00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,399
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Due podcast. I am

2
00:00:23,440 --> 00:00:26,000
your host, Corey Evans. Thanks for checking out this week's show.

3
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:29,359
It is titled Bench to Standalone Value Upside. I have

4
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:33,439
five players who are currently projected for Dynasty benches that

5
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:37,719
could catapult to standalone value or starter territory in our

6
00:00:37,719 --> 00:00:40,079
lineups for twenty twenty five. Before I get to that,

7
00:00:40,159 --> 00:00:42,679
it is the perfect time to schedule a roster call

8
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:46,399
over on Google Meet to discuss your team situation pre

9
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:49,119
or post rookie draft what to do for the upcoming

10
00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:52,920
NFL season. I offer two time slots thirty bucks thirty

11
00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:56,079
minutes or fifty bucks for one hour. Reach Out to

12
00:00:56,119 --> 00:00:59,679
me via direct message on social media that's at Dynasty

13
00:00:59,719 --> 00:01:02,799
Do on most platforms, or send me an email to

14
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,480
Dynastydopod at gmail dot com to get your call coordinated

15
00:01:06,519 --> 00:01:09,599
and locked in asap. Let's get right to it, Bench

16
00:01:09,640 --> 00:01:11,200
to Standalone Value Upside up.

17
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:11,439
Speaker 2: First.

18
00:01:11,519 --> 00:01:14,359
Speaker 1: I have Jacob Cowing with the forty nine ers. He's

19
00:01:14,359 --> 00:01:17,840
twenty four, a fourth round pick out of Arizona. Last season,

20
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,599
he only had four catches for eighty yards across six

21
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,879
targets and fifteen games played. Minimal usage as well as

22
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,480
utilization in his rookie season did not surpass a nineteen

23
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:30,799
percent snap share until Week eighteen against Arizona, where he

24
00:01:30,879 --> 00:01:33,280
was then on the field for a sixty six percent

25
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,439
snap share. The primary reason why I believe Jacob Cowing

26
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:39,959
could become a standalone value asset in dynasty leagues is

27
00:01:40,079 --> 00:01:42,560
opportunity based. Do you have Juwan Jennings who's requesting a

28
00:01:42,599 --> 00:01:45,439
trade and or a new contract. Brandon Ayuk as well

29
00:01:45,480 --> 00:01:47,680
as Rickie Pearsaw on the pup list could be active

30
00:01:47,719 --> 00:01:49,359
at any point in training.

31
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:50,319
Speaker 2: Camp and be back.

32
00:01:50,359 --> 00:01:53,879
Speaker 1: However, we know that Ayuk post acl tair is more

33
00:01:53,879 --> 00:01:56,319
of a mid season projection in terms of returning in

34
00:01:56,359 --> 00:02:00,200
twenty twenty five, whereas Pearsall's hamstring injury seems minor or

35
00:02:00,239 --> 00:02:04,040
a cautious approach easing him in from that early offseason

36
00:02:04,400 --> 00:02:05,599
soft tissue injury.

37
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:07,439
Speaker 2: Now Colleen is undersized at.

38
00:02:07,319 --> 00:02:09,639
Speaker 1: Five to eight a BUCKS sixty eight, yet offers an

39
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:13,280
intriguing blend of athletic traits four point three eight forty

40
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,319
one point five to four ten yard split, thirty six

41
00:02:16,439 --> 00:02:18,879
inch vertical, nine foot eleven inx broad and a seven

42
00:02:18,919 --> 00:02:21,639
point zero two three cone drill. He had fifty eight

43
00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,439
career college games played three years with UTEP, two years

44
00:02:24,400 --> 00:02:28,120
of Arizona resultant in production of three sixteen forty four

45
00:02:28,199 --> 00:02:30,960
seventy seven thirty three receiving touchdowns for fourteen point two

46
00:02:31,039 --> 00:02:33,879
yards per ketch, twelve rushes one hundred and two yards

47
00:02:33,879 --> 00:02:36,560
and a touchdown on the ground. The Athletic report of

48
00:02:36,560 --> 00:02:39,319
this past week that Cowing quote could take a lot

49
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:43,080
of the departed Deebo Samuel gadget plays end quote and

50
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:46,240
supposedly added weight during the offseason, a bulk up from

51
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,639
his aforementioned rookie checking weight of one hundred and sixty

52
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,159
eight pounds. Callying has been a free agent in multiple

53
00:02:51,199 --> 00:02:53,479
of my DINAS leagues, has since been scooped over the

54
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:57,960
offseason domino effect of IU Pearsall Juwan not to mention

55
00:02:58,439 --> 00:03:01,319
much depth being added outside of Jordan Watkins, who I

56
00:03:01,319 --> 00:03:04,360
actually like as a stash late in rookie drafts or

