Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Do Podcast. I'm your host,
Corey Evans. Thanks for listening. We've made it. The NFL
preseason Week one is finally upon us. I have headlines
to bring to you this week. What I think are
the major talking points not the obvious touchdowns or big performances,
but more of the impactful influential metrics or snap data
usage that could correspond to actual regular season value. Before
I get to that, don't forget, I figure still hit
me up for a roster call. It's either thirty dollars,
thirty minutes or one hour fifty dollars over social media.
That's at Dynasty Do Pod on all social media platforms.
Eve An email to Dynasty Do Pod gmail dot com
works to get that coordinated and scheduled asap. All right,
no specific order, but here we go. Up. First is
that Hendon Hooker is back from his tor ACL recovery
and makes for an intriguing superflex stash. He had a
team high thirty four yards rushing on his attempts, including
a sixteen yard carry where he lowered his shouldered to
initiate contact for a first down, which you love to
see from a quarterback. In terms of using his legs
to increase his foreign ceiling fantasy. But that's where unfortunate
if we get hurt. And actually in this game, hen
Hooker left in the fourth QURD with a concussion, so
that's unfortunate. Otherwise, five and nine as a passer for
thirty six yards. That was against the Giants. Nate Sudfeld
is the Choit's other backup quarterback option for Jared Goff.
Make no mistake, Jared Goff is a Choits clearcut starter.
But I do think that in a super flex league
where you have Jared Goff or you simply need a
quarterback four, five or six for depth opportunity to potentially
have standalone value. Hendon Hooker, based on his resume at
a Tennessee, is well worth the investments and he looked
good prior to concussion. Bottom line, just great to see
him back on the football field after that torn ACL
late in his college career. It's a battle between Eric
Gray and Tyrone and Tracy Junior for the Giants RB
two row. We saw on a full display vers Detroit.
Gray had the better stats. It was four rushes fifty
two yards, two touchdowns, thirteen yards per carrying four grabs
forty six yards. Tracy Junior not as spectacular in terms
of production, with the five for twenty six in the
ground good for a five point two yard pclip average.
Was not targeted as a receiver. What's more important or telling,
perhaps is that Tracy Junior played ahead of Gray. In fact,
Gray only saw the field for two plays on the
Giants' first four offensive drives. It remains a battle to watch,
nonetheless for reps behind or alongside Devin Silitary come the
regular season. The Giants offense in twenty twenty four is
not going to be on paper or projected all that
effective or stellar. With Daniel Jones healthy and back at quarterback,
Jones could be a sneaky quarterback two in super flex
leagues or at stremebol quarterback one in single QB league,
depending on his rushing output. The issue at hand is
a questionable offensive line no sa Kwon Barkley instead enter
Singletary and potentially two or three of Eric Gray tyin
Tracy Junior. Tracy Junior is interesting as a rookie out
of Purdue. He was a converted wide receiver, so there's
some pass catching traits that could really elevate his fantasy appeal.
That being said, I would not go out of my
way to acquire Gray or Tracy Junior because there's not
a clear path to immediate snaps or standalone value. It's
just somebody keeping in the back of your mind over
the next couple of weeks, who wins that RB two
job or is it going to be a football committee
of Singletary Tracy Junior Gray In some way, shape or form.
Javon Baker was the Patriots' sixth wide receiver to enter
the gamers Carolina. It could be nothing, but it's rather
discouraging when Kendrick Bourne and Mario Douglas were both out
with injuries. It's worth noting that Jalen Polk did not start,
but he didn enter in a second drive. But Baker,
with all of his training camp highlights, tracking the ball
so well reportedly each and every day, each and every practice,
six wide out to enter the game. It's possiblely as
being eased in slowly to earn his role potentially as
obviously for three or just in the mix for a revamped,
rebuilding Patriots organization. Still right off the bat, being the
sixth wide out tens of the game preseason Week one
is not a great tell for your immediate role. Jalen
Wright flashed his upside in Miami's offense versus Atlanta. I've
been preaching point the table for Jalen Wright all off
season long if you're on Patreon even more so. One
of my favorite peer prospects in this year's class any
position independent ten carries fifty five yards and a touchdown.
He did not register. Our first team snap is anywhere
from fourth or fifth on the theoretical running back depth chart.
