Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Dude Podcast. I'm your host,
Corey Evans. This weeak's show is titled must Roster players
on each NFL team.
Speaker 2: This will be the AFC edition, So I have.
Speaker 1: Sixteen players, one from each AFC team that I think
is must roster. It's not the most obvious or top
tier name on each team. At times it might be
it's the best value that I see right now in
Dynasty ADP that you should try to capitalize. The other version,
the NFC edition, will be this week's bonus episode over
on Patreon. Be sure to check that out exact format
as what you're listening to right now, but with sixteen
NFC players to join, click on the links in my
social media bios that's Dynasty Pod on most players patforms,
or in the episode show notes whether it be on
Spotify or Apple podcasts. There's also a direct link I
put in each in every description for you to access easily.
And shout out to Austin, who's a new Patreon member
from this past week. He joined my Middle Tier level,
which is the veteran tier. That tier specifically gets fifty
percent off roster calls. It's one of the cool perks
that I include in that tier.
Speaker 2: Let's get right to it.
Speaker 1: Must roster players on each NFL team. AFC edition up
first for Buffalo Keon Coleman. He was a PPR wide
receiver seventy one as a second round rookie in thirteams
played last season sure a bit disappointing. He did deal
with a lingering wrist injury which Bill GM Brandon Bean
essentially said that key Alm was never his full or
best self because of that ailment, which leads me believe
that there's better days or seasons in store for him,
especially between a software campaign. Sure, Khalil Shakir figures to
be the go to option for Josh Allen. It's more
of a committee approach, though there's no alpha post Stefan
Diggs in Buffalo, so Keon Coleman is a breakout candidate
in someone that I want as many shares of as possible.
Miami Jalen Wright. I've been vocal about my support for him,
both as a prospect and now entering year two. Wright
was limited to only sixty eight rushes and three catches
as a fourth rown rookie last season.
Speaker 2: However, expected to take.
Speaker 1: On a much larger twenty twenty five role as a
replacement to Raheem Mostert and to compliment Devon eighth Chan.
It could be a seventy thirty split sixty forty that
remains to be seen. I don't believe that Alexander Madison
or Ali Gordon are substantial threats to eight Chan, let
alone Jalen Wright, who could become the next Rahemohster for
the sake of Mike McDaniel and his offense the Jets.
Mason Taylor, twenty one year old rookie out of LSU
who could push for theoretically second or third highest in
terms of target share behind Garrett Wilson Bresaw in this
revamped Jets offense led by Justin Fields. Mason Taylor had
a collective college resume in thirty eight games played of
one twenty nine thirteen oh eight, six touchdowns, ten point
one yards per catch. In offseason rookie draft, he's available
often in the second, if not third round, a screaming
value apaired to the premium it would cost you to
draft or trade for Tyler Warren or Colson Lovelin.
Speaker 2: Big fan of Mason Taylor.
Speaker 1: The youth only helps the long term value New England
Drake May Fantasy quarterback twenty three during his rookie campaign
in thirteen games played. He is now in the breakout
conversation as a quarterback two with quarterback one upside as
a rookie year was two thousand, two hundred and seventy
six yards passing fifteen touchdowns to ten interceptions, a sixty
six point six completion percentage rates, six point seven yards
press attempt and nice equity as a rusher fifty four.
Speaker 2: Four to twenty one two touchdowns.
Speaker 1: A lot of room to grow enter now Josh McDaniels,
Mike Rabel back in the mix.
Speaker 2: This is a new regime.
Speaker 1: Not to mention the supporting cast, assuming Stefan Diggs can
rebound to old form post acl tear when he's fully
acclimated and back on the field, Kyle Williams, Trevon Henderson
the established vet like Hunter Henry or Maindre Stevenson, Drake
May has a better than advertised supporting cast and should
enter twenty twenty five as a viable one quarterback league
as well as super flex option if he's a quarterback
two and super flex.
Speaker 2: Nice position to be in Baltimore.
