Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Dude Podcast. I'm your host,
Corey Evans. This week show is titled Rookie Vibes Check
Good or Bad. We have a small sample size of
two games for a handful of rookies. W you've had
either high, middle of the road or low expectations four
and I want to simply do a quick vibe check.
Speaker 2: Are they passing a test? Failing it?
Speaker 1: Up to this point Before I get to this week show,
a quick heads up that I will not be releasing
a free episode next week.
Speaker 2: I will be on vacation.
Speaker 1: I've had this plan for half a year now, just
happen to fall within the NFL season. It's only the
first or second time ever over a ten year spammer
I have not published weekly episode based on scheduling. No,
I had to take my vacation during this time. So
it is what it is, and I'll be back with
more content before you know it.
Speaker 2: Let's get to the Rookie Vibes Check Good or Bad?
Speaker 1: Up. First is Matthew Golden, who I'm seeing bad vibe
from so far? Week one versus Troit two catches sixteen
yards across two targets forty eight percent of snaps. Week
two versus Washington was only two targets, no catches, two
rushes for fifteen yards. Good to see though a fifty
nine percent snapshare increase from week one. Golden in that
contest against Washington did miss out and what could have
been two touchdowns one was underthrown from Jordan Love and
another that could have been a ninety plus yard touchdown
that was overthrown. So it's not all Golden's fault from
accuracy or even effectiveness. What is the issue is that
the production and usage is a letdown after being a
twenty third overall pick with solid but not spectacular supporting
cast members, whether it's Romeo Dobbs Down, Tavion Wicks, Jayden
Reid speaking of Jadan Reid, this could be opportunity knocking
for Golden to change this vibe to positive or good.
Read a sidelined six eight weeks with a broken collar
bone and left foot Jones fracture, both of which he
went under surgery for to knock them both out at once.
This is Matthew Golden's time to step it up. With
Read out of the picture for a month, possibly two months.
There are other factors like Tucker Craft Josh Jacobs stealing
ample volume. However, draft capital as well as expectations have
given a bad vibe for Matthew Golden to this point.
If anything, this could be a by little window, but
so far it's been bad. Bashall Tutin is giving good
vibes Week one versus Carolina three rushes eleven yards via
six percent of snaps. Week two against the Bengals eight
for forty two on the ground, two catches thirty two
yards and a touchdown across two targets via twenty five
percent of snaps.
Speaker 2: In week two, he was effective.
Speaker 1: Unlimited snap distribution, yet is getting the job done. Tuton
saw an immediate boost in usage and corresponding output after
Tank Bigsby was traded to Philadelphia, so it's wheels up
for Tutin as RB two, possibly pushing for a one
to a one B situation alongside Travis E with bad
in mind. Jacksonville is now a three headed monster at
running back led by ETN, followed by a combination or
tantem of Bashall, Tutan, Laquin Allen pushing for a change
of pace. If not complimentary roles ETN snap shares so
far have been sixty one.
Speaker 2: And sixty six percent.
Speaker 1: He looks to have recaptured his RB one or at
least RB two form with total touches per week, that
being rush and receiving for ETN of nineteen and sixteen
to date. Let's not forget though, Tuton is a prize
talent out of Virginia Tech, fourth round pick, blazing four
point three two speed when it comes to a forty
yard dash.
Speaker 2: And packs a punch at five nine two oh nine.
Speaker 1: The bylow window for Tuton slam shut after the Tank
Bigsby trade. We saw his role expand in week two,
let alone only twenty five percent of snaps. This could
become a fifty percent or greater type player in Tuton.
Speaker 2: This is a hold or a buy in Dynasty. The
vibes are good.
Speaker 1: I don't see a cell high window here with Liam
Cohen running point for Jacksonville to his success story with
Bucky Irving last season, so ETN shares two shares are
encouraging and delivering for us. In the Fantasy World Camp Scataboo,
the vibes are good. Week one at Washington two rushes
negative three yards added, two receptions for twelve yards across
two targets with twel percent of snaps. That was a
bit underwhelming to say the least. However, Week two, Skataboo
turned a corner and usage against Dallas eleven totes forty
five yards and a touchdown, two receptions fourteen yards, three
targets with fifty two percent of snaps, so an above
fifty percent contributor in only a second NFL game. Meanwhile,
Tygron Tracy Junior is reportedly in the doghouse after questioning
the usage of running backs in week one, let alone
him earning a first and goal opportunity that ultimately did
not happen, and that is never a good sign when
a player is questioning a kochie staff. Accordingly, his snapshares
went from seventy four to forty two percent weeks one
to two and could be on the outside of get
in for playing time to camp Scataboo. Then there's Devin Singletary,
seems to be a distant third option with snapshare so
far fifteen and six percent. Did miss most of training
camp and the preseason with a hamstring injury, so it
shouldn't be a surprise that he's being eased in this
As I've projected as well as other analysts, should be
Scatu's backfield. Once he earns enough volume. It's passing the
eye test. He is the better all around higher ceiling
asset than Tracy or Singletary thanks to his size at
five eleven two fifteen in combination of rushing receiving chops
out of Arizona State University that made him a fourth
round pick.
