How Much Dynasty Value Should Contenders Sacrifice? Winning a dynasty championship sometimes requires making a trade that looks uncomfortable on paper. Garret Price and Rich Dotson put themselves in the shoes of contenders and decide how much young dynasty value they would sacrifice for proven production right now. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube The first debate centers on Omar Cooper Jr. and A.J. Brown. Cooper has flashed exciting long-term upside, but Brown offers the type of established production a contender may trust more in a championship lineup. The decision gets even tougher with Jeremiah Love. Would a contender really move one of dynasty's most exciting young running backs for Jonathan Taylor? Both hosts ultimately acknowledge that Taylor's immediate scoring advantage could justify the uncomfortable move. At quarterback, Fernando Mendoza versus C.J. Stroud is much easier. Stroud's recent improvement and established NFL production make him the preferred option for a…

Are Dynasty Managers Overvaluing Youth? Youth and draft capital drive dynasty value, but eventually your roster has to score points. Garret Price and Rich Dotson examine whether dynasty managers are becoming too obsessed with long-term upside while ignoring proven veterans who can actually win championships. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Jared Goff continues to outperform his dynasty price and represents exactly the type of veteran quarterback contenders can exploit. The same argument becomes even stronger at running back. Christian McCaffrey, DeAndre Swift, and other established veterans raise an uncomfortable question: how much future upside should managers sacrifice for production they already know exists? At receiver and tight end, proven veterans can offer similar opportunities. Players like Mike Evans and Dallas Goedert may not carry exciting long-term valuations, but a few seasons of championship-level production can make them better investments than waiting on younger…

2026 Dynasty Rookies Changing Our Minds Three weeks into the season, some members of the 2026 rookie class already look very different than they did during draft season. Garret Price and Andrew Mott revisit the prospects who have forced them to adjust their evaluations, for better or worse. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Caleb Douglas has already earned a significant role in Miami after entering the league as a player Andrew was skeptical of. Kaelon Black has similarly moved up after establishing himself as Christian McCaffrey's clear backup in San Francisco. Garret has also become more encouraged by Emmett Johnson, whose receiving ability and elusiveness have translated better than expected. Even without playing yet, Fernando Mendoza benefits from how promising the Raiders offense has looked under Clint Kubiak.

Dynasty Risers and Fallers After Week 6 Another week has created major movement across the dynasty market. Garret Price, Rich Dotson, and Peter Bartausky break down the biggest risers and fallers after Week 6, including several young receivers forcing their way up the rankings. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Matthew Golden headlines the risers after another strong performance convinced all three hosts that his breakout is no longer a small sample. His dynasty ranking is climbing quickly as he continues producing in Green Bay's pass-heavy offense. Omar Cooper Jr. offers another intriguing ceiling after flashing the same playmaking ability that made him exciting as a prospect. Meanwhile, Germie Bernard delivered a massive PPR performance, although the guys debate whether his current production creates a better selling opportunity than long-term breakout signal. Josh Downs continues receiving opportunities without turning them into consistent fantasy production, while Sam Darnold…

Dynasty Value Check: What Are We Doing With These Stars? Some dynasty players are easy to value. Others sit right in the uncomfortable middle where buying, selling, or holding can all make sense. Garret Price and Andrew Mott work through five major names that dynasty managers need to make decisions on right now. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Ashton Jeanty remains one of dynasty's top young running backs, but his week-to-week ceiling has not matched the elite tier above him. Christian Watson is producing like a fantasy WR1, but touchdown regression and Green Bay's changing target distribution make his long-term value harder to pin down. The biggest quarterback debate centers on Jayden Daniels. His rushing ceiling remains elite, but injuries, inconsistent passing production, and uncertainty in Washington have created more risk than expected. Drake London has looked like a star again with Michael Penix Jr. under center, while Chase Brown remains an intriguing buy for contenders…

