Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Do Podcast. I'm your host,
Corey Evans. This week's show was titled Value, Risers and
Followers from NFL Trades plus free Agency. There are still
free agents of note in the market, but at this time, Saturday,
March fifteenth, I'm going to discuss fourteen of the most
notable trades and free agent signings with rapid fire quick
reactions for their immediate and long term Dynasty outlook. Don't
forget before I kick things off. Ten percent off roster
calls for the rest of March. Normal price is thirty
dollars thirty minutes or fifty dollars for one hour over
on Google Meet.
Speaker 2: We can talk about teams.
Speaker 1: At drops, trades, orky, draft picks, strategy, whatever you want.
In that thirty minute one hour timeframe we can discuss
in detail. Reach out to me Dynasty Do Pod on
all social media platforms or dynastydopod at gmail dot com
to schedule.
Speaker 2: Your call today.
Speaker 1: Up first, Deebo Samuel, I'm going to label as a
riser just based on where he was within the organization
of the forty nine ers. Not seeing eye to eye.
He was traded to Washington for a twenty twenty five
fifth rown pick. Keep in mind that at this time
Deebo is a free agent in twenty twenty six. He
just turned twenty nine this past January. He was the
PPR wide out forty four last season in fifteen games played,
so barely on the wide receiver three map. More so
a flex and I think that's where his value will
be with Washington. Jaden Daniels is better than Brock Purty
in terms of his personal fantasy output, but arguably it's
a linear and nor lateral move for Deebo, pivoting from
Rock Purdy to Jayden, which makes Deebo in my mind,
another wide out three flex candidates for Donasee purposes.
Speaker 2: You have Terry.
Speaker 1: McLaurin, now Deebo, Samuel Luke McCaffrey. If you take a
step forward, we'll see what Washington does. They have the
twenty ninth pick overall in the first round. You'd think
that a wideout could be in play there, because both
Terry and Debo are almost on the wrong side of
thirty or at least the back nine of their careers.
Speaker 2: Christian Kirk I would say it's a neutral move.
Speaker 1: He was traded to Houston for a twenty twenty six
seventh round pick. Like Deebo at this time, Kirk is
also a free agent at twenty twenty six. This could
be a one year prove it type trade. Kirk turns
twenty nine in November. He was the PPR wide receiver
ninety five and twenty twenty four, only eight games played
because mc caylarbone injury. He's also a wide receiver three
or flex alongside Nagle Collins, John Metchi, perhaps Tank Dell
at some point in twenty twenty five. That remains to
be seen based on his return timetable. Even is zavierd Hudginson.
It's not the best receiving group, especially with Defon Diggs,
who's still a penny free agent at the time my recording.
Speaker 2: Nonetheless, Christian Kirk with CJ.
Speaker 1: Stroud it fills the void of Diggs not being currently
on the team. Houston does have the twenty fifth pick
overall in the first round. The key takeaway here, though,
is that Nico Collins could be a clear cut alpha
elite wide receiver one. Now that it's basically a pecking
order of Nico Kirk, perhaps Meschi, del Hudginson. If others
are not brought into this mix. It's a neutral move though,
because Kirk was not the one in Jacksonville any longer
due to the emergence of Brian Thomas Junior, and he's
still not the one for Houston, with Nico Collins fulfilling
that role. Geno Smith another neutral move. He was traded
to the Las Vegas Raiders for a twenty twenty five
third round pick ninety second overall from Las Vegas to Seattle.
He's likely to be extended with a long term contract
with the Raiders has not occurred at the time of
my recording yet. Gino reunite with his former head coach
Pete Carroll from Seattle now in Las Vegas. Gino is
thirty five is October was the quarterback thirteen in twenty
twenty four, so a high end quarterback two. He goes
from a loaded supporting cast in Seattle of jackson Bithan Jigba,
dk Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, Noah Fant, Kenneth Walker, Zach Sharboney
to now mainly Brock Bauers and Jacobe Myers, making him
more of a mid to back end quarterback two. Still
thirteen to twenty four range, assuming a twelve team league. However,
on paper apples to apples, Seattle was a much better
spot for Geno than the assets or targets in Las
Vegas currently. Now the Raiders do the sixth overall pick
in the first round. Could that be the time to
select an Ashing gentee or a Teed McMillan Travis Hunter
type talent.