Speaker 1: Keyt To Mitchell back to full strength after his lengthy
recovery from a twenty twenty three ACL tear. He was
clocked running at twenty two point four miles per hour
this offseason. For those keeping score, that's quicker than the
twenty point nine to nine mile Proud clip he registered
during his standout rookie season, which leads to me believe
that he is yes recovered old form, if not quicker
than before. Of course, running in practices or win sprints
is different than on field game action, but still notable. Nonetheless,
he just turned twenty three this past January. Youth is
on his side. It's Derrick Henry and then it's one B,
one C with keyt To Mitschell and Justice Hill. If
Derrick Henry would ever miss time, we're looking at a
possible lottery ticket league winner, whether it is Michell or
Justice Hill. Any exposure to that Ravens backfield the can
me wants under the guidance of Todd monckin Pittsburgh, Caleb Johnson,
third round pick out of Iowa, This here delivered a
huge twenty twenty four Colar season to the tune of
I'm the Ground two forty fifteen, thirty seven, twenty one touchdowns,
six point four yards per rush, twenty two, one eighty
eight and two as a receiver. In other words, rushing
accolades off the charts. The issue is concerns with Caleb
Johnson as a prospect is the limitations when it comes
to straight line speed or initial burst four point five
seven forty one point six two to ten yards split.
Speaker 2: That creates some doubts.
Speaker 1: Then again, we've seen so many running backs exceed the
pro level with similar traits. Think Dave Montgomery for a
recent example. Therefore, expect a one a one beat backfield
mix with Caleb Johnson, Jayleen Warren along with the sprinkle
of Kenneth Gainwell. With more and more positive praise of
Caleb Johnson from Mike Tomlin and Pittsburgh Meat reporters, his
Rookie ADP and Rookie Draft specifically has increased to the
back end of the first round, if not mid first
round and one quarterback leagues. He might sneak to the
second in some super flex drafts. Either way, the price
tags increasing in hopes that he overtakes the vacated roll
up behind by Najie Harris. Cincinnati Chase Brown. He was
a PPRRB ten and twenty twenty four with a two
twenty nine nine to ninety to seven rushing effort good
for four point three yuars per tote added a fifty four,
three sixty and four touchdown receiving effort across sixty five targets.
There's a lot to like. Cincinnati did not add much
to the backfield mix. They restructured Zach Moss's contract added
a six rounder in Tas Brooks, neither of which are
going to unseat health cooperating Chase Brown in this Bengals
offense that with a bit more volume or effectiveness per touch,
Chase Brown could easily surpass one thousand yards rushing push
for sixty plus receptions and keep him in the top
ten running back rinks or better top five as a
ceiling four twenty twenty five purposes, Chase Brown is someone that,
if you're contending, is an ideal by right now. In
Dynasty League's Cleveland Jerry Judy, he finally enjoyed a fifth
year breakout as the PPR wyceiver twelve and twenty twenty
four with a ninety twelve twenty nine for receiving efforts
across one hundred and forty five targets.
Speaker 2: He's still relatively.
Speaker 1: Young despite now being in his sixty year turned twenty six.
Is past April project to serve a similar role in
twenty twenty five. Regardless of the quarterback conundrum, whether it's
Joe Flacco, Canny Pickett, Dalan Gabriel, Short Sanders in Cleveland,
all those factors on the table, it's easy to see
why Jerry Judy is the choice here for the must
roster player on Cleveland when so much negative gamescript should
occur in twenty twenty five, leading to a lot of
force fed targets his direction. Time for quick break me
back with the other AFC teams and roster players on
each of them, in my opinion, Before we get to that,
reach out for a roster call over on Google meet It,
Interested to talk about your team or teams, strategy, trades,
ad drops, et cetera. Thirty dollars, thirty minutes, fifty dollars
one hour. Coordinate those on social media by sending me
a direct message Dynasty do pod on those platforms or
a simple email to Dynasty do Pod. A GM will
suffice if interested. Reach out asap get on my Calendar'll
lock down a day and time.
