Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Dude Podcast. I'm your host,
Corey Evans. This week I have an impromptu listener Q
and A. I put a message out on social media
and I got a handful of questions to answer, which
should make it a fun and concise episode. Don't forget
If interested, reach out for a one on one roster call.
I hold those over on Google Meet. It's thirty dollars
thirty minutes or fifty dollars for one hour. We talk
about your team or multiple teams within each time, allotment, trades,
ad drops, rookies, strategy, et cetera. That's what I'm there for.
Hit me up on social media, schedule your call. That's
Dynasty Do Pod on almost all platforms as well as
dinasy do Pod at gmail dot com. If you'd like
to coordinate it that way, let's get right to it.
The first question was submitted by Ferocious Gentlemen on Instagram.
It read who's your favorite stash that you think can
yield a high return in the early part of the season.
Great question. I have actually five names for you that
fit this criteria or concept. Low cost relative to others
in ADP and or similar price range with the potential
to have a high return on investment.
Speaker 2: Up first is JK.
Speaker 1: Dobbins, who signed a one year, two point seventy four
to five million dollar contract with Denver up to just
north of five million incentives. Most focus right now is
on second round rookie RJ. Harvey, which in my opinion,
leaves Dobbins available at a discount. Who was sensational with
the Chargers last season, he has had issues with their ability,
has passed with Baltimore, yet bounce back in a huge way.
As I mentioned in twenty twenty four, Even if this
is a split with Sean Payden as it was with
the Saints, think mark Ingram ALB Kamara.
Speaker 2: This would be now mark Ingram equals JK.
Speaker 1: Dobbins, r J. Harvey equals Alvin Kamara. It is a
favorable split in what is now a revamped and ascending
Denver offense. So sign up for shares of JK. Dobbins
being my RB three in dynasty formats with immediate RB
two and or flex potential, and he was an RB
two last season in twelve team leagues. In the same breath,
if anyone in your league is discounting r J. Harvey,
who's rookie ADP is late first early second swoop in
attempt to buy him low. Because if the Alvin Kamara
usage actually is correcting translates, then Dobbins and Harvey could
be a phenomenal duo under Sean Payton. In twenty twenty five.
Pat Bryant another name that comes to mind for that question,
third round rookie out of Illinois. His college resume looks
like this. One point thirty seven twenty ninety five, nineteen touchdowns,
fifteen point three yards per catch in forty six games played.
Sean Payton has compared Pat Bryant to Michael Thomas, which
is mostly hyperbole when it comes to coach speak. However,
if the usage the role translates, then Pat Bryant could
become wide receiver two alongside Colin Sudden, with really only
Marvin Mims, Troy Franklin, Devon Veiley to compete with in
this Denver wide receiver mix. Jordan Mason as well. Minnesota
traded for him to pair with Aaron Jones, who was
aging after Mason proved himself admirably with the forty nine
ers during Christian McCaffrey's absence over the past few seasons.
Jordan Mason is one of my favorite RB two RB three's.
The roster in dynasty, with much more room for profit
than loss, should not cost you much more than a
late second, early third to acquire him. Still somewhat of
a hidden secret or cheat code in fantasy football because
of the presence of Aaron Jones. Colson Lovelin as well
fits this bill. The tenth overall pick out of Michigan,
has been eased into the offseason as he recovers from
his shoulder surgery. Head coach Ben Jonson has been vocal
about utilizing Lovelin like Sam Laporta as.
Speaker 2: It was in Detroit.
Speaker 1: Laporta, of course, as the PPR Titan one in twenty
twenty three and the Titan eight in twenty twenty four.
Sure we cannot expect the same results for Colson Lovelin
out of the Game eight. The Bears have so many
weapons on offense, whether be at running back with DeAndre
Swift as well as Roshawn Johnson, receiver DJ Moore, Romadoonze
Lufa Bergen, even at tight end his competition Cole Kamet
for Coleson Lovelin, However, the future is Bright, and the
Bears picked Loveland over the assumed tit end one of
this year's class, Tyler Warren. So he shapes up as
a stash that could eeld a high return immediately assuming
the shoulder checks out okay, come training camp, preseason, regular season.