Speaker 2: We will see.
Speaker 1: One thing that's true is that the Raiders are not
done adding offensively, whether it's in freagancy or the draft. Still,
Gino is more of a quarterback two than a true
quarterback one, and it's a neutral move from Seattle to
Las Vegas. Davante Adams I have as a riser a
two year, forty four million dollar deal twenty six million
guaranteed with the Los Angeles Rams, now tied with Pookinakua
and Matthew Stafford, not to mention Sean McVay. He turns
thirty three in December, so Adams is quickly reaching his
mid thirties.
Speaker 2: Still, he's been a top.
Speaker 1: Tier asset in redraft plus dynasty formats as the PPR
wide on eleven last season in fourteen games played with
both the Raiders and Jets. Within the Rams offense, I'm
projecting Adams as a wide receiver two with back end
wide receiver one upside. I do still prefer Pookinakua. There's
also to to atwell Jordan Winnington. The Rams hold the
twenty sixth overall pick in the first it does not
seem that wide receiver or offense is the priority or
target for backdraft capital. As a result, Adams should be
safe in his role, which is clear from the money
allocated to sign Hims a free agents. It's just the
debate of he went from being the clearcut one with
the Raiders and the clearcut one still over Garrett Wilson
with the Jets to now more of a one A,
one B situation with Puka and Adams himself. So I'm
categorizing the move as a riser and valley because Stafford
is a key cog and piece of this equation. Whereas
it did seem that Aaron Rodgers was severely limiting the
ceiling of Adams down a stretch of last season.
Speaker 2: DK metcalf i have as a follower.
Speaker 1: Traded to Pittsburgh for a twenty twenty five second round
pick fifty two overall, along with Day three pick swaps
between Seattle and Pittsburgh. The deal also included a new
four year, one hundred and thirty two million extension for
Metcalf and the Steelers, so he is locked in with
Pittsburgh's organization. He turns twenty eight in December, so he's
still two three years away from hitting that thirty.
Speaker 2: Age plateau or cliff.
Speaker 1: He was the PPR wide receiver thirty two last season
with Seattle underwhelming compared to his career norms.
Speaker 2: In my mind, he's.
Speaker 1: A wide receiver three with upside depending on what quarterback
ends up in Pittsburgh. We know that's not just a
field to signed with the Jets. Russell Wilson still a
free agent at this time. Aaron Rodgers reportedly wants to
play for Minnesota, but his waiting from Minnesota determine if
they prefer to move forward with JJ McCarthy or a
veteran like Rodgers, So Pittsburgh is a major question mark
at quarterback.
Speaker 2: They will have clarity on the future.
Speaker 1: The issue here is that DK's situation is now early
similar to him being one B to Jaysan and Seattle
to now a similar spot with Pickens, Pat Friarmuth to
lesser extent, Roman Wilson or Calvin Austen. The issue at
hand is that Pittsburgh is already a run focused offense
under Arthur Smith. So what kind of volume, what sort
of target share is DK going to command that Pickens
will or won't that will make either of them viable
wide receiver twos? Right now, I'm not seeing it. Hence
I have metcalf as a folloer in Pittsburgh as a
wide receiver three with some upside. Chris Godwin, it's a
neutral move. Three years, sixty six million, forty four million
guarantee with Tampa Bay.
Speaker 2: He's back home.
Speaker 1: Best case scenario for his fantasy outlook reportedly turned down
around eighteen to twenty million more from teams like New
England to instead return to Tampa Bay and run it
back with Baker Mayfield and company. Gobin turned twenty nine
in February. He's recovering from his dislocated left ankle that
required surgery. He was a PPR wide receiver at the
three and twenty twenty four, only seven games played because
of his devastating ankle injury. Expected back for the startup
next season. Which is good news in terms of his
recovery timeline. And I don't think that Tampa Bay or
New England any other suitor that extended a contract offer
to Gobin would have done so without doing a due
diligence of his ankle situation and overall health. So that's
really encouraging. Money speaks volume in the NFL. Therefore, Gobin
is back on the wide receiver two map or spectrum
as he reunited with Baker Mayfield normal Liam Cohen as
the team's OC.
