00:00:20,640 --> 00:00:23,719
Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Dude Podcast. I'm your host,

2
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:27,079
Corey Evans. This week's episode is titled better Late than Never.

3
00:00:27,359 --> 00:00:30,760
Simple premise, there's players each and every year, whether the

4
00:00:30,879 --> 00:00:35,200
rookie sophomores or established veterans that we're banking on the

5
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:39,280
breakout or the achieving fulfilling expectations to occur, and sometimes

6
00:00:39,439 --> 00:00:43,439
it does not. These five names this week have finally arrived,

7
00:00:43,600 --> 00:00:47,439
hence the episode title better Late than Never return dividends,

8
00:00:47,439 --> 00:00:50,399
perhaps longer than we might have expected to wait, but

9
00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:54,320
finally the value has become more consistent week over week

10
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,200
and they are very serviceable assets in twenty twenty four.

11
00:00:57,359 --> 00:00:59,479
Before we get to that, a shout out to Jackie

12
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:04,200
for joining Patreon. Much appreciated. Speaking up Patreon. Finally, it

13
00:01:04,239 --> 00:01:07,120
has been fixed in terms of the switch over to

14
00:01:07,159 --> 00:01:10,719
the required now subscription billion model, so I have three

15
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,760
tiers to choose from first being rookie five dollars a month,

16
00:01:15,079 --> 00:01:18,680
veteran twelve dollars a month, or MVP twenty five dollars

17
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:21,920
per month, based on your budget while you're comfortable spending

18
00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,760
on a per month basis. You can check all that

19
00:01:24,879 --> 00:01:28,159
out on Patreon dot com or visit my links on

20
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:31,640
social media dying as to do pod all platforms, or

21
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:33,480
if you want a direct link to check out your

22
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:36,439
episode show notes on Apple or Spotify. And I have

23
00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:39,239
had people ask me what is Patreon. Perhaps I've never

24
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,359
explained it in detail enough, which is a quick summary

25
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:46,719
is that it's a website or hosting platform that allows

26
00:01:46,799 --> 00:01:51,879
content creators like myself to monetize extra or bonus coverage,

27
00:01:51,959 --> 00:01:55,439
content minds in the form of episodes, and engagement with

28
00:01:55,599 --> 00:01:58,280
direct messages. So if you want to support me financially,

29
00:01:58,359 --> 00:02:00,319
it's the best way to do so, especially now this

30
00:02:00,359 --> 00:02:04,120
new migrated subscription billing system where you can choose between

31
00:02:04,120 --> 00:02:06,079
three of my tier levels. Please give it a shot.

32
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:08,680
I don't think you'll regret it, so better late than never.

33
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,039
Up first is Sam Donald. He's twenty seven years old,

34
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,560
still relatively young for a quarterback when it comes to

35
00:02:14,639 --> 00:02:15,879
shelf life in the NFL.

36
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: Let's all rewind.

37
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:20,039
Speaker 1: Though third overall pick in twenty eighteen out of USC

38
00:02:20,159 --> 00:02:22,319
to the Jets. He played with the Jets from twenty

39
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:23,400
eighteen to twenty twenty.

40
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:24,319
Speaker 2: That was a bust.

41
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:27,159
Speaker 1: Did not fit the scheme, fit or live up to

42
00:02:27,319 --> 00:02:30,879
his USC hype, then landed with Carolina twenty one to

43
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:34,280
twenty twenty two, showed some growth or room for improvement,

44
00:02:34,319 --> 00:02:37,159
but ultimately again did not pan out forty nine ers

45
00:02:37,199 --> 00:02:38,800
and twenty twenty three as the back of the Rock

46
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:42,319
Party and then seemingly out of nowhere, Minnesota gave Donald

47
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:45,039
a shot with a one year, ten million dollar contract,

48
00:02:45,039 --> 00:02:47,759
eight point seventy five million of which is guaranteed, and

