Speaker 1: Hello and welcome to the Dynasty Dude podcast. I'm your host,
Corey Evans. Training Camp is officially BECK and in honor
of that, I am doing a training camp Value Risers
for free right now, and then a training Camp Value
Followers over on Patreon for a bonus episode this week.
I have a handful of players that I am simply
reacting to based off of practice reports, clips I've seen online,
thinks of that nature, and labeling them as a riser
or follower of value. Of course, things change by the hour.
That's the NFL news cycle. So if we find out
about injuries or anything of that matter, whether it's a
new report that comes out, understand that I am doing
the best I can with the information I have at
this point in time. So let's get right to it.
Training Camp Value Risers. Up first is Cyrus Allen, who
actually now at the time of recording, I learned that
he is carted to the locker room during practice. He
injured his left leg runing into a teammate on a
punch raw, which is unfortunate. The injury is unknown as
TVD in terms of the severity, but the fifth round
rookie as it's a Natty has been the focal point
and number one story for the Chiefs in camp so far.
As a Day three prospect, Cyrus Allen is a looking
to make the team and be carve out a week
one roll. Hopefully this injury is not too serious if
it is just Carb what I'm saying. If it isn't
and it's on the minor side, then this is important
because he's been catching almost everything throw in his direction.
There's been reportedly a few mental mistakes in terms of
lining up on the wrong side of the formation refining
his route tree, but both Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes
seem to be already on the same page of Cyrus
Allen picking up the Chief's offensive system quickly and having
a role on the field now. Rashie rice Is, Abra Worthy,
Taeklon Thornton are more fixtures and receiver personnel group beings
for the Chiefs offensive attack projected. Exabit Worthy also carved
off the field with a shoulder injury, which that sounds
troublesome based on last year's shoulder laboram woes not going
to speculate there, but the Chiefs are down one or
both of Cyrus Allen, Exabit worthy membersche Rice's value will
increase even more. So let's just wait and see what happens.
The spin here, though, is that Cyrus Allen went from
being a late round dart throw in rookie summer adp
if not undrafted, and then spent as a priority AD
after the fact via fab or waiver priority to now
being possibly one of the biggest risers one of the
best fantasy friendly offense and off football. With training camp underway,
let's see what happens for Cyrus, who is on a
bit of a smaller side in terms of wide sheever prospect,
body stature wise. When the pads go on, that's going
to be a big tell into what his role could
look like, if it's going to be more special teams, rotational,
or a possible fixture in three receiver sets. Down Tavion
Wicks has been lining up in twelve personnel so two
receivers with Devontae Smith for Philadelphia, while Kayle Lemon is
still being eased in and rotated back from his offseason
hamstring strain. In due time, I expect it to be
the Smith and Lemon show. But as we know, during
his time with Green Bay, Wicks has had some serious
glimpses of stardom or potential. It's just a matter of
consistency and not dropping the football. He's already made a
few highlight worthy catches during practices, had one forty plus
ar catch went viral on social media. If Jalen Hurts
trust Wicks, that's going to be a huge boost for
his outlook in twenty twenty six on his new team
in Philadelphia. Reflecting back on what Dantaevian's done in the NFL,
has not surpassed thirty nine catches or five hundred and
eighty one yers receiving in any season with the Packers,
those numbers could easily be surpassed in his first year
with the Eagles in twenty twenty six. How about Tank
Bigsby as a training camp value riser keeping things in Philadelphia.
He's been receiving a lot of reps early on in
camp and appears to be the favorite for RB two
duties behind Saquon Barkley, who, as we know before, Barkley
is under contract to twenty twenty nine with Eagles, but
has said that he could decide to hang it up
at any point. It's not this season, obviously, but would
it shocked anyone. If that's twenty seven, twenty eight before
twenty twenty nine. Time will tell, but it's smart to
at least cursory ad or specatively trade for who could
be the heir apparent in Tank Bigsby, who Philadelphia hand
picked to trade for prior to Week two of twenty
twenty five from Jacksonville, and Tank himself is a former
third round selection out of Auburn who was deemed a
day to prospect and that's where his draft capital aligned.
Can do it all, big body feature back status in
terms of skill sets, needs a bit of work as
a receiver, yet does have a similar skill set in
terms of what he can do on the ground as
an early down rusher to that of Saquon Barkley. So
he's a good scheme fit for the Eagles are going
to be doing in twenty twenty six, and we should
see a larger role for Tank this upcoming season than
his short stint with the Eagles in twenty twenty five
based on being traded from Jacksonville to Philadelphia early on
in the campaign. Another value riser is Deshaun Stribbling with
with Ricky Pearsall dealing with the swelling in his knee
and limit effects from twenty twenty five that PCL injury.
The forty nine Ers opted to put Pearsaw in season
ending nine R to proceed with surgery to hopefully correct
the issue moving forward, but he's out for all of
twenty twenty six. That's great news for Stribbling, horrible news
for Pearsaw, who was a testament of their ability during
his time in college, especially at Arizona State, but has
struggled mightily with injuries at the pro level. In San Francisco,
Christian Kirk is dealing with a calf injury, so it's
been wheels up for Mike Evans and Stribbling to soak
up reps early on training camp. It also the injuries
here to both Kirk and more so Pearsaw being season
ending prompted the forty nine ers to sign Deebo Samuel
so Diebo has reunited with Kyle Shanahan and company. Stribling
himself dealing with a hamstring tightness situation, not a strain.
