Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Do Podcast. I'm your host,
Corey Evans. This week's show is titled Next Man Up.
Opportunity awaits. In a sense, these players are backups or
handcuffs in fantasy football. The reason why these five stand
out to me with this title next Man Up is
that it might not take an injury or poor production
for a takeover to happen at their respective position. There
is immense talent with each of these five players, which
makes them high ceiling, low risk costs to acquire right
now in Dynasty before we ramp up with training camp
and the preseason in a matter of time before I
get to that, my bonus episode over Onreon this week
for those who are members on that platform is a
few of my favorite late round rookie draft targets. Must

Speaker 2: Thanks you consideration.
Speaker 1: It's a great spot to get one on one access
to me as well as that bonus episode per week.
First up for the next man Up opportunity awaits is
Ben Sinnett tight end with Washington. His competition is obviously
Zach Ertz, but Ertz is entering his age thirty five campaign.
We at times in the past I thought that Ertz
was washed. You had a bounce back effort, a huge
one in twenty twenty four. Is a PPR tight end
seven sixty six sixty four seven scores, nine point nine
yards per catch, ninety one targets, and eighteen percent target
share from Jaden Daniels. He resigned with Washington over the
offseason to a one year deal worth six point twenty
five million. If Ertz did not re sign, Sinnate would
not be on this episode. Sin it would be a
clear cut breakout candidates based on his draft capital from
last year and his athletic profile, which I'm going to.
Speaker 2: Talk about rewinding a bit. Though. Second round rookie Ben.
Speaker 1: Sinnett last season served a minimal role of only five
catches for twenty eight yards and a touchdown five targets
behind Ertz and blocking tight end John Bates. Bates also
resigned with Washington this offseason, so they're running it back
with their same tight end core. Sinnate turns twenty three
this month. He has a rare athletic profile for a
tight end prospect. He's six four two fifty four point
six to eight forty yard dash, a one point five
to nine second ten yard split, forty inch vertical, ten
foot six inch broad, and a six point eight two
second three cone drill.
Speaker 2: If Sinnate earns more.
Speaker 1: Reps, opportunities, targets the county stats and big plays will follow.
Speaker 2: He does not have an immediate path to snaps.
Speaker 1: Or value, however, in twenty twenty five, making him an
opportunity awaits candidates not immediate plug and play option. However,
zach Ertz is an injury or decline the skill set
away from senate, emerging as a tight end two or
tight end one streamer with immense potential for the long term.
He had thirty eight career games play with Kansas State,
which amounted to an eighty two eleven thirty eight ten
log thirteen point nine yars perketch. If sin it was
even in this year's loaded tight end class. Beyond Tyler
Warren Colson Lovelin, It's possibly be tight end three ahead
of Mason Taylor or Elijah Royal. Costwise, I'd be willing
to give up a third or possibly fourth either in
twenty five or twenty six, especially in Titan premium formats,
to stash and wait on Ben Sinnett, who, regardless of
the presence of zach Ertz, should have a more prominent
sophomore role, because quite honestly, there's nowhere to go with
up from five targets last season. Let's jump over to
Trey Benson running back with Arizona. His competition is James Connor.
Connor entering his age thirty campaign for running back that
starts to raise an eyebrow. Connor was the PPRRB eleven
last season two thirty six ten ninety four to eight
rushing efforts four point six yards per rush and as
a receiver forty seven four to fourteen and a touchdown
with fifty five targets. He is in a contract with
the Cardinals till twenty twenty seven, so he has job security.
Speaker 2: Benson was used sparingly.
Speaker 1: As a third round rook He had a floid to
state last season sixty three two ninety one and one
score four point six yards per clip, six scrabs fifty
nine yards all them in thirteen games played.
Speaker 2: Benson turns twenty three this July.
Speaker 1: He did miss the final three games of last season
because of an ankle injury that ended him up on
ir but was back in the field thankfully for OTA's
already this offseason. Trey Benson as a reminder, He's six
feet two sixteen four point three nine speed that is
undoubtedly a recipe for success at the NFL level for
a quality back. Connor's coming off a career high of
two hundred and eight three touches in twenty twenty four.
He has not been the best example of durability with
Pittsburgh Arizona, despite being very reliable, went healthy and active
for both the Steelers and Cardinals. In terms of cost,
you have to get in on Trey Benson somewhere in
between a premium and dip in value, and for me,
that's a second. Whether it's twenty twenty five or in
twenty twenty six, Basically we're at the point where Connor
the wheels will come off eventually, whether it's twenty five,
twenty six, twenty seven. With this contract stint in Arizona,
he's entreenty eight thirty season. So either pay the mediocre
median price of a second for Benson now, and if
Connor misses time or falls off, that price will surely
increase to a first, if not greater for Benson. Or
the downside is that Connor does not fall off in value.