49
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,439
then we look ahead twenty twenty five. Donald is an

50
00:02:50,479 --> 00:02:53,439
unrestricted free agent and he figures to now received plenty

51
00:02:53,479 --> 00:02:56,840
of interest in the open market at the breakout season

52
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,960
to this point with the Vikings in twenty twenty four,

53
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:02,759
the twenty twenty five rookie quarterback class does not look

54
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:06,000
all that great on paper outside of Shduur Sanders and

55
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:09,319
cam Ward a lot of volatility thereafter. So a veteran

56
00:03:09,479 --> 00:03:13,639
like Donald, who has really become a centerpiece, at least

57
00:03:13,639 --> 00:03:16,919
in the short term of the Vikings franchise this season,

58
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:20,159
could generate a lot of interest and be a stopgap

59
00:03:20,280 --> 00:03:23,599
or potential long term suitor to fill a vacated quarterback

60
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:26,479
position for an NFL team. So far this year with

61
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:29,560
Minnesota two thousand, seven hundred and seventeen yards passing, twenty

62
00:03:29,599 --> 00:03:33,159
one touchdowns to ten interceptions, sixty seven point six completion

63
00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:36,680
percentage rates, eight point three yards best attempt a one

64
00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:39,159
to one point seven passer rating, one of his best

65
00:03:39,199 --> 00:03:41,520
accolades out of all the metrics so far, and then

66
00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:44,120
forty eight one st five and one as a rusher

67
00:03:44,280 --> 00:03:45,280
in eleven games played.

68
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:46,960
Speaker 2: He's only really had that being Sam Darnold.

69
00:03:47,039 --> 00:03:50,479
Speaker 1: Two dud showings came in Week five versus Jets, his

70
00:03:50,599 --> 00:03:54,039
former team a Bucks seventy nine through the air, no touchdowns,

71
00:03:54,120 --> 00:03:57,560
one interception, and Week ten against Jacksonville he had twosred

72
00:03:57,599 --> 00:04:01,919
forty one ards passing, no touchdowns, three interceptions. Otherwise, Donald

73
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:04,120
has cleared two hundred and eight yards passing in all

74
00:04:04,159 --> 00:04:06,199
but one other contest. It was actually one of his

75
00:04:06,280 --> 00:04:09,080
better games in terms of efficiency. It was Week three

76
00:04:09,159 --> 00:04:10,879
vers Houston, where he had a Buck eighty one through

77
00:04:10,919 --> 00:04:15,080
the air, four touchdowns passing no interceptions. In fact, Donald

78
00:04:15,159 --> 00:04:18,639
two plus passing touchdowns in eight different games. He is

79
00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:22,839
a borderline quarterback one quarterback two in a one quarterback league.

80
00:04:22,879 --> 00:04:27,480
He is a streamable, matchup driven option in superflex or

81
00:04:27,519 --> 00:04:30,319
two quarterback leagues. I think Donald is a very sound

82
00:04:30,399 --> 00:04:33,240
choice to be your quarterback two, perhaps a QB one

83
00:04:33,279 --> 00:04:35,279
if your team is loaded in other areas such as

84
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:38,279
running back, wide receiver, or tight end. All in all, though,

85
00:04:38,319 --> 00:04:41,079
Sam Donald has come a long way better late than never,

86
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:44,240
an excellent scheme fit for Kevin O'Connell, and we can

87
00:04:44,279 --> 00:04:47,800
never say truly what Donald could have been if JJ

88
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:50,480
McCarthy not tares Meniscus. I do think JJ would have

89
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:54,240
got eventually pushed into the mix for starting reps. Here

90
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,959
we are, though, Minnesota one of the best teams in

91
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,800
the NFC, let alone the NFC North. Sam Donald playing

92
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,600
for not only this season, but landing potentially a mega

93
00:05:02,639 --> 00:05:05,360
contract in the offseason for a lot of teams that

