Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Do podcast. I'm your host,
Corey Evans. This week's show is titled Guests a Player.
It's a topic or theme that I do a few
times a year where I give you clues four or
five clues for each player, and its interactive segment of
sorts where you can play along and attempt to guess
what player I'm referring to. It allows me to provide
my value and context of their short and long term value,
as well as keep you entertained in the process.
Speaker 2: So we'll get right to it. I'll give you the clues,
take a.
Speaker 1: Few moments, pause, see if you can guess the player,
and we'll go from there. All right, up, first, this
player has registered five consecutive one thousand yard receiving seasons
or greater to begin his NFL careers. He was off
to quite a start. Currently holds a fifty six seven
forty seven to two receiving log in twenty twenty five
with ninety three targets. And this one might start to
give it away if you don't know already. He has
three top five PPR finishes at wide receive already on
his NFL resume. The wide receiver four twenty twenty one,
Wide receiver one in twenty twenty two, Wide receiver two
in twenty twenty four. Now all those accolades being on
the table and understanding how dominant he's been, this receiver
has been held to eighty one yards receiving or fewer
in eight of ten games played so far the season.
So he has not lived up to his previous dominance
at the pro level. And this will surely give it
away a former first round pick out of LSU. I'll
give you a few seconds, guess the player it is,
in fact, Justin Jefferson. It is time to ride the
course with JJ. Remain patient volume. It's been on the
side with at least six targets in every contest this season. Sure,
it's been a quarterback carousel of JJ McCarthy, Carson Wentz,
even a sprinkle of Max Brosmer, who actually might end
up starting if McCarthy continues to perform at a little level. Regardless,
Justin Jefferson, he supersedes his quarterback groom. He is a
talent that will produce no matter what. It's a matter
of right now, efficiency or effectiveness per game. His forest safe.
But as seilingly is nowhere near where it used to be.
He's only twenty six years old, and this could be
a rare occurrence. You can lock in or buy low
on an elite, truly roster changing talent in the dynasty
landscape at a affordable price compared to his usual cost
in a trader startup draft. Just Jefferson should be just fine.
Trust the process, trust the talent, and will just ride
this wave because even with a quote unquote bad season
to this point, you're underwhelming. He's still a back end
wide receiver. One entering week twelve in PPR formats, the
next player has already scored six touchdowns as a rookie
this year.
Speaker 2: Two rushing for receiving.
Speaker 1: Collective outputs so far has been sixty one two forty
four and two scores in the ground for four yards
per rush and twenty eight four to ninety five and
four receiving touchdowns.
Speaker 2: Thirty two target his.
Speaker 1: Season low, and snapshare checks in at twenty percent, so
hardly on the field to a season high and snap
share being sixty one percent a better half of an RBBC.
This could give it away second round running back prospect
out of UCF. He is shaping up as a league winner,
or at least in theory, because his running back p
or backfield mates reason sustained a foot injury that landed
him on injured reserve. Guess the player it is, in
fact RJ.
Speaker 2: Harvey.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of RJ enthusiasts and supporters out there.
He was outstanding talent the college level with six and
a half yards per carry for an average across five
hundred and seventy nine rushing attempts, forty three rushing touchdowns,
sixty one receptions and five receiving touchdowns. We have not
seen that same level of usage because of JK. Dobbins,
who was part of that clue landing on ir unfortunate
injury for Dobbins. He could be back in the postseason,
but ultimately sounds like a season ender. It has been
rumored to be the dread of Liz Frank that does
derail most running back seasons. But back to Harvey, he
has the upside as I'm actually to be a league winner.