Obviously it's Raheem Mosterts and Devon a Chan as the
one A, one B or foot flop how you want
to position them. Make no mistake that Jalen Wright will
be RB three eventually in leap frog the likes of
Jeff Wilson, because in a sense when you watch film
of right from Tennessee, he is a blend of Raheem
Moster meets Devon ah Chan when it comes to size, speed,
both inside outside rushing capabilities, and he showcased the elusive
traits out of school that include top end burst acceleration
with PFF charging him in this contest versus Atlanta with
five first downs, two force miss tackles and two rushes
of ten of more yards. There was one play if
you were watching the game, where he was dead to
rights in the backfield on the right side. He swung
all the way around to the left, created space that
was seemingly out of nowhere to churing yards positively forward.
Jalen Wright is a special talent. What we shouldn't do
is overreact and value him as an am meeting contributor
for Miami in twenty twenty four. Instead, he's a terrific
stash and a lottery ticket a league winner. If Moster
and or hmis any times upcoming season, the Danny Woodeck
comparisons for Will Shipley could become reality quickly. He's been
receiving that, being Shipley first team reps. In training camp practices,
he went seven for twenty three on the ground three
point three yards per clip, as well as one catch
for seven yards and a touchdown at Baltimore. It seems
now like a legitimate competition between Will Shipley and Kenneth
game Weell for RB two duties behind Sakwon Barkley. Obviously,
Barkley is the alpha in the backfield. Nonetheless, Shipley's a
fourth rounder out of Clemson this year checks in at
five eleven two nine, so a good size larger than
Woodhead brings in a sense an Austin Eckler set of
tools or skill set to the table. I'm not saying
that Shipley's going to have independent value in this backfield weekly,
even via Fox candidate. However, if Barkley would ever miss time,
Shipley could be next man up or in tandem forming
a committee with game Well and Shipley. At the college
level was fun to watch at Clemson. He was not
as talented or versatile as etn junior, but his change
direction skills are magnificent, and if you watch the tape,
the fourth round draft capital seems a bit lower. I
was actually thinking that ship would be a potential third
round selection. Philadelphia in the short term is not a
great landing spot, but long term, it's a situation where
the scheme fit adhere's the Shipley's skill set, and he's
already proven to be well worth his rookie ADP of
the third or fourth round, depending on league size and formats,
there could be a huge return on investment. When we
fast forward to Shipley and his NFL career, signed for
a quick break. I'll be back with more prec in
week one headlines before I get to that. If you
want all of my rankings, that's quarterback, running back, wide receiver,
tight end in the top one hundreds of this week.
That is in Google sheet form and audio spoken form.

Tanner Connor is an under the radar name to monitor,
especially in tight end premium leagues. If you don't know
who Tanner Connor is don't feel bad. I didn't know
either until this weekend. Three catches seventy yards person Atlanta.
He played fourteen of seventeen first team snaps per PFF
in the game. He's a former UDFA out of Idaho State.
He had solid production for a tight end in school.
His final three receiving logs were forty six, sevent eighty
three and eight, thirty four, six, eighty five and three,
and then forty two, seven, thirty five and four. John
new Smith remains the odd end favorite to assume Titan
one duty's Miami, but Connor is suddenly a name to
watch in Mike McDaniel's offense. With all the pre and
post snap motion, the way McDaniel aligns players for success
post snap, it's an easy add on your roster Tanner Connor,
particularly in Titan Premium leagues. I added him in three
leagues once I saw his outburst this past weekend, and
the worst case is you end up dropping him come
roster cut time. But you have now the next three
to four weeks to see if his roll is a
chance to transfer over to the regular season. Atlanta used
three receiver sets or eleven personnel on twenty three of
the team's twenty four first team snaps with Michael Pennis
Junior against Miami. It's confirmation that new O C Zach
Robinson is adopted and implementing Sean mcvay's scheme for the Rams.
That should be music to our ears for those who
have Kirk Cousins roster, Drake London, Darnell Mooney, whoever wins
the wide out three year role for Atlanta, which suddenly
could have some standalone value on a beach week basis.
In a general sense, it is most beneficial for Kirk Cousins,
who should be Awesome's go come Week one, and Zach
Robinson is going to really create an environment that bodes
well for the big three in Atlanta that is Drake London,
Jon Robinson and Kyle Pitts. So Atlanta using three receiver
sets of personnel for almost one hundred percent of the
first team snaps is crucial for an elite return on
value based on the adp of these top tier assets
in Atlanta's passing attack, and quite honestly, with the reports
of Kyle Pitts being utilized as wide receiver that could
include London, Pits and Mooney, in those three receiver sets
or the personnel usage. At some point this season, Brayln
Allen appears locked in as RB two behind Breese Hall.