94
00:05:05,360 --> 00:05:09,920
are in desperation at quarterback. Jerry Judy's twenty five, fifteenth

95
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,759
overall pick to Denver back in twenty twenty at Alabama,

96
00:05:12,959 --> 00:05:16,319
he was an elite college prospect production profile that really

97
00:05:16,319 --> 00:05:18,959
stood out. With one hundred and fifty nine career catches

98
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,759
for two thousand, seven hundred and forty two yards receiving

99
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,160
twenty six touchdowns receiving wise, and seventeen point two yards

100
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:27,759
per catch, Jerry Judy looked about as full proof as

101
00:05:27,800 --> 00:05:31,480
it gets at wide receiver. Unfortunately, at least with Denver,

102
00:05:31,839 --> 00:05:35,360
it was not all sunshine and rainbows. Twenty twenty fifty

103
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,680
two fifty six, three touchdowns, sixteen and a half yards

104
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,519
per ketch, one hundred and thirteen targets. He was a

105
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,160
PPR wide out forty seven. So so for rookie season

106
00:05:44,439 --> 00:05:48,040
sophomore twenty twenty one thirty eight forty seven, no touchdowns,

107
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,480
twelve point three yards per catch, fifty six targets.

108
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,079
Speaker 2: Why was he raty five? Uh oh panic.

109
00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: In the streets Thirty years of pro twenty twenty two

110
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:58,079
sixty seven nine to seventy two and six, fourteen and

111
00:05:58,079 --> 00:06:00,519
a half yards per catch, one hundred targets the wide

112
00:06:00,560 --> 00:06:04,720
receiver twenty two. Finally we saw at least the potential

113
00:06:04,759 --> 00:06:08,839
to fulfill the early expectations. Out of Alabama twenty twenty

114
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,560
three fifty four seven fifty eight, two touchdowns, fourteen yards

115
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,439
per catch, eighty seven targets, widstrecre fifty. Now we're back

116
00:06:15,639 --> 00:06:20,120
to that unknown or more likely bus territory. Suddenly twenty

117
00:06:20,160 --> 00:06:22,560
twenty four, Jerry Judy has really turned a corner with

118
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:25,879
the Cleveland Browns forty five six, forty five and two

119
00:06:26,199 --> 00:06:28,680
fourteen point three yards per catch on seventy eight targets

120
00:06:28,680 --> 00:06:30,839
in only eleven games played. Now, he's not going to

121
00:06:30,839 --> 00:06:33,160
ever be ceed Lamb. And that was the big debate

122
00:06:33,519 --> 00:06:36,040
in that rookie class. Do you go Jerry Judy or

123
00:06:36,079 --> 00:06:39,639
Ceede Lamb? And quite obviously the answer is Cede Lamb. Nonetheless,

124
00:06:39,720 --> 00:06:43,240
Judy's value has increased substantially since Jameis Winston took over

125
00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,240
as the brown starting quarterback in Week eight. Since then,

126
00:06:46,439 --> 00:06:49,639
Jerry Judy five for seventy nine versus Baltimore seven for

127
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:52,560
seventy three verst of Chargers six for one hundred and

128
00:06:52,560 --> 00:06:54,759
forty two yards and a touchdown hit the Saints, and

129
00:06:54,800 --> 00:06:58,079
then last week in the snow game versus Pittsburgh six

130
00:06:58,199 --> 00:07:01,399
grabs eighty five yards. Jerry us he is under contract

131
00:07:01,399 --> 00:07:03,639
with Cleveland until twenty twenty eight, so he has stability.