Speaker 2: As he's not the head coach at Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: There's enough, though pedigree and understanding of how the offense
was efficient and high octane with Cohen to keep that
train rolling.
Speaker 2: You have Evans, Godwin, McMillan.
Speaker 1: It is simply cutting paste from twenty twenty four to
twenty twenty five. All that really changes is Gotbwin's ankle
health and hopefully that cooperates like Mike Evans Chris Godwin
a strong wid receiver Retoover fantasy with wid receiver one
potential Sam Donald I have as a folloer. It's debatable
because Minnesota was a key step in Donald turning things
around for his career under the direction of guidance of
quarterback guru Kevin O'Connell. Seattle is a solid landing spot.
Three years, one hundred point five million, fifty five million guaranteed.
Sam reunites with his former OC Clinton Kubiak from the
forty nine Ers back in twenty twenty three. Kubiak was
huge in Purdy's development, let alone Donald, who was the
backup at that point in time, and Donald in his
press conference with Seattle, actually gave brought Perty a lot
of credit and praise for teaching him how to become
a better quarterback. So when you have that group think
or mind mold of Kubiak and Donald uniting, it paves
a path to success.
Speaker 2: Donald turns twenty eight in June.
Speaker 1: He was the quarterback nine overall fantasy last year, which
is Heart's applicates probably not sustainable. I see more quarterback
two value here thirteen to twenty four range Al La
Geno Smith that discussion I had when breaking down.
Speaker 2: His new deal with the Raiders.
Speaker 1: What is fortunate for Donald is he had Justin Jefferson,
Jordan Addison, Aaron Jones, TJ.
Speaker 2: Hockinson.
Speaker 1: Seattle has now JSN Cooper Cup and a terrific running
back duo of Kenneth Walker Zach Charboney. Even though I'm
labeling Donald as a follower in value, there's still a
way for him to be fantasy viable as a quarterback
too in super flex in one quarterback league, he might
be more streamable or max of dependent. All things considered,
without Kevin O'Connell Clint Kubiak, that reunion with Donald is ultimately.
Speaker 2: One of the better case scenarios.

Speaker 2: Joining helps me.
Speaker 1: Out so much be right back after that quick break
justin Fields, I have him as a riser two years,
forty million, thirty million guaranteed with the Jets. Did not
return to Pittsburgh, and quite honestly, the Jets are a
better infrastructure under Aaron Glenn now for his skill sets.
Fields turned twenty six this March, so he's pretty young
still for a quarterback already on his third NFL team,
Drafted by the Bears, then to Pittsburgh and now the Jets.
Quarterback thirty two last season in ten games played, he
was effective and reliable for Pittsburgh Ultimately, though Mike Tomlin
pivoted to the veteran and stable presence of Russell Wilson.
Debatable how Pittsburgh would have fared the rest of the
way if it was Field instead of russ but that
is history. Is now on the quarterback one to two borderline,
where he could easily become a cheek code fantasy once
again barring health, if he continues to run the football
as he has with the Bears and Steelers in years past.
Garrett Wilson is a clear alpha wide receiver one beyond that,
the Jets are a week at wide receiver without Devonte Adams,
Malachai Corley, perhaps Alan Lazzard reportedly seems to be on
the outside looking in for a roster spots. Fortunately, the
Jets had the seventh overall pick in this year's draft
in the first round to allocate to one of this
year's better receiver prospects.
Speaker 2: There are other areas to address, but.
Speaker 1: I think it's a firm need for the Jets to
help Fields and a supporting cast outside of Breese Hall
and Garrett Wilson. The Jets are desperate for offensive upgrades,
and we've seen how things can go from bad to
worse with Fields Chicago with the Lacklusser supporting cast, So
hopefully New York that front office can bring some more
talent to help alleviate the pressure that Fields will undoubtedly
face in this revamped Jets offense.
Speaker 2: Joshua Palmer I have as a riser three year.
Speaker 1: He was thirty six million, eighteen million guaranteed with Buffalo,
a great on paper landing spot. He turns twenty six September,
coming off a PPR wide out seventy four season last
year with the Chargers.
Speaker 2: Not great.
