In short

Dynasty Week fantasy football mailbag focused on rookie sleepers, “age cliffs,” and dynasty startup/trade strategy, plus league news affecting fantasy ADP.

Guests/backgrounds

Hosted by Andy Holloway (absent/voice issue). Main voices are Jason Moore and Mike Wright (Fantasy Footballers). Also present: Jay Grizz (“Cardboard Bear Extraordinaire”) and Jeremy (mentioned). Mailbag includes listener questions from Canada and social media/website.

Key claims

  • Rookie sleeper: Nicholas Singleton (Titans, 5th round) due to 45 college rushing TDs, 100+ receptions, 220+ lbs goal-line profile; foot injury could drop him.
  • Other sleepers: Zachariah Branch (Falcons, 3rd) for Tyreek-like burst; Ted Hurst (Buccaneers, 3rd) as a deep TD “air apparent” after Mike Evans.
  • Injury/ADP: Malik Nabers cleanup procedure suggests pup/slow start; Bucky Irving not yet cleared to participate in contact.
  • Dynasty age cliffs: RB devalue around 27, WR around 29, TE later; QB varies by style.
  • Startup/contender strategy: prioritize young elite WRs early; old RBs/older QBs later; trade-block value depends on player tier.

Notable examples

  • Devon Achane Dolphins extension (4 years, $68M; 32M guaranteed).
  • Christian Watson trade-for candidate; Packers depth chart consolidating targets.
  • Trade debate: Christian McCaffrey for Travion Henderson depends on win-now vs rebuild.

1:22Mike Wright:Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your host, Andy Holloway. Jason Moore and Mike Wright.

1:39Andy Holloway:Ladies and gentlemen, welcome into the podcast. It's the Fantasy Footballers Podcast, if you're nasty. No Andy. Just me.

1:49Jason Moore:But Jason is also here, too. My best friend. Your best friend! Yeah, we're going to have a party today. It's a mailbag show. Oh, yeah. Yeah, and Brooks wants us to... The bear is here. Jay Grizz, Cardboard Bear Extraordinaire. The bear is here. Yeah, it should be a fun one. We're doing the... You know, this makes sense.

2:07Andy Holloway:It's a very... You know, you remember back in the... I mean, we had in the 80s and the 90s on today's very special episode of the Fantasy Football League.

2:18Jason Moore:But it makes sense that Andy wouldn't be here because this is Dynasty Week. Right. This is the Dynasty show. And, I mean, look, we've got – so, Foot Clan, if you are unaware, we have another podcast, the Fantasy Footballers Dynasty Show. It comes out every Wednesday, and that has me and Mike. I think we call it the Dynasty Podcast. Do we call it the Dynasty Show? I do. Obviously.

2:44Andy Holloway:Jeremy's shaking his head no. It's definitely the Dynasty Podcast. Okay, it's the Dynasty Podcast. Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Show.

2:52Jason Moore:Well, you know, you call it what you want. I call it what I want. But every Wednesday we release a new episode of the podcast show, Fantasy Footballer Dynasty edition. And Andy does not usually participate in that. That's Mike and I, Borg Betts. It's a great show. If you're listening to this, if you want more Dynasty content, make sure you download, subscribe, do all that jazz. Is that why he's the worst team in the league and we were in the playoffs

3:18Andy Holloway:and then I won?

3:19Jason Moore:Yeah, that's probably why. So goodies are not on today's episode, you know. Sorry about your voice He has lost his voice Which is pretty important for Podcast showing And But hopefully Back next week we've got a lot I'm Jay Grizz

3:40Mike Wright:I'm Jay Grizz Yes

3:43Andy Holloway:He is He is Jay Grizz the cardboard bear Like I said it's a special edition Of this edition of the podcast show

3:57Jason Moore:Welcome to Dynasty Week.

4:05Andy Holloway:Once a year around this time we have ourselves a good old-fashioned Dynasty Week. The theme of today's show will be Dynasty related and to help us celebrate it, we are giving away a signed James Cook, Jimmy Cook of the Buffalo Bills. I almost called him the Buffalo Bears because this bear is in my face. He's large.

4:27Jason Moore:He's a full grizzly.

4:29Andy Holloway:But if you want in on that, all you got to do is have pre-ordered the ultimate draft kit, the UDK Plus, be an ultimate to your Foot Clan supporter. You can do any of the above. You don't have to do all of that. No, no, no. You just pick one of those, and then not only are you securing the UDK for the lowest possible price. Which releases in about two weeks. In two weeks. Two weeks. something you're going to grab to help you out with the draft, you might win a signed James Cook jersey. That's a win-win-win.

4:59Jason Moore:James Dalvin Cook, a great running back. Man, he got real good. He really did.

5:07Andy Holloway:He got real good.

5:07Jason Moore:He went from a guy that was like, well, he was efficient with touchdowns, doesn't get a lot of volume, to just the dude. Oh, they were splitting it two ways. They're splitting it three ways. Now it's just like, man, he's too good. He's too good to give anyone else the ball there and led the league in rushing. So that makes sense.

5:26Andy Holloway:So check that out, ultimatedraftkit.com, or jointhefoot.com if you want to be one of the long-term supporters of the show. Today's quick question. Who is a later-round pick in rookie drafts not getting talked about enough?