Dynasty Buy Low or No Go: Which Struggling Stars Are Worth It? Not every disappointing start creates a dynasty buying opportunity. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price play Buy Low or No Go, deciding which struggling players are worth targeting and which declining values might have even further to fall. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Bo Nix has struggled, but his previous production keeps the door open for a rebound. Colston Loveland has also disappointed, although the guys question whether his dynasty managers are actually willing to sell low enough to create a true discount. The outlook gets murkier with Daniel Jones and Jaylen Waddle, where price matters considerably more than name value. Then there is Justin Jefferson. He remains one of dynasty's biggest names, but injuries, uncertainty in Minnesota, and a changing receiver landscape make his value much more complicated than it once was. The guys finish by adjusting their dynasty boards. C.J. Stroud is climbing after…

Dynasty Running Back Values Are Getting Complicated The dynasty running back landscape is getting uncomfortable. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price break down a surprisingly thin group of young backs while also reacting to the massive Marvin Harrison Jr. trade to Houston. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube A fresh start alongside C.J. Stroud creates an intriguing new opportunity for Harrison. The talent that made him an elite prospect has not disappeared, but determining the right price remains difficult. Is this the moment to buy the dip, or should managers use the excitement surrounding the trade to finally move on? Beyond Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs, finding young running backs who combine security, production, and long-term upside is becoming difficult. The guys work through names like Ashton Jeanty, Jeremiah Love, Breece Hall, Bucky Irving, Omarion Hampton, Quinshon Judkins, TreVeyon Henderson, and Bhayshul Tuten to determine who can actually be trusted. That…

When should you trade your future rookie picks for proven dynasty players? The Dynasty Nerds put some of the toughest contender and rebuild decisions to the test, debating whether they'd rather have coveted 2027 draft capital or players who can help fantasy teams right now. Would you trade a 2027 first for Cam Skattebo? Is it time for rebuilding teams to move on from Saquon Barkley? Should a contender pay up for Tyler Warren or Garrett Wilson? And has Denzel Boston already become more valuable than a 2027 first? Rich Dotson, Garret Price and Matt O'Hara break down each scenario before diving into Josh Downs and asking whether Rome Odunze, Drake Maye, Brian Thomas Jr. and Quinshon Judkins are officially back.

Garret Price and Andrew Mott go position by position through the 2027 class, placing the top prospects into tiers based on what we’ve seen so far this college football season.

Kaelon Black has similarly moved up after establishing himself as Christian McCaffrey's clear backup in San Francisco. Garret has also become more encouraged by Emmett Johnson, whose receiving ability and elusiveness have translated better than expected. Even without playing yet, Fernando Mendoza benefits from how promising the Raiders offense has looked under Clint Kubiak. The start has been much rougher for Elijah Sarratt, who has struggled to even crack Baltimore's active lineup. Makai Lemon is also creating concern. The Eagles are…

Fantasy Football Boom, Bench or Bust? The first few weeks have changed how several major fantasy assets look for the rest of the season. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price play Boom, Bench, Bust with similarly valued quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends before adjusting their dynasty rankings. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Tyler Shough continues forcing his way into the fantasy conversation, while Parker Washington has established himself as one of the biggest early-season surprises. The debates get tougher at running back and tight end, where TreVeyon Henderson, Kyren Williams, Dalton Kincaid, and Harold Fannin Jr. all present very different combinations of floor and upside. Matthew Golden is climbing after earning a larger role in Green Bay, while rookie Denzel Boston continues looking like one of the strongest early hits from his class. Meanwhile, Rome Odunze is sliding after failing to produce consistently, and Michael Wilson is finally…

How to Value Injured Dynasty Stars Right Now Injuries are creating some of the most difficult trade decisions of the dynasty season. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price break down what they would actually pay for injured stars depending on whether a roster is contending, rebuilding, or stuck somewhere in the middle. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube De'Von Achane becomes a fascinating target for a soft rebuild, where the immediate lost production matters far less than his long-term upside. Jayden Daniels creates a completely different debate for contenders, with elite upside balanced against growing durability concerns. The guys also work through Breece Hall and Jaxson Dart, showing why the exact same player can be a buy, sell, or pass depending on where your dynasty roster stands. The second half gets less serious with Dynasty Nerds' first dating game. Hidden player profiles force Rich and Matt to choose between mystery quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, tight…

