Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Do Podcast. I'm your host,
Corey Evans. This week's episode is titled Undervalue tight Ends.
We're at a point now in Dynasty if you don't
have a competitive edge at tight end in the form
of Brock Bauers, Trey McBride, Sam Laporta, George Kiddo, Let's Hope,
Colson Lovelin, Tyler Warren Lesser, Extent, Mark Andrews, Tuckercraft, etc.
Then it's hard to pinpoint what tight ends could be
breakout candidates, solid values, or on the horizon as emerging
on the respective teams. This week, I have five what
I think are undervalue tight ends that I'm looking to
acquire right now before the buzz either increases or they
offer more usage anticipated this upcoming season. If you want

undervalue tight end is Isaiah Likely, who is twenty five.
Let's look at his first three years of production twenty
twenty two thirty six three seventy three three ten point
four yards per catch, sixty targets as the PPR tight
end twenty seven pretty good as a rookiey re software campaign,
thirty four to eleven five touchdowns, thirteen point seven yards
per catch, forty targets increase his value, though PPR tenand
twenty five still a tight end. Three and twelve teen
leagues not quite on a tight end. Two surface enter
year three twenty twenty four. Likely emerged forty two four
to seventy seven and six eleven point four yards per perception,
fifty eight targets as the PPR tight end sixteen goes
a show what a few more catches, yards or touchdown
can do for a tight end in today's landscape of
the position. He has not exceeded sixty targets or surpassed
forty two catches, four to seventy seven yards receiving, or
six touchdowns in a campaign. However, entering a contract year
for both Likely and Mark Andrews Puts both in line
for an extension. The issue is we don't know the
inside perspective of Baltimore's franchise if they want to extend
both tight ends one of Likely or Andrews. Andrews has
been a subject of trade speculation quite some time now.
To mention the restructure contract or extension that Lamar Jackson
is going to demand soon, which could complicate Isaiah Likely's
timeline to get extended or hit the open market as
a free agent. I tend to think that this is
the time to pounce on Likely. Ravens had coach John
Harbo said that he wants to see Likely being All
Pro this season, which would indicate perhaps an increased or
surge in production.
Speaker 2: Isaiah had a huge Week.
Speaker 1: One, as we can all recall, in twenty twenty four
against the Chiefs, nine catches, one hundred eleven yards and
a touchdown across twelve targets, yet did not surpass five
receptions or seventy five yards receive in another contest last season,
so he was feaster Famin Boomer bust. With that peak
coming right out of the gate in week one, We're
now at the point where Isaiah Likely versus Mark Andrews
is a conversation to be had in terms of who
do you prefer to roster in dynasty leagues. With the
youth on likely side, Andrews has been the more stable
veteran consistent year over year. If both a rain of Baltimore,
we should expect more of the same potentially, with Likely
becoming more of a receiver than traditional tight end. However,
if Andrews is traded or one of likely Andrews leaves Baltimore,
then both will be tight end one candidates. Therefore target
costs for me, as Isaiah likely is still an undervalued
tight end is a second, whether to twenty twenty five
or twenty twenty six. Basically, if you want in on
likely shares this year with a second being the likely
price tag, then you have to prefer him over the
cluster of rookie tight ends in that second round range.
It's not going to be love, Linda Warren. You're looking
at Mason Taylor, Terrence Ferguson, or Elijah Royo. That's a
subjective opinion that you have to decide for yourself.
Speaker 2: We know what Likely is.
Speaker 1: Harbaugh is touting and advocating for more work towards Likely,
and he's one trade of Andrews away from seeing a
huge jump in value. Therefore, I do recommend buying shares
of Likely now while the price is not a control,
because he's still a bit undervalid compared to other tight
ends in ADP. The issue is if you spend a
first now you want to get ahead of the curve,
spending a slight premium and Andrews remains in Baltimore, it
could backfire a bit, which is why I recommend a
second as opposed to a first. Mason Taylor with the
Jets another tight end that I am very interested in
right now across the dynasty leagues. He's only twenty one
second round pick forty two overall this year out of
LSU six' five two fifty one did not tested the,
combine but posted proto numbers of a four point sixty
five to forty and a seven point six second three cone,
drill solid change of, direction versatility as more of a
big slot or outside perimeterive receiver than all round tight.
End thirty eight games played WITH lsu production of one
twenty nine thirteen oh eight six touchdowns ten point one
yards per caet so a lot more underneath as it posted.
Downfield taylor impressed During OTA's and could quickly emerge as
The jets tight end one Over Jeremy ruckert Or Stone.
