Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to the Dynasty Dude Podcast. I'm your host,
Corey Evans. Week eleven is in the books. I have
an episode this week title Rookies is Stash, where I
am simply pinpointing five rookies I think should a be
rostered or be potentially swoop in by low right now
while their stock is lower than it was preseason during
summer rookie drafts, or potentially from weeks one to eleven.
This is now, I think the time to stash these
first year players and hopes that it improves us a
season or towards their sophomore campaigns and a full NFL
offseason for them to ramp up activities or at least
their workload and familiarity with the pro style offense. To that,
don't forget a good time to check in with the
fantasy football playoffs fast approaching for a roster call. I
offer those on Google Meet thirty minutes, thirty dollars, one hour,
fifty dollars Dynasty du Pod on all social media platforms
to hit me up and schedule that, or even a
simple email to dynastydopod at gmail dot com. We can coordinate.
Look at each other's calendars and lock in a date
as well as time that works for us both. This
time of the season, I do tend to see a
spike in roster calls because everybody's in the same boat
being a buyer, seller, or somewhere in between. So don't
hesitate to reach out and get scheduled asap. All right, up, first,
a rookie of Stash will beat Jalen Cocher of the
Carolina Panthers. He's twenty three, a undrafted player out.
Speaker 2: Of Holy Cross.
Speaker 1: In school, he had one hundred and sixty three carew
receptions for sixteen and a half yards per catch thirty
one receiving touchdowns is across four years. In college, he's
six three two thirteen, so the body frame stands out
immediately when you watch his tape out of Holy Cross
or even his samp size with the Panthers. To this point,
four point five forty forty two and a half ins
vertical has jumped out of the gym type athleticism and
a ten foot eight inch broad jump, so the forty
is good, not great, with a vert in broad stand out,
making Coker's rot running and explosion.
Speaker 2: After the catch points notable.
Speaker 1: He has seventeen catches for two sixty three yards wise
one touchdown in sevens played fifteen and a half yards
per catch on twenty six targets, not bad for the
limited usage to this point. He was actually not targeted
until week four for Carolina. Production since then has been
one target, no catches, four grabs sixty eight yards, three
for thirty one for ten. The breakout game was four
catches seventy eight yards and his first touchdown two grab
thirty six yards three for forty one, and then Carolina
was on by in week eleven. His snap rates over
that data sample size have checked in the ten percent
fifty three, sixty five, fifty one, sixty nine, forty five,
and eighty eight, so trending upwards for the most parts.
Very encouraging and it all makes sense. Adam Felen could
return in week twelve, but he is way past his prime.
Deontay Johnson was traded to Baltimore xavierly get profiles as
Carolina is wide out one for the short and long term.
Even so, it all equates to Jalen Cocher having a
role in three, possibly even two receiver sets rest of
the way, as Dave Canalis and the Carolina coaching staff
front office evaluate the young talent on its roster.
Speaker 2: In terms of twenty.
Speaker 1: Twenty five rookie draft capital, I would give up to
acquire Coker first. If he's a free agent in year league,
pick him up. He should be rostered by now, almost
universally in Donze formats. If not, I'd say a twenty
twenty five to third, a fourth potentially if someone's sleeping
on his upside is fair game, I would not spend
a second. It's a bit too lucrative for UDFA and
a franchise header for complete rebuild or in line select
a first second round wide out for years and years
to come. But Coker being wide receiver two or a
compliments wide receiver three for the Panthers makes sense based
on his production and usage over the past month or so.
AJ Barner Seattle Seahawks tight end. He's twenty two, a
fourth rounder out of Michigan this year. Spent two seasons
with Indiana. Transferred to Michigan four twenty twenty three decent,
not spectacular college production. Sixty four career catches, six one
hundred and ten yards, nine and a half yards per reception,
five touchdowns, massive body frame six six two fifty one
was primarily and still is a block first tight end,
but his extension as a receiver in the passing game
is starting to grow on me.
Speaker 2: He was not targeted until Week three.
Speaker 1: Output since then of three for thirteen two twenty seven,
a touchdown, one for thirteen, one for thirteen again one
catch five yards, two for thirty four, four for twenty
seven Seattle's by and then his past.
Speaker 2: Week two grabs fifteen yards.
Speaker 1: His snap shares per week O bett span have checked
in at twenty eight percent thirty nine, twenty six, thirty one,
forty thirty seven, ninety one Seattle's by and eighty five.
The reason for the massive increase in usage and snap
participation is that AJ Barner has stepped in as tight
end one for Seattle in Noah Fense absence because of
his groin injury. It's been out since Weak nine, Seattle's
buy and still week eleven. It does not sound like
the Seahawks considering an IR stint for Fant Regardless, Barner
has been relevant enough to start in two ten end formats.
Speaker 2: We've been tightened premium.