5:41Jason Moore:I'll bring up Andy since he's not here and because you probably don't agree with it as much as myself and Andy do

5:49Andy Holloway:I totally agree that he is a sleeper I just you didn't love the film correct and that's fine nor did the Tennessee Titans

5:59Jason Moore:I mean they liked it enough they liked it enough to draft them but in the fifth round for what we're looking for your better argument there was nor did the NFL because all the teams let him drop to the fifth the Titans were the one that actually pulled the trigger Nicholas Singleton they were like eh they needed depth Tony Pollard is getting older Tajay Spears is a smaller kind of more niche back Nicholas Singleton in the fifth round this was a guy who was the number one recruit in the nation so he came into college as a very very highly touted high school athlete and then in college all he did was he had Had a four-year career at Penn State as the all-time leading touchdown scorer with 45 rushing touchdowns.

6:52Jason Moore:And I've brought this up on the Dynasty show, probably this show in the past. There is a weird correlation between fantasy football success in the NFL and for the running back position, rushing touchdowns in college. That is one of the stickier stats. not that rushing touchdowns necessarily are sticky, but that one has a high correlation to success in the NFL. You don't get much better than 45. Oh, and also he had over 100 receptions in college. That's an outrageously high number. So you're telling me that the two things that score fantasy points, he can catch the ball and he can score touchdowns.

7:28Jason Moore:He's 220-plus pounds, so he can be used in a goal-line situation. I don't feel like that's really Tony Pollard or Tajay Spears' specialty. So this is just someone, it's a sleeper, it's a fifth round NFL draft pick. We usually just look at them as wisps of smoke in the air and try to smell like, oh, this smells good. Is it a fire? Yeah, I don't know. Do I like this? Every now and then you can find a Bucky Irving day three pick. But Singleton is someone to keep your eye on, 220, six pounds. and he also keep in mind he injured his 226 pounds? Did I say that? I did say that.

8:13Andy Holloway:None of them are paying attention. They are checked out. You said 226 pounds. It's a newborn baby.

8:24Jason Moore:But at the Senior Bowl which is obviously after the collegiate season, he injured his foot. So if you want to talk about dropping in the draft of the fifth round, That could be a legit reason. He is dealing with an injury, so a team would have to sacrifice some of that time. I did like the prospect. Like, Catron Allen, his running mate there at Penn State, I prefer Nicholas Singleton from a fantasy football perspective.

8:49Andy Holloway:I didn't realize Singleton was going to get that long of a segment. Otherwise, I would have shut that whole thing down. Okay. Well, that's why I went. I'm going with Zachariah Branch. Zach Branch of the Atlanta Falcons. He's a third-round pick. Now, his production profile is one that we can be scared off of for fantasy football when everything is so manufactured for a kid in college. You're not running the true NFL route. The screen warrior. Yes. But there is an opportunity here, a third-round pick by the Falcons, also known as a day-two pick. He's athletically gifted. He's a bit undersized, but there's room for him.

9:36Andy Holloway:There is absolutely room. Room for him anywhere because he's so small. Yes, you can put him in a carry-on. But it's Drake London. Yes, and Kyle Pitts, we got the franchise tag, but Kyle Pitts is just such a weird player who sometimes shows up, sometimes doesn't. And Branch can easily earn himself essentially a full-time role here for the Atlanta Falcons, and maybe they're able to manufacture him touches as well. So for a third-round pick, being drafted late.

10:10Jason Moore:So usually when you're a screen warrior and usually when you're undersized, two big strikes against you where I don't like betting on those prospects, and I do think Zachariah Branch will fail. However, I love betting on him specifically because he is worth the reward if he succeeds. Most of these guys in today's – not today's – in 2026, the wide receiver draft class, I think a lot of them are going to be good NFL wide receivers, a lot of good depth pieces, but not make an impact on fantasy football. They're going to be their wide receiver two or three for their team. They're going to help move the chains and be important and not be someone you're starting in your lineup.

10:49Jason Moore:Zachariah Branch has a superpower where if it hits, you know, the Tyreek Hill whispers, I don't think I've seen another prospect who has the same burst as Tyreek Hill other than Branch. When he— 4-3-5. He's fast. It's not even the 4-3-5. Just the burst from stop to start is outrageous. Tyreek was obviously—he's a one-of-one. Yeah. And he's built far more than Branch to be able to take the NFL punishment. But I do think if Branch hits, it's going to be a higher ceiling than a lot of the other like round three, round four rookie picks. So I like that as a sleeper option. And then my sleeper option, I've personally drafted him everywhere.

11:40Jason Moore:I've put my stock. You are a big supporter. I'm a big supporter. Ted Hurst, wide receiver, drafted in the third round by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I like the film. The Brat Hurst? The Brat Hurst. We'll work on this. No. Sorry. Yeah, I don't know about that one. You know, the last two seasons, he led college football in 20-plus yard receptions. He is 6 '4", 206. He is a tall, field-stretching, air apparent. He is not Mike Evans. He's not a first-round NFL pick. He doesn't have the production profile of Mike Evans, but they're bringing him into that role. you know that Zach Robinson literally was just saying having a true x weapon in an in an offense is important speaking of Ted Hurst the draft pick they just lost Mike Evans so I think he does come in and maybe he splits time to start the season but it looks like Emeka Ibuka is going to be in the z role Chris Godwin is a slot player Ted Hurst has an opportunity as a day two pick who who I I really did like the film.

12:47Jason Moore:I think he's a good – he high points the ball well. He always gets open deep. He uses his speed very well, and I think he'll work. So Ted Hurst, I think that's a name people need to pay attention to because, again, just like Branch, what he does as a 6 '4 wide receiver who had a lot of fade-catch touchdowns over smaller DBs and did him very well. If he hits, he's going to be a touchdown machine in the NFL. He goes to a good quarterback in Baker who can throw touchdowns.

