Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Dude Podcast. I'm your host, Corey
Evans. Thanks for listening. This show is about bench to starting lineup candidates,
the idea that we are stashing certain players and hopes that their roles or
outlooks grow in twenty twenty three based on a strong course of the offseason.
Whether it be OTAs, eventually, mini camp, the preseason, you get
the picture. I have five names you should be benching, but could be
starting at some point this upcoming campaign. Before I get to that, I
have a huge announcement. After years and years of interest and requests, I've
decided to finally launch a listener league on Sleeper. All the details are to
be determined, but what is most important is you have to be a member
on Patreon to be eligible. I wanted to be a twelve team league,
so including myself, I need eleven more people and it's quite simple. If
you want in, then dm me on Patreon with a reason why you think
you should be in the league, and I'm going to pick the people that
I think are most invested, most interested, so that I don't have a
lot of turnover you every year and we have a very competitive high engagement.
Long lasting Dynasty league full of hardcore Dynasty Dude listeners once again. To be
eligible, you have to be on Patreon. To become a member, click
on a link in my show notes title Joint Patreon or head to the website
mobile app. It is five dollars per month at the minimum. You can
of course plug more either pre episode or per month. Again, send me
a DM why you think you should be in the league. Hopefully there's enough
interest. If not, might have to go down to a ten team league,
but the goal is twelve teams, so that's the listener league announcement.
If you have any specific questions, you can email me hit me up on
social media, but to be eligible, have to be on Patreon and express
your interest with the direct mess to me making a case ry you should be
a member in the new league. A few other housekeeping notes. If you
want to get in my calendar for thirty minutes or one hour roster kall via
Google Meet, hit me up. I'll get that schedule. Great time to
talk about your team, diving deep about you rookie draft, post draft,
or you can pre draft strategy, anything like that, and then shout out
to George and rich who became Patreon members this past week, or support means
a ton. Here we go bench to starting lineup candidates five names, kating
off with trey ViOn Williams, running back Cincinnati Bengals. He's twenty six in
October, a six round pick back in twenty nineteen, with Sama J.
P. Ryan out of the Bengals running back full of head coach Zach Taylor's
repeatedly brought up Treyvion Williams as a possible replacement option for the team. The
Bengals resigning Williams back in March supports Taylor's comments. Interesting quote from Taylor himself
or guarding Williams, it was quote high hopes just hasn't had an opportunity because
we had two really good running backs in front of him. End quote.
Assuming Joe Mixon remains with the team, their speculation he could have been a
trade or cut candidate post tune first at the time, it's recording that has
not occurred. Perhaps it takes a hometown discount to three structure his contract.
Time will tell. Regardless, Williams will face change of pace or passing down
competition in the form of Chris Evans or even fifth round rookie Chase Brown out
of Illinois, who is a size speed threat along with athletic ability that is
rare for running back, especially with that draft capital. Fifth round is rather
inexpensive for what Chase Brown might bring to the table. Over the span of
his four year NFL tenure, to this point, Trevion has compiled forty seven
rushes for two or to thirty eight scholars yards five point one yards per clip,
and then eight catches for sixty four yards ten targets in twenty three games
played. Self explanatory and safe to say that Williams has not done much to
prove his worth to this point. During his college career, however, with
Texas A and M, Williams recorded at least a thousand yards rushing to two
of his three campaigns. His best output came in his last season back in
twenty eighteen, a two seventy one seventeen sixty eighteen rushing line six and a
half yards per totes while also this playing versatility sixty six career catches in school.
