Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Dude podcast. I am
your host, Corey Evans. This week's show is titled Dinosaur
Players Nearing Value Extinction. This is a fun exercise to
do for me behind the scenes in terms of content
creation because these five names help both rebuilding and contending rosters.
Rebuilding a sense that these are depreciating assets aka Dinosaur
players and Dynasty You can get something for them based
on their previous performances. You over hear let alone the
name or value bias recognition that they carry just the
pure weight of their perception in the NFL or fantasy
football alike. And then on the flip side of it,
you could try to attempt a by lo of sorts
as contender to swoop in and pay fifty to seventy
five cents and a dollar for a contributor to help
you put your team over the top in twenty twenty six.
So with that in mind, Dinosaur Players nearing value extinction,
whether you're on the buyer seller end, here's my spin
in who I think is nearing that cliff and value
up first, Alvin Kamara, he is thirty point eight years old.
Then shout out the sleeper for adding the month now
in the age on the player profile cards. That's a
really cool incentive and added bonus on the platform. Kamara
PPRRB forty six and twenty twenty five. I'm not telling
you breaking news that Kamara was a letdown, a massive,
colossal bust in twenty twenty five. He had one hundred
and thirty one rushes for only three point six yards
per carry, a mere thirty three receptions, and one total
touchdown which was a rushing score. Not to mention the
port production, let alone the addition of shratvs Etn leaving
Jacksonville sign him with the Warrens. Is a free agent
this offseason. It leaves Kamara in the territory of unknown.
His role, according to Saints GM Mickey Loomis, is a
major question mark. Apparently, the Saints have not approached Kamara
about a contract restructure, and they've been noncommittal on Album's
future with the team.
Speaker 2: This has the makings of a divorce.
Speaker 1: The issue at hand is Kamara has been on the
record stating that he will only play for the Saints
or he's fine retiring, and that is concerning let alone
a major risk when it comes to his dynasty value.
You'll look at it simply two or three years in
that window. If he retires, you have a sunk cost
in your hands. So best case, I would say to
trade or sell Kama. It's a mid to eight second
and I will go on record stating that I attempted
to sell my shows of Kamara even in this perceived
quote unquote week class that is a twenty twenty six
pee crop and had no takers, no interest.
Speaker 2: So this is a situation where.
Speaker 1: Kamara most realistically is a third in terms of draft
capital or a younger player that's not a quarterback super
fuck so think running back, wide receiver or a tight
end swap. That being said, because NFL news moves quickly,
by the time you're hearing this recording, Kamara might have
been re signed to the Saints and or traded or
possibly even released he retired. There's a lot of unknowns,
a lot of ables and play meaning bottom line, Alvin
Kamara is a dinosaur player nearing his value extinction. He
was an elite commodity for such a long time, but
that is of the past, and if you could acquire
him and take that risk one for some last stitch
effort to put you over the top as a depth piece.
Speaker 2: Go for it.
Speaker 1: Otherwise, Kamara is looking like more of a cell before
his price bottoms out before us and he becomes an
eventual drop uble player in Dynasty formats. Up next is
Matthew Stafford, who is thirty eight point three years old.
A sensational twenty twenty five season the quarterback three in
Fantasy the NFL MVP, with forty six touchdowns passing and
then only eight interceptions. It was a turn of the
clock back campaign for Stafford. Then we have now though
the dilemma of ty Simpson being drafted thirteenth overall this
year out of Alabama at Stafford's eventual replacement. We got
some clarity on the timeline this week. The Rams and
Stafford agree to a one year extension worth up to
sixty million dollars, with his currentract having over one hundred
million hours in ceiling, and it keeps Stafford in a
contract for at least twenty twenty six to twenty twenty seven,
where at that point you'd think ty Simpson could be
ready to take over the rains. Sean McVay even revealed
this past week that Matthew Stafford was almost placed on
short term injury reserve to begin twenty twenty five because
of that alien back injury, which I don't think we
could say has clearly gone away to spite Stafford's NFL
MVP season last year. So best case for Stafford, if
you need his services as a quarterback two or a
quarterback one in Superflex, you're probably going to spend and
or look to cash out for any first whether it
from the twenty twenty six twenty twenty seven. A first
round pick for Stafford based on his production level is
fair game realistically, though probably a second or a younger
quarterback with a lower ceiling who's developing in terms of
apples apples based on career arc media production, and then
long term value, which we know Stafford is probably on
a Travis Kelcey esque year to year window. Despite the
contract extension, it's basically a one year check in or
check up with Stafford. You cannot rely on him for
more than twenty twenty six when you're looking to invest
in him in Dynasty, So all that on the.
Speaker 2: Table, Stafford is a dinosaur player.
Speaker 1: He's nearing his value extinction, but on a points per game
and even a per game basis he is still a
virtual lock to be a top five to ten quarterback
assuming health cooperates, and that does give him that fringe
first second round we could draft pick value, especially in
a week class twenty twenty six among quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: How about DJ Moore.
Speaker 1: Not quite as old as Kamara or Stafford, but we're
seeing peripheral stat signs of decline for DJM twenty nine
point one years old, traded from Chicago to Buffalo this offseason.
He was the PPR wide out thirty five with the
Bears in twenty twenty five, set a career low in
receptions with only fifty a career low of yards receiving
at six point eighty two, and second lowest amount of
career targets checking in at eighty five. So the writing
was on the wall that DJ Moore was on his
way out of Chicago that came to fruition and he's
not with the Bills and present a final cash out
opportunity at peak value in the sense of dynasty, even
with likely success tied to Josh Allen in.