Smart it's not even out of the question That Mason
taylor ends up as the third most targeted playmaker for
voling purposes Behind Breesaw Garrett wilson In New york this upcoming.
CAMPAIGN espn reported That taylor should have a significant rookie
Role that seems rather obviously this point based on draft
capital and a lack of pass catchers for just in
fields of. Targets the one red flag or past concern
With taylor's profile is his blocking or a lack of
prowess in that. Category sure that can be talked in
terms of, Technique, however tight ends usually start off slow
to begin, with so If Mason taylor's not every down
player for a team that desperately needs a tight, end
then it could be a slow process until he is
up to speed pass catching.
Speaker 2: Traits i'm very.
Speaker 1: Excited target, cost especially with ROOKIE, adp is around a
third this year most of the. Time if he's not
in the, second Then Terrence ferguson Or Elijah royal went
ahead of. Him Mason taylor is shaping up as a
terrific consolation prize if you miss out On Tyler warren
Or Colson lovelin in rookie drafts this, year and it's
surely possible by the end of the twenty twenty five
season that he is one of the most targeted tight
ends in all of football based on peer. Opportunity someone
that is being a bit overlooked in that cluster of
rookie tight ends who has, youth pedigree and a favorable.
Speaker 2: Situation working in his.
Speaker 1: Direction immediately up Is Thomas faddon Or fadoni here pronounced both.
Ways The, giants another rookie turns twenty three To, september
a seventh round pick out Of. Nebraska he's undervalued for
a few. Reasons, first the athletic profile six five two forty,
three four point seven to forty yard, dash one point
five second second ten yard split thirty five and A
halvags vertical ten foot six inch broad and a seven
point zero one second three cone drill that does not
reflect a seventh round. Prospect those numbers are in line
with this year's cream of the crop tight end, prospects
or even in line with a few other top tier
names of rookies in years. Past twenty six games played
In nebraska limited production because he tores acl in twenty twenty,
one did bounce back twenty twenty three to twenty twenty.
Four his entire collegiate resume is sixty one six thirty
three and four touchdowns ten point four yards per.
Speaker 2: Catch this is situation where you.
Speaker 1: Fire up the tape On, fidon you see better on
field abilities then compiled. Stats the reason WHY i think
That fidon is undervalue is because The giants ten end
room is. Undecided you Have Theo johnson who is recovering
from A Liz frank injury that required surgery last. Season Daniel,
Bellinger Greg dolcick not locks to make the team and
or have legitimate. Roles sure If fidon suffered that torn
acl he bounced, back AS i mentioned late over the
past two, seasons sort of Like Mason. Taylor the one
area of question or concerned is That Thomas fadon second
needs to improve on his ability to block to emerge
as an every down. Weapon the pass catching traits after
the catch instincts and prowess are.
Speaker 2: There we saw it With.
Speaker 1: Nebraska the nice part About fidon's, costs which should be
no more than a fourth fifth rookie draft pick if
not an ad off the waiver, wire is that there's
room for a lot of profit or growth. Here there
is no expectation Of fidon doing much of, anything which
is why Someone i'm targeting later rookie drafts or as
an ad to just stashing my team and see what.
Happens The giants are going to be facing a ton
of negative games script IF Theo johnson does not return
to full, form then someone.
Speaker 2: Needs to step.
Speaker 1: Up and there's already been positive reports out Of OTA's
And mini caamp for For, dome which is nice to
see and. Hear for a day free pick that was so,
late quick break be right back with two more undervalue
tight ends THAT i am looking to acquire or stash
right now in dynasty before we get to, That if
you want a one on one roster call over On
Google meet to talk about your team or teams top
to bottom strategy across the entire league for, trades rookie,
drafts both prior. Post i'm here for. That thirty, bucks thirty,
minutes one, hour fifty. Dollars just hit me up on
social Media dinasy do pod on most, accounts or send
me an email to dinasydepod at gmail dot. Com we'll
be more than happy to get you on my calendar
and locked in to talk about your. Teams be right
back after quick commercial. Break Devin culp is next on the.
Agenda Tampa Bay buccaneers twenty. Five he had five catches
eighty eight yards for seventeen point six yards, perception only
six targets as a seventh round rookie out Of. Washington
in twenty twenty, four he had fifty four games played in.