Dynasty markets move fast, but that does not mean they always move correctly. Garret Price and Andrew Mott compare their own evaluations against KeepTradeCut to identify players whose current dynasty values may be creating real trade opportunities. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Bryce Young has climbed quickly after a strong opening stretch, but Andrew sees several similarly priced assets he would rather roster. That creates an opportunity to tier down while adding additional draft capital. On the opposite end, Jared Goff continues producing QB1 numbers without receiving equivalent dynasty respect. His age may scare some managers, but Garret argues that dynasty players often sacrifice proven production while chasing youth. DJ Moore has quickly established himself as a major part of Buffalo's passing attack, while Michael Wilson continues forcing managers to reconsider his long-term ceiling. The younger upside comes from Kenyon Sadiq and TreVeyon Henderson. Both remain outside…

Dynasty Risers and Fallers After Week 3 Dynasty values are moving quickly after another chaotic week of football. Garret Price and Peter Bartausky break down the biggest risers, fallers, injuries, and potential trade windows emerging across the league. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Drake Maye has struggled badly to open the season, but Garret and Peter are not treating the downturn as a reason to sell. Instead, the market's frustration may finally be creating the buy-low window that did not exist during the offseason. The concern is much stronger with Brian Thomas Jr.. Three games into the season, his usage and production have fallen well short of expectations, creating legitimate questions about where his dynasty value goes from here. Tyler Shough is starting to win over the skeptics as New Orleans continues playing fast and putting him in fantasy-friendly situations. Rookie tight end Kenyon Sadiq may be even more intriguing after his usage and athleticism flashed again.…

Dynasty Fantasy Football Sell High Targets After Week 2 Early-season production can create some of the best selling windows dynasty managers will get all year. Garret Price and Andrew Mott identify the players they are willing to move while the market is still buying the hype. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Bryce Young has been one of fantasy's hottest quarterbacks, but a much tougher stretch of defenses is coming. If his early production has created a major dynasty value spike, Garret would rather sell before that schedule changes the conversation. Stefon Diggs has also benefited from three touchdowns through two games, while DeAndre Swift could lose valuable red zone opportunities as Chicago's backfield evolves. Christian McCaffrey is still producing, but his reduced snap share could signal a lower fantasy ceiling than managers have grown accustomed to. For rebuilding rosters, Travis Kelce and Jonathan Taylor present a different question. Both can still help win…

2026 Rookie Class Review: Stock Up or Stock Down? The 2026 rookie class entered the season with plenty of hype, but two weeks of NFL action have already started separating the hits from the concerns. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price revisit the class and decide whose dynasty stock has actually changed. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Denzel Boston has been the biggest early riser. The separation, explosiveness, and big-play ability have translated better than expected, creating a legitimate argument for him as one of the first receivers selected if rookie drafts were held again today. KC Concepcion is also trending upward, while the guys remain patient with Carnell Tate despite Tennessee's struggling offense. On the other side, recurring injury concerns have Jordan Tyson moving down. The show closes with another round of Adjust the Ranks. Christian Watson gets a major boost, Brock Purdy enters the elite dynasty quarterback conversation, and Chris Olave forces another…

Fantasy Football Week 2: Which Performances Can We Trust? Two weeks into the season, fantasy managers are already dealing with wildly different performances from the same players. Rich Dotson, Garret Price, and Matt O'Hara break down which version we should actually believe before turning their attention to the long-term security of every NFL quarterback room. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube David Montgomery went from nearly 29 fantasy points to just 4.4, while DeVonta Smith followed a quiet opener with a massive Week 2. The guys also debate Javonte Williams, Mike Evans, Rachaad White, and Josh Downs as they decide whether the monster performance or the disappointing one is closer to what managers should expect going forward. The second half of the show tackles a different question: which NFL teams are actually set at quarterback for the next three years? From completely secure franchise cornerstones to teams that could be drafting another quarterback very soon, the guys tier…

