Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to the Dynasty Do Podcast. I'm your host,
Corey Evans. Thank you for listening to this week's show.
Pre Season Week two is in the books. I'm here
to reveal my reactions, my value assessments from the second
week of exhibition contest. Before I get to that, we
had a five starving review left Apple podcast. It was
by JB twenty titled the Dynasty goat It read. Corey
has some of the best Dynasty advice in the Dynasty landscape, concise, short,
and sweet. I love his show's overall approach, But Corey
no love for our guy Jordan Whittington on the preseason risers.
Come on, man, Yeah, Whittington did light it up two
weeks in a row for the Rams in the preseason.
I've been talking to him up for a little bit
of time now, i'd say you the past month or so,
so hopefully have him stashed.
Speaker 2: JB twenty appreciate the review. You allow the drill.
Speaker 1: If you want to get a five star shout out,
do the same and leave it written on Apple.
Speaker 2: Don't forget.
Speaker 1: If you want a one on one roster call over
on Google Meet to assess your team top to bottom.
With my Dynasty strategy things I'll do in your shoes.
Then hit me up on social media at Dynasty do
pod on all outlets, or send me an email dynastydopodgemail
dot com. We'll get that coordinated and schedule to fit
both of our calendars. Thirty dollars thirty minutes, fifty dollars
one hour. Once again, it's a Dynasty Roster call on
Google Meet to break down and assess your team prior
to Week one of the regular season. Up first is
Drake May's red shirt rookie NFL season might be a
false narrative. He went six of eleven for forty seven
yards passing, also contributed four rushes fifteen yards and one
Russian touchdown versus Philadelphia. He displayed good poise comfort climbed
the pocket. May throw a really well placed deep walterage
Baker that should have been caught. He looks shifty, agile,
and elusive on his four rushes, especially the four yard
rushing touchdown. Head coach Drod Mayo is suddenly changing his
tune about Jacoby Brissette being the locked and starter and
has said the competition isn't over and basically if Drake
may is better than Jacoby He'll start. So this is
a situation that seems fluid as opposed to you rewind
a week or two that May's actual rookie outlook was
potentially a red shirt season.
Speaker 2: No longer the case.
Speaker 1: The main criticism Mayo does have of May to this
point is playing faster, which is often an adjustment from
the College of pro level. Nonetheless, we all know that
Drake Mayo was a third overall pick this year on
North Carolina. He brings alpha size to a table at
six four to two twenty five and a best case
scenario outcome. He is on the level or spectrum of
Josh Allen, Jalen Hurts. The basement or worst case scenario
for his value could be Justin Fields or Daniel Jones.
So there's a lot of variants tied to Drake may
but I will say that suddenly his value is rising
quicker than it was over the past few months. In
super flex, he's pretty much been a late first round pick.
Sometimes sliding to the second could end up being a
phenomenal value and one quarterback league, Drake may has been
often available in the third or fourth round. Roma Dounza
could become the Bears wide receiver two over Keenan Allen.
Before long, Dunsay had one catch for forty five yards
versus a NATI nineteen to twenty one first team snaps
and per PFF PFF is Pro Football Focus, Roma Dunze
even led all Chicago skill position players and first half
starter snaps, so this could have been a previewer glimpse
into Rome's ability in a feature role on offense. His
loan forty five hour reception came on a remarkable throwken
Kill Williams, who evaded pressure in the pocket on a rollout.
The final dooonza downfield on the run left hand side.
It was a fade towards the sideline. Keep in mind
that Rome was a ninth overall selection out of Washington
this year, the size at six three to fifteen, and
natural ball skills to become a franchise caliber wide out.
One DJ Moore is that for Chicago he got paid
as such. Keenan Allen is still relevant, adonsay. They make
or rank among the best wide receiver trios in the
entire league, at least in my opinion, hard to beat that.
It's worth noting that Keenan Allen has reportedly looked out
of shape and around two hundred and thirty pounds per
reports and three his eight thirty two season. For what
it's worth, Keenan was listed at two hundred and eleven
pounds entering this campaign. Keenan's a UFA or unrestricted free
agent in twenty twenty five, so it could become the
DJ Moore and Roma.
Speaker 2: Donday show in short order.
Speaker 1: In one quarterback leagues, a Doonday's been in the one
point oh two to one point oh.
Speaker 2: Four mix for pretty much the entire summer.