13:23Andy Holloway:He's interesting because the pre-draft process, so he went to Georgia State, a D1 school but a smaller conference. I was like, oh, boy, it's Hakeem Butler all over again. Yeah, we did like Hakeem Butler. Look at this 6 '4 guy's running 4 '4. And then the NFL's like, we don't want Hakeem Butler, but third round pick. Yeah, Butler fell to like the fifth, right? Yeah, fifth or sixth round. So the NFL got that right. So the NFL decided, at least the Bucs decided, that we're going to go in on Ted Hurston. Where he's being drafted, I think he is a solid pick.

14:03Jason Moore:One of the weirdest things this year is the absence of 1 ,000-yard receivers on all these highly touted collegiate prospects. That's always been a barometer for me. If your best season in college wasn't 1 ,000 yards, I have a really hard time thinking. But this year it's like all of them. I mean, Tyson had 1 ,000. Lemon had 1 ,000. Tate didn't, but Tate, he wasn't the one on his team. But then it's like all of the other day two picks, almost none of them got 1 ,000. At least Hurst, you know, goes over that bar. Right. Into the news.

14:39Andy Holloway:News and notes from around the league. Can you hit the money for me? Oh, yeah. Devon A. Chan. Holy smokes. I forgot we got a new one for the back wall, and I didn't want to hit the wrong one. Gotcha. All right.

14:56Jason Moore:All right.

14:56Andy Holloway:The money is flowing. Four years, 68 million buckaroonies. The extension for the Dolphins player, making him the NFL's third highest paid running back at 17 per year. 32 million guaranteed. Last year, 11 fantasy points every single game.

15:17Jason Moore:I mean, he is an awesome guy. Deserves every penny. 32 million guaranteed. How bad does Devon HN feel looking at Jeremiah Love, realizing Jeremiah Love got$21 million more in guaranteed money than this massive contract? Yeah.

Read the full transcript

15:35Andy Holloway:That kind of stinks, but also Gibbs is like. Oh, yeah. Gibbs is like.

15:41Jason Moore:Huh? He did what? Shmoney? Shmoney? Money, please. We got to get that dropped. Yes, we do. We got to cut that up.

15:51Andy Holloway:then there was a in in not fun news athletic we got from the athletic we got a report Malik neighbors underwent a cleanup procedure a couple weeks ago you know the for a lot of injury experts out there this was not shocking news we just you never like to hear that a guy who had ACL and meniscus surgery had to have a cleanup to get rid of some scar tissue we want Malik neighbors as healthy as possible long-term, but it feels like he may not be ready to start the year. A pup candidate. Maybe it's just a couple weeks. Maybe it's the pup. I mean, it just depends on your perspective. This was great news for me.

16:33Jason Moore:This was great news for me.

16:35Andy Holloway:You made a trade. You made a trade last year for, like you traded away the 2026 season in League of Record. the 20 yes correct the upcoming season you have already traded that i'm out i am out i am out

16:55Jason Moore:i me and my co-manager schneider reef we have been saying for the last year for the last year we're the future future champ yeah yeah okay so i'm out on 2026 and um you idiot no this is ridiculous you did the same thing two years ago got last before the season started you got last place because you sold and played for the future. Yes, about half year through the year. I'm out in front of you, Mike. I'm out in front. I went after it hard last year. Josh Jacobs went down for me, and then Daniel Jones went down, which hurt Jonathan Taylor. You won the championship, but I didn't. But because of that, I have very little draft capital.

17:33Jason Moore:So coming into this year, I just made a one-for-one trade. I traded away CeeDee Lamb for Malik Neighbors. It's perfect, and I hope Neighbors starts on the pup. I don't want to win this year. I want him to get healthy, start slow, and I guess for everybody out there that is not just selfishly thinking of their own team, he probably starts on the pup. That's my current expectation. Dr. Chow, longtime team doctor of the San Diego Chargers, he was saying months ago when the crutch was coming out for neighbors, it was a sign that it was a different type of procedure. because we knew it was a meniscus as well as the ACL.

18:13Jason Moore:And so to him, it was a different sign of the type of procedure, which is not a bad thing. It doesn't hurt long-term recovery, but it does indicate it's going to be a longer process for short-term recovery. So he expects him to not start the season week one. And so I guess I would just tell people this is a bi candidate the whole season. he's going to start in the pup he's going to start slow he he probably will not be full strength until late in the 2026 season maybe he can help people win championships sure buy him mid-season um but it you know don't be afraid of oh my gosh this is going to be some devastating career ending injury because we were told he's going to be ready for week one and now he's not that's i don't i don't think that was correct information from the get-go but his

19:08Andy Holloway:we'll have to monitor and be careful with the ADP knowing what you're getting yourself into.

19:13Jason Moore:For sure. Where he's going right now in ADP is too high. I expect if we get closer to the season, it looks like he's going to start on the pup. People won't be drafting him as like the sixth wide receiver or whatever because you're going to miss a month and then he's going to come back and not be full candidate. But yeah, I mean, obviously he's still a super talented guy.

19:34Andy Holloway:The Pewter Report. they're reporting that Bucky Irving has not been cleared to participate yet as in he's not participating in like getting hit or team stuff so Betts our injury guy we had the note I'm going to do my best he had a shoulder

19:55Jason Moore:you got this

19:57Andy Holloway:he had a shoulder subluxation that's exactly right

20:01Jason Moore:is it?

