Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Do podcast. I'm your host,
Corey Evans. A fun different show for you all this week.
It is titled Evaluating Recent Dynasty Trades. I've gone through
my five main dynasty leagues and analyze them in terms
of recent dynasty trades to break down for you my audience.
Pretty cool context because they're all money leagues, so there's
everybody with skin in the game in order to win, contend,
or rebuild the future season. So in a sense, this
is a good litmus test or temperature check on player
value of all assets included a mention, So this will
be a bit different. It's not a stat focused driven
as my usual content, but I do think the pivot
to just evaluating actual dynasty trades that are taking place
in my competitive leagues provides good insight and perspective compared
to your.
Speaker 2: Leagues, ADP or other analyst rankings.
Speaker 1: Before I get to that, shout out to Jim who
joined Patreon is past week. Much appreciated, and Jim, I
know we got a roster call not too long ago,
so first of all, thanks for becoming a Patreon member
and again investing in that Google Meet roster call.
Speaker 2: The support helps me out a ton.
Speaker 1: If you want access to a bonus show per week,
unlimited DMS, and fifty percent off roster calls, join Patreon
link in all of my social media bios. That's Dynasty

well for that five hour per month minimum because you
gain access to my preseason rankings by position, quarterback, running back,
wide receiver, published audio, and Google sheet form soon to come,
tight end, and a Top one hundred. Once again, that's
only on Patreon. So the first league I will break
down trade wise is actually my Dynasty do Pod Patreon
Listener League.
Speaker 2: I have four recent trades.
Speaker 1: That have taken place, and the timeline for these is
the past month or so. I couldn't find necessarily a
firm apples to apples set of time for all of
my leagues, but it's close enough.
Speaker 2: I was actually involved in two of these four trades,
so we'll get to those first.
Speaker 1: This Patreon Listener League is a twelve team superflex full
PPR Titan Premium format for a context of rules and scoring.
It was Ormandre Stevenson, DeAndre Hopkins and a twenty five
to third for Jalen Polk and a twenty five to fourth.
I was on the receiving end of Stevenson, Hopkins and
a twenty five to third. I started off a bit
underwhelming in this league compared to what I thought it
would be, but suddenly I've made some wholesale changes to
contend now. So acquiring Stevenson, Hopkins and the youth potentially
in the twenty five to third while sacrificing what could
be a top tier or at least wide receiver one
for the Patriots Polk was a risk. I do believe
in Polk a lot and think he's one of the
better second round selections in a one quarterback or superflex
format this year, and the twenty five thirty twenty five
fourth I thought was a fair compromise, so this could
go one of two ways. It made sense for both
parties involved. Me and my league mate. Stevenson is twenty
six years old. Book about him on last week's show,
so I don't want to repeat myself, but I think
the new contract extension guaranteed money in a revamped alex
Van pelt offensive scheme bodes well for what Stevenson does
as a dual threat Russian receiver. I am in on
him as an RB two this year. Hopkins, entering a
contract year a lot on the line could take somewhat
of a back seat to not only twenty Pollard and
Tajy Spears for antillary volume, but also Calvin Ridley even
Tyler Boyd. Hopkins is thirty two, so the age is
on the wrong side of thirty, but I do think
there's still plenty of guests in the tank based on
his peripheral metrics from twenty twenty three, and then Jalen
Polk conversely, is twenty two, the young commodity thirty seventh
overall pickout of Washington. As I mentioned, I am in
on Polk. It was hard to let go of him,
but it's all about your league roster composition, time stamp
to win or co tend is a shorter long term,
so I thought the Remandre Hopkins and third side made
the most sense for this team on my side of things.
The next trade I was also involved in, I acquired
Travis et on junior tank Bigsby and at twenty five
to third I gave up Davonte Williams DeAndre Hopkins, who
I just acquired, and then Trey Sermon. This was a
trade that benefited both parties once again, because I was
looking to pivot off Davonte. I have so many shares
in Dynasty to a differ running back in the form
of ETM Junior. I got Tank and the other team
involved as Jonathan Taylor, so he got Trey Sermon, and
then the twenty five to third for Hopkins sort of
levels out a bit. I see the appeal from both ends.