Speaker 1: He's a replacement for MATC Collins and or Amari Cooper. Therefore,
Palmer could be a flex with some wide receiver two
or three spike weeks, less consistency, more upside, best ball
type of asset here, unless you're in a deep dynasty league,
there's certainly some potential to start him. Khalil Shakir, Kean Coleman, Creator,
Samuel Dalky Kid are all in the mix as well,
not to mention James Cook, Ty Johnson, Ray Davis out
of the backfield. Buffalo holds a thirtieth overall pick in
the first hard to imagine offense being the target with
the depth the team sports. But Palmer went from being
in an average situation with the Chargers where he was
fourth fifth look offensively to now potentially being a fix
yure in three receiver sets wide receiving passes from Josh Allen.
That is a riser in value based on where Palmers
was a short few months ago. Javonte Williams, I see
it as a neutral move. A one year stint with
Dallas for three million. He turns twenty five in April.
Was the PPR RB thirty last year Dallas. Keep in
mind as a twelve overall pick in the first and
will continue to be potentially in the mix for ashing
Gentee or a reach of Omari and Hampton, Trevon Henderson,
something along those lines. If not, do not be surprised
if Dallas selects a Day two running back, and that's
where I'm at odds with Javonta Williams, who actually believe
is a talented running back. The issue is if Dallas
does not add a Day one or Day two running back,
then we can assert Williams being in the driver's seat
for RB two or RB one value. The flip side
is that the Cowboys do add an impact, rooky running
back in the draft, then Javonte reverts back to an
RBBC like in Denver, where again he was the PPR
RB thirty last season, meaning he's startable but not a
week or league winner. Miles Sanders also signed with Dallas
as a free agent after being released by Carolina for
backfield depth the solid W one two punch. However, Jerry Jones,
like to make a splash at running back like he
did with Zeke back in the day. Would not be
shocked if Battric gent goes to Dallas twelfth overall.
Speaker 2: If he's still on the board at that point.
Speaker 1: Naji Harris a riser in value one year five point
two five million dollars with the La Chargers. He turned
twenty seven earlier in March. Was the PPR RB twenty
last year with Pittsburgh, and he's been a model of
consistency from a volume, yardage, yard per carry, and even
rushing touchdown perspective. The ebbs and flows with Naji have
always been effectiveness per touch and receptions. That rookie year
was outstanding, and he's been less and less involved as
a receiver. However, with Jim Harbaugh and Greg Roman, we
saw the usage JK. Dobbins despite his injury last season.
Was the PPR RB twenty four. It firmly places Nagie
Harris on the RB one or two map. Of course,
that is barring the Chargers bringing in an impact rookie
running back in the first roundry of the twenty second
overall pick or even on Day two. Nonetheless, Najia Harris
is a riser because he was on the outside looking
in with Pittsburgh. There was a lot of rhetoric where
both sides and not see eye to eye when it
comes to Naji's future. Clearly he decided to leave testiod
market and perhaps found a better home with the Chargers.
Daniel Jones I have as a riser. This is more
super flex oriented, a one year deal fourteen million, thirteen
point one five guaranteed with Indianapolis to outright compete based
on the verbigs from the Colts front office with Anthony Richardson.
This is a competition where Richardson might be on a
short leash.
Speaker 2: Jones turns twenty eight in May.
Speaker 1: He was a quarterback twenty nine last year with both
the Giants, and I was a backup with Minnesota that
was in ten games played. Jonathan Taylor, Michael Pittman, Josh Downs,
Alec Pierce, ad and I Mitchell. The Colts at pick
fourteen have been heavily mocked to draft either Taller Warren
or Colson Lovelin. So supporting cast for Daniel Jones or
ar is average to above average. It's a matter of
do we really think that Jones Orgerdson are going to
be viable enough to he was in a single quarterback
league or even super flex for that matter. If Jones
can win the job over Rigerdson, I think there's a
path to quarterback two value in super Flex. If it's Richardson,
we're going to be holding our breath from turnovers, inaccuracy,
bad decision making, hoping he's not benched, where you then
have a sunk cost once again on your hand. So
this is a quarterback battle to watch. But the fact
that Jones, essentially it sounds like, had two options sign
with the team at the Colts to compete for a job,
or a turn of Minnesota to back up JJ McCarthy
because Sam Darneld Tim Seattle seems like a better outcome
or outlook for Daniel Jones and his value, making him
a riser.