132
00:07:03,920 --> 00:07:07,360
The question, however, is the usage and the splits with

133
00:07:07,439 --> 00:07:11,000
Deshaun Watson, Jameis Winston, or even dtr At times, I

134
00:07:11,040 --> 00:07:13,639
tend to think that Judy is now stabilized or rounded

135
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:15,560
out as a wide receiver three with some wide receiver

136
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:20,000
two potential safe floor a somewhat limited ceiling especially with

137
00:07:20,519 --> 00:07:24,720
Nick Chubb getting his legs underneath him. Elijah Moore, Sect Tillman,

138
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:30,519
David Njoku all associated pieces of the Cleveland passing attack. Therefore,

139
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:32,680
it's great to see that Jerry Judy has arrived, as

140
00:07:32,720 --> 00:07:34,600
I mentioned, better late than never. But I think this

141
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:36,839
might be more of a cell high than hold or

142
00:07:37,079 --> 00:07:40,800
by high situation, because the sample size is large enough

143
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:42,639
from twenty twenty twenty twenty three to see that he

144
00:07:42,680 --> 00:07:45,600
was a wide receiver forty seven eighty five twenty two

145
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,519
to fifty on an annual basis, the outlier there clearly

146
00:07:48,519 --> 00:07:51,839
being wide receiver twenty two. How about Kate Otten He's

147
00:07:51,879 --> 00:07:54,480
twenty five, very young for a tight end, still fourth

148
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,839
rounder out of Washington. Back in twenty twenty two, he

149
00:07:56,879 --> 00:07:59,560
was an underrated college tight end prospect in terms of

150
00:07:59,759 --> 00:08:03,240
per outputs, with ninety one career receptions for onenty twenty

151
00:08:03,279 --> 00:08:06,879
six yard receiving and nine touchdowns scored as a rookie

152
00:08:06,920 --> 00:08:09,079
in twenty twenty two with Tampa Bay out and went

153
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:11,600
forty two three hint one and two nine point three

154
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:14,399
yards per catch sixty five targets as the PPR Titan

155
00:08:14,519 --> 00:08:17,439
twenty six, twenty twenty three as a sophomore forty seven,

156
00:08:17,759 --> 00:08:20,480
four forty five and four nine point seven yards per catch,

157
00:08:20,519 --> 00:08:23,399
sixty seven targets tight end twenty so with slight improvement

158
00:08:23,800 --> 00:08:27,120
year three, it's been a breakout campaign four kid, He's

159
00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:30,560
gone fifty forty six and four nine point seven seventy

160
00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:31,360
three targets.

161
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,120
Speaker 2: You can see the yards per ketch.

162
00:08:32,840 --> 00:08:35,559
Speaker 1: Have been early similar year over year instead of the

163
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,519
increasing Now are the county stats that's receptions, yardage and

164
00:08:38,559 --> 00:08:41,279
hopefully touchdowns. He is matches his career high so far

165
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,080
but four trips to the end zone this season. Otten's

166
00:08:44,159 --> 00:08:48,120
role has undoubtedly expanded as a go to target for

167
00:08:48,159 --> 00:08:51,120
Baker Mayfield. With Mike Evans and Chris Gobin sidelined from

168
00:08:51,159 --> 00:08:54,639
Week seven to ten, Outen has been an elite ROI

169
00:08:54,759 --> 00:08:57,279
for those who have started him let alone waited since

170
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,720
the twenty twenty two selection rookie drafts eight hundred yards

171
00:09:00,759 --> 00:09:03,639
versus Baltimore nine for eighty one and two touchdowns versus

172
00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:06,600
Atlanta eight for seventy seven in a score against Kansas

173
00:09:06,639 --> 00:09:09,559
City five to thirty five versus forty nine ers Tampa

174
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,679
Bay was on BIOMEG eleven. Mike Evans did return in

175
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:15,559
Week twelve against the Giants, and Auden finally came back

176
00:09:15,600 --> 00:09:17,559
down to earth with only one catch for thirty yards.

177
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:18,360
Speaker 2: However, it was not.

178
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:21,240
Speaker 1: A close game, Tampa Bay winning thirty to seven, so

179
00:09:21,279 --> 00:09:23,759
Auden services were not really needed as they were in

180
00:09:23,799 --> 00:09:24,399
weeks past.