And sure you spent the second on Benson, but how
many rookie running backs do we spend seconds on annually
that don't pan out either. So if you're bought in
on the talent and situation of Arizona's offense with Trey Benson,
who was viewed as a high quality running back prospect
only a year ago to Florida State, then now's the
time to pounce. Because this is not necessarily a handcuff situation.
There could be an RBBC or at least a compliment
to your role on the table for Benson's upcoming season.
And that's the viewpoint that I have. I want to
accumulate shares of Benson now before it's too late, even
for backfires. The cost is not out of this world
to reap a profit or at least get a return
on value. Elijah Arroyo. His competition is Noah Fant. Fant
was the PPR tight end twenty seven last season fourteen
has played a forty eight five hundred one touchdown log
ten point four yards per catch, not horrible. If there
was more touchdowns, Fant would have been more of a
top twelve to perhaps eighteen option without touchdowns, though it
surely sinks the value for any Sculpts player has not
fulfilled his potential. Is a former first round pick to
Denver in twenty nineteen and seems to be at odds
with Seattle because for most of this offseason Fan has
been the subject of trade speculation. Therefore, Seattle spending a
second round selection fifty overall on Elijah Royo out of Miami,
who had coach Mike McDonald said, would have been a
top fifteen, one to five pick had it not been
for his durability, wells or his knee injury at the
college level speaks volumes.
Speaker 2: Elijah Royo is.
Speaker 1: One of my favorite second or third round rookie draft
picks for Down's purposes. Right now, the value has so
much room to grow Arroyo did not tested the combine,
yet was a standout during the seniable process and really
landed him that day two top fifty overall status. Seattle
reportedly is at least implying or considering utilizing Elijah both
inline and out wide with the ability to do X
receiver things that could be indication or preview that Arroyo
was viewed as a possible replacement to DK Metcalf while
JSN Cooper Cup function as primary receivers fluctuating inside outside
a lot of personnel versatility with both of those past cuttures.
Going back to Fan, he has been as I mentioned,
offseason trade candidates. Would not shock anyone if from now
June till September is traded, He's going to be a
free agent at twenty twenty six. There's a strong chance
that Elijah Arroyo overtakes or at least coexists with Fant
in twenty twenty five in a worst case scenario. Based
on most reports, it does sound like Seattle wants to
run extensively establish the game on the ground with Kenneth
Walker and Zach Scharboney, so in terms of passing volume
beyond JSN Cup Fant, We'll.
Speaker 2: See about Arroyo.
Speaker 1: They're sleepers like Jake Bobo or Tory Horton, meaning what
Arroyo could do is relatively limited compared to other rookie
tight ends that are close in ADP.
Speaker 2: However, big picture approach here.
Speaker 1: If is the one variable in this equation that is
limiting Arroyo from becoming a possible tight end, one, then
spend that second to third now, because the opportunity surely
outweighs the cost if the peak in value is reached.
That's why I Am going to take that risk on
Lajah Royal during rookie draft or even beyond it while
Fant is.
Speaker 2: Still on Seattle's roster.
Speaker 1: Because when a coach says that, for example, Laguro would
have been a top fifteen pick had it not been
for durability he woes at the college level, that means
that Arroyo could have been viewed in the same light
as both Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren, which would cost
you a first or at the cheapest in early mid
sex in any rookie draft this summer, compared to a
Royals ADP, which is closer to the second or third round.
This is a screaming value, sort of like Ben Sinnett.
If we know we have to wait, so be it
tight end is usually a slow burn requires patients to
begin with I'm all in on Elijah Royo. If you're
with me, don't wait any further. Acquire him now, quick break,
be back with two more. Next man up opportunity awaits
candidates that you should be investing in. Now release stashing
to see how the off season remainder of it goes.

We'll get that scheduled a sap. Be right back after
a quick break. Let's discuss Roman Wilson wide receiver Pittsburgh
as the next man up with a huge opportunity ahead
of him. His competition is DK Metcalf, Calvin Austin, Robert Woods.
Sure Pittsburgh could bring in another impact pass catcher via
trade or any other veteran still in the open markets.
Even so, there's been a positive drum beat for Roman
Wilson for much of this offseason.
Speaker 2: Let's reflect back.
Speaker 1: Wilson was a third round pick out of Michigan last
year who missed the entire season because of an ankle
injury that stemmed from training camp and the preseason, along
with a season ending hamstring injury that land him on
IR so all in all, it was a red shirt campaign.
Speaker 2: Wilson turns twenty four this month.