Speaker 2: Evan Ingram another riser.
Speaker 1: Two years twenty three million, sixteen and a half million
guaranteed with Denver. He turns thirty one in September. He
was the PPR tight end thirty three last year, only
nine games played with Jacksonville because he had a season.
Speaker 2: Ending shoulder injury a torn labraam.
Speaker 1: He was a tight end five and twenty twenty two
and a tight end two in twenty twenty three. So
we're talking about a top five tight end if healthy
and involved. Sean Payton has been vocal about wanting what
he calls a joker on offense even at tight end,
to use all the formation, and Ingram is the closest
thing he's had to that, dating back to potentially Alvin
Kamara or Jimmy Graham in New Orleans, where Ingrim could
be utilized easily in the slot, out wide, inline, or
as a seam stretcher. Ingram is a very talented, well
rounded more of a pass catching first and blocking tight end,
which fits that joker bill or category for Sean Payton's philosophy. Now,
assuming that Denver does not bring in a Day one
or Day two tight end, they have the twentieth overall
pick in the first round this year. I'm going to
declare Ingram a surefire tight end for twenty twenty five.
If competition is brought in and it's a sound prospect
from this year's class, then i might be a big concern.
But for now, Ingram is a riser, and last, but
not least, Cooper Cup another riser three years, forty five MILLIONUM,
with Seattle annual salary at fifteen million, which is where
he wanted to be. Some teams thought that was an
unrealistic number figure based on his injury woes as of
late However, Seattle met his demand turn thirty two in June.
Cup was the PPR wide out thirty eight last year
and twelve games played after being the PPR wide out
forty and twenty twenty three, and you guessed it, twelve
games played. That's back to back years proving that Cooper
Cup is no longer elite or reliable based on availability
stemming from injuries. However, Seattle is an upgrade from his
near nonexistent and strange usage with the Rams from weeks
fifteen on. Late last season, Cooper Cup was a reason
why people made it to the fancy playoffs, and then
his value in usage disappeared. I remember taking or being
a part of those gooseig and bad performances down a
stretch that were shocking the situation Cup with the Rams
to now Seattle isn't a lot different from Stefan Diggs
who wanted out of Buffalo throwing a temper tanktrum, seeing
the usage decline rapidly, then suddenly being back in the
good graces with Houston and playing really well until he
got hurt. That is where Cooper Cup is at now.
His presence alongside JSN is a huge boost for Sam
Darnold and new oc Clint Kubiak. Now again, I'm not
going to Cla Cooper Cup a superstar or elite commodity
any longer. In Redraft or Dynasty. There is still a
wide receiver two ceiling with at worst a wide receiver
three four and the fact that both he and JSN
are similar when it comes to route running, flexibility or
versatility to play inside or out suddenness. Chris brought runners
reliable hands et cetera. Means that there's interchangeable pieces and
personnel groupings that.
Speaker 2: Koubia can get creative with.
Speaker 1: Because Cup and JSN are close in skill set, that
will do it. There's still some to be determined free
agents that I simply don't have and answer for it
this time, and I had to get this episode recorded.
Speaker 2: Those are Aaron Rodgers, Nick.
Speaker 1: Chubb, Stephan Diggs, Mauri Cooper, Russell Wilson, JK. Dobbins, Keenan Allen,
Deontay Johnson, Jameis Winston, and Tyler Lockett, to name a few.
Is it a good sign that these names are still
at this point of vagancy available, No, it's not ideal.
It doesn't mean that they won't lacksch on or sign
for lucrative contracts at this point in time. However, that's
the information I have. Hope you all enjoyed the breakdown
of Value rogers and followers from NFL Trades and Free Agency.
It's been a whirlwind, a lot of good landing spots,
some neutral, and a few bad. If you enjoy the show,
please give a five star review on Apple or Spotify.
If on Apple five stars and written, I'll give you
a shout out on next week's program. Thanks again, until
next time, this is the diynash you're checking out. Hope
you have a great list of the week.
Speaker 2: Talk to you soon. See you
