00:00:20,719 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Dude podcast. I am

2
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:26,800
your host, Corey Evans. This week's show is titled Dinosaur

3
00:00:26,839 --> 00:00:31,039
Players Nearing Value Extinction. This is a fun exercise to

4
00:00:31,039 --> 00:00:33,000
do for me behind the scenes in terms of content

5
00:00:33,039 --> 00:00:38,159
creation because these five names help both rebuilding and contending rosters.

6
00:00:38,240 --> 00:00:41,960
Rebuilding a sense that these are depreciating assets aka Dinosaur

7
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:44,840
players and Dynasty You can get something for them based

8
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:48,479
on their previous performances. You over hear let alone the

9
00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,920
name or value bias recognition that they carry just the

10
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,880
pure weight of their perception in the NFL or fantasy

11
00:00:56,880 --> 00:00:58,679
football alike. And then on the flip side of it,

12
00:00:58,679 --> 00:01:01,039
you could try to attempt a by lo of sorts

13
00:01:01,159 --> 00:01:04,400
as contender to swoop in and pay fifty to seventy

14
00:01:04,439 --> 00:01:07,000
five cents and a dollar for a contributor to help

15
00:01:07,079 --> 00:01:09,079
you put your team over the top in twenty twenty six.

16
00:01:09,439 --> 00:01:12,799
So with that in mind, Dinosaur Players nearing value extinction,

17
00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:15,959
whether you're on the buyer seller end, here's my spin

18
00:01:16,079 --> 00:01:18,439
in who I think is nearing that cliff and value

19
00:01:18,599 --> 00:01:22,200
up first, Alvin Kamara, he is thirty point eight years old.

20
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,959
Then shout out the sleeper for adding the month now

21
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,319
in the age on the player profile cards. That's a

22
00:01:28,319 --> 00:01:31,719
really cool incentive and added bonus on the platform. Kamara

23
00:01:31,879 --> 00:01:34,719
PPRRB forty six and twenty twenty five. I'm not telling

24
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:37,519
you breaking news that Kamara was a letdown, a massive,

25
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,079
colossal bust in twenty twenty five. He had one hundred

26
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:41,959
and thirty one rushes for only three point six yards

27
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:45,040
per carry, a mere thirty three receptions, and one total

28
00:01:45,079 --> 00:01:47,920
touchdown which was a rushing score. Not to mention the

29
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,959
port production, let alone the addition of shratvs Etn leaving

30
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:52,760
Jacksonville sign him with the Warrens. Is a free agent

31
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:56,760
this offseason. It leaves Kamara in the territory of unknown.

32
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,799
His role, according to Saints GM Mickey Loomis, is a

33
00:02:00,840 --> 00:02:03,439
major question mark. Apparently, the Saints have not approached Kamara

34
00:02:03,519 --> 00:02:07,319
about a contract restructure, and they've been noncommittal on Album's

35
00:02:07,359 --> 00:02:08,199
future with the team.

36
00:02:08,560 --> 00:02:10,000
Speaker 2: This has the makings of a divorce.

37
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:12,479
Speaker 1: The issue at hand is Kamara has been on the

38
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:15,319
record stating that he will only play for the Saints

39
00:02:15,479 --> 00:02:18,759
or he's fine retiring, and that is concerning let alone

40
00:02:19,080 --> 00:02:21,439
a major risk when it comes to his dynasty value.

41
00:02:21,439 --> 00:02:22,919
You'll look at it simply two or three years in

42
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,159
that window. If he retires, you have a sunk cost

43
00:02:25,199 --> 00:02:27,680
in your hands. So best case, I would say to

44
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,199
trade or sell Kama. It's a mid to eight second

45
00:02:30,199 --> 00:02:32,120
and I will go on record stating that I attempted

46
00:02:32,120 --> 00:02:34,159
to sell my shows of Kamara even in this perceived

47
00:02:34,199 --> 00:02:36,879
quote unquote week class that is a twenty twenty six

48
00:02:36,879 --> 00:02:39,080
pee crop and had no takers, no interest.

49
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:40,639
Speaker 2: So this is a situation where.