I've seen Williams available as a free agent in some dynasty leagues. That
time has probably come and gone because of the recent buzz It continued positive drum
beat for him. Add him a SAP, though that's a case in yours
specific league or leagues otherwise, I'm going to offer up a fourth to take
a gamble on Travion's upside into tenati with Orthoxol Mixon, there's a path to
some sort of role, and we've seen that time and time again, brought
up by Zach Taylor, which if anyone's going to give a player opportunities on
the field, it is a head coach like Taylor himself. Next player is
Time Montgomery, running back New England. He's already thirty years old so aging
quickly. Appeared in only one game last season for the Patriots before suffering knee
and shoulder injuries. Ormandre Stevenson seems locked in as RB one, but the
Patriots running back depth thereafter is up for grabs. You have Time Montgomery,
Peter Strong, Kevin Harris, James Robinson. I don't suspect all of them
to make the team, so there could be one or two cut and or
put on the practice squad. It's worth bringing up that former New England running
back coach Ivan Fears, who's not retired but still has a strong presence with
or around the team. Sayd that Montgomery has quotes a great chance to be
the third down back and take some of the load off of Remondre end quote.
Even with a possible roll up for grabs, their ability has been a
consistent issue four tie after playing in a mere twenty one games over the past
three seasons. If healthy, then perhaps Ivan Fears is correct and Ty Montgomery
is viewed as a third down to change your pace weapon alongside Remondre Stevenson at
a near free price tag in dynasty circles, Montgomery is well worth a speculative
ad or roster spot based on age injury history. Since he's a consistent talking
point of OTAs and Stevenson is the talk of the town. That's who we
want in fantasy, But next man up could very well be Montgomery. The
last time we saw Ti serve a large NFL role was actually in twenty twenty
one with the Saints, where he posted production lines of fifteen for forty four
on the ground for only two point nine yards per carry, and then sixteen
for ninety five with twenty six targets as a receiver in fourteen games played.
That's really not fantasy viable either. Yet, we can project and assume that
if Time Montgomery were to suit up for fourteen games or more than twenty twenty
three New England, then those stats would be far superior in what we saw
the Saints a few years ago. I prefer to Roster Stevenson and even Peter
Strong as higher sealing options, but Montgomery is the cheapest, again possibly free,
so check your waiver wire of the bunch and clearly has the trust of
the Patriots coach staff, and end of the day, that's all that matters.
If Bill Belichick, if Bill O'Brien are calling his name to be on
the field, then touches snapshare targets, that's what matters most those counting stats
from a fantasy perspective. Up next is Sam Howell. He's twenty three in
September, fifth round pick in twenty twenty two out of North Carolina. We
saw a very limited sample size of Howe's versatility on the stretch of last season,
and apparently it was enough for Washington to move forward with him as the
teams projected starter in twenty twenty three at quarterback. In his loan start last
year, Howell went to eleven for nineteen for one hundred and sixty nine yards,
passing one touchdown, one interception, eight point nine yards per attempt,
fifty seven point nine complete percent rate, along with five rushes thirty five yards
and a touchdown put him on the Quarterback one Quarterback two radar As a streamer.
At one point of his college career, Howell was viewed as a top
tier quarterback prospect with first round pedigree or draft grades across the board. That
was after he compile touchdown to pick ratios thirty eight to seven thirty to seven
from twenty nineteen to twenty twenty. Ben regressed in twenty twenty one significantly to
the two to twenty four to nine touchdown to picks with very consistent tape.
He lost a few players Javanti Williams, Michael Carter, along with some receivers
from North Carolina. What it treats me most about Sam Howell, though it
was a Russian ability. He ran for a one eighty three eight twenty eight
eleven log in his final year of school as a focal point of the offense.