I do personally prefer Eta Junior over Javonte, even though
Javonte is the youth, favoring him. Etn is twenty five,
Tank is twenty three in August, fumbling woes, pass protection
issues in twenty twenty years, a rookie third rounder out
of Auburn last year. So far it sounds like offseason
practices and even in training camp Bigsby is not off
to a great start.
Speaker 2: We will see him.
Speaker 1: Have pushed him to shove, but I wanted that insurance
to Atn in the former bigs B to make this trade.
Javonte himself is twenty four contract year. There was the
reports of Javonte being on the roster, bubble him or
smash at p Ryan a few weeks ago, then enter
training camp. It sounds like Sean Payton is now all
systems go ready to utilize Javonte, who has shed some
weight to be more like his college playing style and
just a bit lighter on his feet. So Etn versus
Davonte is certainly a debait. Etn has the initial edge,
but long term, with Williams on a contract year, we're
not surprising me get all, they are closer in value
than meets the eye. Hopkins just talked about him not
going to beat myself. Trey Sermon is twenty five and
presumably RB two behind Jonathan Taylor Bridge. Again is why
this trade makes sense for me and my league mate,
because I wanted to lock down the Jacksonville backfield, and
he had Javonte on his trade list and then already
had JT. So Sermon levels that out. That was a
fun one. Next trade I was not involved in. It
was Christian Kirk and a twenty six third for a
twenty five second and twenty five Kirk I would say
is worth about a second, so fair swap. I think
as a contender it makes more sense to acquire Kirk
giving up a second and a third for him. It's
pretty much on par so Kirk for the twenty five
second and then they are swapping twenty six to twenty
five thirds.
Speaker 2: Kirk is twenty eight November should be or.
Speaker 1: Remain a target hog and passing funnel for Trevor Lawrence
twenty twenty four, even with the additions of Brian Thomas
Junior and the absence of Calvin Ridley, really does benefit
Kirk's familiarity with the offense and connection rapport ready with
Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 2: Would not be shocked if Gabe Davis as well.
Speaker 1: As Brian Thomas Junior even a sleeper I've talked about
a few times on this show in Parker, Washington, make.
Speaker 2: Some noise and lower the ceiling of Kirk, but he's.
Speaker 1: A safe wide receiver three with wide receiver two potential
week in week out. And then the last trade for
my Patreon league is a twenty five second and twenty
six seconds for Terry mclaurince. So this is a situation
where you needed that veteran to perhaps put your team
over the edge.
Speaker 2: McLaurin be twenty nine September.
Speaker 1: I do think the deep ball connection with Jaden Daniels
could be huge for a ceiling. Mclaurin's been ahso consistent
as a safe, reliable wide receiver two a better floor
than ceiling. But two seconds for what I would estimate
the rest of mclaurin's career for the sake of the team,
that trade for him is fair value. It of course
depends on where those seconds end up, but in a nutshell,
Terry McLaurin for two seconds is better than paying a
first round pick, at least from my point of view.
That ends the Patreon League. The next league is a
league that I run called the Elite Dynasty League. There's
only been one recent trade. It was a blockbuster Johan Dotson, Wandale, Robinson,
Secret Tillman, Xavier Worthy from Elite Neighbors Michael Penis Junior.
This is a one quarterback league, full PPR. I see
it as a quantity for quality trade, not necessarily overly
excited about Johan Dotson, Wandale or Tillman, whereas Worthy verse
neighbors Michael Pennick Junior could be the ultimate decision maker
in this trade package. That being said, you can't dismiss
Jehan Dats, who's twenty four sixteenth overall pick out of
Penn State in twenty twenty two has not lived up expectations.
But just like Terry McLaurin, you'd think that Jadon Daniels
could enhance a value of Dotson Wandale. He's twenty three
second rounder out of Kentucky in twenty twenty two. A
bit undersized health has been his issue. Lack of durability.
Let's see what twenty twenty four holds for his role
with Leek Neighbors, who I'll talk about soon in store
for a massive target share.
Speaker 2: Secret Tillman is a nice sleeper.