Speaker 1: He's five to ten, a buck eighty six, four point
three nine speed, a one point five to second ten
yards split, gets off the line quick, smaller stature, so
don't think he's going to take over DK Metcalf in
terms of pecking order. However, the college production was also stellar.
Forty six s Greer games played with Michigan, a one
oh seven seventeen oh seven, twenty receiving log sixteen yards
per reception and even some versatility baked in a potential
for that seven rushes, one hundred and seventeen yards and
two touchdowns.
Speaker 2: Again, all off.
Speaker 1: Season reporting has suggested that the Steelers are counting on
a huge jump in twenty twenty five from Roman Wilson
to help fill the void of George Pickens being traded
to Dallas. The cost prior to Aaron Rodgers signing, or
that is the thought that's going to happen pending a
physical which should be complete any day now, is that
Wilson was a sleeper.
Speaker 2: Would cost you no more.
Speaker 1: Than a fourth or a fifth Now with Rogers and
no other huge competitors four volume outside of Metcalf Austin
Woods are somewhat of a question mark. I believe it's
going to cost a second or third to take that
leap of faith with Roman Wilson. I don't think I
would spend a second. A third is more in line
with his upside or potential. A few factors to consider
is that Arthur Smith is going to bring a heavy
run foundation to his offense, as he has done the
past with Atlanta and even last seam with Pittsburgh, meaning
heavy dose of Jalen Warren as well as Kile Johnson.
The target share for d metcalf shuit be outstanding. It's
what's that picking order after him with Roman, Austin Woods
or another name brought in a third is well worth
it don't spend too much. We have to follow the
drum beat and the Pittsburgh brass as well as Beat
reporters have said nothing but positive things about Roman Wilson.
If health cooperates, there could be a opportunity awaiting him
as a sophomore. And then, last, but not least, Dylan
Samson running back with Cleveland.
Speaker 2: His competition is.
Speaker 1: Twofold quin Shawn Juckkins as well as Jerome Ford. Juckkins
we all know second rounder thirty six.
Speaker 2: Overall this year. Ford was the PPR RB thirty three.
Speaker 1: Last season a one oh four five sixty five three
rushing effort, five point four yards per rush, thirty seven
grabs for two to twenty five no scores, four to
three targets in fourteen games played. That was with a
bad negative game script Browns offense. A lot of the
same should apply in twenty twenty five. So exposure to
any running backs in Cleveland, you can't expect much effectiveness.
It's pretty much driven or banked on volume and negative
game script, which should favor potentially Sampson the most if
his role is secure. Ford ended up taking a pay
cut to return to Cleveland. He now find himself in
a logjam at running back with Judkins and Samson, Sampson
being a fourth rounder out of Tennessee. Dylan is twenty
one to September. He's only twenty years old, so he's
right there with Trevor Etn and Mason Taylor for some
of the younger prospects in this year's class. Sampson's five
eight two hundred pounds, a bit undersized, a solid, not
great athletic profile, four point four six forty thirty five
in vertical ten foot four inch broad His college resume
is what excites me most. Thirty five games played with Tennessee,
a career rushing log of four to twenty two, twenty
four to ninety two, thirty five touchdowns, five point nine
yards per clip, forty three forty two and one scores
a receiver. Last season alone, he ran for one thousand,
four to ninety one yards. That's five point eight yards
per touch twenty two rushing touchdowns. Dylan Sampson broke out
was the heart and soul of Tennessee's rushing attack. Right now,
his ADP is firmly on the border of a second
brown and rookie drafts. If you miss out of quin
Shawn Judkins and you don't get the next best things
at running back for rookies this year in that value range,
whether it's Camp Scataboo or bes Shell Tuton, Dylan Samson
is one of my favorite selections because the opportunity is
in line for him to compliment or overtake Jerome Forward.
Assuming quin Shawn Dutkins is a replacement to Nick Chubb,
an early on rusher with a lot of untapped potential
to be a featured back. Sampson is young, the Colex
pedigree is there. The draft capital was Day three. However,
a lot of scouted him great as a Day two pick.
If you're with me on his ability as well as
potential acquire now realizing that he could be a next
man up. He's not necessarily guaranteed a Week one role, however,
especially with running backs and dynasty, there's so much turnover
violatility every year. Sampson has the makings or development of
a lottery ticket at a very cheap price.
Speaker 2: That will do it.
Speaker 1: We'll be all enjoy this week's content. Next man up,
opportunity awaits. I'm investing these players as production in increased candidates.
Whether you want to spin it as handcuffs, complimentary options
or backups, those are Bens in it. Trey Benson, Elijah Royal,
Rowan Wilson, and Dylan Samson.