Speaker 2: That works for both of us. Be right back after
that short break.
Speaker 1: Houston, I'm going with Jaden Higgins, second round pick, who
wenters the immediate starting wide receiver mix for Houston alongside
Nico Collins and Christian Kirk In college, Jadan Higgins in
twenty six career games played delivered a one forty twenty
one sixty six fifteen receiving log that's fifteen and a
half yards per catch. It's not out of the question
that Jaden Higgins at peak ceiling is as good or
better than Nico Collins, and they're similar in terms of
body frame size, speed. Could be a great one A
one B situation for quite some time. Indianapolis Tyler Warren's
a choice for me fourteenth overall pick, and this year's
draft should finally solve the Colts rotating annual tight end problem.
He emerged Penn State in twenty twenty four with a
one to oh four twelve thirty three eight receiving log
and a twenty six two eighteen four rushing line. A
versatile tight end here might not see the same level
of usage in a mediocre to below average Colts passing attack.
Even so, Warren figures will be in a top two
to three mix for overall volume. In this Anthony Riggerson
or Daniel Jones led offense, passing efficiency could be a
problem for Warren. Then again, volume is king and he
should see plenty as a new funnel or security blanket.
In Indianapolis Jacksonville, another tight end, Brenton Strange, the former
second rounder, enjoyed a mini breakout in twenty twenty four
with Evaningram sideline deal with injury Stranger with the PPR
tight End thirty one, a forty four to eleven two
touchdown log, ten point three yards per catch, fifty three targets,
Strange is now the clear tight end one fort Jacksonville.
The reason why I view him as must roster is
that most offensive focus weekly will be on Brian Thomas Junior,
Travis Hunter, and Yanmy Brown downfield or even in intermediate routes,
which Strange will then have a lot to do as
an outlet for Trevor Lawrence underneath short or middle of
the field opportunities. And we saw what he did in
that small sample size without Evan Ingram last season Ingram.
Now with Denver, dial it up for Strings to be
a borderline tight end one, tight end two in twenty
twenty five, and a nice value if you're weak at
tight end to trade four at this time, Tennessee, I'm
making on cam Mood being the must roster player first
overall pick this year in real life will be a
tight ends facilitator to the players that we need to
produce Calvin Ridley twenty power ty.
Speaker 2: Jay Spears along with others.
Speaker 1: Not to mention Moard's rushing capability, which could be somewhat
of an underappreciated assets that he brings to the table,
there's risk sure a possible one hit wonder with what
he did in Miami in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: He had three total years.
Speaker 1: In college at least with legitimate competition between Washington State
and Miami and thirty eight games played, eighty seven touchdowns,
twenty three interceptions, a sixty six percent completion rate, seven
point nine yards per pest attempt to eighty seven four
h six seventeen rushing log. If he can bring those
same elements to Brian Kalahan's offensive scheme, where it sounds
like they want more to get rid of the ball
quick make concise decisions and let the playmakers do the rest.
Then there is quarterback up potential here, even as a
rookie in what could be a developmental type of season
in Superflex, ward sliding to one point four to one
point oh five could prove to be a steal even
in one quarterback league's I've seen or go to the
third or fourth round, and that's always the chance you
should take to find the next stud quarterback that emerges
with a versatile skill set.
Speaker 2: Kansas City.
Speaker 1: I've been vocal about my chase four or reasoning when
it comes to Hollywood Brown, and I will keep that
train rolling. He has not performed better than the PPR
wide receiver twenty two ever in his career that was
twenty twenty one with Baltimore, yet is now in a
position to provide a huge ROI compared to the prices
of his teammates. Rahie Rice is ever worthy in Kansas City.
Hollywood now claims to be one hundred percent healthy, recovered
from his twenty twenty four preseason shoulder injury that kept
him out until Week sixteen of last year.
Speaker 2: He turned twenty eight in June.