Speaker 2: What Skataboo lacks in straight.
Speaker 1: Line speed or overall athletic ability, he more than makes
up for in toughness, rushing style, contact balance, and yard
after contact potential. With the ball in his hands, he
averaged an absurd six point two yards per carrier across
seven hundred and nine collegiate rushing attempts and halveed in
one hundred and twelve pre receptions in school as well.
Simply put camp Scataboo, the vibes are good and he's
built an experience to take on a feature role, which
I expect to be the case as we see hopefully
a new patterner trend of the order being Scataboo and
then some mixture of Tyrone, Tracy Junior and Devin Singletary RJ.
Speaker 2: Harvey. The vibes to this point have been bad.
Speaker 1: Week one versus Tennessee six rushes seventy yards, had that
big rush that's sort of elevated or added helium to
an otherwise disappointing week. Overall, he added a catch for
negative one yards. I'm on targets with a twenty nine
percent snap share. Week two Indianapolis step backwards. Five rushes
eight yards, one catch, sixteen yards, two targets on thirty
three percent of snaps. The reason why I think the
vibes are bad for RJ. Harvey is that people that
invested in him, whether it's redraft or dynasty with a
first round King Draft pick, is that the initial role
has not existed. He has a bright future in Denver,
and I think there is a bylow window that exists
and should be capitalized on. However, in the short term,
RJ is a bet on per touch effectiveness instead of volume.
That perceived or protected volume is going to JK. Dobbins
and surprising enough, Tyler Beiday as a receiver. Speaking enough Dobbins,
he's functioning as the Broncos primary running back with snap
shares of fifty three to forty five percent to date,
eighteen total touch and fifteen total touches over weeks one
and two two rushing touchdowns, while as I mentioned, Tyler
Braday is more involved than expected with snap braids of
eighteen and twenty two percent four catches across eight targets.
Speaker 2: So in a sense, r J.
Speaker 1: Harvey was handpicked by Sean Paydon, yet is in a
committee with Dobbins and Beday, whereas Biday is in line,
if not receiving more work than Harvey. And because of that,
the vibes entering week three are bad. There is plenty
of time to turn around. I'm not going to dismiss
him as a talent. I was more out than in
at cost, which is why I shied away from him
rookie drafts.
Speaker 2: But now the course of value.
Speaker 1: Has changed and you could swoop in and bet on
long term returns as opposed to a year one prominent role.
Things could change quickly, but for now, Urjie Harvey has
disappointed more than contributed. Time for a quick break and
I'll be back with three more rookies passing the vibe
test in a good or bad way. Before I get
to that, don't forget Patreon one stop shop for a

that short break, Eliciomann or the vibes are good. Week
one at Denver two catches thirteen yards, seven targets via
seventy nine percent of snaps. Week two versus La Rams
four catches, fifty six yards and a touchdown. It was
a remarkable play by camp Ward, who made an illvised
throw across his body and across the field gets somehow
Io Mannor hauled it in. That was a.
Speaker 2: Seventy three percent snapshore.
Speaker 1: So far, it's been the Io Manner and Calvin Ridley show,
the difference being Iomannor scored that touchdown. Cam Mood is
showing off his natural paymic and ability in tandem with
questionable decision making, which is par for the course for
what we expected as somewhat of a raw rookie. Despite
his first overall draft capital. Even so, Io Manner has
quickly asserted himself as a top target in the Titans
passing attack, ahead of veterans like Van Jefferson Tyler Lockett.
He has exceeded expectations I had, as you all know
if you're on Patreon, Iomanner graded as a Day two prospect.
I was very high on him as a pure talent
post draft. I was discouraged by the Tennessee landing spots.
He slid the Day three to the fourth round. That
being said, he could very well crush his draft capital
in real life, let alone return a high ROI from
a Dynasty lens. Because he was sliding to the third, fourth,
sometimes fifth Brown in offseason rookie drafts. He's six' to
two two oh SIX Outsi Andy collis production in his
two years With stanford one hundred and twenty five, catches
one thousand andrew forty four yards receiving in twelve.
Speaker 2: Touchdowns the early returns.
Speaker 1: Are, fantastic the vibes are, good io, manners a starter
and lock for two receiver, sets and it's not the
question that he becomes the obviously over one In tennessee
ahead Of Calvin. Ridley that's a bit bold the state
Entering week, three yet certainly, possible and we reflect back
on a FULL nfl. Campaign all in, all this is
more of a hold than cash out or sell hot,
situation because the tape was really really good for him At.
Stanford AS i, mentioned it was just the landing spot
In tennessee that created some. Uncertainty your risk based on
others in OUR gdp close to, Him Caleb, johnson the
vibes are obviously Bad week one against The, jets one
rush negative two yards and a fumble only four percent of.
Speaker 2: Snaps week two of Our, seattle things.
Speaker 1: Got, worse one rush one, yard three percent of snaps
and a huge mental mistake that Allowed seattle to score
a special team's touchdown on a.