Dynasty Fantasy Football Buy Low Targets After Week 2 Two weeks of football is enough to move dynasty markets, but it is not always enough to change what we know about a player. Garret Price and Andrew Mott identify the early-season dips they are looking to buy before prices rebound. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Justin Herbert has opened the season slowly, but his dynasty price may finally have fallen far enough to create a buying opportunity. Atlanta offers two more potential discounts. Kyle Pitts has produced almost nothing through two weeks, while Drake London has also disappointed. The return of Michael Penix Jr. could quickly change both conversations. Quinshon Judkins has not delivered the rushing production managers expected, but increased receiving involvement keeps his long-term outlook intriguing. The same patience applies to Colston Loveland, Drake Maye, Jaxson Dart, and Carnell Tate. Early production has created uncertainty, but dynasty managers willing to look…

Dynasty Risers and Fallers After Week 2 Week 2 delivered injuries, breakout performances, and several dynasty values already moving in opposite directions. Garret Price, Rich Dotson, and Peter Bartausky break down the players gaining momentum and the situations becoming much harder to trust. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube TreVeyon Henderson returned and immediately captured the majority of New England's rushing work, giving managers hope that the backfield is finally shifting in his direction. Bryce Young continues building an increasingly convincing sample. His recent fantasy production has Pete wondering whether Young has graduated from speculative dynasty asset to legitimate starter for contending teams. Then there is Denzel Boston, who has scored in each of his first two games while showing the vertical separation and contested-catch ability that could quickly reshape the rookie receiver rankings. Travis Etienne is losing confidence quickly as Alvin Kamara's return…

2027 Rookie Class Risers and Fallers The 2027 rookie class already looks loaded, but the opening weeks of college football are changing the conversation. Garret Price and Andrew Mott break down the prospects climbing dynasty boards and the names starting to lose momentum. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Darian Mensah has quickly entered the QB1 conversation after a dominant start at Miami. Garret is already comfortable putting him atop the quarterback class if rookie drafts were held today. At running back, Jadan Baugh is making an equally strong push. His size, receiving ability, contact balance, and improved explosiveness have him challenging for RB1 status. Reed Harris may be the biggest breakout name of the group. At 6-foot-5 with legitimate movement skills, the Arizona State receiver has quickly become a prospect dynasty managers need to know. The early season has been less encouraging for Dante Moore. After entering the year with potential top-five NFL Draft expectations,…

Fantasy Football Week 1: Cash or Trash? One huge game can change a player's fantasy value overnight, but deciding which Week 1 performances actually matter is another story. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price put the biggest opening-week surprises through the Cash or Trash test. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Jalen Coker exploded for 138 yards and two touchdowns, but the bigger takeaway may be that his role is not going away. Carolina could have two fantasy relevant receivers even if Tetairoa McMillan remains the top option. Deebo Samuel also gets the cash treatment. His combination of targets and rushing opportunities could provide a strong weekly floor in San Francisco. A big fantasy total does not automatically mean the underlying role is safe. Chuba Hubbard scored twice, but Jonathan Brooks could continue taking more of the backfield as the season progresses. The guys also debate Tyler Shuck, Devaughn Vele, Bucky Irving, DeVonta Smith, and whether Travis Etienne…

Fantasy Football Panic Meter: Who Should You Actually Worry About? Week 1 creates some of the best dynasty buying and selling windows of the entire season. Rich Dotson and Matt O'Hara hit the panic meter and decide which disappointing performances matter and which ones fantasy managers should ignore. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube A quiet opener from Kyle Pitts is not enough to create real concern, especially considering Atlanta's quarterback situation. De'Von Achane creates a more complicated discussion. The talent and workload remain attractive, but Miami's struggling offense could lower the fantasy ceiling managers expected. There are also questions surrounding Colston Loveland after Chicago scored 59 points without him recording a catch. The concern is less about talent and more about how many mouths Ben Johnson has to feed. Parker Washington is becoming impossible to ignore. His Week 1 usage continued the breakout we saw last season, creating legitimate discussion about…