Speaker 1: Kansas City made it a priority to re sign him
as a free agenticy offseason. Patrick Mahomes has been on
record multiple times indicating that it's going to be a
committee approach, so sure there'll be spike weeks that we
might not be able to predict from Rice Worthy and Brown.
The stability though, the floor seems so safe for Hollywood,
and there are people out there don't even want him
for a third and to me, that seems like a
price point he's going to crush could end up being
worth a late first or a second to contender if
you even want to flip him, if the production matches
what he is capable of over a full season with
Andy Reid and Mahomes the Chargers. This was a tough one.
I was torn between making this choice. Justin Herbert or
Ladd mccacky lads the obvious name. So I did choose
Justin Herbert. The reason is that he is the offensive
distributor for all fantasy points or assets we care about,
as well as an underappreciated quarterback one candidate. In fact,
the quarterback twelve and twenty twenty four. That's a quarterback
one in twelve team leagues. It's as simple as if
Herbert is successful, then Lad mccacke, Trey Harris, Quentin Johnston,
Mike Williams.
Speaker 2: Whoever emerges in the.
Speaker 1: Crowded tight end room at running back the combo of
Najee Harris, Omari Hampton, then they as well will benefit
if Herbert is the catalyst on offense. As a result,
I view Herbert as a locked in quarterback one no
matter the format, and if he's your quarterback two in superflex,
it's a great spot to be in Denver. I've been
vocal about this rookie as well. I'll put my mining
out this again. Pat Bryant, third round of Illinois, who
head coach Sean Payton is comparing to Michael Thomas. Of course,
it is coach speak, Yet if the usage aligns, we're
looking at arguably the best value rookie drafts this summer
outside of the first two rounds of ADP. Pat Bryant
hovers third fourth round. If he ends up as wide
receiver two for the Broncos, he's going to crush that ADP.
In college, forty six games played, one P thirty seven
twenty ninety five, nineteen touchdowns, fifteen point three yards per catch.
Pat Bryant does not cost the premium that Corlin Sutton
will or for the sake of apples to apples a
rookie RJ.
Speaker 2: Harvey in this offense.
Speaker 1: If Pat Bryan is stearing me in the face in
the third round, if he slides at a fourth I'm
going to make that pick ten times out of ten.
Sean Payton appears excited about the skill set that Brian
brings at the table, reminiscing on the old memories and
production of Michael Thomas, which, if it all pans out,
could be a wide receiver one, a fantasy long term
and then last been out least to round out the
AFC edition of Musk roster players the Las Vegas Raiders.
The obvious name or names would be Ashen gent Brock Bauers.
I'm not going to do that. It's instead Jacoby Myers.
He's been a model of consistency over the past two
seasons with the Raiders as the PPR wideout twenty four
and twenty twenty three wide receiver nineteen to twenty twenty four,
and now has a quarterback upgrade in Geno Smith. First
of all, Second of all, the offensive scheme improvement with
Chip Kelly and Pete Carroll early training camp reports, not
to mention OTA's Mansoory Minichamp, have indicated that the Raiders
are mixing and matching wide receiver personnel groupings, with Myers
being a slot threat as well as perimeter out wide,
whereas Trey Tucker and Dante Thorning Junior are primarily the
outside receivers, so that could in short term hurt Jack Besh,
rookie who out of TCU is deemed a high quality prospect.
I agree with that assessment. Myers, though, is the proven
veteran here somehow, though it is overlooked in startup drafts
existing leagues as a wide receiver three with potential to
be a wide receiver two, as we've seen from his
past two campaigns as a wide receiver twenty four and nineteen.
Speaker 2: A full PPR. Thank you all for listening.
Speaker 1: Hope you enjoyed my must roster players on each NFL
team the AFC audition. As I mentioned, the NFC edition
all sixteen NFC teams will be my bonus episode around
Patreon this week. Thanks again, until next time, this is
the dynasty you're checking out. Hope you all a great
west a week. I'll talk to you soon.
Speaker 2: See you