Speaker 2: The short term for DJ Moore.
Speaker 1: Now, listen, I'll put my money where I'm out this
I have had and still do a few shares DJM.
I've looked to exit at a reasonable price, and I
finally found a suitor in one of my superflex half
PPR league's post rookie draft, I flipped straight up DJM
for a prospect I'm high on at Tony Williams, and
I do think it's possible that Antonio Williams could catch
fifty or more passes as a rookie and DJM even
the best case scenario probably around that fifty to eighty
reception ring. So I'm buying back seven eight years of
age and shelf life in dynasty. That's what I'm recommending
here now. If you need that push for DJM and
this league, I flipped him for I have plenty of
our receivers that that I wanted to get a bit
younger recycle that position if you will. I think a
best case, just again association to Josh Allen, it's a
late first for DJM. Nobody's going to spend early to
mid first based on how loaded the receivers are this
year rookie wise, and then twenty seven class forget about it.
But the most realistic approach might be a younger player.
I allow what I did in twenty Williams or a
second whether that's a twenty six to twenty seven, that
seems like a fair offer if you want djmore to
put you over the top in theory with Josh Allen,
or to cash out and exit at a comfortable price.
Might not be a ceiling like how he was with
Carolina or a year or two. There are the Bears,
but still to a level playing field as opposed to
looking to get an early mid first, which is just
not achievable at this point of DJ Moore's career arc
or stage of his NFL tenure. Quick breaking back with
two more Dinosaur players who are nearing value extinction in
both the NFL and fans football like before I get
to that. As of this week, all of my rookie
post draft rankings, including a top fifty now are published
on Patreon. I have three tier levels of five, twelve,
and twenty five dollars per month. It's the best way
to support me as an independent podcast host, and you
gain instant access to unlimited dms whenever you want them
on the platform mobile app to me, and a bonus
episode per week.
Speaker 2: Go ahead and scroll down your episode show notes.
Speaker 1: Title Joint Patreon or even hit up my social media
bios Dynasty dupod on most platforms, you'll find a link accordingly.
Thanks again for consideration, and we'll be right back after
that short break. Next up is Cooper Cup, who's thirty
three years old, the PPR why receeper forty and twenty
twenty three to LA Rams WYD receiver thirty eight in
twenty twenty four with the LA Rams and the most
recent sample size wide receiver for the three and twenty
twenty five.
Speaker 2: So that's three in a row in terms of.
Speaker 1: Performing as a wide receiver four or worse flex territory
with the Rams and Seahawks, not to mention a career
low of thirty seven point one yards per game at
Seattle in twenty twenty five. Simply put, Cooper Cup has
settled in as a leader, a complimentary role in the NFL,
yet carries that aforementioned name value, name recognition. In the
fantasy landscape, we could still get something as opposed to
just dropping him out right. Cups forty seven five ninety
three to two receiving effort on seventy targets last season
I think is a fair baseline for his twenty twenty
six outlook with JSN being the focal point of Seattle's
aerial attack. Best case, Cooper Cup most likely a mid
to eight second that even might be a difficult reach
realistic third or a player of epal value. It's hard
to rationalize buying Cooper Cup for more than that price
tag because you know you're really not surpassing fifty to
sixty receptions, flirting with eight hundred nine ersree yards at most,
and the touchdowns are a complete gamble compared to the
role that JASN has. Not to mention what Jenderian price
by contribute aj Barner, Sam Darnold is a facilitator, a
point guard on offense for ce Anle. He's not going
to commit to throwing Cooper Cup because Cooper Cup used
to be a superstar.
Speaker 2: That's not how the NFL operates.
Speaker 1: So if anyone has that bias still as ship with
Cooper Cup that he could bounce back to his old
former self, than by all means attempt to cash out
for a second. However, being real about his value, we're
talking to third, possibly even a fourth, sort of like
Alva Kamara. I've tried to cash out on Cup this offseason.
There's no interest even in a near consensus agreement week
or twenty twenty six rookie class, and last but not least,
perhaps the wild card of them all, Tyreek Kill.
Speaker 2: He's thirty two point two years old. He was a
PPR wide receiver.
Speaker 1: One oh five and only four games played with Miami
last year. Tore multiple knee ligaments and dissiocated his knees,
so it was a devastating at this stage of his
career injury. He remains unsigned now and leading up to June.
Adam Scheffer reported this past week that Tyreek could be
out until at least mid season because of his recovery timeline.
I've been seeing some rumors suggest that Surry could be
out in the entire twenty six calendar year, which would
be devastating. Whoever hasn't rostered best case if anyone's buying
the Tyreek hype train, because he could sign and run
things back to Kansas City depending on the Rashid Rice situation,
A first, a mid to late first at that, but
I highly doubt anyone is going to invest that sort
of capital in Tyreek with this recent knee injury. On
the realistic side of things, probably a second or a
player begal value not all that far off from the
DJ Moore assessed invaluation I was describing. Tyreek could be
a league winner if he's back in the second half
of twenty twenty six and put a contender over the top.
If I were in the shoes of a rebuild and
I had Tyreek, I would not sell now at a discount.
I would wait see if he comes back, and if
he does sign with a team that needs up wide receiver, boom,
that's your ticket out. That's your lottery to flip him
for any sort of peak value that remains. And if
you're a good tender, now's the time to buy because
he's not on the team, So buy the discount while
it lasts.
Speaker 2: Thank you for listening up.