Speaker 1: I like Tilman twenty four third round selection out of
Tennessee in twenty twenty three gives the Browns a big
body opposite Amari Cooper Worthy. You know I'm all in
on that connection with Mahomes is a deep threat. He's
twenty one, twentieth overall pick from Texas this year. And
then the other side of this trade was Neighbors, who
is twenty one as well, sixth overall selection out of LSU,
and then Penish Junior is twenty four eighth overall pick
out of Washington this year. I don't think Penish Junior
holds much, if any value in a one quarterback dynasty
league outside of being a backup to Kirk Cousins. Rostering
both of them as a duo makes sense. Kinnis Junior
farmer valuable on superflex long term. All of that being
said and on the table, I would probably just go
for who I think is the highest ceiling player in
this entire trade. That being however, the return of Worthy, Dotson, Wandale,
and Tillman is still a solid haul for that side
of the equation. The next league I'm in is called
the Dynasty Football Championship. Only one trade to discuss it
was Derrick Henry for a twenty five first and Trey Lance.
This is a twelve team superflex happypr format. I think
it all depends on the twenty five first right. Henry
is thirty, but with Baltimore almost a.
Speaker 2: Perfect scheme fit.
Speaker 1: Couldn't draw it much better for a twenty to twenty four outlook,
leaving Tennessee entering instead with the Ravens. Trey Lance is
twenty four third overall pick from North Kota State in
twenty twenty one to forty nine ers that seems like
ages ago and he is not fantasy viable, irrelevant. I've
seen some reports at Trey Lances quarterback three in Dallas
right now.
Speaker 2: Therefore, the twenty.
Speaker 1: Five first is the deal breaker for the sake of
this transaction helps a win now team and that twenty
five first and super flex if it is early, could
long term be a much better return on investment than
Derrick Henry unless it wins the person trade for Henry
championship over.
Speaker 2: All, though, a fair swap.
Speaker 1: Time for quick break back with a few more of
my leagues and some huge trades I've taken place over
the past few weeks, if not months. Before I get
to that, don't forget about my Google Meet roster calls
to break down your team's top to bottom. Just have
that outside perspective, new fresh set of eyes on your
rosters or multiple leagues. If Interestick is hit me up
on social media or email. That's Dynasty dopod at gmail
dot com. Thirty dollars thirty minutes or fifty dollars for
one hour. It's a solid time and touch base. With
the preseason upon US training camp underway, to get a
good feel for your team, stands for twenty twenty four
and beyond. It's time for that quick break and I'll
be right back. My next league is called the Animals
Dynasty League, so we have characters or pictures of animals
that reconcile with our team name. So a little bit different,
really fun. Twelve teams, HALFVPR Superflex. The first trade was
a big one. It was Jaden Daniels, bo Nicks, Ray
Davis for brock Bauer, Sam Howell, Michael Pennis Junior and
Tyrone Tracy Junior. All things being equal, I prefer the
Jaden Daniels bon Nick side. I understand the context, which
is everything where one team was more surplus or advantages
at quarterback and wanted that tight end, which at the
end of the day, that is what makes or breaks
a deal is the specific league settings and roster nuances
that if you plug into a trade cup later post
on X or any other format for that matter, doesn't
have the insight that you or your league members do.
That's why someone blasting another on social media saying you
got fleece doesn't make any sense. You have to have
the intricacies to know exact details of what's going on
in each and every league. Jadon Daniels with twenty four
in December, second overall pick at LSU could be a
quarterback one if only for his rushing out put before
long in Washington despite a really bad offensive line. That's
the one red flag or pauster concern. Bo Nick's twenty four.
He's a twelfth overall selection from Oregon this year. Could
be in the driver's seat to become Denver starter right
out of the gate. We'll see about that. And then
Ray Davis is twenty five and November fourth rounderrold of
Kentucky has been struggling with fumbles already in training camp.
That is not great, but he could become a good
volume threat in the red zone. Dude was bulky frame
or replacement to la Tavis Murray. Not a huge threat
though initially to James Cook. The other side of the
trade was Brock Bauers twenty two in December, thirteenth overall
pick from Georgia. He's going to be an X factor
for the Raiders, a moving piece that operates and functions
as more of a wide out than traditional tight end,
whereas Michael Mehrick still remain a tight end and blocking
opponent for the offense. Bowers could become a top three
to five tight end in Dynasty before long. Sam Howells
interesting could replace you know spit in Seattle before much
time passes in the twenty twenty four season.