181
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,879
Speaker 2: All in all, Kate Adden is one of.

182
00:09:26,840 --> 00:09:28,759
Speaker 1: Those tight ends that, if you remain patient, seems to

183
00:09:28,799 --> 00:09:30,600
be reaping the benefits.

184
00:09:30,159 --> 00:09:32,039
Speaker 2: And rewards in year three.

185
00:09:32,159 --> 00:09:34,720
Speaker 1: He's under contract till twenty twenty six. With it being

186
00:09:34,759 --> 00:09:37,240
such a paper thin landscape if you don't have a

187
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,919
few names at the position, Kateadden seems like a steal

188
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,240
and more of a hold than sell high at this

189
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,159
time because we don't know the future of Chris Goblin

190
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:48,960
beyond this postseason or heading into the offseason, and Mike

191
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:53,279
Evans is aging so far, Trey Palmer and Jalen McMillan

192
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,759
have not lived up to stepping up the roles of

193
00:09:56,799 --> 00:09:58,799
Evans are Goblin when they were sidelined. It has been

194
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:01,519
Kate Odden who is now a no brainer tight end

195
00:10:01,559 --> 00:10:04,200
one at least for the rest of this season, based

196
00:10:04,200 --> 00:10:06,279
on the usage we've seen over the second half of

197
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:06,919
the campaign.

198
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:07,759
Speaker 2: It took some.

199
00:10:07,799 --> 00:10:10,279
Speaker 1: Time and It was an immediate but we're seeing the

200
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,480
steady growth and it was worth the wait time for

201
00:10:12,519 --> 00:10:13,000
a quick break.

202
00:10:13,039 --> 00:10:13,879
Speaker 2: Be back with two.

203
00:10:13,679 --> 00:10:16,519
Speaker 1: More better late than never players. Before I get to that,

204
00:10:16,799 --> 00:10:19,240
go forget. If you want to get on my calendar

205
00:10:19,399 --> 00:10:21,919

208
00:10:28,320 --> 00:10:31,840
do pod on all platforms. Thirty bucks, thirty minutes, fifty hours,

00:10:31,960 --> 00:10:35,200

and will coordinate with each other schedules. Lock it in

212
00:10:40,919 --> 00:10:46,360
a sap be right back. Darnell Mooney comes to mind.

213
00:10:46,399 --> 00:10:49,399
He's twenty seven fifth rounder out of Tulane Chicago.

214
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 2: In twenty twenty.

215
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:53,000
Speaker 1: He was a monster in school with one hundred and

216
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:55,279
fifty four career catches for two thousand, five hundred and

217
00:10:55,320 --> 00:10:58,720
seventy two yards, receiving nineteen touchdowns sixteen point seven yards

218
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:01,240
per catch with the Bear, it was a slow burmer.

219
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,679
Darnold Mooney twenty twenty is a rookie sixty one six

220
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:06,919
thirty one four touchdowns, ten point three guards per catch.

221
00:11:06,919 --> 00:11:07,759
Speaker 2: Ninety eight targets.

222
00:11:07,799 --> 00:11:11,639
Speaker 1: The PPR wideout fifty showed some encouragement and promise, nothing

223
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,000
that really jumped off the page or on film.

224
00:11:14,120 --> 00:11:16,600
Speaker 2: Twenty twenty one as a sophomore was another story.

225
00:11:16,840 --> 00:11:20,120
Speaker 1: Eighty one ten fifty five and four touchdowns, thirteen yards

226
00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:23,559
per catch, one hundred and forty targets, so alpha usage

227
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:27,320
wide receiver twenty three just cracked or finished inside the

228
00:11:27,399 --> 00:11:30,320
top twenty four or wide receiver two in twelve teen leagues.

229
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:32,960
Twenty twenty two and twenty twenty three were steps back.