In terms of quarterback competition, Washington did bring in journeyman Jacoby Brissett this
offseason, Ron Rivera claimed that Howell Brisett will compete for the Week one starting
job in a press conference. Promotia's bat contradicts most reports from previous months dating
back January that the Commanders were comfortable with Howell's development to pass on quarterback in
the draft, and I thought that was most telling. The ranchise was comfortable
and moving forward with Howell, at least in the short term. If you're
interested in Howell like I am, then new offensive coordinator Eric b Enemy from
Kansas City being in the mix calling plays, praising Howell already in terms of
competitive nature, demeanor. These are all factors working in Howell's favor his direction
over what we know is just a chain mover or game manager that is b
set. He's not going to win Washington football games or bring him to the
playoffs. Whereas Howell, if given plenty of time reps to prove himself,
could make Washington a contender in the NFC. I think Howell's best looked at
as a backup in single quarterback formats or fantasy, and then a quarterback two
in superflex leagues. There's upside for quarterback one potential. It's all based on
him being the starter for most of the season, but most importantly him rushing
the football, being a dual threat athlete, which could translate the fantasy gold
at cost. It's a matter of if you can disdain or chapolate the Russian
production. We saw only a one game samples, but the five for thirty
five and one touchdown last season down that stretch for Washington is indication that Howell
has the upside to deliver that weekend week out with command and reign of the
quarterback room. Time for a quick break, and then two more bench to
starting lineup candidates for twenty twenty three. The next name is Jollanni Woods,
tight end Colts twenty five in October, third round pick in twenty twenty two
out of Virginia, where he emerged during his final year in school. A
forty four five ninety eight eight receiving line previously to not surpass sixteen catches in
a single campaign Voklahoma State, so him Transferreen did wonders for his draft capital.
In real life, the cold sport a very crowded tight end room.
You have Jeannie was himself, Moyley Cox, Kylin Granson, Will Mallory.
Even so, the team deploys and uses enough two ten end personnel for multiple
names become fantasy relevant. We saw it last year and we've seen it time
and time again. The main difference now being a new quarterback protectially in Anthony
Richardson, along with a new coach regime led by Shane Steiken. As rookie
in twenty twenty two, Woods contributed a twenty five three twelve three efforts,
twelve and a half yards per catch on forty targets and fifteen games. Played
solid not spectacular, but then you factor in Jelani being athletic freak at six
seven two fifty three four point six one forty and thirty four inch arms battlers
should make you excited to roster him in a dynasty format. Jilani has missed
OTAs with an Alien Hampshire injury, but doesn't sound overly serious enough to cost
him much more valuable time with new quarterbacks Gardner Minshew or even Richard sin As
I mentioned had Coachhane Steichen. To be honest, there's not a lot of
certainty tied to Gilannie Woods. He had an eight catch ninety airs showing verse
pitch three last season. You have the ninety clips more than three catches in
any other contest. For now, I'm viewing Woods as a bet on red
zone usige or after to catch upside in what should be a run first Colts
offense with a healthy Jonathan Taylor and offensive line both back in action. The
main wild cards are Gardner Minshew Verse, aar at quarterback who will start eventually.
We know based on draft capital based in the comments from and Stike in
that Anthon Rickerson is gonna be given every chance to run away with the starting
job and become a franchise caliber quarterback. Based on his time at FLORIDAB.
We know that he has a consistencies on tape as a passer and has a
run first mentality could steal value from JT or even hurt the ceiling of past
catchers on the Colts, whether it's Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce, Josh Downs.
Tight ends like jo Lonnie Woods. So don't overreact and assume Johnnie Woods
is going to be a setup forget it tight end one tight end too option
in your ten twelve or more team dynasty league. No, He's summon a
stash and hopes that you can put him in your starting line up assert him
as a reliable asset at some point in twenty twenty three. The large body
frame, the size speed combination, the thirty four inch arms, that wingspan
is what an inacurate quarterback like a the Rickerson needs to rely on. So
that's why I'm excited that Woods has some breakout potential and as soon as his
upcoming season then last button, not least. Romeo dabs twenty three fourth rounder
last year from Nevada. I discussed Christian Watson as a sell high candidate on
Patreon last week, but I view jobs conversely. It's a buy a low
target after an inconsistent or campaign in twenty twenty two, where he registered a
forty two four twenty five three log on sixty seven targets for ten point one
yards per catch. It shouldn't cost much more than a late second, early
thirty trade for Romeo right now. So go ahead and knock on whoever has
him their door in your league and try to buy a low at that price
point. Jordan Love is the wildcard of the entire Packers offense from a fantasy
lens, and he comes with plenty of uncertainty regardless Dobbs offers size at six
two two oh four possession trades big playability to become a fixture in Green Bay's
passing game would intributing most about Dobbs this time last offseason was in fact his
college resume. He closed out his career in school, but back to back
a thousand plus yards seasons while scoring twenty touchdowns over that two year span,
including eighty catches alone in twenty twenty one. A few media outlets have already
estimated that Romeo will end up leading Green Bay and receptions for twenty twenty three.