Speaker 2: He's twenty four.
Speaker 1: September right discussed my outlook on Pennish Junior more valuable
and super flex than one quarterback League's tywand Tracy Junior
is twenty five in November, a fifth rownder from Purdue
had a lot of buzz post Combine and then even
a bit pre draft a late round pick. There's other
mounts of feed for the Giants like Eric Gray as
well as the presum starter Devin Singlitary. All in all
pretty fair trade, the highlights being Jaden Daniels and Rock
Bowers and east Side respectively. I do think I prefer
the Daniels and bo Nick's side if I had to
pick one. Next up was exaber laguet Rasheen al Lei
and a twenty five to fifth for Jetavion Sanders, Roman
Wilson and Will Shipley. With it being a tiny premium league,
I could see the Lagette versus Sanders debate. I prefer
the Lagette side. Who's twenty three to thirty second overall
pick out of South Carolina, which, if it all clicks,
we're talking about in AJ Brown level talent. The downside
could be arrange of welcomes like Treylon Burks.
Speaker 2: Time will tell.
Speaker 1: Lagett has to remain healthy before a long them, expecting
to become a focal point or go to weapon for
Brece Young and Dave Canalis. Rasheen A Lei twenty three
fifth Browner from Marshall. He does not have an immediate
pat the snaps behind Eric Henry, but he's a do
it all type running back that is exceptional as a
pass catcher. The other side was Tavion Sanders, who is
twenty one very young fourth rounder from Texas who did
excel the college level despite ample competition. Adie Mitchell, Jonathan
Brooks at one point, b Jon Robinson, Roshawn Johnson, Xavier
Worthy obviously a lot to contend with their Roman Wilson
was injured this past weekend's training camp. Sounds like he's
week to week. He's twenty three third round pick out
of Michigan could well generally become wide out two instead
of Van Jefferson alongside George Pickens. So Hopefully Wilson can
bounce back really quickly. If not him, then Kelvin Austin
and then Will Shipley twenty two in August, a fourth
brought out of Clemson, is receiving first team reps for
the Eagles early on in training camp. That is not
only notable for Saquon Barkley, but even Kenneth gain Will.
So keep your eye on Will Shipley as a deep
league sleeper or late round target, even in redraft formats.
Speaker 2: We'll see how the preseason shapes out.
Speaker 1: I do tend to when these packages go for what
I think is the highest ceiling player.
Speaker 2: For me, that's Lagett.
Speaker 1: The next trade in this league was Blake corm Calvin
Ridley at twenty five to fourth for Marshall Lloyd Christian
Watson at twenty five to third. This is I think
a fifty to fifty straight up fair deal. Blake korm
Is twenty four in November, third rounder out of Michigan
sounds like the Rams vision him more of a in
case of emergency or clone to Kien Williams. If Kyron's hurt,
then unseeding Kyron still a good South second or third
round pick in rookie leagues. Calvin Ridley is thirty in December,
so age is not on his side, but he signed
a lucrative four year, ninety two million dollar contract with
the Titans during the offseason, with a whopping fifty million guaranteed.
As I mentioned and discussed while assessing the value of
the younger Hopkins earlier in this episode, the same applies
in theory four. Ridley with so much target competition that
he might not ever reach the ceiling in value that
he saw last year in his return to NFL with
Jacksonville because of Will Levis and other offensive personnel at
running back, wide, receiver, tight end.
Speaker 2: You get the picture.
Speaker 1: The other side this trade was Marshawn Lloyd's twenty three
third round out. Usc been dealing with a hip injury.
He's back at training camp. Sounds like a limited capacity.
I do think that he could push Josh Shacops four
volume at some point, but make no mistake that Jacobs
is RB one for the Packers. And then Christian Watson
identified the hamstring woes or reasons why he was sidelined
or dealing with so many self issue injuries from a
study during the off season program, and it was that
one of his hamstrings was smaller than the other, so
hopefully that is situated and good to go. This trade
I think is going to boil down to Blake Corm
versus Marshawn Lloyd because Ridley versus Watson when you examine
their creer, arcs and age gap is probably pretty fair.