Fantasy Football True or False: What Should We Believe After Week 1? Week 1 gave fantasy managers plenty of reasons to overreact. Garret Price and Andrew Mott put some of the biggest early-season takes to the test and decide what is real and what needs more time. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Parker Washington made an immediate case for another dynasty value jump, but is he already worthy of a top 18 ranking? Kenneth Walker created a similar conversation at running back after a huge opening performance. Meanwhile, the guys debate whether Dallas Goedert can ride his opportunity into a top six tight end finish. The questions get much tougher with Cam Ward. After another disappointing performance, Garret and Andrew debate whether Tennessee should already be considering a first-round quarterback in 2027. Then there is Jeremiah Smith. Could the elite prospect immediately become dynasty's WR1 the moment he enters the NFL? Week 1 gave us information. Deciding which information…

Fantasy Football Risers and Fallers After Week 1 Week 1 gave dynasty managers plenty to react to, but separating meaningful changes from one week of noise is the challenge. Garret Price, Rich Dotson, and Peter Bartausky break down the biggest fantasy football risers and fallers after the opening weekend. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Caleb Williams delivered the type of performance that could push him into the very top tier of dynasty quarterbacks. The combination of efficiency, rushing production, weapons, and stability in Chicago's offense makes his ceiling difficult to ignore. Dalton Kincaid also made a statement with 130 receiving yards, while Bryce Young continued showing signs of progression in Carolina. The fallers bring much tougher decisions. Cam Ward struggled despite Tennessee leaning heavily on the passing game, while MarShawn Lloyd failed to capitalize on his opportunity in Green Bay. Then there is Marvin Harrison Jr. A three target Week 1 only adds to the…

Fantasy Football Players to Watch Closely in Week 1 Week 1 can create some of the best buying opportunities of the entire fantasy football season. Garret Price and Andrew Mott break down the players they will be watching most closely as roles, usage, and target shares finally become real. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Ladd McConkey enters the season with a wide range of outcomes. The biggest question is whether his new offense manufactures touches for him or leaves him fighting for a smaller target share. Bucky Irving presents a similar situation. His dynasty price has fallen, but strong early usage could quickly turn him back into a buying opportunity. The rookie situations might be even more important. Ted Hurst has an opportunity to carve out an early role in Tampa Bay, while Luther Burden enters Week 1 surrounded by massive expectations. Garret is also watching Jonah Coleman closely. Even a handful of early touches could tell us Denver wants him involved sooner than…

2026 Fantasy Football Even Bolder Predictions The bold predictions were not enough. Rich Dotson and Garret Price are back with even crazier calls for the 2026 fantasy football season, searching for the unlikely outcomes that could completely reshape dynasty values. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Brock Bowers is already an elite dynasty asset, but what happens if he starts rewriting the tight end record book? The predictions keep escalating from there. KC Concepcion gets a top 16 wide receiver call, while Trevor Lawrence is projected to finish as the QB2 and push his way into the first round of superflex startup drafts. Then there is Jameson Williams. Rich lays out a path for Williams to actually outscore Amon-Ra St. Brown, easily one of the hottest takes of either episode. Garret brings his own chaos by predicting Washington fails to produce even one top 36 fantasy wide receiver. Add massive seasons for Joe Burrow and several unexpected rookie breakouts, and these predictions…

The 2026 NFL season is finally here, which means it is time to throw safe projections out the window. Rich Dotson and Garret Price fire off their bold fantasy football predictions before the first games kick off. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Could Derrick Henry finally fall outside the RB1 tier? Rich believes age, workload, and changes along Baltimore's offensive line could finally catch up with one of fantasy football's most reliable running backs. The wide receiver predictions get even hotter. CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens are both projected to miss WR1 status in one of the episode's biggest swings, while Rashee Rice is predicted to finish outside the top 24. Not every prediction is negative. Jordan Addison gets a top 18 call as Garret bets on Minnesota's passing attack creating more explosive opportunities. There are also aggressive predictions for Jonah Coleman, Javonte Williams, DJ Moore, Dalton Kincaid, and several other players who could completely reshape fantasy…

