Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Dude Podcast. I am
your host, Corey Evans. This week's show is titled five
Lottery Ticket Players. I've done this theme before. I have
five players that are Boom, er Bus, Feazer, Famine. If
you hit the lottery with them, they could win you
a week, let alone win you a league. And as
we approach the fantasy postseason, there's a lot to like
here out of these players. If the upside does pan
out or hit even conversely, they could be long term
investments in Dynasty because when they do deliver at top
tier peak value, the rewards greatly outweigh the cost.
Speaker 2: Let's get right to it up.
Speaker 1: First, is Jamison Williams coming off a huge performance seven grabs,
one hundred and forty four yards and a touchdown, ten
targets Green Bay ninety four percent of snaps. It is
worth mentioning that Jamison's best Fantasy output of thrown twenty
five coincided with Amana Saint Brown missing almost the entire
matchup after getting rolled up on during that block, which
unfortunately led to that low grade ankle sprain, which prompted
Jamison to have that massive performance. Williams has six single
nig JiTT PPR showings including two zero performances, two Goose
eggs and six Doultagy PPR showings the definition of feast
or famine. So far the season, he has therefore been
the definition of a lottery ticket where he's going to
win or lose you a week in a sense vintage
Deshaun Jackson or Mike Wallace for some old school comparisons.
The issue is that without Ben Johnson, Jamison's role or
breakout compared to the previous season has not been as consistent.
Now at the combination of play colin coming from Dan
Campbell and OC John Morton snapsheer, that has not been
an issue for Jamison. Season low, checking in eighty two percent,
season high at ninety seven percent. He's been involved. He
is a critical piece of the lines off. The issue
is is that at times he's a field stretcher opening
things up underneath for Amena or Gibbs Montgomery, at times
Cleve Raymond and for sure Sam Laporta went healthy. More
to come on those injuries and what it means for Jamison. Shortly,
the targets have been olver the map, with the peak
most being ten and the valley lowest being one, which
is so sporadic and does not really put much confidence
into starring Jamison weekend week out, the yards receiving have
been either zero or the highest one forty four cross
all of Detroit's contests to date. Factors working in Jameson's
favorite rest of season include Cleive Raymond dealing with ankle injury,
Sam Laporta on ir with that back injury and surgery,
and then Amora the main focal point here in question,
I'm recording this before Thursday Night a football with his
ankle injury. If Amora misses any more time, albeit one
to two more weeks, which is the timeline that has
been provided, then Jamison should be a surefire start said
to forget it type wide out with the sky high ceiling,
even with or without Omena, assuming he's back sooner than later.
Laporta being out is a huge X factor for Jameson's
role to catapult rest of the way best of all,
whether you're out of the playoff picture or in playoff
contection making that postseason or championship push. Williams is under
contract with the Lions with that recent extension until twenty thirty,
so it is a stable, ascending young asset that is
clicking now without Ben Johnson. It took time to get
to this point, arguably though it's coming at the perfect
time with the Fantasy playoffs upon US lottery ticket, no
doubt about it, but Jamison could very well be a
league winner in twenty twenty five. Terry McLaurin, he's back
from his reoccurring quad injury. He had seven receptions ninety
six yards and a touchdown, fourteen targets versus Denver, only
in on fifteen more percent of snaps. Dan Quinn did
say it would be a limited role. It surely was
just above that fifty percent threshold. Terry has played in
only five games this season. Week one first the Giants,
two receptions twenty seven yards, four targets. Week two against
Green Bay five receptions forty eight yards, nine targets. Week
three first the Raiders, three for seventy four four targets.
Week eight against Kansas City was three fifty four touchdown,
four targets. Reinjured that quad and now as a recap,
he's back Week thirteen, first Denver with that seven ninety
six one effort fourteen targets. We all know by now
what Terry McLaurin is capable of at this stage of
NFL tenure with annual Fantasy PPR finishes of the wide
receiver twenty nine, twenty twenty five, fourteen, twenty eight, and
seven prior to this season after his latest contract extension.
Sort of like James Williams, McLaurin is a stable dynasty
asset to invest in, whether that's a buy hold, not
an advisible cell unless you're out of contention cashing out
for a first and twenty twenty six or younger asset
at running back, wide receiver or tight end. Because he
has job security, he is tied to Washington until twenty
twenty nine. The lottery ticket with McLaurin is that his
durability has been an issue this season. Is it because
he held out longer than we would have liked to
have seen, or is a checking up to him. They're
both certainly possibilities or reasons behind it. But when Terry
is active and healthy, he performs at a wide receiver
two wide receiver three level, and we've seen that from
his career norms and out put let alone the short
stint of five games played this season, he very well
could be that push on paper to put your team
over the top in the fantasy playoffs, A first seems
a bit steep, but a projected early mid second is fair.