20:02Andy Holloway:yes that's correct alright I mean The computer says so Also known as a partial dislocation Just say that right Freaking scientists, doctors and nerds All they know is big words You're like well what's that? Oh it's a partial dislocation Now to be fair dislocation is kind of a big word Well it's a medium word I can handle the mediums

20:25Jason Moore:The mediums are okay

20:28Andy Holloway:So Beth believes there should be no issues To be cleared before the start of the season He had a recent surgery It just keeps compounding on itself for Bucky.

20:37Jason Moore:It wasn't. Yeah, because a lot of it, all the worries of Bucky was like the mental health, the rumors, you know, of like maybe he wasn't really doing well. And part of that was I think that he was having mental issues with the physical injuries. But the timeline of this specific surgery should not get in the way of the start of the season. But in the meantime.

21:01Andy Holloway:Keep Kenny Gainwell. Kenneth Gainwell is there coming off a sensational season with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Bucs prioritized him. I will be drafting. Kenneth Gainwell will be a late-round target for me. I get that. Panthers general manager Dan Morgan said the team will, quote, keep talking through a potential extension for Bryce Young. the situation of Bryce Young and C.J. Stroud is very difficult.

21:33Jason Moore:Bryce Young is impossibly difficult because like C.J. Stroud's been disappointing we talked about that yesterday on the footcast the four interception dropping in the playoffs Bryce Young hasn't really done much good at all his team was in the playoffs

21:54Andy Holloway:but you know it's just it's been it's been very lackluster of you know 2025 his best year

22:03Jason Moore:he narrowly surpassed 3 000 passing yards he had three games all year where he threw for more than

22:11Andy Holloway:205 yes they did matt wants they did play the rams tough in the playoffs because their defensive running game is good. That's what I mean of the team is not being carried by Bryce Young. And the same for the Houston Texas last year. CJ Stroud was not the identity of the team. The identity was the defense. It's not that they are catastrophically bad quarterbacks, but when you have guys like this, you have to make a decision. And do you get in where the Giants were with Daniel Jones? where you're like, I guess we have to pay him, but we know it's probably not the right idea. But if you let him go, having him on the team is better than not.

22:58Jason Moore:Right. You're going to take a step back if you lose Bryce Young or CJ – well, maybe not CJ Straub, but solely because they have a backup that looked just as good. Oh, no. Oh, no. General Mills, man. He came in and looked better. But, yeah, if you're a Panthers fan, you don't want a long-term contract for Bryce Young.

23:16Andy Holloway:I wonder what the fans think.

23:18Jason Moore:I mean, I know I wouldn't want that. I don't believe he's capable of winning a Super Bowl. And isn't that – I mean, that's always the philosophical question of would you rather have a Kirk Cousins be competitive every year for years? You've got a good offense. You've got a good team. You've got hope. You're getting in the playoffs all the time. Like, not current Kirk Cousins. Right. But you kind of know, like, you're not winning a Super Bowl with Kirk Cousins. I mean, as a Cardinals fan, I would kill for Kirk Cousins years. But I don't even know if Bryce Young's at that level.

23:55Andy Holloway:The Jets signed Fireball Jones, a.k.a. Tim Patrick. That's only in here because we stand for Tim Patrick forever. The NFL schedule. Apparently this is in our news. Oh, this is cool.

24:07Jason Moore:Yeah.

24:08Andy Holloway:It's in our news for a reason. um the season will begin with a super bowl rematch between the the patriots and the seahawks neat in seattle on wednesday night is that because the i thought the australia game was going to be wednesday night i think the australia is the thursday oh well uh football's on the way

24:28Jason Moore:and there's going to be a lot of it chiefs broncos the first monday night but the big the big news to me thanksgiving clear your schedule yeah i mean it's kind of absurd they've got a thanksgiving eve game they've got a black friday game now but to me the only thing that matters is thanksgiving day football is going to be so freaking awesome yeah barring quarterback injuries or whatever every year there's a game or two and in years past when the cowboys stunk and the Lions stunk. I felt like Thanksgiving football was just bad game, bad game, and then they'd have a decent game. This is Bears-Lions, awesome.

25:09Jason Moore:Eagles-Cowboys, awesome. And then you in the night with Chiefs-Bills?

Football's on ESPN.

27:32Andy Holloway:Oh, so we're just right into the mailbag? Is that what we're doing? That is correct. All right. Dynasty mailbag.

27:40Andy Holloway:Mailbag.

27:43Jason Moore:Dynasty edition.

27:45Andy Holloway:All right. Oh, and we have a voice. Guys, I think this is the first Dynasty Week show I've ever hosted. For sure. And I'm just not on my game. I was not prepared for this. But we do have a voicemail.

27:58Mike Wright:Hey, Ballers, calling in from my community home in Canada. Bonjour. Joining a startup of Dynasty this year. Any tips? Draft tips? General tips? Anything would be great.

28:11Jason Moore:Thank you. Yeah.

28:13Andy Holloway:So, Jason mentioned our Dynasty pod show. Comes out every Wednesday with Jason, myself, or one of us, usually one of us, and then Kyle the Borgogan and Matthew Betts. That goes year long. There's always tons of tips on there. We had, or this week, we did our top 10 Dynasty startup questions. So that would be a great place for you to start. Essentially, the real basic of the basic is you're going to want to build your foundation of young elite wide receivers over running backs just because of the shelf life. Not that elite running backs aren't important. They definitely are. It can really help you in a championship.