And then lastly, to answer this question, I'll throw in
Rashid Shahed, who is somewhat of a forgotten man if
there's Tormaniscus. In Week six of twenty twenty four, Shaheed
figures to open up as wide receiver two for the
Saints alongside Chris o'lave, the new quarterback competition being Tyler
Schuck versus Spencer Ratler. Shahe turns twenty seven in August.
The coolest stat that most people don't realize is that
he has averaged sixteen point six yards per caection his
career with ninety four receptions. Rashid Shaheed is an excellent
wide receiver three or wide receiver four to roster and dynasty,
especially in twelve teen leagues. He's a low call, lost
high reward sort of asset here, but the Saints' offense
is not necessarily being talked up that much. Even though
Kellen Moore has proven to be a guru offensively and
have an offensive mind with numerous teams Dallas and most
recently the Chargers or even Eagles. Therefore, we cannot discount
the ability of Alava's healthy as well as Rashihahed. Coming
back from this Tormaniscus, The second question was left by
Connor McLain on Instagram. He said, how can we make
a league improve when two or three teams begin to
make a super team. Do the trades or decisions by
owners hard resets, change the format, find new members or
a league Thanks Connor for the question.
Speaker 2: This is a gray area because.
Speaker 1: Super teams are inevitable when there are superior players that
pay more attention, have more experience than other league members,
things of that nature. I have three different discussion points
that I want to hit on. First off, good teams
should not be penalized for building up top tier rosters
or super teams quote unquote. The same time, if there
is collusion or questionable trades being made that inherently create
these super teams, then replacing members who don't understand dynasty
value might be required. Hence they're more suited for redraft
or keeper. Dynasty is more of a long haul approach
requires more research understanding of short and long term player value.
If the entire league is upset about these two or
three teams that are much better than the others and
can unanimously agree via vote that roster construction was done
via lopsided trades, then you could potentially do it dispersal draft,
meaning those two to three teams, due to collusion or
whatever it might have been, have to allow everyone else
who themselves to readd or draft players from those two
or three teams, or ultimately you might have to reset
the league. I don't believe in trade vetos, but that's
another option here you consider, because if it's that obvious
that there's collusion or these people don't know what they're doing,
then it is unfortunately draining the fun and competitive edge
or parody of the league. Most of the time, though,
it's that there are savvy Shark owners that know what
they're doing and taking advantage of others that tune out
in the offseason, treat it more as redraft or dynasty.
So with those ideas, Connor, that's my two cents. As
long as people are not threatening to leave the league,
there are solutions that I brought up in place to
fix that problem. That being said, if these teams have
done it fair and not had collusion of any sort,
then kudles to them and that's just the nature of
dynasty fantasy football. Question three was left by Chris Pullman
on Instagram. He said, what are my Miami Dolphins thinking
and what does that do to my TUI stock in
my thirty two player roster Dynasty league? Chris, let's talk
about the entire Dolphins' offensive skill position group as well
as what happened with John Neu Smith.
Speaker 2: Johnny was traded to Pittsburgh.
Speaker 1: Even if he's using a similar role to his Miami
form of twenty twenty four, It's hard to envision John
O living up to urs are passing is eighty eight
eight eighty four eight, receiving law from last season as
a PPR tight end force for the sake of your Dolphins.
I don't understand selling John U to Pittsburgh for pennies
and a dollar compared to what he brought as a
security blanket or outlet for TUA in the short intermediate
areas of the field. On the flip side, now Darren
Waller comes out of retirement, is traded to Miami from
the Giants and became a hot commodity on Donasiy Waverwires
this past week as an immediate ad if anyone had
him stashed, kudos to you for holding firm and banking
on that comeback. Waller does turn thirty three this September
and isn't as versatile as Joan u who Pittsburgh doesn't
vision as a hybrid slot receiver tight end fullback. I
don't see that same usage for Darren Waller Miami. However,
given the nature of the position being paper thin in
fantasy football contexts and purposes, Waller could flirt with tight
end one tighten two production on a week's week basis.
