Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price are back with the annual Dynasty Nerds cornerstone draft. This episode looks at the 2024, 2025, and 2026 rookie classes in a Superflex tight end premium format to decide which young players dynasty managers should build around.

The draft starts with Brock Bowers, Drake Maye, Caleb Williams, and Jayden Daniels as the top tier cornerstone options. The crew debates positional value, long term safety, and whether elite tight end production can outweigh the quarterback advantage in Superflex.

The running back group quickly enters the conversation with Ashton Jeanty, Jeremiyah Love, and Omarion Hampton, while Malik Nabers and Tetairoa McMillan headline a receiver pool that feels thinner than past cornerstone drafts.

As the draft moves deeper, names like Colston Loveland, Tyler Warren, Emeka Egbuka, Carnell Tate, Ladd McConkey, Cam Ward, Marvin Harrison Jr., TreVeyon Henderson, and Quinshon Judkins show how much value still exists.

The crew also tackles which quarterbacks can hit 3,500 passing yards and 400 rushing yards, which NFL teams have the most top end fantasy assets, and the best running backs of the 2000s. LaDainian Tomlinson, Christian McCaffrey, Alvin Kamara, and Derrick Henry all get their moments before the fast money round closes the show with rookie predictions, injury discounts, and multi-team wide receiver legends.

Garret Price and Andrew Mott break down dynasty fantasy football tear down players — players they still like, but who may be valued too highly in the current dynasty market. Using KYC values as a guide, they discuss when it makes sense to trade down from elite or high-priced dynasty assets and collect extra value while keeping similar production. Players discussed include Lamar Jackson, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Trey McBride, George Pickens, Saquon Barkley, and Kenneth Walker. Should you cash out on these dynasty stars before their value drops? Which players can you pivot to? And how can you turn one expensive asset into multiple lineup pieces or future picks?

Garret Price and Andrew Mott are hunting for dark horse fantasy football players who could finish as the number one overall scorer at their position.

The tight end discussion starts with Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren, two young players with the usage and target upside to crash the elite tier. At wide receiver, Drake London and Justin Jefferson bring different cases, but both have the volume and talent to challenge the top of the position.

At running back, Chase Brown and Omarion Hampton offer exciting paths through receiving work, red zone chances, and explosive offensive environments. The quarterback conversation brings in Justin Herbert and Caleb Williams, two passers with the weapons, rushing upside, and offensive structure to make a major fantasy leap.

The crew starts with Ladd McConkey, whose year three setup in Los Angeles could bring a major target boost. Michael Pittman Jr. also gets highlighted as a steady veteran value in Pittsburgh, while Jalen Royals offers a cheap upside swing if Kansas City needs another pass catcher to step forward.

At tight end, Dallas Goedert, Juwan Johnson, and Mark Andrews headline the buy list. Each player offers a path to useful production without paying elite tight end prices. Use these names with Dynasty Rankings to find trade windows before your league mates adjust.

Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price are shopping for dynasty buys at quarterback and running back. This episode looks at Superflex and tight end premium values, focusing on players whose price does not match their upside, role, or long term insulation.

The crew opens with a deep dive into Cam Ward, whose rookie struggles have created a buying window entering year two. With added weapons and Brian Daboll helping shape the offense, Ward gets framed as a young quarterback who could quickly climb from QB2 pricing.

They also discuss Deshaun Watson and Daniel Jones as cheaper Superflex swings. Watson carries obvious risk, but his price is nearly free. Jones offers rushing upside, a stable offense, and a clearer runway than many quarterbacks in his range.

At running back, D'Andre Swift, Rachaad White, and Travis Etienne headline the buy list. Each brings a different profile, from steady RB2 production to cheap pass catching upside to a potential lead role in a fast paced offense.

Garret and Andrew fire up a fast paced round of Booming Bench Bust, putting dynasty favorites into three buckets and forcing clear takes instead of the usual keep trade cut hedging. Garret frames it as a gut check game, and Andrew leans into ceiling and situation, even when it means making uncomfortable calls on big names.

The show opens with a tricky wide receiver trio where Andrew crowns George Pickens as the boom, slots Garrett Wilson as the bench, and tags Chris Olave as the bust based on target competition. Garret counters by calling Garrett Wilson his boom and pushing Pickens into bust territory due to volatility and situational risk. At quarterback, both agree Joe Burrow carries the biggest boom profile, but they split on the bench bust debate between Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert, with Garret worried about Herbert’s volume under Harbaugh.