29:03Andy Holloway:and then don't really don't overvalue the youth completely where your team is just like hey in three years my team is going to be if you if you start any dynasty team with a thought of in two to three years this team this team right here that's not going to work i whenever i see teams draft that way they're always three years away um do you have any quick tips other than that jay

29:28Jason Moore:My quick tips are essentially those first four rounds focused on wide receivers over the running backs. You kind of alluded to that, but you've got the guys like James Cook. We just talked about how good he is. He's so good. He's almost 27. He's older than you think. Christian McCaffrey, you're going to win a championship with him. But when you're doing a start-up draft, by the end, maybe you know, oh, I'm a contender. But you don't know when you're in the first round, the second round, the third, fourth round. Maybe the way that the draft comes to you, you build a more youthful team. Maybe you are a contender, but you don't know.

30:00Jason Moore:And so since you don't know, I want to build a foundation. I don't want, you know, where Christian McCaffrey is going to get drafted in a startup draft, there's probably going to be a young, proven wide receiver that I can get, you know, better value. Then later in the draft, that's where I go for the old men. I love getting the, you know, no one in a dynasty startup draft is drafting Matthew Stafford. I mean, he's just dead.

30:29Andy Holloway:Yeah, especially the old court, like Stafford and Dak. Yeah. Quarterbacks who probably have a few more years of really high value for fantasy football. But people in start of dynasty drafts want the young quarterbacks. And so just pay attention to them. So if you're feeling, oh, man, I'm a little thin here at quarterback, take a pause. Take a breath because those guys will be there for you later. Even though it's not a sexy pick, but it's a good pick. All right, this one's off of Instagram. Rick Deeks. Is Christian Watson a trade-for candidate in full PPR? Oh, yeah. Yeah, I mean, I don't think his value currently sits.

31:18Andy Holloway:He is 27, which is, I can't believe Watson's been in the league that long.

31:24Jason Moore:Oh, that's because he hasn't played as many games as you would think for a guy that age. That's true. What's his contract right now? Do you know it off the top of your head?

31:35Andy Holloway:He's in the final year of the contract. Remember, they had given him the injury contract. Yes. He tore the ACL, or I think it was ACL, and they kind of gave him the contract to say, no, you're secure here. We want secure here. But Christian Watson is... Yeah, it looks like he's got a couple void years on his contract after this one. I think he'll get an extension. I do too. I am, as of right now, where everything is going, shaking out with the market, what I think of teams, Christian Watson is a glaring value to me right now.

32:08Jason Moore:I think that there are some rookies this year. If you're assuming your rookie draft is over, like if I could trade any second round rookie pick this year for Christian Watson, I would do that. But if your rookie draft is over, look at who you drafted at the back of the first, the early second. And I think that those players in this year's draft have the hope, the potential out there. They probably won't hit what Christian Watson can do. And just a reminder, if you're just catching up, the Green Bay Packers no longer have Romeo Dobbs.

32:47Andy Holloway:He is on the Patriots. They traded Dontavia and Wicks, the hope and the promise every year of Wicks being a breakout. So he's on the Eagles now. And Tucker Craft. And Tucker Craft is returning from his own injury. I think the targets are going to get consolidated here. It's Green Bay where they've been doing these things of playing a lot of wide receivers. Sometimes you feel like, why is this guy getting snaps? but that's been their method. They can't now. The current depth chart to me says it's going to be Watson. What is the problem with Jaden Reed? What is the problem with Jaden Reed for fantasy?

33:27Andy Holloway:He is only on the field for three wide receiver snaps.

33:30Jason Moore:That's right. And so they play a lot of two wide receiver snaps. So now Christian Watson and who else? Matthew Golden. So you're telling me Christian Watson just has to compete with Matthew Golden for targets on a lot of snaps? Easy bet.

33:46Andy Holloway:easy bet sometimes it's just too easy uh we got a trade block question off of x from hawks fan what's your stance on placing a player in the trade block does their does that hurt their perceived value by letting the whole league know they're available or do you find it worth it to

34:04Jason Moore:make sure that all potential bidders know i'm this is a good question that i have as well because Because I don't have the answer. When I put a player on the trade block, what I feel like has happened is everyone just goes, oh, you're giving this guy away? How about my garbage? You want my garbage? That's what I experience. But on the other side, I do see moments where someone puts someone on the trade block. And then the next day, that player has found a new home. And I'm like, oh, so it can work. And I guess from, this is anecdotal, absolutely no evidence here, but I think it's just what tier of player is it.

34:45Jason Moore:If you put a high tier player on the trade block, you get good offers. Yes. Like you are announcing, at that point you're announcing, hey, I am willing to hear offers on Jamar Chase. Which people aren't just going out there and making offers on some of the best players because they just assume it's not possible. but you know if if there's news you know I I've seen it where it's like bad news comes out on a middle tier player and so then that player goes on the trade block you think we all don't know the news yeah you're gonna get a fast one over on us everyone in the league has the notifications like those things just hurt a player's value yeah the I agree with

35:32Andy Holloway:that i i think the trade block is good do you use it uh yeah i do i do i you know i if i have a pull that you know i'm trying to make some moves i'll put a guy on the block i would say though i have had experiences with people you know like a one manager where it's like okay a player keeps getting players keep getting put on the block and then you like reach out oh let's have a conversation and it turns into like the boy who cried wolf situation where like you're you don't actually want to trade this guy you're you're wanting me to come in and overpay for this players like that's not that's not how this works so then it that creates a situation where i don't i don't even want to talk to this manager or like because i know we're not getting anything worked

36:21Jason Moore:out so yeah just avoid that so jeremy just said you can always reject low ball offers and he trade negotiations are better than no trade negotiations. And while that part is true, what you're experiencing, I've definitely been there. I have 100 % been to the place where I don't, I just stopped working with certain managers because I feel like we can't get a job done. So if you, you know, you've got to be responsible on both sides. Agreed.