230
00:11:33,039 --> 00:11:35,399
Twenty twenty two was forty four ninety three and two

231
00:11:35,559 --> 00:11:37,919
for twelve point three guards per catch, sixty one targets,

232
00:11:38,039 --> 00:11:40,679
wide receiver seventy one, and then twenty twenty three was

233
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:44,080
thirty one four to fourteen, only one touchdown, thirteen point

234
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,440
four yards per reception, again exactly sixty one targets, and

235
00:11:47,440 --> 00:11:49,120
the wide receiver eighty three. So it was the wide

236
00:11:49,120 --> 00:11:52,399
receiver fifty twenty three seventy one eighty three. To begin

237
00:11:52,639 --> 00:11:55,159
his NFL tenure with the Bears, he fizzled out with

238
00:11:55,159 --> 00:11:58,480
the franchise, but so far with Atlanta on twenty twenty four,

239
00:11:58,519 --> 00:12:01,240
it's been amazing four thirty eight seven to eleven and

240
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:04,559
five fourteen point yards per reception, eighty one targets and

241
00:12:04,600 --> 00:12:07,120
eleven games played, and he was actually the PPR wide

242
00:12:07,120 --> 00:12:10,399
out nine prior to start of week twelve again and

243
00:12:10,519 --> 00:12:12,799
Lanta on bye is going to change that. Mooney has

244
00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:15,840
been so consistent and more reminiscent of his twenty twenty

245
00:12:15,840 --> 00:12:17,799
one sophomore season with the Bears when he was a

246
00:12:17,799 --> 00:12:20,159
wide out twenty three. He has at least five catches

247
00:12:20,159 --> 00:12:23,159
in five contests this season, six more targets in eight games,

248
00:12:23,279 --> 00:12:26,519
and fifty six yards receiving or greater in seven different showings.

249
00:12:26,519 --> 00:12:28,840
The best parts isa He's under contract with a Land

250
00:12:28,919 --> 00:12:30,960
until twenty twenty seven, so he's a key cog of

251
00:12:31,039 --> 00:12:34,360
the new oc Zach Robinson, the quarterback duo short and

252
00:12:34,399 --> 00:12:37,399
long term of Kirk Cousins Michael Pennick Junior, and a

253
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:41,480
great compliment to Drake London's big X receiver body frame,

254
00:12:41,759 --> 00:12:45,360
so Mooney can take advantage of weaker or less defensive attention,

255
00:12:45,799 --> 00:12:47,159
become that possession wide out and.

256
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:48,440
Speaker 2: Even starts the field and necessary.

257
00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:51,600
Speaker 1: I do believe that Mooney has overachieved a bit those

258
00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:54,799
room for growth in terms of touchdowns at five right now,

259
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:56,559
but the fact that he was the wide receiver nine

260
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,480
in full PPR entering week twelve seems a bit far

261
00:12:59,519 --> 00:13:03,799
fetched unsustainable. But a wide receiver two or consistent reliable

262
00:13:03,799 --> 00:13:07,000
wide receiver three with those spike weeks depending on usage

263
00:13:07,039 --> 00:13:10,440
for Drake London, Kyle Pitts, Orbijian Robinson really makes Mooney

264
00:13:10,639 --> 00:13:14,159
an attractive hold in downs formats or a by high

265
00:13:14,159 --> 00:13:16,200
where you know what you're getting for a twenty seven

266
00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:19,240
year old veteran player who has proven in twenty twenty

267
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:21,360
one that it can be an eighty plus ketch receiver

268
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,000
over a thousand yards and deliver on one hundred and

269
00:13:24,039 --> 00:13:26,639
forty targets or north of that, sign me up for

270
00:13:26,639 --> 00:13:28,320
more shares don on Moon. He's been a great value,

271
00:13:28,360 --> 00:13:32,440
one of the better overall investments of the offseason when