57
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:08,080
an ad immediately once they're concluded. Either way, Colleen is

58
00:03:08,199 --> 00:03:12,039
a bench asset that has the now forecasted usage based

59
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:15,479
on injury or step start climbing to become a standalone

60
00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:19,639
value player in short order training camp, preseason. It's huge

61
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,719
for Coween's value. KeAndre Lambert Smith wide receiver, a rookie

62
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,520
for the Chargers up next. He turns twenty three later

63
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,960
on this month, a fifth rounder out of Auburn six

64
00:03:29,039 --> 00:03:32,080
's one one ninety four point three seven forty one

65
00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:34,759
point five three ten yards split thirty four inch vertical

66
00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,319
ten foot four inch broad, solid traits across the board.

67
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,479
Lambert Smith spent four years of Penn State and one

68
00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:43,039
year with Auburn, a total sixty games played in college

69
00:03:43,199 --> 00:03:47,080
output of one seventy six twenty seven h two, nineteen touchdowns,

70
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,120
fifteen point four yards per catch, similar to that of

71
00:03:50,319 --> 00:03:53,680
Jacob Coween. Lambert Smith faces now an opportunity, with Mike

72
00:03:53,719 --> 00:03:57,960
Williams retiring now to mention limited depth behind Labacacki, Quentin

73
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,879
Johnston rookie Tray Harris for wide receiver depth in LA.

74
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:05,960
There's been speculation post retirement of Mike Williams that Keenan Allen,

75
00:04:06,039 --> 00:04:08,960
still a free agent, could reunite or former reunion with

76
00:04:09,039 --> 00:04:12,319
the Chargers organization. That would certainly damper the outlook of

77
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,560
KeAndre Lambert Smith. Even so, he at least now has

78
00:04:15,599 --> 00:04:17,879
an opportunity to carve out a role in three receiver

79
00:04:17,920 --> 00:04:21,439
sets if he has a strong training camp, let alone preseason.

80
00:04:21,600 --> 00:04:25,079
While we know that the combination of head coach Jim

81
00:04:25,120 --> 00:04:29,040
Harbaugh oc Greg Rohman is run centric, we saw what

82
00:04:29,120 --> 00:04:33,160
lab McConkey did in this offense with Justin Herbert as

83
00:04:33,199 --> 00:04:34,240
a rookie last season.

84
00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:35,319
Speaker 2: The ceiling for.

85
00:04:35,319 --> 00:04:37,920
Speaker 1: Lambert Smith is nowhere near as high. However, if you

86
00:04:37,959 --> 00:04:40,759
can't get shares of Trey Harris in the second round

87
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,879
of Eurokey drafts this summer, pivoting or waiting for Lambert

88
00:04:44,879 --> 00:04:47,920
Smith in the fourth, fifth round or a free ad

89
00:04:47,959 --> 00:04:50,439
after the fact is well worth the potential of him

90
00:04:50,439 --> 00:04:53,399
going from a bench commodity to a standalone value asset

91
00:04:53,639 --> 00:04:57,079
before our eyes. Bershard Smith, running back, Kansas City, twenty

92
00:04:57,120 --> 00:04:59,680
two years old, a seventh round selection of SMU in

93
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:02,920
stein case here for him five point ten one ninety

94
00:05:02,920 --> 00:05:05,600
four four point three nine forty one point five eight

95
00:05:05,639 --> 00:05:07,560
ten yards split, thirty two and a half ins vertical,

96
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,240
nine foot nine inch broad. He spent three years with

97
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,959
Miami as a wide receiver, then transitioned to running back

98
00:05:14,040 --> 00:05:15,199
with SMU.

99
00:05:14,879 --> 00:05:15,759
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty four.

100
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,720
Speaker 1: Forty nine total games played in school as a receiver,

101
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,839
a log of one to eight ten ninety seven eight touchdowns,

102
00:05:21,879 --> 00:05:24,879
ten point two yards per catch as a rusher, primarily

103
00:05:24,920 --> 00:05:26,959
in twenty twenty four, but collectively the total was two

104
00:05:26,959 --> 00:05:30,279
for three fifteen oh nine fifteen rushing scores for a

105
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,279
crisp six yards per rush. ESPN reported in early July

106
00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:37,040
that the Chiefs have plans for bershard Smith already have

107
00:05:37,199 --> 00:05:39,519
used him extensively out of the backfield from the slot

108
00:05:39,519 --> 00:05:42,720
split out wide. There is a logjam at running back

109
00:05:42,759 --> 00:05:46,040
Isaiah pa Checko, Kareem Hunt, Elijah Mitchell formerly the forty

110
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:49,000
nine ers. Therefore, it's an uphill battle for a bershard

111
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:50,720
Smith made a team B for him to have a

112
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:54,680
legitimate role for fantasy. A fair comparison for converted wide

113
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:57,800
receiver turn running back is Tyrone Tracy Junior that was

114
00:05:57,879 --> 00:05:58,839
a success.