36:52Andy Holloway:Instagram from Lucky Kyle, trade Christian McAfee, McCaffrey. Christian McCaffrey for Travion Henderson. Straight up.

37:02Jason Moore:Oh, man. Oh, baby.

37:05Andy Holloway:Context for this one really, really matters. McCaffrey, though he is my dude, he is a human being. We don't know how long he will be elite for in the NFL. I think we're all still projecting a healthy McCaffrey on the 49ers this year will be awesome for fantasy football how long does he have and then the conversation about henderson like i am in a trickier spot now i brought him up on uh this week's dynasty podcast that we were looking at all the the year two running backs of like these were the chosen ones last year we all knew and and there's greatness there but when you look at all now all the situations going into year two is like, oh, man.

37:56Andy Holloway:Something's got to break right. You are the most man crush on Travion Henderson. Henderson on the field, I thought was, I thought he should have been the first one pick. He had his breakout with the Patriots. That's where this is so difficult for me because he had the breakout, and then Ramondre came back, and they went right back to Ramondre. Yeah. Instead of doing the appropriate thing of, hey, our young second-round running back is who we thought he was. It's time to flip this up. And then we're like, nope, we're going to make a Super Bowl run here, and we want Ramondre to be the leader of the timeshare.

38:35Jason Moore:There's two things with this. One that is bad is Ramondre still has a lot of money and years. I believe he has at least two years left on his deal. So from a dynasty perspective, that can hurt Hindo. But on a positive side, they went back to Ramondre, and they did that in the playoffs when things really mattered. And I think a lot of that, if you look at Vrabel—

39:00Andy Holloway:And Ramondre was fumbling again last year.

39:01Jason Moore:But pass protection and some of the veteran things that matter, I think, mattered to them. Coming into year two, Henderson should get better as a running back, better as an athlete. He's coming into his prime. He will have more trust, more knowledge of the system. I do expect him to – I have Henderson significantly ahead of Ramondre this year in redraft. So it's funny. When I was talking about the startup tips, I had been looking at where Christian McCaffrey was going in just consensus startup drafts right now. And he's right in a four-pack of different positions. You have Jordan Tyson, Tyler Warren, Christian McCaffrey, and Travion Henderson.

39:48Jason Moore:Oh, man. So it's like those four. And if you said this right, because this was a trade question. Yes. The context of your team matters. What is your window? Because championship teams should be trying to trade for Christian McCaffrey. Yes. Put yourself over the top. Get the trophy. If I'm in a startup draft, Christian McCaffrey I would take after all those players. If I'm building a foundation of a team for the future, I would rather have Jordan Tyson, Tyler Warren, and Travion Henderson. Yeah. Yeah.

40:23Andy Holloway:All right. Age cliffs. This is off of YouTube. What age do you begin devaluing a player, and how does that age differ per position?

40:36Jason Moore:So there's a couple things here. I think it differs between position internally within the position. So not every quarterback plays the same style of game. If you rely on the running game, it's usually an earlier age cliff than like a Matthew Stafford and Aaron Rodgers, a Dak Prescott that can go a little bit deeper into their career. I know, Mike, you used to have some good – this is several years ago, but you saw the end coming for Cam Newton before that was popular. So when you're looking at that with Jalen Hurts, Jalen Hurts' age cliff is going to be a little bit earlier than what it will be for Dak Prescott.

41:22Jason Moore:Lamar was scary. His passing has gotten so much better. Like Josh Allen is less scary because he can also throw for 4 ,500 and 40. just from the pocket.

41:32Andy Holloway:When that switch happens for Allen, he will be fine. Yeah. And I'm getting to the point where when the switch happens for Lamar, I think he's going to be okay too. I think he will remain athletic and fast enough that maybe we're not getting all the rushing yards we want out of him, but it's going to help him stay not getting hit in the pocket and things like that. So we do have an article we'll point out in the Dynasty Pass. One of our writers, Big Marv, it's an excellent article that we go back and we refresh and look at things. But I'll give you – so essentially for a running back, 27 is the age where they're still going to be – they can still be great.

42:24Andy Holloway:The cell window opens. But if you're trying to not hold the bag, you got to get out. Wide receivers, it's around 29. And then tight ends is, you know, like that. Tight ends are strange.

42:39Jason Moore:Almost every position peaks starting about 25. And then if you want, like, the death year where it's like, congratulations, you have the bag. And, of course, there are your Tom Brady's and your Derek Henry's, but that's not normal. No. It's 34 at quarterback, 30 at running back, 31 at wide receiver, and 32 at tight end.

42:58Andy Holloway:Got a next question from itsami mario2912. Would you trade Bijan for Hampton and a first, or would you try to get more?