I've had a lot of people ask me over on
Patreon what do I do with Waller?
Speaker 2: If I was able to scoop him already had him rostered.
Speaker 1: If you're set at tight end, you have two to
three respectable names, then I would look.
Speaker 2: To cash out on Waller.
Speaker 1: If you have not had rookie draft yet for a
second this year, ideally, if not, then a third. Do
you have a shot then at not Warren or Loveland,
but the next best things, whether that's Mason Taylor, Terrence
Ferguson Elijah Royo just buy back those years virtually a
decade in age and or twenty six, second, twenty six, third,
or two thirds, because if Waller remains healthy, he is
going to be a seam stretcher or field streccher for Tua.
It's a matter of ken Waller remain in the field
and be a legitimate weapon not named Tybreek Hill, jayln Wild,
Devine h Chan in the passing attack, Let's go to
Tua since twenty twenty has been the quarterback thirty one,
quarterback twenty six, quarterback fifteen, quarterback nine, and quarterback twenty
two in fantasy football. We all know the well documented
concussion history. Tua is essentially another concussion away from being
done first football career. There is some rhetoric already out
of Miami that if Tua is hurt again, it could
be the end of Miami's current regime.
Speaker 2: Mike McDaniel to.
Speaker 1: Himself, which puts a lot of pressure on Miami's offense
and all around team. This season, Devon h Chan, since
twenty twenty three entering the league, has been the PPRRB
twenty four and last season PPRRB five he's locked in
as the top five to ten running back in dynasty.
Tyreek Hill, since joining the Dolphins in twenty twenty two,
has been the PPR Bye Receiver two, WYE receiver two again,
and then fell back a bit last season with his
wrist issues by receiver eighteen. He does receive a boost
in perceived stock, at least in the short term without
John new Smith. Jaylen Waddle since entering the league in
twenty twenty one, has been the PPR by receiver thirteen, eight,
thirty four, and forty six. I've been vocal about him
bouncing back, and John out of the picture only elevates
the likelihood of that occurring. And then you have Jalen
Wright Malik Washington as intriguing breakout candidates. So Chris hope
they answers your question. The Dolphins have made some questionable decisions,
especially defensive with the Jalen Rams situation, but the offense
really only made a pivot from John who to Darren Waller,
which for NFL purposes might not be that bad of
a swap if they did not intend to really truly
extend John WHU for what he could be worth. In summary,
I still want shares and exposure to Mike McDaniel's offense
with Tua HM, Tyreek waddle Wright and Leak Washington. It's
a matter of cost and at this point, as I said,
there's so much pressure on the offense to a remain
healthy and be perform that people might tend to be
contrarion and pivot off those names, whereas I think there's
slam dunks for as long as McDaniel is still around
with Miami. Time for a quick break, I'll be back
with two more questions for this listener Q and a show.
If you want more access to me a bonus episode
per week, as well as unlimited DMS for any questions
you might have, then join my Patreon, where I have
three tier levels, the Rookie Tier level for five dollars
per month, the Veteran Tier level for twelve dollars per month,
and the MVP Tier level for twenty five dollurs per month.
The main differences is that the twelve dollars per month
Veteran level gets you fifty percent off roster of calls
whenever you want them all year long, and the Mvpterier
level for twenty five dollars per month gets you a
free roster call per year.

for support. Highly recommend giving it a try. Be right
back after this quick break with two more questions. The
next question was left by Dylan Kaposki and Instagram and said,
what's the minimum you're selling asking gent.
Speaker 2: For if you're a ready a contender.