Dynasty Buys Before Week 1: Get Them Before the Price Jumps The NFL season is finally here, and some dynasty values could change fast once the games begin. Garret Price and Andrew Mott identify players they want to acquire now before a breakout or increased opportunity sends their price higher. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Denzel Boston had consistent training camp buzz before the attention shifted elsewhere, creating a potential buying window before his role becomes clearer. TreVeyon Henderson has also fallen significantly in dynasty value despite already showing high-end upside. If his role grows again, that discount may disappear quickly. Not every target is an unproven player. Garrett Wilson has already produced at a high level, but improved quarterback play could finally push him back toward the top of the position. The guys also make cases for De'Zhaun Stribling and Jordan Addison, two receivers with clear opportunities to outperform their current dynasty prices once…

2026 Fantasy Football Tight End Rankings: Top 12 Debate The tight end position finally feels deep again. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price finish their positional rankings by revealing their top 12 tight ends for 2026. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube There is little disagreement at the top. Brock Bowers enters the season with massive expectations and a ceiling that could extend well beyond the tight end position. Trey McBride and Tyler Warren round out a consensus top three, but after that, the rankings become much harder to predict. Dalton Kincaid gets one of the most aggressive rankings of the episode after flashing elite efficiency when healthy. George Kittle creates another major debate as the guys weigh enormous target opportunity against his return from injury. There are even deeper swings. Dallas Goedert gets legitimate top six consideration, while AJ Barner sneaks into one top 12 after emerging as a bigger part of Seattle's offense. With Kyle Pitts, Colston…

2026 Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Rankings: Top 12 Debate The NFL season is almost here, which means it is time to lock in the final wide receiver projections. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price reveal their top 12 receivers for 2026 and debate which stars can challenge for the overall WR1 spot. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Ja'Marr Chase, Puka Nacua, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba separate themselves as the names everyone believes can realistically finish at the top. The order is far from unanimous, though, with questions about offensive efficiency, target volume, and whether last year's production can be repeated. The bigger disagreements arrive further down the board. Jameson Williams receives a top 10 ranking based on his explosive efficiency and the possibility of another target increase. Rich takes things even further with Garrett Wilson and Marvin Harrison Jr. inside his top 12. Wilson finally has an opportunity to turn his talent into elite fantasy production, while…

With the NFL season about to begin, dynasty startup values are already shifting. Garret Price and Peter Bartausky jump into a live 12-team superflex, tight end premium dynasty startup mock to see how training camp buzz, preseason performances, and changing positional values are affecting draft boards. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Jahmyr Gibbs goes first overall, allowing Pete to grab Josh Allen at the 1.02. It highlights an important shift in startups as elite running backs and wide receivers begin challenging quarterbacks for the very top selections. From there, both hosts are forced to adjust as the draft refuses to cooperate with their original plans. Pete pushes toward a win-now build while Garret repeatedly finds wide receiver value and abandons his usual running back heavy approach. The biggest lesson is simple: do not force a predetermined roster construction. Take the value the room gives you, recognize tier breaks, and be willing to fix roster weaknesses through…

On this episode of the Dynasty Nerds Podcast, Garret Price and Andrew Mott hand out their 2026 awards, the picks they would actually put money on. 🔮 Listen to This Episode:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTube Andrew takes the safe route with Josh Allen, and Garret immediately goes off script with Joe Burrow, betting on a Bengals offense he thinks could go nuclear. At running back it splits between Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs, with James Cook thrown in as a dark horse. Ja'Marr Chase is the unanimous wide receiver one, and Brock Bowers gets the nod at tight end with Tyler Warren lurking. Jeremiyah Love takes rookie of the year almost by default, and the guys explain why the rest of the class thinned out fast. Then come the busts, where Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert both get called out for very different reasons. Bhayshul Tuten and Jonah Coleman headline the breakouts before the MVP picks land. See how your board compares in the dynasty rankings. 🔥…