Speaker 2: Kickoff if you saw the, play you know What i'm referring.
Speaker 1: To if you have not seen a, Play Caleb johnson
let a ball go past him on a, Kickoff, seattle
with a heads up, decision scored a touchdown picking up the.
Speaker 2: Ball head Coach Mike.
Speaker 1: Tomlin The steelers is already indicated as a, good if not,
probable chance That Caleb johnson is either inactive or will
not be involved on special. Teams so this becomes a
very difficult situation in dynasty to manage because for now
it's remaining and will Be Jalen moren as The STEELERS
rb one with snap shares of forty five and fifty eight,
percent with production to back it, up and a mixture
Of Kenneth gainwell at fifty four and forty two percent of.
Snaps if you do have shares Of Caleb, johnson the
vibes are. Bad it's not the time to sell low,
though because he wasn't exciting third round talent out Of.
Iowa he's just not usable in fantasy right now and
won't be in lineups for the seeable. Future you could
buy low if you're deep at running back or want
to flip an aging talent for the potential long term
upside Of Cale, johnson but it's relatively clear that it's
A Jalen mooren and to a lesser, Extent Kenneth gainwall.
Show Caleb johnson does not have the trust Of Mike
tomlin Or Aaron, rodgers which are both crucial pieces to
him seeing the, field whether it's on offense or how
he was seeing it on special. Teams so this is
a bad situation that does not have an immediate exit barring.
Injury ahead of him on a depth, chart remain, patient
but realize that the year one upside that some thought
existed is simply not there unless things changed drastically over
the rest of this season and, last but not Least
Colson lovelin bad vibes at this, point AND i was
someone that was pounding the table for Both Tyler warren
And colson love in this. Offseason it's discouraging For. Lovelan
great to see That Tyler WARN's off to a nice,
start But lovelan was drafted ahead of him tenth overall
by The Bears week one Versus. Minnesota two, catches twelve,
yards two targets via fifty seven percent of.
Speaker 2: Snaps not the worse for a, debut but certainly.
Speaker 1: Underwhelming week two At detroit one, target no, catches fifty
three percent of Snap so we're now entering week three
there's not a lot of clarity on his.
Speaker 2: Role he's not earning substantial. Volume he's on the.
Speaker 1: Field for over half the, plays but when pushed them to,
show if you're spending a first round draft pick On Colson,
lovelin you're expecting a lot. More, meanwhile Co comet has
gone one for thirty one with four targets via ninety
percent of snaps and two for twenty nine of two
targets va nine percent of. Snaps so Co comet is
The bears tight end to, trust at least for. Now
but the narrative Of loveland Being Ben johnson's new version
Of Samila porta has fallen. Short it's not translating in
THE nfl. Field through two, Weeks loveland snap shares are
solid again fifty seven and fifty three percent for weeks
one and, two. Respectively the, volume the counting, stats those
are non.
Speaker 2: Existent that's a.
Speaker 1: Concern here then, again, though outside Of DeAndre swift And,
romadunsday The bears offensive playmakers have been a major letdown
over two. Contests this could Be Ben, Johnson Caleb, williams
the whole offensive package being ironed out and hopefully improved
upon moving, forward but the early returns are highly. Discouraging
there's no other choice but to remain. Patient Because lovelan
was a tenth overall. Pick he has pedigree and production
In michigan on his side to turn things. Around Ben
johnson wouldn't put his name on a first, round top
ten pick him less he really did believe in the. Talent,
yes the vibes are, bad there's plenty of time to
turn things. Around do not sell low On Coleston. Lovelin
out of all the bad vibe Players i've, DISCUSSED i
feel most optimistic about him being featured incorporated the rest of.
Speaker 2: Season just give it some.
Speaker 1: TIME i didn't include anyone that is quote unquote a
superstar off to a slow start or at least a
highly tootled prospects such As Ashing gente Or Omarion, hampton
because those seem like far fetched players to overreact on
or give up on so soon BUT i thought for
a rookie vibes check good or. Bad the filing THAT
i just discussed were the most important to bring up
on this week's, episode and those were once, Again Matthew
golden with bad vibes so, Far base Shall tune good,
Vibes Cam skataboo good. VIBES R J harvey bad, vibes
Eliic iomanner good, Vibes Caleb johnson bad, vibes And Colson
loveln bad.
Speaker 2: Vibes thanks for listening. Up you'll enjoyed this week's.
Speaker 1: Show bottom line is it's too early to take victory
laps or pronounce a player a bust because it's been two,
weeks BUT i wanted to at least give you that
vibe check to see where their value or pulse is
at in The dynasty, landscape potentially creating some opportunities to
buy low or sell high if.
Speaker 2: You choose to do.
Speaker 1: So thanks, again until next. Time this is The dynasty
of checking. Out don't. Forget i'll be vacation next, week
returning the following, Week but if you want access to
My dynasty, quarterback running back or wide receiver rankings top,
fifty you know where to go either become a member
On patreon or you already have access and you're reviewing those.