Offseason reports have hinted as such an Allen's usage, along
with effectiveness line up with that role versus Washington six
totes fifty four yards nine yards per carry. Other running
backs in the mix for RB two behind Breeshall include
Isiabanaconda and Isaiah Davis, but it does sound like Alan
has that initial edge. I was a huge proponent of
brayln skill set out of Wisconsin pre draft based on
the body frame reminiscent of a Derek Henry AJ Dillon,
but then I soured on the outlook post draft because
of the lang spot. Listen, he's buried behind Breese Hall.
That's not ideal. However, Alan could become a plug and
play RB two at Breese forever miss time. That is
a situation here. He's a lottery ticket. I don't expect
him to be a usable commodity week to week. But
Braylon Allen is super young, he has an enticing college profile,
and the Jets coaches staff is already essentially elevating him
over to Banaconda, and Isaiah Davis. Outside of Garrett Wilson,
who you expect to have a lot of buzz, even
Malkai Corley receiving a positive drum beat here or there.
The name I hear almost every day out of Jets
camp is Braylon Allen, So this is huge for his
stock and if you were able to acquire him for
a fourth, sometimes even a fifth based on ten or
twelve teen league, looks like a steal in rookie ADP
this summer, Ben Sinnett is the real deal. Three catches
fifty seven yards nineteen yard per reception against the Jets
included a forty four yard catch where he split this
seam up the middle of the field while showcasing his
after the catch instincts and prowess. The downside is that
this was not production with Jaden Daniels and Marcus Mariota. Instead,
Sinnate did this well behind the starting crew on both
sides of the football, So that does forecast zach Ertz
is the initial starter, but make no mistake that Ben
Sinnett is going to be a mismatch and a puzzle
piece for Washington utilized specifically Cliff Kingsbury as a wideout,
a blocker, or even a fullback that can extend it
to the passing game. Ben Sinnett is an intriguing time
end prospect, and I'm excited to have a few shares.
I hope that the impact is some way, shape or
form visible in year one. It's a wait and see approach.
If Zach Erge's main competition, that is not a huge obstacle.
So Senate looks to be in a good position your
tributes right out of the gates. Jaj McCarthy is already
breading down Sam Darnold's neck. He went eleven for seventeen
for a buck eighty eight through the air, two touchdowns,
one pick a one to sixteen point eight passer rating,
and then shipped in two for eighteen as a rusher
that was versus the Raiders. Both touchdown passes were deep balls,
great accuracy in touch forty five thirty three yards. McCarthy
compiled stats mostly in second half against backups rightfully, so
the poise and decision making were on full display that
we saw at time and time again. Leadership qualities out
of Michigan, Sam Darnold is the favorite to start at
quarterback from Minnesota come week one. But after McCarthy's performance
this past week, those who selected him with a first
round pick in superflex formats have to feel excited about
his future fantasy value, especially with all of the up
and down reports of McCarthy looking inconsistent inaccurate over the
past month in training camp or even just practices that
can be cast aside. And this does also bode well
for Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Aaron Jones, ty Chandler eventually
Tojo Hockinson upon's return, and so McCarthy seems to be
settling into his ADP. He's not going to start, most
likely in Week one, but Darnold has proven time and
time again that he does not have enough consistency in
his skill sets to lead a team to a lot
of wins or the playoffs. Minnesota has a playoff calber roster,
McCarthy is going to have to play some football games
in twenty twenty four for those hopes or desires to
come true. And then finally, Marquise Brown sustained a dislocated
clavical against Jacksonville. Not good obviously, he had one catch
for eleven yards prior to suffering injury. I think it
was actually the Chiefs first offensive play expected to miss
quote sometime end quote heck. Coach Andy Reid later compared
brown shoulder ailment to the one that Tyreek Hill dealt
with in Kansas City back to twenty nineteen, for what
it's worth, different timelines terms of the preseason regular season,
but Tyreek ended up missing four contests, So at this
point in time, safe to assume that Markus Brown's on
the wrong side a questionable come Week one in the
regular season. If that injury Lingers persists for Marquise, then
Xavier Worthy even Sky Moore could be back in the
picture justin Watson. Those names stand a benefit the most
in terms of receiver depth, while she Rice could see
an elite target share at wide out for Kansas City.
That will do it. It'll be all enjoyed that preseason