Speaker 1: In Superflex, one point oh seven or beyond is the
Rome usual ADP. Nonetheless, it might not be an immediate
hot start out of the gate for Room Adonay, but
the rapport that he and Cail Williams are developing and
building could be special long term. Mac Jones seems like
an advisable quarterback four quarterback five to roster in super
flex leagues. He went sixteen to twenty three for two
ten through the year, two touchdowns, no picks, a one
to twenty seven point one passer rating, and then six
rushes fourteen yards as a rusher versus Tampa Bay. We
all know that Mac Jones is not a run first quarterback,
but he was elusive and had a couple of jukes
against defenders breaking their ankles in this game.
Speaker 2: CJ.
Speaker 1: Bethard is also in the backup quarterback mix behind Trevor
Lawrence and Jacksonville. However, Bethar did leave this contest because
of a groin injury. At the severity at the time
off this recording is unknown. Nonetheless, Mac Jones his passing
touchdowns went for twenty five yards to Parker Washington and
thirty one yards to Brevin Easton. He was making big plays.
He was comfortable, and he's playing more relaxed. He's not pressing,
which is a huge sigh of relief for Mac Jones
the player.
Speaker 2: In real life.
Speaker 1: It appears that Doug Peterson is a better fit for
what Mack brings it a table he'll skill set out
of Alabama than what New England and their scheme was,
and quite honestly, New England over the past few seasons
with Mac Jones has been recipe for disaster. There's been
a lack of confidence, there's been a budding of heads
in outlook and just personalities with Belichick. Even so, mac
Con turns career around would be a really good backup
and relevant fantasy if Lawrence would ever miss time. It's
been nothing but positive reports out of camp Formack this offseason.
He's only under contract this one year free agent of
twenty twenty five. Therefore, would not be surprised if Jacksonville
locks Mac in with an extension to backup Trevor Lawrence
with his pedigree of being the fifteenth overall pick back
in twenty twenty one out of Alabama. The New England
era is over. This is a fresh slate for mac Jones,
and so far the results are stellar and as a result,
I want him rosters my quarterback four.
Speaker 2: Quarterback five, and superflex.
Speaker 1: I've even seen mac Jones dropped in super flex formats
and that should not be the case. Now is the
time to buy shares with trade. Benson cannot emphasize that enough.
He went nine for forty three on the ground. It's
four point ars per clip. Against Indianapolis. He played sixteen
of twenty two possible snaps. I'm both first second down
for PFF but was out of the picture on third
downs and a two minute tuer, which is a bit discouraging.
If that's how Arizona tends to utilize Tredy Benson. His
longest rush went for nineteen yards. He has not recorded
to catch over two preseasons showings to date, yet he
does carry over and bring plenty of pass kicking traits
or experience from Florida State, where he hauled in thirty
three catches from twenty twenty two to twenty twenty three.
Does not project to offer much standalone or individual value
alongside James Connor immediate in twenty twenty four. However, if
Connor word of his time, then Trey Benson would become
an easy plug in PLAYERRB two with top twelve potential
in the fantasy realm. He's six's one two, twenty three,
four point three nine forty. That is a freak of
nature at the running back position. So bottom line has
remained patient with Trey Benson and wait for the long
term dividends. His ADP and one quarterback leagues is basically
the top five to ten pick depending on your scoring
format and superflex. I've seen Benson slide to the mid second,
possibly late second, depending on team needs or things of
that nature. If you can pay a second or two
seconds right now, I wouldn't even think, and now I
would do so immediately. All eight first, I think though,
was the fairest value, especially in super Flex, given the
context of this year's loaded quarterback group.
Speaker 2: Time for a quick break, and.
Speaker 1: Then I'll round up my preseason week two reactions and thoughts.
Before I get to that, shout out to my Patreon content,
which now include dudes, my quarterback, running back, wide receiver,
tight end, and Top one hundred rankings individual and then
the top one hundred is consolidated. That's rookies and veterans combined.
Those are accessible in audio and Google sheet form. It's
only five hours per month of the minimum right now,
and it grants you three main perks, bones episode per week,
unlimited DMS, and fifty percent off for rush of calls
when you want them. Links in all of my social
media bios. That's at Dynasty pod. If you want the
direct link email to you, you hit me up again at
Dynastydpod at gmail dot com. That is for my Patreon content.
It basically equates to a dollar episode, which you can't beat.
If you want to support my work and gain that
extra coverage. Time for the quick break. Be right back, Carson,
Steele is making noise in the Chiefs running back room.
Three carries eight yards two point seven yards per clip,
two cotches negative three yards versus Troit. You're thinking that
production is next to nothing. Don't let that tell the
full story. As Steel was on the field through the
Chiefs second drive including starters as you have to check
play it on the first drive file by Steel and
then to Derek Prince Ceh was reportedly out of the
rotation because.