Speaker 1: Not a reliable Week tweak asset yet, but Aj isn't
the same caliber a fan in terms of being a
pass catcher or those traits. However, Barner is a nice
fit for oc Ryan Grubbs offense in terms of tight ends,
being expected to block and stretch a field at least
short intermediate as an outlet for Gino Smith in the
passing attack. I wouldn't go out of my way to
acquire J Barner, but I do think he's being slept
on in terms of what he can contribute. Even a
two titand personnel when does return. A twenty twenty five
to fourth is reasonable. A fifth even possible in a
one tight end format. But again, if you're in a
two tight end league where tight ends are very hard
to come by, and if the start two per week
or even tighten premium where you get another point or
more perception, AJ Barner should not be on dynasty waiver wires.
He should be stashed, and so far rookie has contributed
a lot more than expected. How about Blake Korm He
turns twenty four on November twenty fifth, so this month
third round pick out of Michigan, former teammates of AJ
Barner with a dominant college resume.
Speaker 2: As we all know.
Speaker 1: Blick Korum was a workhorse for the Wolverines career accolades
on the ground of six seventy five thirty seven thirty seven,
fifty eight rushing touchdowns, five point five yards percerry on
ample volume that is unbelievable, and then for good measure
to showcase versatility, fifty six carew receptions. Blake orm is
five eight, two ten a four point five to three
forty thirty five and a half fixed vertical six point
eight two second three come drill, So overall, the numbers
align with a.
Speaker 2: Superb college production profile.
Speaker 1: Blake Koram is not the most athletic run back prospect,
but he's shifty, elusive, and versatile enough to be a
starter in the NFL. He has not been as involved
as projected alongside Kyra Williams. From a preseason puff piece perspective,
there's a lot of hype that Kiren might be relegated
to pump return duties and be the one A to
Korm's one B.
Speaker 2: Not true.
Speaker 1: In fact, korum stats are twenty eight totes for one
hundred and one yards three point six yards per carry
and only four receptions for thirty one yards on four
targets and ten games played to date. Sean McVay typically
relies on one running back as a true three down weapon, and.
Speaker 2: That remains the case for Kyraen Williams.
Speaker 1: That being said, when given volume this year, Korm's rushes
have been eight five, three, four, one, two and five.
That's a minimal change of pace roll with next to
no standalone value.
Speaker 2: Snap rates in those contests have.
Speaker 1: Been fifteen percent fourteen, eleven, eleven, one seven in nineteen,
So he's giving Kyron a breather, but not supplanting him
or even making it a legitimate RBBC. He's a phenomenal
end of bench stash to be a nice handcuff or
compliments to Kyra in the future. But keep in mind
that Kyron is under contract with the Rams till twenty
twenty six, so at least twenty twenty five you can
assume a similar usage rate to Unfold. I do think though,
because of it being tied to Sean mcvay's system. That is,
so running back to pen did that if kyrienn w
werel to ever be sidelined, Korum is worth a twenty
twenty five second or third on that borderline, and I
think he's worth the premium to spend up that second
round pick if you have Kyrien roster because a handcuff
of that magnitude to get slot in to what Kyen
is and quite honestly, Blake Korum is almost a clone
of Kyron's skill set wise, that's invaluable. And if you
don't spend that premium, now Ben wellg and not someone
who has Bla Korm.
Speaker 2: Rostered would charge you even more.
Speaker 1: And put attacks in that premium, which could him out
into a first round pick in terms of cost, and
that would be far too much for Korm when you
wait to make that sort of investment. That being said,
I do think it's a smart strategy to bank on
Korm's real expanding at some point, if not on twenty
twenty four, then in twenty twenty five, to get ease
Kyron's workload a bit, keep him spry and healthy, and
then even in the best case scenario, we could see
Korm become a leadback if Kien leaves the RAMS in
the open market in twenty twenty six. A lot of
variables in play here, but bottom line is if Kyron
would ever miss time, Blake Koran become a hot commodity
acquire him.
Speaker 2: Before that would ever come to fruition. Is how I
look at it.
Speaker 1: Typ for quick break, I'll be back with two more
rookies to stash. Should be top of mind right now
that are underachieving. But this is a long play, long
term investment and outlook here in Dynasty, and you have
to be playing chess Nott checkers. It's what separates the
casual from hardcore, donasty enthusiasts and help you win leagues.
And I'll have those two names up next. One of
them is Marshawn Lloyd, who I think is almost a
forgotten man in Dynasty leagues and that could be a
mistake on our park. He turns twenty four in January
of next year. Third round pick out of USC. He
spent two years with South Carolina and then twenty twenty
three USC.
Speaker 2: Overall production profile to school.
Speaker 1: Was two ninety one sixteen twenty one and nineteen rushing touchdowns,
five point six yards per clip and thirty four total receptions.
He's five nine two twenty so a battering ram, very
agile for a size. The athletic profile stands out far
more than Blake Korum, a four point four to six
forty thirty six injvertical on a nine foot ten inch
broad again is at five nine to twe twenty unique.