College not the best stats for that long of a
college ten year sixty six seven to eleven four, scores
ten point eight yards per. Reception WHAT i am intrigued, about,
though is the standout athletic profile For colp six three
two thirty one four point four to seven. Forty that
was the fastest among twenty twenty four key tight ends
one point five five second ten yard, split meaning we
saw it and it is evident the speed and ability
it stretched the scene downfield in limited action For Tampa
bay last. Season the limited stats back up that explosive.
Speed two Of coulp's five catches for twenty plus. Yards
that's a big. Playability The buccaneers tight end depth Is
Kate odden And Paint durham outside Of Devin, colpe and
has already been plenty of reporting From buccaneers camp That
Devin clpe could emerge his tight end.
Speaker 2: Two Over Pain.
Speaker 1: Durham drops are and we're an issue For colp and.
College those could resurface at the pro level with more.
Volume even, So colp makes for a logical stash With
Kate odden entering a contract. Year If auden earns an,
extension then sure the appeal For cope emerging this offense
won't be as, great especially with loaded receivers Of Mike,
Evans Chris, got I'd.
Speaker 2: WIN i Met Guka gam. McMillan you get the.
Speaker 1: Picture the target cost For Devin cope is essentially. Free
he's a free agent in most, leagues so adam off
your waiver.
Speaker 2: Wire. Now if your league mates.
Speaker 1: Don't follow day to day reporting all that, close then
there's a good chance that not many people are aware
Of Tampa bay's excitement surrounding culp as a mismatch upfield
down the, scene which makes, him especially in tighter permid,
formats a logical undervalue tight end to acquire right now
in dynasty, leagues low, expectations with a possible high ceiling
if he were to overtake or Replace odden in the,
future and last but not least for an undervalue tight
end To Tavion sanders with The, Panthers he's twenty two
thirty three three forty two in a touchdown for ten
point four yards per catch four to three targets as
a fourth rounder out Of. Texas last, year he dealt
with a neck injury that did limit him across his
rookie campaign six four two forty, five four point six
to nine speed a one point five nine second ten yard.
Split sanders had thirty nine games played in school At
texas with really good, production ninety nine in twelve ninety
five seven scores thirteen point one yards per. Catch it's
hard to remember because he was A day three, pick fourth. Rounder,
however he was viewed by a lot of scouts and
MOST nfl media outlets as A day one Or day two.
Pick yet he's slid To day three in twenty twenty.
Four not to mention the encouraging sign or development of the,
offseason Or Justevion sanders shed some weight apparently ten pounds
or so and is running even faster In OTA's than
he ever was last. Season carolina's tight end room Is Tommy,
tremble dealing with his own injury and uncertain timeline to
return Rookie Mitchell. Evans the target cost at a ceiling
For Justavion sanders is a. SECOND i would instead look
to acquire for a, third because there's suddenly a lot
of mounts of feed In carolina at running back With Chuba,
hubbard Ric, O'Donnell possibly Eachevytn let a wide. RECEIVER i
was able to Get tedero, McMillan Adam, Feelin Jalen, Cocher
So Saveon sanders does not have a, concrete locked and
sealed target share to expect that being said he's undervalued
In dyster right now as the odden favorite to. EMERGE
a is titend one For carolina with a Developing Bryce
young in tandem With Dave, canalis who Like kevin O'Connell's
become a quarterback. Guru Shaeveon sanders could push her top
twelve value at tight end In Fants Football league this,
year which we know beyond the top five to eight
is not necessarily all that hard to. Do it's just
a matter of pinpointing who could emerge in that, territory
which brings me back to my point beginning of this.
Episode if you don't have the cream of the, crop
whether that Be Brock, Bauers trey, McBride George, Kittle Sam,
laporta or the Emerging Tyler Warren Colson, lovelin then you
have to take a ton of dart throws at the
titan position and attempt to identify those who could be
good values at the current. Cost and the five names
THAT i discussed today fit that criteria really. Well, again
those Were Isaiah likely WHO i would talk at, first,
Second Mason taylor a, Third thomasville the, second a, fourth
fifth or add off the waiver, Wire Devin colpe for
an ad off the waiver wire at worst a, fifth
and Then Shatavion sanders for a second or third on that.
Speaker 2: Borderline in, summary when.
Speaker 1: It comes to tight, END i want as many shots
at finding the next breakout or start the, position and
that requires using a good amount of roster resource space
on your team to stash and see what. Happens and
these five names particular stood out to me AND i
was just reviewing some RECENT adp shifts as well as
rankings across the industry as undervalued.
Speaker 2: Names thanks for.
Speaker 1: Listening if you enjoyed this big, show please drop a
five star review On apple Or. Spotify helps me out a.