115
00:05:58,480 --> 00:05:59,959
Speaker 2: Story last season with the Giant.

116
00:06:00,399 --> 00:06:04,600
Speaker 1: Theoretically, same outlook or role could exist for bershard Smith

117
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:07,240
in an even better high cotane offense in Kansas City.

118
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:10,040
Not to mention Isaiah bcchecko being proof of concept as

119
00:06:10,079 --> 00:06:12,800
a former Day three pick himself and the Chiefs fantasy

120
00:06:12,839 --> 00:06:16,079
friendly offense that a high ceiling is achievable. Prochecko was

121
00:06:16,079 --> 00:06:18,319
the PPRRB fifteen at his best. So far in twenty

122
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:21,839
twenty three, Brashard Smith's rookie ADP has climbed since May

123
00:06:21,879 --> 00:06:24,680
and June from the fourth round for the most part

124
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,399
to now pushing back into the second if not smack

125
00:06:27,480 --> 00:06:30,399
dab in the third based on exposure to Andy Reid

126
00:06:30,439 --> 00:06:33,600
Patrick Mahomes. I'm all on board for that cost or

127
00:06:33,639 --> 00:06:36,759
evaluation when it comes to his potential in the league.

128
00:06:37,199 --> 00:06:39,639
Not going to demand the same premium of the top

129
00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:41,959
tier running backs in this year's twenty twenty five class

130
00:06:42,079 --> 00:06:44,519
so Bershard Smith is looking like a lottery ticket that

131
00:06:44,879 --> 00:06:47,040
sure starts off as a bench piece for us in

132
00:06:47,120 --> 00:06:49,759
dynasty leagues. If he makes the team, could easily become

133
00:06:49,759 --> 00:06:52,399
a standalone value contributor to our starting lineups.

134
00:06:52,399 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: Time for quick break.

135
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,720
Speaker 1: I'll be back with two more bench to standalone value

136
00:06:55,759 --> 00:06:58,199
upside players before I get to that. Patreon is my

I am released Seeing a Quarterback depth Chart, a spreadsheet

146
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:28,759
of all thirty two NFL backups and what about pay

147
00:07:28,759 --> 00:07:32,480
for them in superflex leagues. It was a fun exercise

148
00:07:32,519 --> 00:07:34,800
because off the bat, I thought I knew all thirty

149
00:07:34,839 --> 00:07:39,160
two backups. When I did the actual homework and data mining,

150
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,000
there were actually a few that I was surprised and

151
00:07:41,079 --> 00:07:43,800
were caught off guard by didn't realize that the backup

152
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,160
was on that team from a few off season moves

153
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:49,839
that snuck under the radar. I think it's a beneficial

154
00:07:49,959 --> 00:07:52,959

or even in the regular season when you need that

158
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,000
quick checkpoint for who the backup is and what I

159
00:08:04,040 --> 00:08:06,439
be willing to spend for them in a super flex format.

160
00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:12,360
Be right back after a quick break, Let's discuss Marshaun Lloyd,

161
00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,000
twenty four third round pick in twenty twenty four out

162
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:17,279
of USC. He spent two years in school at South

163
00:08:17,319 --> 00:08:19,920
Carolina and that one season with USC, for a total

164
00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:22,920
of thirty two college games played with collegiate output career

165
00:08:22,959 --> 00:08:26,639
wise of two ninety one sixteen twenty one nineteen rushing touchdowns.

166
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:29,560
That's five point six yards per rush, thirty four grabs,

167
00:08:29,720 --> 00:08:32,960
four forty two two touchdowns, thirteen point three yards per catch.

168
00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:35,279
He appeared in only one contest as a rookie for

169
00:08:35,320 --> 00:08:39,159
green Bay, six rushes fifteen yards due to hip, hamstring,

170
00:08:39,200 --> 00:08:41,480
and ankle injuries. He also dealt with a pendicitis that

171
00:08:41,519 --> 00:08:44,000
required surgery. It was a red shirt year in a

172
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:47,279
sense from Marshaun Lloyd. Lloyd since then is apparently one

173
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:49,679
hundred percent healthy. He spoke to reporters back in June

174
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,320
and said that he has been fully recovered for quite

175
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:55,120
some time now, which does bode well for his sophomore outlook.

176
00:08:55,399 --> 00:08:59,120
I foresee a bench to standalone value path for Marshaan Lloyd.