At running back, both side with Kenneth Walker as the boom over Breece Hall and Quinshon Judkins, then align again on a second trio by making Javonte Williams the boom and fading Josh Jacobs. Tight end debate follows, with both landing on Sam LaPorta as the bust, while Garret pushes Kyle Pitts as his boom. The episode closes with a fun QB2 swing where Andrew bets on Ty Simpson as the long play boom, while Garret plants a flag on Daniel Jones as a potential career resurgence.

The Dynasty Nerds crew is back with their annual “repeat rate” deep dive, breaking down how often elite fantasy finishes actually repeat year to year and what that means for building dynasty rosters. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price walk through the biggest shifts in the data, with the running back position showing the most meaningful change.

The headline is the pivot at RB. Historically, most top 12 RB seasons were one and done, but now only 43.75% of RB1 seasons are single year hits, meaning 56% plus repeat. Even wilder, about 40.6% of RB1 seasons come from backs who eventually log three or more RB1 years. That shift strengthens the case for locking in young cornerstone backs like Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs, who already have three RB1 seasons in three years, while Kyren Williams keeps beating the “other shoe” narrative by repeating without elite peak finishes.

At QB, Josh Allen is in historic territory with seven top six seasons in eight years, and a massive top three hit rate. The show also notes how rare four top six seasons are, which keeps Patrick Mahomes and Dak Prescott in elite company even when real life value and fantasy value diverge.

With training camps creeping closer, the Dynasty Nerds crew is already digging into the unsexy part of roster building: ultra cheap stashes who can turn into real lineup leverage fast.

The episode kicks off with Jake Tonges, a near free tight end who flashed when George Kittle missed time and now has a clearer path after Kittle’s Achilles injury. At wide receiver, Washington’s open competition puts Luke McCaffrey and Jaylin Lane under the microscope, while Tory Horton is framed as a best ball friendly bet in Seattle’s unsettled depth chart. The Raiders segment circles back to Jack Bech as a cheap post hype option, and the dart throws continue with George Holani and Malik Washington as opportunity based stashes. They close with the classic handcuff thesis, citing Brian Robinson Jr. and other backup backs as boring assets that can flip into league winning volume in one snap.

Chicago might be the most fantasy-friendly breakout factory of 2026, and Garret Price and Andrew Mott are planting their flags early. This episode runs through six breakout bets, from young ascending quarterbacks to a contender-only veteran RB swing, with clear reasons why these situations could spike in a big way.

Andrew’s favorite breakout is Rome Odunze, pointing to an early 2025 hot start before a stress fracture derailed the season. With DJ Moore gone, plus Luther Burden and Colston Loveland helping consolidate targets in a Ben Johnson offense, the ceiling is back on the table. Garret doubles down with Caleb Williams, calling for a second leap from QB6 into a year where top-three finishes become the regular outcome, especially if efficiency climbs with weapons like D'Andre Swift.

Andrew swings on Cam Ward improving with better coaching and Carnell Tate in Tennessee. Garret calls Omarion Hampton a potential RB3 overall type outcome in the right run-heavy environment. The deep value TE bet is Chigoziem Okonkwo in Washington, and the contender-only hammer is David Montgomery, a cheap buy who could climb on red zone volume.

Welcome back into the Dynasty Nerds podcast as Garret Price and Andrew Mott complete the offseason circle—after buy targets, it’s time to talk sells. And they’re clear up front: “sell” doesn’t mean a player is bad. It’s about price, roster build, and whether you can pivot within a tier without sacrificing your title chances.

Andrew opens with Trevor Lawrence as a classic “tier-down” candidate. The market is pricing him like a top-10 dynasty QB off a scorching 2025 second half, but the guys argue the gap between Lawrence and steady producers like Purdy, Dak, Nix, or Goff isn’t big enough to justify the premium. The ideal move is staying in the same QB tier while adding a throw-in on top.

Garret brings the heat with Trey McBride—not because he’s not elite, but because he might be at peak value. The argument: if you can flip McBride into Brock Bowers, you take the better long-term target environment. McBride’s situation carries more “yellow flags” (changing offense, more target competition, potential QB shifts, and a run-game emphasis) that could shave his weekly edge and turn a “$1” asset into an “$0.85” asset quickly.

The big takeaway is simple: this class is thin, and after the early tier, drafts turn into a “shake the bag and pick a name” free-for-all. The guys break down why Jeremiah Love still sits atop the board after going top-three NFL draft capital, while Carnell Tate and Fernando Mendoza form the key pivot point depending on team needs and how you value long-term insulation at QB.

From there, it’s a knife fight between upside receivers like Makai Lemon, Jordyn Tyson, and KC Concepcion, plus the “flip him for a future first” crowd led by Jadarian Price. They also debate how much tape should outweigh situation with Omar Cooper Jr., and why the next cluster—Eli Stowers, Ty Simpson, Kenyon Sadiq, and Denzel Boston—is more about survivability and trade windows than certainty.