Let's keep expectations in check, though, because Sean Payton intends
and usually does deploy an RBBC, whether it's with the
Saints or now the Broncos. But now instead of it
being Dobbinson Harvey, it is a mixture of RJ. Harvey,
Julian McLaughlin who already had a touchdown this past week,
and even talent good Day. So r J. Harvey could
be one of the best rois in terms of rookie
ADP to now. The opportunity is knocking. It's there for
the taking. His touchdowns with six in total to this point,
have made up for a lackluster rookie campaign in terms
of overall production and volume. Denver's on by in Week twelve,
so out of the bye we should see a lot
more RJ. Harvey, which is what a lot of his
fans and just Us invested in him and Dynasy League's
have been waiting on. It usually does occur in the
second half or post buy for these rookies, and RJ
Harvey could be no exception. He is on track to
have a dominant push in the fantasy playoffs. The next
player delivered in eighty two eleven to forty nine seven
receiving effort during his breakout twenty twenty fourty season with
one hundred and twelve targets as the PPR wide receivers
their team.
Speaker 2: He has not fared as well.
Speaker 1: Still good, but not as exceptional as that rookie season.
So far as a sophomore fifty four catches, six to
forty four, four touchdowns, eighty four targets and eleventh played
to date. This might give it away. This player is
a former second round selection out of Georgia. He has
been held to seventy four yards or fewer eight of
eleven contests in twenty twenty five and this last cup
will probably give it away. And that is he plays
for a team in the AFC West. Guess the player.
If you guessed Lad mcconkiey, you are correct. Now Lads
floor has been safe, yet his ceiling has taken a
hit because of the presence of Keenan Allen and emergence
of Aronde Gads in the second not to mention the
peaks and valleyes of Justin Herbert. Herbert looks like an
MVP candidate one week and another such as this past
week is hard to rely on, let alone.
Speaker 2: The Chargers' offense gets stalled.
Speaker 1: There's a lot of factors here, volumes sort of like
just Jefferson is on lads side six or more targets
and nine contests. McConkie's career arc, in my opinion, remains
a wide receiver one in Donze circles, even if he's
performing as more of a wide receiver two this year.
In the short term, the LA Chargers are on buy
and week twelve, so it's going to be interesting to
see if Ladd's usage increases over the last month regular
season or if this truly is a spreaded around approach
where mccacky was the funnel for most of last year
and at times this season. Yet the presidence of the
aforemation Keenan and Gads did not to mention the possible
return over Marion Hampton could cloud lads role. I remain optimistic.
I'm going to buy where I can. Lad mccackey is
a PPR machine. We've seen it now almost two full
seasons where he's on that wide receiver one Wide receiver
dow CUSP, especially in full PPR formats, perhaps knock him
down a bit in value rankings and half PPR, but
Lad mccackey.
Speaker 2: Full PPR is pure goal because you.
Speaker 1: Have to spend that elite wide receiver price tag on
his services. Be right back after a short break, don't forget.

So be sure to check that out. We'll be right
back after that short break. All right, the next player,
here's some clues. He is a third round wid reshiver
prospect this year out of Illinois who averaged fifteen point
three yards per catch in school with nineteen career receiving touchdowns,
so a solid prospect. This could give it away off
the bat if you pay attention to coach speak or
rhetoric over the offseason, as this why Nott has received
comparisons to Michael Thomas from both a stylistic approach to
the position, let.
Speaker 2: Alone a body frame and route running point of view.
Speaker 1: He's coming off his best showing yet as a pro
five for eighty two six targets versus the Chiefs in
week eleven, so you might already have a.
Speaker 2: Feeling or indication of who I'm speaking of on the.
Speaker 1: Year fifteen for two thirty one and one touchdown, twenty
five targets as a rookie as he enters his team's
week twelve by guess the player. This might be a
little tough, but if you're on your game, it is
in fact Pat Bryant and Bryant was as you know.
If you're a fan or existing supporter, might work on Patreon.
Bryant's been pre and post draft on my favorite Whishue
prospects in this twenty twenty five class, and he's advisable
trade targets in Doncie formats as Denver now enters and
then exits by as I mentioning with other rookies like RJ.