50
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:43,960
Speaker 1: Kamara most realistically is a third in terms of draft

51
00:02:43,960 --> 00:02:47,479
capital or a younger player that's not a quarterback super

52
00:02:47,479 --> 00:02:49,960
fuck so think running back, wide receiver or a tight

53
00:02:50,039 --> 00:02:53,400
end swap. That being said, because NFL news moves quickly,

54
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,599
by the time you're hearing this recording, Kamara might have

55
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:58,680
been re signed to the Saints and or traded or

56
00:02:58,719 --> 00:03:01,599
possibly even released he retired. There's a lot of unknowns,

57
00:03:01,639 --> 00:03:04,719
a lot of ables and play meaning bottom line, Alvin

58
00:03:04,759 --> 00:03:07,439
Kamara is a dinosaur player nearing his value extinction. He

59
00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:10,759
was an elite commodity for such a long time, but

60
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:13,199
that is of the past, and if you could acquire

61
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:16,520
him and take that risk one for some last stitch

62
00:03:16,599 --> 00:03:18,759
effort to put you over the top as a depth piece.

63
00:03:18,840 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 2: Go for it.

64
00:03:19,439 --> 00:03:21,719
Speaker 1: Otherwise, Kamara is looking like more of a cell before

65
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:25,439
his price bottoms out before us and he becomes an

66
00:03:25,439 --> 00:03:29,240
eventual drop uble player in Dynasty formats. Up next is

67
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:32,199
Matthew Stafford, who is thirty eight point three years old.

68
00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:35,520
A sensational twenty twenty five season the quarterback three in

69
00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:40,280
Fantasy the NFL MVP, with forty six touchdowns passing and

70
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:43,000
then only eight interceptions. It was a turn of the

71
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:46,599
clock back campaign for Stafford. Then we have now though

72
00:03:46,680 --> 00:03:49,759
the dilemma of ty Simpson being drafted thirteenth overall this

73
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:52,960
year out of Alabama at Stafford's eventual replacement. We got

74
00:03:52,960 --> 00:03:55,719
some clarity on the timeline this week. The Rams and

75
00:03:55,719 --> 00:03:57,680
Stafford agree to a one year extension worth up to

76
00:03:57,800 --> 00:04:01,280
sixty million dollars, with his currentract having over one hundred

77
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,680
million hours in ceiling, and it keeps Stafford in a

78
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:06,120
contract for at least twenty twenty six to twenty twenty seven,

79
00:04:06,479 --> 00:04:08,919
where at that point you'd think ty Simpson could be

80
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,639
ready to take over the rains. Sean McVay even revealed

81
00:04:11,639 --> 00:04:14,680
this past week that Matthew Stafford was almost placed on

82
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,120
short term injury reserve to begin twenty twenty five because

83
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,279
of that alien back injury, which I don't think we

84
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,000
could say has clearly gone away to spite Stafford's NFL

85
00:04:22,519 --> 00:04:26,360
MVP season last year. So best case for Stafford, if

86
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:29,240
you need his services as a quarterback two or a

87
00:04:29,319 --> 00:04:32,879
quarterback one in Superflex, you're probably going to spend and

88
00:04:33,040 --> 00:04:35,079
or look to cash out for any first whether it

89
00:04:35,079 --> 00:04:37,360
from the twenty twenty six twenty twenty seven. A first

90
00:04:37,439 --> 00:04:40,000
round pick for Stafford based on his production level is

91
00:04:40,160 --> 00:04:43,959
fair game realistically, though probably a second or a younger

92
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:47,519
quarterback with a lower ceiling who's developing in terms of

93
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:51,399
apples apples based on career arc media production, and then

94
00:04:51,680 --> 00:04:54,360
long term value, which we know Stafford is probably on

95
00:04:54,399 --> 00:04:57,079
a Travis Kelcey esque year to year window. Despite the

96
00:04:57,120 --> 00:05:01,199
contract extension, it's basically a one year check in or

97
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,360
check up with Stafford. You cannot rely on him for

98
00:05:03,399 --> 00:05:05,600
more than twenty twenty six when you're looking to invest

99
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:07,560
in him in Dynasty, So all that on the.

100
00:05:07,519 --> 00:05:09,839
Speaker 2: Table, Stafford is a dinosaur player.

101
00:05:09,879 --> 00:05:12,360
Speaker 1: He's nearing his value extinction, but on a points per game

102
00:05:12,519 --> 00:05:15,079
and even a per game basis he is still a

103
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,040
virtual lock to be a top five to ten quarterback

104
00:05:18,079 --> 00:05:20,959
assuming health cooperates, and that does give him that fringe

105
00:05:20,959 --> 00:05:23,000
first second round we could draft pick value, especially in

106
00:05:23,079 --> 00:05:25,839
a week class twenty twenty six among quarterbacks.

107
00:05:26,160 --> 00:05:27,279
Speaker 2: How about DJ Moore.

108
00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 1: Not quite as old as Kamara or Stafford, but we're

109
00:05:29,839 --> 00:05:35,160
seeing peripheral stat signs of decline for DJM twenty nine

110
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:38,839
point one years old, traded from Chicago to Buffalo this offseason.