I think that's a fair expectation and not all that bold. My question
is what kind of volume does Dabs or even Christian Watson see without Aaron Rodgers
around. I won't be surprised if the Packers funnel touches primarily through Aaron Jones
and AJ Dillon taking limited shots down field, more short intermediate, unless it's
Christian Watson who could lid lift any defense in the NFL. Or the final
month of twenty twenty two, for some context, Christian Watson a twenty one
percent targer share compared to fifteen percent for Dabs. So make no mistake Christian
Watson is whichever one in Green Bay. But Dobbs is cheaper in fantasy,
perhaps half the cost. If we're assuming Watson's and early to mid first,
then as I mentioned, Dobbs mid late second, perhaps you can sneak them
for an early third or two mid to late thirds. New rookies Jaden Reid,
Don Tavion Wicks, Grant Debose could carve out sizeable roles in twenty twenty
three as wideouts as well, which clouds the packers tart distribution even further,
not to mention rookie tight ends Luke Musgrave receiving a ton of balls already.
Tucker Craft therefore treat Dabbs as respectable why receiver fur with farmware potential if he
builds and continues to improve and on the field connection or report with Jordan Love,
Jordan Love is going to dictate the success or failure of the entire pecking
order of assets in Green Bay. And that is a bit scary to think
of if we're investing heavily in any shares at running back, receiver or tight
end, possibly even Love himself any one quarterback or superflex format. However,
at cost, I'm comfortable taking a shot on Dabbs and hopes that he's a
sophomore breakout and becomes a go to possession option for a young quarterback with very
little enf experience in the former Jordan Love that will do it. Hope you'll
enjoyed this week's episode. A quick recap of banks to starting lineup candidates.
They were as follows. Treyvin Williams running back to Tanati, Ti Montgomery running
back New England, Sam Howell quarterback Washington, Jelanie Woods tight end Indianapolis,
and Romeo Dabbs wide receiver, Green Bay. Don't forget if you want to
beat on my calendar for a thirty minute or one hour roster call on Google
meet to break down your team, discuss strategy for rookie drafts just already you're
existing roster corps, some trades to make. Look at other league members how
you can approve over them, than up social media dynast do pod on Twitter
or Instagram, Dynasty pod at gmail dot com to shoot me an email.
And then finally the big announcement again as a reminder, is the listener league
that will be held on sleeper hoping for twelve teams if there's enough interest,
if not, perhaps ten, but you have to be a Patreon member,
and if you're on Patreon, new or existing member, you have to send
me a message. I'm going to create a list and review it, giving
everyone all of June to submit their case or request to join the league.
I'll review it all and I'll get back to everyone with the announcement. Unless
there's no interest, then there won't be a league. But hopefully there's enough
interest out there. As I mentioned, all of the actual scoring details things
like that we discussed at a much later date. Price point is also going
to be determined, but I'm going to speculate at least one hundred dollars,
perhaps up to one fifty in terms of yearly entrance fees, so that there's
plenty of skin in the game and money on the line for it to be
a competitive Dynasty league. Thank you all again for your support. Until next
time, this is the Dynasty do checking out. Hope you'll have a great
rest of the week and I will talk to you all soon. See you,