He's appeared in one game this season. That was in
Week two versus Indianapolis, where Marshall Lloyd had six toes
fifteen yards and one catch for three yards. He dealt
with a hamstring injury during the offseason in August that
sort of set him behind the pack when it comes
to Josh shakeups and Emmanuel Wilson, even AJ Dillon who's
on IR for the year. But then the ankle sprain
sustained in Week two landed Lloyd on IR and it
sounded like Marsham was ready to return for Week eleven,
but he was dealing with appendicitis. And Green Bay is
actually working direct with the NFL to see if Lloyd
can actually return because the twenty one day practice window
was activated prior to the appendicitis and I've seen mixed
reports where it was actually an appendix being removed, and
if that's true, I can't imagine he's coming to practice
anytime soon. So this is a very gray area of
Lloyd being an eligible return or not. Could be a
red shirt rookie season, and that's why I think now
is the time to pounce, acquire him and stash for
the future. This season can almost be thrown out the
window in terms of immediate value, but I like the
ethotic profile. Even though there's flaws in his game and
those red flags out of school even most notable usc
were fumbles, ball security, and inconsistent and pass protection. But
as a receiver, I think there's a lot of untapped
potential we know he can do between the tackles, bounce
it out wide. Not all that far off quite honestly,
in skill set from Josh Jacobs, which is why I
think Green Bay made that draft selection, sort of like
the Rams choosing Blake Corn to emulate Kier Williams. The
logic is also in play for Lloyd being the same
style of player that is Josh Jacobs. Speaking up, Jacobs
is under contract with bring Bann til twenty twenty eight,
so the odds of Lloyd unseating him as the Packers
starter are slim. However, replacing Manuel Wilson, now that's a
realistic path forward from Marshawn to achieve value alongside Jacobs
with the Packers in terms of what I would pay
right now, I think at most eight to twenty twenty
five third a fort it's probably not enough, but I
can't imagine unless you have Jacob's roster just inherently having
that handcuff or backfield locked in spending a second that
seems like a premium, particularly because Lloyd has barely.
Speaker 2: Been on the field.
Speaker 1: We've seen him for one week, not even a full
We get that six totes one catch.
Speaker 2: The sample size is enough to deter.
Speaker 1: People away from him in dynasty potentially jump ship if
you spent a second on him this year, maybe you'll
take a third or two thirds of twenty five to
draft and wait on a different prospect. Out of all
the names that discussed so far, and will with the
last name, I think Marshawn Lloyd could be acquired perhaps
the cheapest, based down where he was in the preseason,
or just as a talent out of USC and that
is a marketing efficiency. So the goal at least for
me is to send out twenty twenty five third round
picks and see how many shares of Lloyd I can
stash rest of the way, and then last but not least,
it's Kate Stover tight end Houston Texans. He's twenty four
fourth rounder out of Ohio State. He had eighty two
career catches for one thousand, fifty eight yards, receiving ten
touchdowns twelve point nine hos per catch in school. He
actually is a converted defensive lineman and linebacker to tight end,
and that's not brought up enough in his college profile.
The fact that he is still a bit raw and
underdeveloped as a tight end when it comes to route running.
He's fully understanding what he needs to do each and
every play block extend become a receiver in the passing game.
That's a lot to digest and transfer over from Kyleish
to the pros.
Speaker 2: Six ' four two forty one.
Speaker 1: Four point sixty five forty thirty four and a hav
x vertical nine foot nine toe broad. Now I am
recording this episode prior to Monday Night Football, which is
when Houston plays Dallas Stover. Before that game, has eight
catches for eighty seven yards on thirteen targets. Nothing that's
going to make us excited or confident to start him,
even in deep formats. But Dalton Schultz has not looked
as quick, elusive, and reliable this season or even last
for that matter, compared to what we saw in Dallas,
and Schultz is under contract till twenty twenty seven, possible
outdwing twenty twenty six between a half million a dead cap.
I would not be shocked if Stover does enough, either
as a rookie for the ration of this season or
during offseason program activities to really make a push to
become the starter in Houston. Stover is a bet therefore
on the long term upside and the development with exposure
to CJ. Stroud, who sure is having a sophomore regression
campaign of sorts, but I don't doubt what Stroud can
do with Bobby Slowick and Houston's offense in a general
broad scope.
Speaker 2: Not going to spend a lot to break the bank.
Speaker 1: On Kate Stover, perhaps a twenty twenty five to fourth
at most a fifth if someone has a surplus at
tight end, doesn't really see the potential or allure of
what he can do with more opportunities, whether that's in
favor of Dalton Schultz or in tandem with Schultz. The
time is now because not many people are in on
Kate Stover and I'm not guaranteed he's going to pan
out when you look at the environment, the situation, Houston's
depth chart at the position, and Schultz fading into more
irrelevancy than relevancy makes me at the very least intrigued
to stash Stover before he becomes more of a hot
topic in donacie formats. Thank you all for listening up.
You all enjoy the Rookies, the Stash episode. Hopefully cauld
