to a TCU. The best production came in
twenty twenty three forty seven five twenty eight touchdowns fifteen career touchdowns on ninety receptions.
So obviously, Wiley was featured extensively in the red zone both with Texas
and TCU. At the collegiate level, very few, if any rookie tight
ends pan out yearly in a rookie class. I doubt that Wiley is the
exception to the rule or Sam Laporta of this year's crop. Very unlikely.
That being said, Travis Kelce is aging. He remains one of the premier
tight ends in all football under contract in the Chiefs till twenty twenty six,
and is hinted at playing that contract out. We will see. It's more
of a year to year situation, while Noah Gray has been an average backup
as a former fifth round selection in twenty twenty one out of Duke. Therefore,
on paper, Jered Wiley does not have an immediate path to snaps or
playing time in twenty twenty four. Even so, he's reportedly pushing Gray already
in OTAs and early on in practices for a role behind Travis Kelcey. There
are a lot of mounts to feed in Kansas City, Kelsey being at the
forefront discussion, not to mention Isaia Pacheco, rashe Rice when not suspended,
Xavier Worthy as the prize rookie, the veteran free agent that is Markus Brown.
So no, I'm not going to proclaim Wiley a fantasy asset this upcoming
season. That being said, when you talk about a bench roster stash in
deeper formats, especially tight end premium, Jerry Wiley comes to mind, if
only for the exposure to Patrick Mahomes or Andy Reid as he learns and develops
behind one of the best ever do it at tight end at being Travis Kelcey.
Wiley is not on the five round traditional donastauror you daft radar, but
after the fact, or if you want to take a flyer on him late,
it makes sense. Jordan Whittington wide receiver La Rams. He's twenty four
in October, a six round pick out of Texas this year another rookie,
only had thirty nine career games played due to various injuries. I actually saw
that between thirty nine to forty one games the college level, we're only talking
about a few in terms of the differential either way. He dealed with injuries
and that sort of stalled his production with Texas in school. He's six one
two or two, spent five years with Texas with average to solid output,
nothing spectacular, and then as the years progressed, of course, zaber Worthy
eighty Mitchell took over as the focal points for the Longhorns passing attack. Whittington's
final two receiving logs checked in at fifty for six fifty two and one in
twenty twenty two and forty two for five oh five and one in twenty twenty
three. He averaged twelve and a half yards per catch on one hundred and
forty one prew receptions, only five touchdowns on those one hundred and forty one
receptions, meaning he was not either a big play threat or featured in the
red zone. More of his action type wide out. The Rams have an
elite wide out duo themselves, and Pookinaku and Cooper Cup without much depth behind
it DeMarcus Robinson due to all of notes, which means Jordan Winnington if continues
to have a positive drum beat in training camp in the preseason could a make
this team and be pushed for wide receiver three duties. He's a deep sleeper,
hence why he's a end of bench roster stash. He missed the Combine
due to a lingering hamstring injury, so we don't have official athletic traits results
or testing measurables to look at or evaluate. He is since, however,
recovered, and OTA's stood out in terms of being best known for certain traits.
There's something that stands out necessarily on film. But I will say what
I've seen repeating the Scotten reports is that he's a mismatch out of the slot
at six one two o two, has really good work ethic and shows a
really good commitment and ability to run block, and that puts you on the
field and on the map for playing time opportunities, maybe perhaps a first look
at special teams, and that's how you can make an NFL team become relevant
or a rotational player at the professional level. Time for a quick break.
I'll be back with two more deep bench roster stashes before I get to that,

and I'll be right back. Parker Washington wide receiver Jacksonville. He's twenty two,
a six rounder out of Penn State. Last year twenty twenty three five
ten two twelve with rookie production of sixteen one point thirty two and two touchdowns.
It's eight point three yards per catch on twenty one targets. Minimal production
and limited usage. Yet it came late in the year when Christian Kirk suffered
that season ending injury, so the data sample size is small. What I
like about Washington now is that Jacksville's wide receiver dep chart is thin behind Christian
Kirk, Brian Thomas Junior, and Gabe Davis. No guarantee or lock that
Parker is relevant, But I was a fan of Washington as a prospect this
time last year because of his intriguing calag resume and physical playing style the slot.