Rich Dotson and Garret Price answer listener questions covering rookie risers, roster construction, future draft classes, and how contenders should attack the running back market. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Few players have created more excitement for Rich than KC Concepcion. His separation, movement skills, versatility, and ability with the ball in his hands have Rich aggressively trying to acquire him before his dynasty value rises further. The rookie conversation does not stop there. Ashton Jeanty remains a potential workhorse, but an impressive preseason from the backs behind him creates an interesting workload discussion. The guys also explain why dynasty best ball changes the types of players they target, identify inexpensive running backs contenders can pursue, and discuss why paying premium prices at running back is not always necessary. Then attention turns toward the future. With the 2027 class finally approaching,…

Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price break down their top 12 running backs for 2026 and debate which stars have a real path to finishing as the overall RB1. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, and Christian McCaffrey headline the conversation, but the hosts believe De'Von Achane belongs firmly in the mix as well. His receiving usage and explosive ceiling make him one of the most intriguing names near the top of the position. The easy choices end there. Once the rankings move deeper, roster situations, injuries, workloads, and age create plenty of disagreement. Cam Skattebo produces one of the biggest debates after landing surprisingly high on one host's board. Javonte Williams also gets serious top 12 consideration, while Jonathan Taylor brings concerns…

The season is nearly here, and this one is not about dynasty value. On this episode of the Dynasty Nerds Podcast, Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price reveal their top 12 quarterbacks for 2026, the guys they think actually carry teams to a championship. 🏆 Listen to This Episode:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTube Everyone assumes Josh Allen is the automatic QB1, and one host takes a calculated swing anyway, putting Joe Burrow at the top and explaining exactly why the Bengals defense makes it work. Jayden Daniels, Lamar Jackson, and Drake Maye fill out the top of the boards, while Patrick Mahomes gets left off a top 12 entirely. Trevor Lawrence gets a passionate defense after a scorching finish to last season. Malik Willis cracks a top 12 on rushing volume alone, Jaxson Dart splits the room over deep ball accuracy, and Caleb Williams has one host far higher than the rest.

Flag plant season is here, and this pair is not hedging. On this episode of the Dynasty Nerds Podcast, Garret Price and Andrew Mott name the players they are riding into 2026. Listen to This Episode:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTube Andrew plants his flag on Jayden Daniels for a top five finish, arguing the market badly overreacted to an injury riddled year two. Garret counters with Jalen Hurts, and he takes apart every knock one by one, the age narrative, the tush push, and the loss of a certain number one receiver. Then comes the one place these two actually disagree, and it involves Cam Skattebo and the arrival of Najee Harris. De'Von Achane gets a passionate defense despite the offense around him, Chris Olave draws an irrational buy from Andrew, and Tee Higgins might be the most gettable contending piece in dynasty right now. Emeka Egbuka is pegged for a top 15 finish, and both hosts land on the same tight end: Tyler Warren, with a target projection that will raise eyebrows. Line these up against the dynasty…

Camp week delivered one of the fastest panic cycles of the offseason. On this episode of the Dynasty Nerds Podcast, Garret Price and Andrew Mott run through the news that actually moves your roster, starting with a scare that came and went in about five hours. 😅 Listen to This Episode:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTube Ashton Jeanty went from doomsday to high ankle in a matter of hours, and managers who moved fast got fleeced. The guys share two real trades that closed before the truth came out, plus why Mike Washington still matters even now.