43:10Jason Moore:Bijan for Hampton and a first? I would, ooh. I think I would do that because 2027 is a loaded draft. Hampton and Bijon. Oh, man, I'd keep Bijon. Yeah, I mean, obviously, Bijon is outstanding. We didn't get the opportunity to see what Hampton could be, so it's a bit of a projection. It's basically, put it this way, I think 2027 first-round picks are going to be real. Yes. foundational pieces for a team. If Hampton is the running back, say, six, I think everyone would take this deal. You would prefer to have the running back six and a foundational wide receiver for Bijon.

44:01Andy Holloway:If I knew how Hampton was going to do this year.

44:03Jason Moore:But if Hampton is, I'm just saying, if you think, what is the number where you would say, okay, a foundational piece and the running back eight, would you do that? The running back 12, would you do that? the running back 15 would you so at some point there's where you you've got to say what do i

44:19Andy Holloway:believe hampton is going to be who has hampton in dino senior i do not know but you have bijon would you send that would you be willing to do that offer right now oh that's that's that really

44:34Jason Moore:puts it to the yeah it feels i don't think you would do it feels like a no immediately it felt I know because Bijan is my beautiful. Yes. Wow. Who has him? I'm curious because. Goldie does. Goldie. Okay. Goldie's team sucks, right? He's a rebuild, yeah. That's tempting. Yeah, I would do that. Oh, man. Oh, my gosh. Would I do that? Oh, my gosh. That's a great. Here's the thing, though. Wait. Goldie's trash trash, right? Yeah. Oh, dude. I got to make that offer. Oh, but can I do it?

45:05Andy Holloway:You can look at it. Because running back where Bijan can be as the running back one versus the running back six, you know, it's the, the, the top three running backs every year are they, they lap the field of the running back six. The running back six is inconsequential compared to whoever the number one or number two guy is on a usual year for fantasy football. So that's why I'm still on the, the Bijan side. And I, you know, I want 20, 27 firsts. I think the, the the dynasty world is awake to those like maybe there's some stragglers who aren't hearing all the buzz about that trade would be accepted right if I make that maybe maybe this is spicy I don't know if he has his true

45:55Jason Moore:first what I'm looking for right now

45:57Andy Holloway:alright well now that you're really distracted yeah this is a question from the website wrap this show up we got work to do From Jeff. My name is Jeff. In Buttonwillow. Oh, bonjour.

46:10Jason Moore:That's not in America. Buttonwillow? Buttonwillow, California. I hope that's two words, not three. You know what I mean? It's one word, Jason. Oh, all right.

46:22Andy Holloway:Even better. I have the 102 in a Dynasty rookie draft. I am RB Needy. This is a price. Do I take price and pass one of the top wide receivers? well if Andy were here he would say yes yes it but Andy is not here so I will say no this is you got to personally say do you believe in Jadarian Price did he say he's like in a he's

46:47Jason Moore:a contender I mean if he's weak at running back he's probably not a contender all we know is the 102 and an RB needy team no no if you're an RB needy team I don't think Price gives you a championship like he's not gonna if you're rb needy i don't think he pushes you over the top and if you're not getting pushed over the top take the best player and i think you've got whether tyson or tate those guys just seem significantly better to me and it's and it's to you one of the tips andy kept saying on our there's a recent maybe maybe the last episode it's like don't just go by consensus we what we do here is we give you our opinion we give you how to think about it, and we try to entertain you.

47:28Jason Moore:We try to be accurate, all those things. But don't just listen to us. Go watch Jadarian Price. See what you think. Look at his film. Be like, man, I love this guy. This guy's awesome. Or I don't like what I see. I mean, make your own opinion. But in my opinion, I would take the wide receivers.

47:47Andy Holloway:It's difficult for me. I don't blame anyone. If you're at the 102, and I will say almost everyone in Dynasty needs a running back. We all need them. But if you're like, no, I'm down bad. I have to get someone. I'm okay with it. But my evaluation is that Tate and or Tyson or, you know, I think one of them, if not both, will turn into not the Jamar tier, but that tier right underneath. I think both of those guys could hit that. And the fact that they are with You know, the young quarterbacks. I'm in enough on Cam Ward to be like, yeah, he looks like he could be in a franchise guy. I'm super in on Shuck already.

48:36Andy Holloway:And the fact that, you know, like Kellen Moore and Shuck, I think it's going to be fantastic. Dable will help for Cam Ward. So just where I think that those wide receivers are headed, I couldn't do that for someone who I think splits time. I think he becomes a Kenneth Walker type. I don't – Charbs will be – Charbs is banged up, you know, late season knee injury, but he will be back. And when he's back, they're going to use him. For sure. For sure they are. And it was so frustrating to have Walker on your team and see greatness happen and then like, put Charbs in. Why are we doing this? and so if they three down price then anyone who didn't take him at 102 is going to feel bad so it's you got to make all those evaluations uh new question well um hold on

50:45Andy Holloway:You have a new question, Jason.

50:47Jason Moore:Yeah, so next year you got some stars of stars in like Jeremiah Smith.

50:54Andy Holloway:Yeah, the high-end wide receivers next year are going to be spicy.

51:02Jason Moore:Yeah, and a running back or two. So you're going to have some top-end heavy town.

51:06Andy Holloway:I need Williams to turn it around.

51:07Jason Moore:Get back on track. Bijan for 2027 first and Hampton, where you get a chance at maybe Jeremiah Smith.

51:20Andy Holloway:If you felt like you had a good chance at Jeremiah Smith plus Hampton for Bijan, then yes. Or a guaranteed Carnell Tate and Omari and Hampton.