111
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,920
He was the PPR wide out thirty five with the

112
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,240
Bears in twenty twenty five, set a career low in

113
00:05:44,279 --> 00:05:47,639
receptions with only fifty a career low of yards receiving

114
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,720
at six point eighty two, and second lowest amount of

115
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:53,959
career targets checking in at eighty five. So the writing

116
00:05:54,079 --> 00:05:56,079
was on the wall that DJ Moore was on his

117
00:05:56,120 --> 00:05:59,000
way out of Chicago that came to fruition and he's

118
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,480
not with the Bills and present a final cash out

119
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:05,199
opportunity at peak value in the sense of dynasty, even

120
00:06:05,240 --> 00:06:07,879
with likely success tied to Josh Allen in.

121
00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:09,800
Speaker 2: The short term for DJ Moore.

122
00:06:09,879 --> 00:06:11,360
Speaker 1: Now, listen, I'll put my money where I'm out this

123
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:14,439
I have had and still do a few shares DJM.

124
00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:16,879
I've looked to exit at a reasonable price, and I

125
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,360
finally found a suitor in one of my superflex half

126
00:06:20,399 --> 00:06:24,199
PPR league's post rookie draft, I flipped straight up DJM

127
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:26,759
for a prospect I'm high on at Tony Williams, and

128
00:06:26,800 --> 00:06:30,000
I do think it's possible that Antonio Williams could catch

129
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:33,319
fifty or more passes as a rookie and DJM even

130
00:06:33,360 --> 00:06:35,759
the best case scenario probably around that fifty to eighty

131
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,560
reception ring. So I'm buying back seven eight years of

132
00:06:39,759 --> 00:06:43,199
age and shelf life in dynasty. That's what I'm recommending

133
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,199
here now. If you need that push for DJM and

134
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:46,920
this league, I flipped him for I have plenty of

135
00:06:46,959 --> 00:06:48,839
our receivers that that I wanted to get a bit

136
00:06:48,879 --> 00:06:51,560
younger recycle that position if you will. I think a

137
00:06:51,639 --> 00:06:54,639
best case, just again association to Josh Allen, it's a

138
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,839
late first for DJM. Nobody's going to spend early to

139
00:06:56,879 --> 00:06:59,600
mid first based on how loaded the receivers are this

140
00:06:59,680 --> 00:07:02,519
year rookie wise, and then twenty seven class forget about it.

141
00:07:02,839 --> 00:07:05,639
But the most realistic approach might be a younger player.

142
00:07:05,759 --> 00:07:08,399
I allow what I did in twenty Williams or a

143
00:07:08,519 --> 00:07:10,519
second whether that's a twenty six to twenty seven, that

144
00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:14,160
seems like a fair offer if you want djmore to

145
00:07:14,160 --> 00:07:16,279
put you over the top in theory with Josh Allen,

146
00:07:16,399 --> 00:07:19,759
or to cash out and exit at a comfortable price.

147
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:22,040
Might not be a ceiling like how he was with

148
00:07:22,120 --> 00:07:24,279
Carolina or a year or two. There are the Bears,

149
00:07:24,319 --> 00:07:26,480
but still to a level playing field as opposed to

150
00:07:26,519 --> 00:07:29,079
looking to get an early mid first, which is just

151
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:31,959
not achievable at this point of DJ Moore's career arc

152
00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,439
or stage of his NFL tenure. Quick breaking back with

153
00:07:34,519 --> 00:07:38,920

00:08:26,519 --> 00:08:29,000
recent sample size wide receiver for the three and twenty

172
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:29,360
twenty five.

173
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,639
Speaker 2: So that's three in a row in terms of.

174
00:08:31,519 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: Performing as a wide receiver four or worse flex territory

175
00:08:36,279 --> 00:08:39,000
with the Rams and Seahawks, not to mention a career

176
00:08:39,039 --> 00:08:41,080
low of thirty seven point one yards per game at

177
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:43,759
Seattle in twenty twenty five. Simply put, Cooper Cup has

178
00:08:43,799 --> 00:08:46,720
settled in as a leader, a complimentary role in the NFL,

179
00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:51,639
yet carries that aforementioned name value, name recognition. In the

180
00:08:51,639 --> 00:08:54,240
fantasy landscape, we could still get something as opposed to

181
00:08:54,240 --> 00:08:57,519
just dropping him out right. Cups forty seven five ninety

182
00:08:57,519 --> 00:09:00,480
three to two receiving effort on seventy targets last season