He spent three years with Penn States and delivered annual receiving logs of thirty
six, forty nine and six sixty four eight twenty and four scores and then
forty six, six, eleven and two, averaging thirteen point two yards per
catch across one hundred and forty six crew receptions twelve total touchdowns over that collegiate
span. In the NFL itself. Last year as a rookie, Parker Washington
flashed in Week thirteen with a six catch sixty one yard effort one touchdown,
and that when Christian Kirk departed with the injury that eventually ended his campaign,
Parker went on to play at least twenty five snaps in Jacksonville's final six contests,
so he was not a fixed year, but at least a Parker component
of the Jaguars aerial attack. According to John Shipley of SI dot Com,
Washington stood out during Otia's already this offseason and should earn a rosters spot with
the team. Head coach Doug Peterson echoed that statement or idea when he said
Parker has had a really good offseason to date. Listen, Calvin Ridley is
leaving behind a void of targets which should be redistributed to Kirk, Thomas Junior,
Gabe Davis in most capacity. Of course, Traves Etn Tank Bigsby,
Evan Ingram also huge opponents of the offense. But Parker Washington is the forgotten
man. He's still young, twenty two brings as I mentioned, physicality to
the slot wide position. He's versatile, could even be on special teams.
Not going to win you at Fantasy league, but at the end of the
day, a deep bench roster stash that is an injury away from being fantasy
viable weekend week out. And last, but not least, is Calvin Austin
the third, a post type sleeper as well, for the sake of where
he's at in his NFL tenure with the Pittsburgh Steelers, twenty five years old,
a former fourth rown pick in twenty twenty two for Memphis five to nine,
one sixty two. The size is concern, but as we've seen with
Tank Dell among others, size is only one part of the equation in today's
game. If you have speed route running traits that can create separation, it
doesn't matter if you're a bit undersized at wide receiver four point three to two
speed. So Austin is a Burner thirty nine ers vertical eleven foot three inch
broad that showcases a very appealing athletic profile that I think is forgotten at this
point. He missed all the twenty twenty two season with a Liz Frank Sprain
twenty twenty three seventeen one point eighty one touchdown, ten point six jus per
catch, thirty targets. But Pittsburgh, as we know with the Kenny Picketts
experiment that failed, was a roller coaster of a ride. So it wasn't
only Calvin Austin the third that struggled. It was George Pickens, who did
emerge, but would have been a much better contributor. Same with Deontay Johnson,
Pat Friarmuth, Mason Rudolph was average or adequate, but still quarterback was
a weakness for the Steelers last season. But back to Austin four years with
Memphis in school sixteen point three yards per catch on one hundred and fifty six
receptions, twenty two touchdowns. As well, the Steelers FI receiver room is
fairly weak after George Pickens. Then you have Roan Wilson, who I like
a lot. There's Van Jefferson Quest Watkins. Nonetheless, it leaves a path
for Austin and carve out a significant role borrowing health it has to cooperate.
The downside to Pittsburgh's entire passing attack is the presence of oc Arthur Smith.
After Atlanta's offense ranked twenty ninth to pass attempts last year and ninth and Russian
attempts. That bodes really well for Najie Harris. Jail Warren not so great
at least on paper or in theory for pickins, Roman Wilson or someone like
Calvin Austin who can not only attribute as a receiver but be a gadget weapon
on offense and even participate on special teams whether it comes to kickoff or punt
returns. Out of all the names I mentioned on this show, I think
that Calvin Austin could offer the safest floor or potentially highest seeing them because the
role is in sight, it is expected as long as he has a sound
training camp. Hope you all enjoyed this week's episode. A quick recap of
deep bench roster stashes. We had Casey Washington Atlanta Falcons, Jared Wiley,
Kansas City Chiefs, Jordan Winnington, La Rams, Parker Washington, Jacksonville Jaguars,
and Calvin Austin the third Pittsburgh Steelers. Thank you all for listening,