51:35Jason Moore:Oh, interesting. For Bijon, which would you prefer? Oh, man. Carnell Tate is, you know, in most drafts right now, I think he's the 102. He's the 102 or 103 for most, yes. The number one wide receiver taken in this year. Oh, man.

51:54Jason Moore:Because the guy has both of those. I'm looking at his team. I'm like, man, would I rather just have the short thing, you know, The 102 pick in Tate or the chance for the 101 next year?

52:07Andy Holloway:That's a gambling man right there. That's a gambling man. All right. Off of IG. Emilio Onya. Dak or Mahomes for a contender? Oh, my gosh. We have to ask this question? This is. Our beloved, our golden child, Patrick Mahomes,

52:30Jason Moore:what have you done to our boy i know what have you done um i i'm i'm still look at my boy i'm still on the patrick mahomes side and i have him ranked significantly lower than dac in redraft right now um you know coming off of the injury i think he gets off to a slower start runs less and he was running a ton this year which was helping him for fantasy you have a like three and a half year age gap here but you also have a talent gap like Dak is very good Dak is not Mahomes I think if you tell me Dak starts fading away at 34, 35

53:14Andy Holloway:Dak right now will he'll be 33 soon and then Mahomes will turn 31 this year yeah hey Kyle how many years in a row has Dak outscored Patrick Mahomes in fantasy football

53:24Jason Moore:oh my gosh

53:26Andy Holloway:is it three gosh are you gonna i don't know i've had that this is not a gotcha it's probably this

53:31Jason Moore:is a real question i can tell you uh kyle look up dac the last three years from the homes he's been the quarterback eight eleven and eleven however this last year he was oh he was he was great he was on fire he finishes 11 because he he didn't finish the season on a per game basis though he

53:49Andy Holloway:had to have been outscoring dac oh man all right kyle you looked that up we'll come back to it off of the website Shane in Seattle uh let's see so oh we got it Dak had the injured year yeah in 24 so two of the last three but not really because this last year on a per game basis

54:11Jason Moore:on a per game basis Mahomes was outscoring him the last two years yeah he was oh I hate that I would I hate that we even have to ask that question if you look at like who has the chance to be the quarterback one over the next five years you know I brought this up with um five is long let's let's run that three no but the reason I say five is I I've brought this up with Mahomes in the past like I don't love his weapons right now Kelsey's getting older they didn't really go out and get a new guy in the draft you look at Tom Brady an all-time go a guy that's going to go down as first ballot blind Hall of Fame type of quarterback in Mahomes.

54:56Jason Moore:Tom Brady wasn't always great for fantasy. He was always fine. But then he would have his years where he won you championships. And I think that's still in the cards for Mahomes. Mahomes might play to 40 and end up having an overall quarterback one. I don't think Dak has, you know, Dak could be the quarterback five this year and the quarterback five next year and then get and then start fading into oblivion I you know that's kind of my outlook so from a dynasty perspective I would still prefer

55:27Andy Holloway:I think Dak can be QB1 this year you give an actual full year of both CD and George are healthy I mean it's they did improve their defense I think significantly yeah sadly they're still They're going to air it out with those two guys. Let's see. From the website, Shane in Seattle, I was offered Tedaroa McMillan for Drake London. I love both of these guys. I would much rather have Drake London. Okay. We had some discussions about McMillan. I wasn't sure if you had moved TMAC over London or not.

56:03Jason Moore:No, I haven't. Drake London's so good. Their age is a year apart. This isn't, you know, it's not the widest gap. I think, you know, what we saw with Drake London, with Pennix, when Pennix was playing, and we don't know that Pennix is even going to be the quarterback, but presumably he's still there. So if he's not the quarterback, it's because they think it's an upgraded option. What we saw with Drake London, with Pennix, was outstanding for fantasy. Bryce Young has to level up. Yes, he does. As I said, he narrowly threw 3 ,000 yards. Yes, Bryce Young, the idea that he's going to throw 4 ,000 yards seems like a really bad bet.

56:52Jason Moore:I mean, maybe, but that would take a complete level up for him. And so, therefore, Ted Rowe McMillan, who is awesome, I think has a harder path to be a top five fantasy wide receiver.

57:07Andy Holloway:Drake London, he will be getting the bag very, very soon. Yeah. Oh, so he will be in his year five? Yeah, it's coming. He's in the fifth year option, so he'll get it this year. The bag is on the way for Drake London. All right, last question here. I think this is a very fun one off of Twitter from Dave. Trade away Brian Thomas Jr. for Luther Burden. Oh, man. The guy who has done it and then was terrible for the guy who was very slow and then had moments where you're like, that dude is the guy.

57:48Jason Moore:They share a lot in common in the sense that we've seen both guys be incredible on the field. I also think that the biggest problem for both players is target competition. Right. Like, you know, you've got a lot of mouths to feed in both places, But, man, Luther Burden's film was so fun to watch.

58:15Jason Moore:This is a hard one. I believe right now, and this is not saying Luther Burden is bad, I just think he is being overvalued. Could be. It is a projection. The bet is so heavy on a yes right now for him. like where he's being drafted is so heavy on the yes side that I think it's probably not the same odds that he does hit. And the exact opposite is true for Brian Thomas. He's being drafted so low that he's dead. And I think those are two over-exaggerated I would take Brian Thomas, June. But I'm very curious of your answer. I think I'm taking Burden. Yeah, that's why this is such a good and difficult question.