272
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,000
you compare ADP to now production in twenty twenty four,

273
00:13:35,039 --> 00:13:38,159
and last, but not least, Juwan Jennings is also twenty seven,

274
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:40,039
a seventh rounder of the forty nine ers out of

275
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:42,399
Tennessee back in twenty twenty checks in at sixty three

276
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:43,960
two twelve. If you remember correctly, he does not have

277
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:47,240
all that enticing of an athletic profile four point seventy

278
00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,080
two forty so lacks straight line speed twenty nine x

279
00:13:50,159 --> 00:13:51,919
vertical on a nine foot eleven inx broad jump. Go

280
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,120
to show that the lack of explosion when it comes

281
00:13:55,159 --> 00:13:59,120
to metrics, analytics don't necessarily always equate to steam fits,

282
00:13:59,279 --> 00:14:02,559
and that could be more important than overall athleticism, especially

283
00:14:02,559 --> 00:14:05,080
when you're tied to Kyle Shanahan brought Purdy and the

284
00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,720
creativity of what Juwan Jennings can do on the field

285
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,120
as an inside outside mismatch. I will say that Jennings

286
00:14:11,120 --> 00:14:13,840
had a solid Kyle dresume, perhaps one that was overlooked

287
00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,320
and indicated his NFL potential. With one hundred and forty

288
00:14:16,320 --> 00:14:19,639
six career catches, eighteen touchdowns, fourteen point seven yards per

289
00:14:19,679 --> 00:14:22,320
catch with the forty nine ers, he fits the bill

290
00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:24,320
of being better late than never because in twenty twenty

291
00:14:24,480 --> 00:14:26,799
had no stats whatsoever as a rookie, so in a sense,

292
00:14:26,879 --> 00:14:29,519
was a red shirt season twenty twenty one, twenty four,

293
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,879
twenty two five touchdowns, eleven point eight ears perketch, thirty

294
00:14:32,879 --> 00:14:36,480
eight targets PPR wide receiver ninety twenty twenty two thirty

295
00:14:36,519 --> 00:14:39,720
five four sixteen and one eleven point nine yards per ketch,

296
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:43,159
fifty six targets wide receiver ninety again twenty twenty three

297
00:14:43,559 --> 00:14:46,840
nineteen for two sixty five and a touchdown, thirteen point

298
00:14:46,879 --> 00:14:48,879
nine yards per grab, thirty three targets as a wide.

299
00:14:48,679 --> 00:14:49,360
Speaker 2: Receiver one ten.

300
00:14:49,399 --> 00:14:52,120
Speaker 1: At this point, it seemed like Jennings was living up

301
00:14:52,120 --> 00:14:54,200
to his Day three draft capital the seventh round or

302
00:14:54,279 --> 00:14:57,840
not all that relevant. More depth than ever important in

303
00:14:57,919 --> 00:15:01,000
fantasy or real life, however, not so. Twenty twenty four

304
00:15:01,279 --> 00:15:04,240
forty seven six twenty eight and four touchdowns, thirteen point

305
00:15:04,279 --> 00:15:07,000
four yards per catch, and sixty five targets. Juwan has

306
00:15:07,039 --> 00:15:11,399
benefited from two things and capitalized on them. Opportunity and

307
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,919
injuries to Christian McCaffrey, Brandon Ayuk, Deebo, Samuel George Kittle,

308
00:15:14,960 --> 00:15:18,200
all missing time at some point this season. A few

309
00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,000
of his stand up performances include Week three at the Rams,

310
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:25,600
which was an outright superstar game, eleven for abut seventy

311
00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,919
five and three touchdowns. Welcome to the NFL, Juwan Jennings,

312
00:15:29,039 --> 00:15:32,360
or at least on everyone's radar in fantasy football circles.

313
00:15:32,519 --> 00:15:34,879
Week ten at him Bay seven for ninety three, Week

314
00:15:34,879 --> 00:15:37,559
eleven verse Seattle ten ninety one in a touchdown.