177
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,480
Because the Packers are roll behind, josh Acups is up

178
00:09:01,519 --> 00:09:05,559
for grabs between Lloyd himself, Emmanuel Wilson, Chris Brooks. Green

179
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:08,159
Bay spent a Day two pick on Lloyd only a

180
00:09:08,200 --> 00:09:11,360
year ago. Clearly the franchise envisions him as a compliment

181
00:09:11,480 --> 00:09:15,440
or eventually heir apparent to Josh Sjacups, assuming health cooperates.

182
00:09:15,720 --> 00:09:17,919
A lot of people in Dynasty of a sour perception

183
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:22,440
of Marshaon Lloyd after disappointing rookie year that took place,

184
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:26,399
meaning a by the window exists, which means new rookie

185
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:29,120
running backs in the tier of Camp Scataboo or base

186
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,120
Shall Tuton are likely going to cost more than Marshaon Lloyd,

187
00:09:32,159 --> 00:09:36,279
despite similar opportunities that are projected ahead of them. In

188
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:39,840
twenty twenty five. Marshawn Lloyd is also an injury away

189
00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:42,159
from Josh Shacops, away from becoming a plug and play

190
00:09:42,240 --> 00:09:45,279
RB one or at least a matchup based RB two. Finally,

191
00:09:45,399 --> 00:09:48,159
let's discuss Dylan Sampson. He's only twenty years old, turns

192
00:09:48,159 --> 00:09:50,600
twenty one September. Talk about youth on your side from

193
00:09:50,600 --> 00:09:53,480
a Dynasty Lens. Sampson's a fourth rounder out of Tennessee

194
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,639
five eight two hundred thirty five inch vertical ten forms

195
00:09:56,679 --> 00:10:00,440
broad three seasons in school Tennessee across thirty five games played.

196
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,879
Let's wait four to twenty two, twenty four to ninety

197
00:10:02,879 --> 00:10:06,159
two thirty five touchdown rushing log five point nine yards

198
00:10:06,200 --> 00:10:09,000
per rush. Just shy that six yard clip forty grabs

199
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:12,399
three forty two in a touchdown. Outstanding production in that

200
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,200
limited sample size, combined with a solid, if not above average,

201
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:19,919
athletic profile, forecasts well for Sampson. Prior to the Quinn

202
00:10:19,919 --> 00:10:23,840
shown Judkins situation, sampsons KADP was mostly the third round

203
00:10:24,159 --> 00:10:26,720
that since has changed. He's now a second round, or

204
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,240
at least that's where his ADP is going to end

205
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:30,159
up for given another month or two prior to start

206
00:10:30,240 --> 00:10:34,000
by their season. Speaking of Judkins, he's facing league discipline

207
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,039
after being charged with domestic battery. He could even be

208
00:10:36,039 --> 00:10:38,799
put on pay leave if when he signs his second

209
00:10:38,879 --> 00:10:41,399
round contract, which at the times recording has not taken place.

210
00:10:41,639 --> 00:10:45,200
The Browns are in a tricky situation with Judkins. There

211
00:10:45,279 --> 00:10:48,200
is now the assumed starter, Jerome Ford, the veteran who

212
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,320
figures a slot in as the Browns RB one if

213
00:10:50,399 --> 00:10:53,240
Judkins does miss time in twenty twenty five. Let's reflect

214
00:10:53,279 --> 00:10:55,159
back and see that Ford's best season came in twenty

215
00:10:55,159 --> 00:10:58,080
twenty three as a PPRRB sixteen filed suit in the

216
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,480
twenty twenty four as a PPRRB thirty three. Meanwhile, prior

217
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:05,039
to the Judkins saga, Dylan Sampson was already receiving work

218
00:11:05,080 --> 00:11:07,720
as both a running back and receiver in practice sessions,

219
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,200
which means he might have the Jerome Ford role. While

220
00:11:11,399 --> 00:11:14,519
at least in the short term or interim, Ford takes

221
00:11:14,559 --> 00:11:17,200
over for the perceived role of quin Sewan Juckkins, the

222
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:20,679
situation has a lot of time to play out. However,

223
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:23,960
Sampson has been a pre draft and post draft favorite

224
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:25,960
of mind purely based on skill sets and what he

225
00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,159
accomplished with Tennessee at the college level. So if you

226
00:11:28,200 --> 00:11:30,600
have a share already or multiple shares, it's a room

227
00:11:30,639 --> 00:11:32,960
for profit to either flip or hold and see how

228
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,600
the situation ultimately pans out for Sampson. Either way, this

229
00:11:36,759 --> 00:11:41,200
is a positive development for Sampson's fantasy forecast, with now

230
00:11:41,360 --> 00:11:43,840
only his real competition depending on what happens with Judkins.

231
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:47,480
Jerome Ford in Sampson's way to become a bench the

232
00:11:47,519 --> 00:11:49,399
standalone value asset that will.

233
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:50,600