If you want to go all in on Terry, I
don't blame you. There is risk inherently involved base on
we've seen this season. If Jadon Daniels comes back, it
could be a league winning combination. Still, ourx Mariota has
been serviceable as we've seen, especially against a tough, stout
Memver defense in Week thirteen.
Speaker 2: So sure McLaurin could be a.
Speaker 1: Lotder ticket that wins or loses a matchup based on
game script or his health, but as of right now,
his stock is trending up. Bryce Young he had two
hundred and six yards passing, three touchdowns, zero interceptions, five
rushes twenty three year yards versus La Rams, one of
the best.
Speaker 2: Defenses in all football.
Speaker 1: The conditions in this game were not favorable for the
Panthers or Rams with the rain, yet Young has shown
great strides against tough opponents in year three with the Panthers.
Speaker 2: Let's reflect back.
Speaker 1: He was a quarterback twenty three as a rookie in
twenty twenty three, disappointing based on draft Capitol Quarterback twenty
is a sophomore in twenty twenty four, so slight improvement,
nothing drastic, even though his film was far better in
twenty twenty four and twenty twenty three. Yet there's now
Week fourteen the Panthers by as a fantasy quarterback seventeen
in twelve games played. Dave Canalis is to think a
huge reason behind Young's newfound level of consistency and development.
This season alone, Young has two three years of plus
yard passing games thus and twenty eight yards against Arizona
and four June and forty eight yards against Atlanta. He
also has four games with exactly three passing touchdowns, so
Young has been a quarterback one at least some weeks
with a ceiling that is far higher than most expected
or projected in twenty twenty five. Conversely, sure Young has
thrown for two and six yards or fewer in every
other contest outside of those two three hundred plus yard efforts,
so he's more of a four than ceiling fantasy quarterback,
hence lottery ticket. What version of Bryce Shearing going to
get the negative game script where he's chucking it downfield
with ample pass volume, or is it the run focus
Carolina offensive attack with gret o'dowdo and Juba Hubbard the
one A one B combination. On the season so far,
Young has eighteen touchdowns, nine interceptions, a sixty three point
four completion percentage rates six point four yards for best attempt,
and he has four lost fumbles. So turnovers are still
an issue with nine picks and four lost fumbles, but
from a fantasy lens, Young is getting the job done,
and quite honestly, I think he's a very safe quarterback
two in two quarterback or super flex leagues and streamable
or usable in one quarterback leagues. He's a lottery ticket
because of his week winning upside. If he's your quarterback
too and superflex not necessarily expecting him to put up
mid to back end QB one numbers or even high
and quarterback two numbers. If he's up performing your quarterback one,
that's a huge win and boost to your fantasy lineup.
The downside is the two hundred and six yards or
fewer passing contests which have been far more often so
it's been a mixed bag of results out of Bryce Young,
hence the ladder ticket player. All that being said, I
have been pretty vocal about supporting Young and that Dave
Canals is a reason for that belief. And we're seeing
more consistency and positive games as opposed to the turnovers
that plagued him as a rookie and sophomore. Again, that
is still an issue. I'm not denying it. Nine picks,
four lost fumbles this season, but now he has Tedrooe McMillan,
he's able to get, has shown a bit more promise
fielding cope or spoiler someone I'm gonna be talking about
at the end of this episode.
Speaker 2: Young is a facilitator, a point guard.
Speaker 1: On offense if you will, who I think is a
quarterback to trade for in Superflex. He is actually quite
streak give a player in terms of being in the rhythm,
and when he's hot, he's hot, and he's cold, he's cold.
So you had to ride that wave and sometimes that
look at the matchups again, he just went off against
the Rams when you would think he'd be shut down
like opposing quarterbacks have been for most of the season.

Speaker 2: Be right back after that short break.
Speaker 1: Next lodder ticket player is Blake Korum, coming off a
big performance for his standards seven rushes, eighty one yards
and a touchdown against Carolina, albeit only thirty three percent
of snaps in tannem with Kyle Williams, who sustained what
appears to be labeled a minor ankle injury. He also
managed to deliver a strong effort after returning thirteen seventy
two and a touchdowns to Panthers. Unless Kyron actually misses
substantial time due to injury, now we're in the future,
it's difficult to put much trust in Korum providing standalone
value as a backup, not like Tyler Argier, who has
standalone value.
Speaker 2: Behind b John Robinson.