Speaker 2: Harvey.
Speaker 1: Usually when a rookies brought along slowly, it is because
the NFL game might be a bit big for them
or too fast compared to the college level. Pat Bryant
has started off very slow. There's plenty of depth in
members wide receiver room, notably Courland Sudden, Troy Franklin, Marvern
Mims that have been serving more prominent consistent roles. However,
Pat Bryant over the past four or five games has
seen a snapshares increase. His usage spike is very encouraging,
and he's flashes big play potential, most recently facing the
Chiefs with a nice forty eight yard catch and run.
He's so smooth with his releases and routes and that
does make him look the part of the Michael Thomas
comparison after the catch. I've been so vocal about Pat
Bryant the entire offseason and even in season process that
I probably have too many shares and if he ends
up not penning out long term, then so be it.
But I'm confident that the price you have to pay,
which should be no more than a second or a third,
is worth the ceiling tied to Bonnicks and the creativity
of Champaign, especially when he becomes attached to a wide receiver.
Think in the past Michael Thomas as the Oos example,
or even for a throwback Marquez Colston with the Saints.
I hope for more of the same with Pat Bryant,
and he is still able to be bought low on
in Donacie format because he's been a slow starter.
Speaker 2: Out of the gate.
Speaker 1: Last, but not least, this player was the fantasy quarterback
twenty three and twenty twenty four and only thirteen games
played so right on that quarterback two borderline in twelve
team leagues, he enters week twelve as the fantasy quarterback two.
He's been a top tier commodity in twenty twenty five.
Currently has a video game esque seventy one point nine
at leach percent is rate on three years and twenty
past attempts. He's been so effective from a decision making standpoints,
and he's thrown for two or more touchdowns and eight
of his eleven games played so far this season. Now,
sure the ceiling has been existent, but there's been no
three hundred yard passive performances in twenty twenty five. Yet
he's been a stable producer with hitting or exceeding two
hundred three yards passing in all showings.
Speaker 2: And this is probably going to give it away.
Speaker 1: The last clue this quarterback is the former third overall
pick from North Carolina last year.
Speaker 2: You might have guessed it.
Speaker 1: The player is Drake May, and May has rapidly developed
into a franchise quarterback for the Patriots, let alone a
fans football superstar in the process.
Speaker 2: I'm buying Drake as a legit.
Speaker 1: Cornerstone in one quarterback leagues as well as superflex as
my anchor for a team. He could un leash even
more upside if he rushes more so far this year
seventy to eighty five and two rushing scores. There's always
more risk for a quarterback when they run in terms
of getting hit or an apse due to injury, most
recent example being Jackson Dart. But Drake May has such
pocket presence poise goes through all three levels of the field, short.
Speaker 2: Intermediate and deep.
Speaker 1: It is amazing to see what he's done year over
year with a good, not great, supporting cast. Drake May
puts balls in tight windows. His touch is outstanding, as
evident from his colle percentage right. The accuracy is out
of this world. I am a huge Drake May fan,
and I am all in in the belief that he
is maybe not at the level of Josh Allen Jalen Hurts,
Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow, Lamark Jackson. When it's clicking on
all cylinders, but entering week twelve is the Fantasy quarterback
two shows that he belongs in that conversation, if not
approaching that territory before long. Thanks for listening up. You
all enjoyed this interactive episode. Guess the player usually do
it a few times a year, so I figured it
would be a good time to install the episode in
the season.
Speaker 2: Thanks again. If you enjoyed the.

star review on Apple or Spotify. Helps me out more
than you could imagine. Good luck in all your matchups.
Literally down to three weeks of the Fantasy regular season
before the playoff push is here, so it's coming down
to the wire. It's a fun time to either be
in the playoff mix or looking ahead to the twenty
twenty six rookie draft class. Until next time, this is
the dynast you're drinking out. Talk to you all soon.
Speaker 2: See ya