If you're a win now team, I think the Ridley
side makes more sense. The last trade I want to
break down from this league is a twenty five first,
a twenty five third Dawson Knox Jordan Whittington Chris Arriguez
Junior for Devonte Adams, James Connor and Noah Fan.
Speaker 2: This is a huge trade.
Speaker 1: Again, context being everything I prefer to roster. What I
think are the highest ceiling players are the known commodities.
That's Adams, Connor, and Fant. The twenty five first and
super flex could really dictate who wins and loses this
long term. Nonetheless, let's discuss it. Knox is twenty eight November.
He is no longer the de facto tight end one
in Buffalo. He's a better blocker than Kinkaid, but Dalton
cad is the much more a peenly fantasy asset. Remember
the name. It's Jordan Wittington. He's a rookie for the
Rams twenty four in October, a sixth rounder out of
Texas who did not do much because of Worthy Sanders
Brooks and Adie Mitchell. But he's already receiving first team reps.
He's not going to be the next poop in Akua.
But if if he is going to unseat de Marcus
Robinson in three receiver sets, then it's notable. And it
sounds like he is lighting it up each and every
day in practice. Somebody should be rostering if you can
a nice sleeper. And then Rolriguez Junior twenty five September
showed some bursts or glimpses of potential or hope last season.
Speaker 2: But make no mistake, that.
Speaker 1: Is Brian Robinson, Austin Eckler, and then a distant third
sounds like c rod in Washington. The other side is Adams,
who's thirty two and December. There's trade speculation reuniting with
the Jets, or rather Aaron Rodgers in New York from
the Green Bay time together. That's pure speculation unless we
hear otherwise. Adams is under contract with the Raiders of
twenty twenty seven. He's tough to assess and ranking Dynasty
because you know he's a virtual lot for one hundred catches,
yet the age cliff is in the back of your
mind as a legitimate concern. James Connor twenty nine, Trey
Benson breathing on his neck. I don't want to overly
invest in Connor, but I think in this trade structure
was a nice deal in value and they know a
fans I've been talking about for a while part of
my Bolt Prediction episode. He's twenty seven over I think
is a breakout candidate to reach new heights and value
and a clear tight end one in Seattle, and that's
hard to find and it being tightened premium. Give me
the Adams, Connor and Fant side of this trade. The
last league to discuss it is called the Dynasty Degenerates League,
and I have quite a few transactions or trades to assess.
This is a twelve team tight end premium full PPR
super flex format, so pretty similar to most of my
league structures. First trade is TJ. Hockinson Javon Baker for
David Njoku and Jalen Wright.
Speaker 2: Oh.
Speaker 1: Also, this league, unlike any others is point twenty five
point per carry, so that makes a difference when it
comes to running back value. I prefer the Hockinson side
and Titan premium. He's twenty seven puplist candidate. By the
time the season begins, we will see or quartterally ahead
of schedule, but we hear that oh so often Hockinson
suffered the late season ACL tear.
Speaker 2: Keep an eye on the timeline.
Speaker 1: Javon Baker is lighting it up in training camp, but
Drod Mayo has said that he has allowed to learn
such as throwing the ball in the air after a
big catch that would be a fumble in the real
world or game action. So perhaps a lack of maturity
from Baker, but a lot of untapped potential as well.
Fourth Brown are at UCF who is a great vertical
field stretcher, one of the best among twenty twenty four
wideouts rookies. That is, other side of the trade was
David Njokuho's twenty eight, a fixture for the Browns offense
who at one point was the legitimate title one overall
during certain stretches of twenty twenty three. And then Jalen
Wright is twenty one a fourth round selection out of Tennessee.
I've spoken about him a lot, one of my most
roster rookies from this year. He's a blend of Rahem
Moster and Devon Asham with the speed in the size.
Sign me up for as many shares as possible if
you can. I do prefer though in this league Hockinson
and Baker, but Djoku right as a solid return. The
next deal was Marvin Mims Junior Michael Wilson for Brandon
Cooks and Bucky Irving.
Speaker 2: Seems pretty bounced.