Speaker 1: Koram has not exceeded thirty nine percent of snaps in
a game for the Rams this season, so it's limited
opportunities when you're not in the field for at least
the fifty percent clip or greater. That being said, Blake
is having an effective campaign with limited volume. He's eighty
nine totes, four to twenty two on the ground, two
touchdowns for four point seven yards per clip, without being
much of a factor in the passing game five catches,
ten yards, ten targets. Korm is much more fersatile and
well rounded in terms of usage at the college level
with Michigan a workhorse, and we're not seeing that same
level of production at the pro level, at least not yet. Therefore,
I viewed Blake Korm as a premier handcuff and league
winner if big, If Kien Wurdam is time, Kyrine's recent
extension with the Rams till twenty twenty nine does deflate
helium or excitement surrounding Korum unless Sean McVay truly transitions
to an RBBC, which does not seem to be mcveigh's scheme.
It has not been for quite some time. Regardless, investing
in Korum first possible quote unquote, kyrone role is appealing
if the cost is affordable in your league, and by
that I mean if you invest in Blake Korum for
a second or a third or two thirds because you
believe in him his skill set or the role of
Kyron in the offense, or you just think that Korm
is a better running back to Kien. It's wanting to
take time until that running back spot takes place, whatever
your belief may may not be. If you buy him
at a affordable cost, as I mention, a second, third,
two thirds, whatever that is in your league, you have
a lot more room for profit than loss. No one's
going to really spend a first time Blake Korm, even
if you have Kiren shares, because the downside is that
Kiren remains RB one is not get injured. The upside though,
is that Korm could be a league winner and I'm
okay paying that price of a second or third if
a piece have to be added as an add on,
so be it for the possible lottery winning asset that.
Speaker 2: Blake Korm could be.
Speaker 1: It is more in theory, then again, the comparison apples
to apples. Tali al Jeer as a backup to Bijon
Algier has a locked in roll for the Falcons weekend
week out, especially in the red zone. Korm is more
of a complimentary or spelling piece to Kyra Williams, but
that makes him a loudery takeod player and last been out.
Speaker 2: Least I previewed it or foreshadowed it.
Speaker 1: Jalen Coker four catches, seventy four yards and a score
six targets with la rams fifty five percent of snaps.
He has become quickly one of Bresh Young's favorite targets
in the passing attack. A quad injury kept Coker sideline
two week seven of twenty twenty five. Since then, Jalen
has posted receiving efforts of two targets, no catches, then
three for thirty six, one for nine, three for twenty one,
four fifty two, three thirty two, and I already talked
about it, But aut four seventy four and a touchdown
his best performance to date.
Speaker 2: It's at least three.
Speaker 1: Receptions though in five games, which cannot be taken for granted.
He's been a safe floor, low ceiling option. Twenty five
targets since Week seven is impressive. A low snapshare of
thirty seven percent has been the worst of it. High
snapshare has been eight three percent, which is growing encouraging
to see for Cocer rest of the Way. Sure, make
no mistake, Tedero McMillan is carolina standout wide receiver one. However,
Coker is emerging as wide receiver two in tandem with Zaverly.
Get not out of the question that Cocher Rest of
the Way is using that capacity from a target shaped
perspective or even rap precipation snapshare, et cetera. I am
hesitant to go all in on Coker since his output
is average as of right now, and the Panthers are
as I'm actually talking about Bryce Young and his lack
of ceiling at times. A run first football team behind
Rico down on true Hubbard, at least for the time being.
Even so, there's a lot to like about Coper's upside
if you can close out the regular season on a
high note after Carolina is week fourteen by he seems
fully recovered from the quadding and as we've seen comparing
it to Terry McLaurin, it takes time to get back
on track and full health, which is what seems to
be happening for Jalen Coker now with his best showing
coming this past weekend and coming out of the buy
to fully recover even further. He could be a league
winner or at least a lottery ticket player that puts
your team over the top should not cost you much
more than a late second or firmly in the third round.
Conversation for Draft Capital Kamzu Jalen Coker at this time,
thanks for listening up. You're enjoy this week show five
lottery ticket players. As we approach the fantasy football postseason,
you could either start them in your playoffs, buy them,
stash up for next season if you're out of the picture,
or sell them for what could be a profit.
Speaker 2: Those were Jamison.
Speaker 1: Williams, Terry McLaurin, Bryce Young, Blake Korm and Jalen Coker.
Thanks for listening till next time. This is the Dynasta'
chricking out. If you enjoy this week's program or my
show in general, please take a few moments hit pause,
or do so after listening. Couple five star review and
Apple or Spotify. Heps me out a lot as an
independent podcast host. Good luck in your last matchup here
for Most Leagues Week fourteen. Hopefully it's enough to get
you into the playoffs. If not, that's okay, that's the
beauty of Dynasty. We're gonna reset. Shift our attention to
next year's rookie class in twenty twenty six, as well
as free agents. A lot of exciting content to come,
but right now, let's focus on either buying or selling
as the Fantasy playoffs approach, and these five lotters that
could players surely fall into that category.
Speaker 2: Thanks again, talk to you all soon, see you