315
00:15:37,759 --> 00:15:39,519
Speaker 2: He along with all the forty nine Ers.

316
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: Pass catchers outside of George Kittle, did not perform all

317
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:45,240
that well in Week twelve because it was a disaster

318
00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,039
of Brandon Allen a quarterback, even if it was a

319
00:15:47,039 --> 00:15:49,679
pivot to Joshua Dobbs. I don't think the forty nine

320
00:15:49,759 --> 00:15:52,919
ers offense will be effective until rock Pretty returns. But

321
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,080
that's a whole other conversation. This just focuses on Jennings

322
00:15:56,320 --> 00:16:00,399
finally emerging better late than never, great timing. Seen him

323
00:16:00,399 --> 00:16:02,480
on Dynasty Waiver Wires. He was a hot pickup with

324
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,120
I go off to a slow start, his torny acl

325
00:16:05,399 --> 00:16:07,879
the injuries that the forty Nineers are dealt with, not

326
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:11,679
to mention the week three outburst of eleven about seventy

327
00:16:11,679 --> 00:16:14,840
five and three. So the debate now is with Jenny's

328
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:17,080
being under contract till twenty twenty six, is it a

329
00:16:17,159 --> 00:16:21,639
legit role or is Jenny simply benefiting from necessity as

330
00:16:21,639 --> 00:16:24,799
opposed to intent. Where if you had a healthy Brandon

331
00:16:24,799 --> 00:16:27,840
and now you even Ricky Piercell emerging in this offense,

332
00:16:28,279 --> 00:16:31,240
is Jennings all that relevant? It is a tough call

333
00:16:31,240 --> 00:16:33,279
because we've seen what he's capable of. It is just

334
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:36,000
Kyle Shanahan is so creative and spread to ball round

335
00:16:36,039 --> 00:16:39,720
so much that all players can be relevant and viable,

336
00:16:39,759 --> 00:16:41,240
and I don't think that Jenny should.

337
00:16:40,960 --> 00:16:41,519
Speaker 2: Be so low.

338
00:16:41,759 --> 00:16:44,240
Speaker 1: So with that in mind, I'd say a second is

339
00:16:44,279 --> 00:16:46,480
fair game across the board, especially if you're not a contender.

340
00:16:46,720 --> 00:16:49,200
Shipping Jenny's to a contender for a second makes a

341
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,480
lot of sense. A third is basically taking a dart

342
00:16:52,519 --> 00:16:54,960
and seeing if you can hit on another prospect that

343
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:58,519
might not ever achieve the role opportunity that Jennings has

344
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,159
right now and only twenty seven. Sure we look ahead

345
00:17:01,279 --> 00:17:03,480
fast forward to year or two and it could backfire.

346
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:07,720
Yet it seems like he's stabilized enough value and currency

347
00:17:07,759 --> 00:17:10,240
in the forty nine ers offense that there's nowhere to

348
00:17:10,279 --> 00:17:12,839
go but here, which is a second or third. I

349
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,920
don't see it going to a first value range or

350
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:17,079
falling to a fourth or a fifth, So you might

351
00:17:17,119 --> 00:17:19,000
want to see what you have rest of season and

352
00:17:19,039 --> 00:17:21,960
evaluate come the off season. Thank you all for listening.

353
00:17:22,119 --> 00:17:25,000
Hope you all enjoyed this episode. Topic of better Late

354
00:17:25,039 --> 00:17:28,119
than Never, where players might have been deemed or viewed

355
00:17:28,119 --> 00:17:30,319
as busts, but finally have turned that corner and become

356
00:17:30,759 --> 00:17:34,000
solid assets in real life and for us in fantasy football.

357
00:17:34,279 --> 00:17:38,680
Sam Darnold, Jerry Judy, Kate Atten, Donald Mooney and Jawan Jennings.