183
00:09:00,559 --> 00:09:02,879
I think is a fair baseline for his twenty twenty

184
00:09:02,879 --> 00:09:06,240
six outlook with JSN being the focal point of Seattle's

185
00:09:06,279 --> 00:09:10,320
aerial attack. Best case, Cooper Cup most likely a mid

186
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:13,200
to eight second that even might be a difficult reach

187
00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:17,039
realistic third or a player of epal value. It's hard

188
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:20,879
to rationalize buying Cooper Cup for more than that price

189
00:09:20,919 --> 00:09:24,039
tag because you know you're really not surpassing fifty to

190
00:09:24,080 --> 00:09:28,399
sixty receptions, flirting with eight hundred nine ersree yards at most,

191
00:09:28,639 --> 00:09:31,519
and the touchdowns are a complete gamble compared to the

192
00:09:31,559 --> 00:09:34,279
role that JASN has. Not to mention what Jenderian price

193
00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:38,600
by contribute aj Barner, Sam Darnold is a facilitator, a

194
00:09:38,639 --> 00:09:40,919
point guard on offense for ce Anle. He's not going

195
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,159
to commit to throwing Cooper Cup because Cooper Cup used

196
00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:43,879
to be a superstar.

197
00:09:44,080 --> 00:09:45,600
Speaker 2: That's not how the NFL operates.

198
00:09:45,879 --> 00:09:48,039
Speaker 1: So if anyone has that bias still as ship with

199
00:09:48,039 --> 00:09:50,240
Cooper Cup that he could bounce back to his old

200
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,879
former self, than by all means attempt to cash out

201
00:09:52,919 --> 00:09:56,200
for a second. However, being real about his value, we're

202
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:58,559
talking to third, possibly even a fourth, sort of like

203
00:09:58,639 --> 00:10:00,840
Alva Kamara. I've tried to cash out on Cup this offseason.

204
00:10:00,879 --> 00:10:04,039
There's no interest even in a near consensus agreement week

205
00:10:04,080 --> 00:10:07,320
or twenty twenty six rookie class, and last but not least,

206
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:11,080
perhaps the wild card of them all, Tyreek Kill.

207
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:13,000
Speaker 2: He's thirty two point two years old. He was a

208
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:14,240
PPR wide receiver.

209
00:10:14,080 --> 00:10:16,200
Speaker 1: One oh five and only four games played with Miami

210
00:10:16,360 --> 00:10:19,639
last year. Tore multiple knee ligaments and dissiocated his knees,

211
00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,679
so it was a devastating at this stage of his

212
00:10:21,720 --> 00:10:25,519
career injury. He remains unsigned now and leading up to June.

213
00:10:25,679 --> 00:10:28,120
Adam Scheffer reported this past week that Tyreek could be

214
00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:31,600
out until at least mid season because of his recovery timeline.

215
00:10:31,600 --> 00:10:33,799
I've been seeing some rumors suggest that Surry could be

216
00:10:33,840 --> 00:10:35,960
out in the entire twenty six calendar year, which would

217
00:10:35,960 --> 00:10:39,679
be devastating. Whoever hasn't rostered best case if anyone's buying

218
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:42,840
the Tyreek hype train, because he could sign and run

219
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,879
things back to Kansas City depending on the Rashid Rice situation,

220
00:10:46,279 --> 00:10:48,600
A first, a mid to late first at that, but

221
00:10:48,639 --> 00:10:50,720
I highly doubt anyone is going to invest that sort

222
00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,799
of capital in Tyreek with this recent knee injury. On

223
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:55,840
the realistic side of things, probably a second or a

224
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,480
player begal value not all that far off from the

225
00:10:58,519 --> 00:11:02,879
DJ Moore assessed invaluation I was describing. Tyreek could be

226
00:11:02,960 --> 00:11:05,240
a league winner if he's back in the second half

227
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,320
of twenty twenty six and put a contender over the top.

228
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:10,399
If I were in the shoes of a rebuild and

229
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:12,720
I had Tyreek, I would not sell now at a discount.

230
00:11:12,759 --> 00:11:15,159
I would wait see if he comes back, and if

231
00:11:15,159 --> 00:11:18,440
he does sign with a team that needs up wide receiver, boom,

232
00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,200
that's your ticket out. That's your lottery to flip him

233
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,720
for any sort of peak value that remains. And if

234
00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,679
you're a good tender, now's the time to buy because

235
00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:28,159
he's not on the team, So buy the discount while

236
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:28,679
it lasts.

237
00:11:28,879 --> 00:11:29,639