Speaker 2: Of an illness.
Speaker 1: If you're not familiar, Steel is a twenty one year
old DFA out of UCLA who is a film favorite
of mine. Actually pre draft over on Patreon, and you're
aware that if you support my work on that platform.
He spent two years at ball State one with UCLA.
He brings good size to the field at six feet
to twenty eight could be a nice replacement or compliment
to Isapa check go. He's been earning first and second
team reps in training camp, especially over the past few weeks.
Carsus Steele is someone on the rise. College's career collectively
was five point one yards per carry. It's an average
on six hundred and forty eight Russian attempts. And then
for good measure fifty eight receptions. It also sounds like
Steele could see reps at fullback, which makes a strong
case keep him around on the three man roster if
you play on sleeper.
Speaker 2: Steel's been one of.
Speaker 1: The top five training players to acquire among free agents
in leagues. If not and he is not picked up
or on a team in your league, no matter the
format or league platform policy, episode right now and do so.
Because we've seen four he assumes Starter and Cech got
the back seat as they have a check go a
day three prospect. Steele was not drafted, but when you
really look at it, a day three pick or UDFA
is in the same conversation, Steele is someone that should
be rostered and if he's not fixed that right now.
Jalen Naylor also needs to be rostered. I think close
to universally at this point. He's been in every down
wide receiver for the Vikings starters and back to back
preseason contests. He had one catch for thirty one yards
against Cleveland. Sure justin Jefferson Jordan Addison are locked in
as wide out one, whiteout two, the ceiling and floors
without Jaj McCarthy even potentially in the mix twenty twenty
four wives does hurt value or projections, yet Sam Darnold
should be serviceable enough to get the job done, and
Naylor seems to have an inside track or path to
be mined out three ahead of Brandon Powell, next to
Addison and of course Jefferson Naylor if you need refreshers,
A sixth rounder in twenty twenty two out of Missigan State.
He only has twelve NFL catches on his resume that's
across two seasons so far, but has made strides during
his third offseason at the pro lef He's six feet
a buck ninety and allows him to man a slot
or extend out wide an eleven personnel in Kevin O'Connell's scheme,
especially now with TJ. Hockinson expected to be out for
at least a portion of the early part of the season,
either a puplist or IR candidate, depending on what Minnesota
decides to proceed with in terms of designation or ultimate
time missed.
Speaker 2: So Naylor is also a trending player.
Speaker 1: On sleeper He has been for a while now, even
on my fantasyley dot Com. Is someone that's been added
a lot across leagues. The fact that Hockinson is going
to miss time Addison could be suspended from his DUI
that happened about a month ago or close to it
at this time means that Jaalen Naylor is going to
have a role and if he's receiving passes in a
past friendly scheme led by Sam Darnold, I think that
should reflect or correlate a much higher roster percent and
co overseeing right now and then last, but not on
at least Tray Tucker could be affective for the Raiders.
Three grabs sixty six yards versus Dallas, including a forty
yeard reception from Gardner Minshew. It was a beautiful catching pass.
In a sense, Trey Tucker seems to be with the
Raiders previously envisioned Henry Ruggs for the franchise, that is,
a vertical field stretcher or threat who can generate big plays,
create openings in the middle of the field underneath to
compliment DeVante Adams or Jacobe Myers. Tucker sure he's under
size at five nine buck eighty five, yet brings an
element of speed four point four h forty yard dash
that's unmatched in the Raiders wide receiver room. At least
the verticality that he can really open up layers on
offense and different short, intermediate, deep angles or pursuits for
wal steal. Distart is is that Gardner Minshew Orean O'Connell
in the aerial attack. I do expect low volume boom
or bust output for Tray Tucker. However, there's opportunity for
Spike weeks, whether it's best ball or a flex spot
in a regular dynasty league. I've seen Tray Tucker drop
in a few formats and that should at least warrant
your attention to check you away by it.
Speaker 2: Right now. Don't expect him to use Surp.
Speaker 1: Adams or Myers, but if Adams does eventually get traded,
then Tucker could be coming every now player and that
is really intriguing. We're talking about under the radar names
at this point of the preseason.
Speaker 2: Thank you all for listening. Until next time.
Speaker 1: This is the Dynas you're checking out, don't forget hit
me up if you want to get on my calendar,
which fills up quick gear. As we approach we one
for that one on one individual roster call. We'll be
back next week to break down Week three of the
preseason and before we know it, Week one is only
a short few weeks away to kick off the twenty
twenty four NFL campaign and our fantasy football seasons.
Speaker 2: Thanks again, I'll talk to you soon. See you