Value season is here, and finding the guys before the market does is the whole game. On this episode of the Dynasty Nerds Podcast, Garret Price is joined by JJ Zachariason of Late Round QB to trade names they think are badly mispriced heading into the year. 📈 Listen to This Episode:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTube JJ opens with Stefon Diggs, and the metrics say the washed label is flat wrong. The fit next to Terry McLaurin might be the cleanest one on the board. Garret counters with Jaylen Waddle, whose new role and volume path could push him from a guy people shrug at into legitimate wide receiver one territory. The two also dig into why chasing the X label is one of the most common mistakes fantasy managers make. Terrance Ferguson carries a downfield profile unlike any tight end in football, Jonah Coleman draws an Alvin Kamara comparison that is hard to unhear, and Wan'Dale Robinson might quietly split targets with Carnell Tate far more evenly than anyone expects. Quinshon Judkins closes it out with a Nick…

Garret Price walks Rich Dotson and Matt O'Hara through his full 2026 projections, and the guys push back hard on more than a few of them. 🏈 Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts🎙️ Spotify▶️ YouTube Josh Allen projects as the only true difference maker at the position, with Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson right behind him. The bigger takeaway is what happens next. From quarterback two down to quarterback 13, there is barely a two point per game spread. Rich argues Trevor Lawrence and Justin Herbert both deserve a bump, and makes a bold call on Patrick Mahomes missing the top 12 entirely. Jahmyr Gibbs edges Bijan Robinson at the top, with Christian McCaffrey and De'Von Achane completing the elite tier. Rich pounds the table for David Montgomery and Jonathan Brooks as value plays. At receiver, Ja'Marr Chase and Puka Nacua sit well clear of the field. And George…

On this episode of the Dynasty Nerds Podcast, Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price dig into the players where their boards split hardest. 🔥 Listen to This Episode:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTube A.J. Brown opens things up with a 20 spot gap between hosts, and the conversation turns into a clinic on how to rank a 29 year old who still produces. Kenneth Walker III gets a surprising comparison to Javonte Williams, and one host argues the Kansas City backfield history matters more than the talent. Then Bryce Young brings out a side of Matt nobody has heard before, and Mark Andrews splits the room on whether the wheels are already coming off. Rich gave up Tyler Shough and Jaylen Waddle for KC Concepcion, and he explains exactly why he is fine getting waxed publicly for it. Jonah Coleman closes the show with an Alvin Kamara comparison that might change how you value him. Stack these takes against your dynasty…

Marvin Harrison Jr. gets a make or break number, and Parker Washington quietly leads every Jacksonville receiver, including Brian Thomas Jr. 😳 The second half is where it turns. Justin Herbert, Malik Willis, Omarion Hampton, Bhayshul Tuten, and Tetairoa McMillan all get graded, and Garret rescues his score in the clutch. Then comes Luther Burden III, whose touchdown number…

The first real game action of the year gave us plenty to chew on. Garret Price and Andrew Mott sort through preseason week one and separate the performances that actually matter from the ones you should forget by Thursday. 🏈 Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts🎙️ Spotify▶️ YouTube De'Zhaun Stribling opened with eight targets and seven catches, and the guys break down what that means in a receiver room where nearly everyone else is 30 or older. DJ Moore looked like the forgotten man of the offseason finally waking up, and Andrew explains what a contender should be willing to pay. Ty Simpson went 21 of 25 with two scores, while Drew Allar threw two touchdowns and ran for another. Garret lays out why he is firmly on Team Allar in that Pittsburgh quarterback race behind Aaron Rodgers. Plus KC Concepcion, Denzel Boston, Ja'Kobi Lane, and Elijah Sarratt all get their moment. Kaytron Allen carried it 23 times for 85 yards and a touchdown, and Garret argues that is actually bad news. Dean Connors flashed but…

Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price close out the positional primer with the dynasty tight end top 12, plus the dark horses and the one guy they are all steering around. 🏈 Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts🎙️ Spotify▶️ YouTube Brock Bowers is the unanimous tight end one and the only one Garret would consider in the first round of a superflex startup. Trey McBride has posted wide receiver one numbers two years running, which is the cheat code the crew keeps coming back to. Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren follow, with Loveland carrying the ceiling and Warren the floor. Kyle Pitts is climbing boards mid recording, while Harold Fannin Jr. and Tucker Kraft round out the group. Past tight end eight, the guys say the difference maker window closes entirely.

Andrew calls him his most rostered player in dynasty right now, pointing to a Kansas City receiver room with real cracks and a rookie who has been the go to target from the moment he walked in the building.