Speaker 1: Mims Junior is twenty two, could be a starter for
the Broncos in twenty twenty four as a sophomore. Michael
Wilson lost a lot of value of the addition of
Marvin Hicks Junior. Obviously, he's twenty four, but still could
be Wide Out two White Out three if not for
Jay Jones or Greg Dorsch and Arizona. There's some upside
baked into Wilson's role. Other side of this, Brandon Cooks,
who's thirty one in September, seems to be locked in
as wide Out two behind Ceedee Lamb and the uncertainty
of Lamb's contract, and then Bucky Irving is twenty two
in August.
Speaker 2: A fourth Browner out of.
Speaker 1: Oregon could push to compliment or be a change of
pays weapon to Rashad White in twenty twenty four. I
think that this is a pretty fair deal. I like
Rovin Mims and I like Bucky Irving the most, So
Wilson versus Cooks could be the deciding factor in the
specific trade UPNEX was Desmond Ritter, Romeo Dobbs, Roman Wilson
for Alvil Kamara interesting one Ridder twenty five in August.
Speaker 2: He should back up Kyler Mary in Arizona. That is
sort of valuable in super flex no standalone value though.
Speaker 1: Romeo Dobbs I think is arguably the most valuable green
Bay wide out behind Nadp, Jaden Reed and Christian Watson.
At cost much for Romeo Dobbs or Dantevion Wicks. Roman
Wilson talked about himlready, so we know the timeline. We're
waiting on the week's week injury. And then Alval Kamara
is twenty nine. He's under contract with the Saints till
twenty twenty six, So that is the uncertainty in this trade.
Is it going to be Dobbs and Roman Wilson greatest
sign of value in alcam Era or is alvil Camara
going to really help this team contend and potentially win
in twenty twenty four. Right now, I prefer Kamara in
a point twenty five point per carrier league, but don't
be surprised if Dobbs before long comes.
Speaker 2: The most valuable asset in its entire trade.
Speaker 1: Next up was a twenty five first Bucky Irving for
Devonte Adams and Ady Mitchell. This is going to come
down to the twenty five first in a super flex format.
Irving talked about him already, Adams discussed him already. Adi Mitchell,
you all know whar to stand on him? One of
my favorite all around pure prospects in the twenty twenty
four class. He's twenty two in October, second round out
of Texas. It seems like almost every day I'm seeing
positive praise or a clip out of training camp that
is a wow play from Adi Micschell, and I think
before long he's going to push Michael Pittman for significant
role on offense alongside Anthony Richardson. And the final trade
is one that I made, which was Chris Godwin, and
in twenty five fourth for Austin Eckler and Darnell Mooney.
I'm the receiver of Eckler and Mooney fair trade. I
think Goblin's twenty eight contract year going back to the
slot where he's excelled for most of his career tenure
in the NFL, and then Eckler, I just think there's
a great Bilo window on him. Was never quite right
in twenty twenty three on the Heigel Sprain, I think
less volume, more efficient season store for twenty twenty four
in tandem with Brian Robinson, and quite honestly, it will
not shock me if Darnell Mooney is as a more
valuable than Chris Godwin, a this kind of version of him,
if you will, With the lack of past catchers besides
Drake London, Bijon Robinson and Kyle Pittson Atlanta, Mooney is
twenty seven.
Speaker 2: In October, he signed a huge three year, thirty nine.
Speaker 1: Million dollar contract with the Falcons over the offseason, twenty
six million guaranteed. Mooney has had some big plays and
one standout season with the Bears. He might not be
as talented as Chris Godwin, but everything comes down to role,
situation and usage, and I would not be shocked if
Mooney is on part with Godwin end of season and
catch his yards, touchdowns or fantasy value.
Speaker 2: So if it's then Eckler versus.
Speaker 1: Fourth in a point for Kerry League, give me Eckler
ten times out of ten any day of the week
for that value threshold.
Speaker 2: That will do it for this week's episode.
Speaker 1: Hope you enjoyed it a pivot for my normal content
that is usually stat based. If you did like it
found entertaining, let me know I could do a few
of these each and every year, both off and in season,
evaluating recent Donte trades in my paid money leagues. Thank
you all again for listening. Until next time, This is
the Dynasty.
Speaker 2: Do checking out. Hope you all a great rest of
the week. Talk to you soon, see you