Speaker 1: I don't think that i'd be looking to cash out
on Genty just based on all the potential and aspirations
we have for him. That being said, I'll give you
names by position that I would at least contemplate that
wide receiver. It has to be one of these four Jamark, Chase,
Justin Jefferson, which is probably you adding to gent to
get one of them, based on the baseline of elite
production we've seen Ceedee, Lamb elite neighbors. Outside of that,
I'm keeping Gente at running back. It has to be
b John Robinson or Jamier Gibbs. If not Genty is
who I would rather roster at tight end. It's only
Rock Bouers, and at that point you're looking at roster
construction competitive ags. Do you want an elite running back
or an elite tight end? If it's super flex, then
at quarterback you have the conversation of an RB one
potentially top tier in a line of Bijon Gibbs, or
a quarterback anchor of Josh Allen, Jaden Daniels, Lamar Jackson,
Jalen Hurts, and Joe Burrow, which in super flex, the
quarterbacks hold a bit more value than what genty could be.
So like the Chase jeptions of conversation, you're likely adding
to genty for one of those quarterbacks.
Speaker 2: Hope that answers your question, Dylan.
Speaker 1: And last a question left by Jim on Facebook, who
is the traded player from this offseason with the most
impact this season. I like the context of this question,
and I have five traded players that could be in
line to benefit the most. DeVante Adams to the Los
Angeles Rams thirty three in December, so age is not
on the side yet we've seen no decline in efficiency,
sort of like the Derreck Henry but at wide receiver
for Adams, he was the PPR wide receiver eleven and
twenty twenty four with the Raiders and Jets. Adams is
in a terrific scheme fit with Matthew Stafford Sean McVay
alongside with Pukinakua. He's a locked in wide receiver one
two in that borderline until for the notice Deebo Samuel
to Washing He's twenty nine disappointing campaign last season as
the wide receiver forty four PPR formats expect to bounce back,
especially if Terry mclaurin's up pulling out. Jaden Daniels does
help Debo theoretically with his short intermediate play making ability,
especially after the catch. George Pickens was traded to Dallas.
He's still only twenty four years old. Disappointing. He got
effective as the PPR wid receiver forty two at Pittsburgh
last season. Pickens needs more opportunities in the form of
targets as well as receptions, yardage, red zone looks, and
I think we'll finally see that with Dak Prescott and
less defensive attention dedicated to Pickens. With the president of
Ceedee LAMB DK Metcalf. He was traded at Pittsburgh. He's
twenty eight in December. He was a PPR wide receiver
thirty two with Seattle last season, DK and Aaron Rodgers.
It's a curious pairing because Rodgers is all about pristine
route running, timing, rhythm, right place, right time, and that's
not DK Metcalf.
Speaker 2: He's not a fluid route runner.
Speaker 1: It's all his fifty to fifty big play size that
wins him situations on the football field. It's a again
curious duo. Yet I hope it pans out with the
floor from last season being the wide receiver thirty two
or a wide receiver three. For the sake of fantasy purposes,
I do believe if he sees north of one hundred
and twenty year so targets with Aaron Rodgers that Metcalf
could achieve a top twenty four ceiling in twenty twenty five.
And then, lastly, Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders
from Seattle. Gino turned thirty five in October. He was
a high end quarterback two as a quarterback thirteen last season.
He now reunites with his former head coach with Seattle,
Pete Carroll, who's now with the Raiders. Not to mention
the offensive line of Chip Kelly with plenty of options
to utilize as supporting cast members at gens Brock Bauers.
Speaker 2: There's been a lot of buzz about Michael Mayer.
Speaker 1: You have the receiver group, Chakobe Myers, Trey Tucker, Jack Besch,
Dante Doring Junior. There's a lot to like about this
Raiders offense compared to last season. Gino Smith is one
of the best kept secrets to be potentially a backend quarterback,
one not going to cost you much more than a
quarterback two price that will do it. Thanks for listening.
I hope you all enjoyed this week's listener Q and A.
And thanks to those individuals to submitted questions on my
social media account to make this episode happen. Until next time,
this is the dynast you're checking out. Hope you have
a great rest of the week and I will talk
to you soon.
Speaker 2: See you