Forty Nineers wanted to clarify that, so it sounds very
minor precautionary measures here being taken. However, Stribbling thirty third
overall pick. Out of ole Miss was a Day two
prospect who many thought were Day three or undrafted. However,
the forty nine Ers decision maker thought otherwise, and in
my opinion, based on the skill set out of ole
Miss and his body frame, he could be a direct
Juwan James replacement and a nice compliment to Mike Evans
as outlets for Purty in the passing game. Scribbling could
have immediate flex value out of the gates, and he
has been a clear riser early on in Ohta is
Let atone. Now in training camp quick break, I'll be

and get that put on my calendar. B right back
after that short break. Another value riser from training camp
is Maliite Benson, who's been taking some first team reps
and arguably been the biggest surprise of offseason practices digging
back to rookie camp OTAs and now training camp itself.
As a six round pick out of Oregon, I've likened
Malik Benson to Troy Franklin former peers at Oregon in
terms of skill set and the vertical field stretching ability
or downfield threat, and I think that's an element that
the Raiders need. Malik has four point three to seven
speed and he is a serious downfield weapon that I
believe both Kirk Cousins and Fernana Mendoza will utilize the
wide out room is paper thin for the Raiders, so
Benson has an opportunity here to make a serious dent
year one as a pro with Trey Tucker, Jalen Naylor,
and Jack Besh as the rejected one two three punch
in some way, shape or form. Of course, the de
facto wide receiver is Brock Bauers in terms of number
one target, He's tied end by trade receiver by nature.
But Malik Benson is someone who I've had my eye
on and now I think that the actual reality is
setting in that he could have a legitimate role for
the Raiders in his first year with the team. How
about Roman Wilson, who reportedly is well ahead of rookie
wide receiver Jimmy Bernard for Pittsburgh's wide receiver three row
behind DK Metcalf. Michael Pittman, I don't know if I'm
buying that narrative based on the beat in Pittsburgh, because
I'm a huge Bernard fan, and it sounds like Bernard
has that big slot role working in his favor. However,
Wilson could mix in and he might have the veteran
edge as a former third Broun pick out of Michigan
in terms of being slightly ahead of the first s
depth charts alongside DK Pittman, where Jimmy Bernard is going
to be I think the higher ceiling option here long term. Still,
Wilson has the trust and familiarity with Aaron Rodgers. Rogers
have been talking up Wilson and the like that I
alluded to. Pittsburgh beat is indicating that both have on
fieldmistry and Wilson is making plays early and often in camp.
Roman has struggled with injuries so far as a pro,
only his twelve career catches and fourteen games played. If
he can put it all together. There was a lot
of exciting tape on a Michigan that made him a
Day two pick, but that's a big if. At this point. Still,
he is a riser in value, and even though the
value might be limited with Aaron Rodgers entering what he
deems his final NFL season, Mike McCarthy's going to bring
a lot more past friendly scheme to this offense and
that will benefit the likes of DK Pittman, Wilson and
Jeremy Bernard collectively. But for now, Ram Wilson has a
stock looking up. Brennan Thompson, rookie receiver for the Chargers
oh Ce Matt McDaniel said that Thompson has captured the
attention of the quarterback room because of his attack and
ownership of the offense. That's great news for anyone who's
taken a fire on Brennan and rookie drafts. He's earning
first team reps. He's mixing in with the likes of
La mccackey, Twyne Johnston, Trey Harris. Justin Herbert said that
Thompson is going to be very good and make a
lot of plays. So you have good rhetoric coming from
Justin Herbert himself. The play caller Mike McDaniel all that
to say that Thompson looks like he could be a
gadget player. He is five to nine, a Bucks seventy
that's concerned. However, he has a serious role. He could
be a fantasy dynamo in terms of week winning upside,
four point two six speed. That is a blazer. The
question is, though, where's the room for him to actually
be featured with the locked in roles of Ladd and QJ,
the ascension of Trey Harris, who is receiving amazing reviews
so far in camp and can really be a do
it all type talent in terms of blocking and receiving.
And then there's even the tight end crowded room in
the Chargers led by around to Gadsden, not to mention
Arren Hampton Keta Michull are locked in for Volum as well.
So sure it's a great quote. It's a great situation
in terms of Thompson receiving these early reviews in camp.
But is it a reality check to decipher real life
rolevers fantasy? I think that's sort of the dilemma across roads.
I'm only to stash Brandon Thompson see what happens, but
he's not quite yet on the redraft radar. He's a
nice stash in Dynasty leagues. And then last but not least,
Eric add Junior Joe Earl set of Eric All. He
looks fit, fast, explosive, and he's going to play a
big role for us this year. If true, that could
be a cheat code in Dynasty in terms of tight
end depth and tight end premium leagues. Eric All, if
you don't remember, has dealt with multiple knee injuries that
have plagued him so far, yet he's clear for training camp.
And he's an athletic receiving tight end who can also
block inline and be lined up at fullback. So he's
far more versatile than the likes of Mike Aeseki, who's
more of a glorified wide receiver at tight end. And
then the average talents or journeyman of Tanner Hudson and
Drew Sample. All is a former fourth round pick out
of Iowa and that's tight end university. So I have
my eyeset on All being a possible breakout at tight end.
He's a value riser from training camp and we should
all be taking note accordingly and trying to Bilo in Dynasty.
If anyone is scared off by his injury history, that
will do it up. Be all enjoyed my Training Camp