Apple Podcasts

The crew breaks down a top-12 that includes Josh Allen at 1, Bijan Robinson at 2, and Drake Maye at 3—then gets spicy when Jeremiah Love shows up at 9 overall. The consensus: rookie fever is one thing, but paying first-round startup prices for a back without proven “can’t miss” insulation is a massive bet. They also call out the head-scratcher of Trey McBride being drafted ahead of Brock Bowers, especially given Bowers’ target competition and quarterback upgrade.

As they move through rounds three and four, Christian McCaffrey becomes the “win now or bust” fork in the road. If you’re drafting CMC there, you’re consciously trading away multi-year value for a title shot. In round four, Chase Brown is the name that gets labeled as the biggest “doesn’t belong” pick—productive, sure, but viewed as a short-term RB profile being priced like a foundational piece. Meanwhile, the group keeps circling value in younger quarterbacks and receivers who can hold or gain value as the 2027 rookie class pushes older assets down the board.

Andrew leans into a youth movement, prioritizing long term value insulation at quarterback and wide receiver. That approach highlights why grabbing cornerstone QBs like Drake Maye early can set a roster up for years, even if the running back room looks thin at first. The idea is simple: stack flexible assets, then trade into production when the window opens.

Garret takes a win now approach, emphasizing immediate points with premium positions and weekly ceilings, including Trey McBride and Jalen Hurts. The conversation also touches on how the market is reacting to running back scarcity, pushing backs up boards even in superflex formats. If you are drafting soon, this mock gives a clear snapshot of current ADP trends and the leverage points to attack.

Garret and Andrew break down the biggest “survivors” from the 2026 NFL Draft, highlighting veterans whose roles stayed clean when many managers expected their teams to add real competition. If your league is still overvaluing rookie picks, this is the window to trade for proven production before summer pricing kicks in.

The list starts with Chase Brown, who dodged the exact type of Day 2 back that could have threatened a true feature workload. Then the focus shifts to Cam Skattebo, another back who avoided the nightmare scenario, keeping a clear path to touches in a room that already fits what he does best. At receiver, Josh Downs benefits from a depth chart that stayed quiet in the draft, setting up a target-friendly season in the middle of the field.

The Chiefs not adding meaningful wide receiver competition keeps Rashee Rice positioned as a volume-driven centerpiece when healthy, even if the offseason noise never stops. Jacksonville passing on RB additions creates a cleaner runway for Bhayshul Tuten, while Tampa’s draft keeps Rachaad White alive as a practical contender play in PPR formats. The big sneaky call is Oronde Gadsden, whose situation stayed open enough to flirt with top tier tight end outcomes if the target tree cooperates. The episode closes with David Montgomery as a pure win-now buy, a short-window volume bet that can outscore the mid-second rookie tier when you are chasing a title.

Garret Price and Andrew Mott close the pre-draft runway by locking in their top fives at every fantasy position—and the real takeaway isn’t just the names, it’s the process. They argue that if a player is moving more than a few spots post-draft, it’s usually a mistake. Big ADP risers are more likely to bust, and the NFL Draft should be used to break ties and clarify Day 3, not rewrite your board.

They open by calling out the most common dynasty leak this time of year: letting the NFL Draft swing opinions too far. The exception is when the league is drastically lower than expected on a player, which should trigger a reevaluation, not an automatic fade. The goal is conviction, not consensus.

At quarterback, it’s a Superflex-first conversation, led by Fernando Mendoza as the clear QB1, with the tier breaks after that shaping how aggressively you should chase the rest of the class. At running back, Jeremiyah Love is the clear RB1, while the RB2 tier is a tight cluster where landing spot and draft capital will decide the order between Mike Washington Jr., Jonah Coleman, and Jadarian Price, with Emmett Johnson getting real love as the RB5 swing.

Wide receiver is where the variance shows up. Andrew’s WR group is led by Jordyn Tyson, with Carnell Tate and Makai Lemon close behind, then KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston in the mix. Garret’s list is more aggressive on upside and has Omar Cooper inside the top tier, while still acknowledging Boston as the “safer” archetype compared to the boom bust profiles behind him.

At tight end, they largely agree on the names at the top—Eli Stowers and Kenyon Sadiq headline the class—but disagree on how to order the mid-tier, with the conversation shaped by how much you’re willing to bet on traits versus profile risk.

Dynasty Nerds goes full draft-night game mode with an “over/under” episode that’s basically built for comments: pick a line, pick higher or lower, and lock in your guesses before Thursday. With just Garret and Andrew, the entire show is about translating draft range into dynasty value swings, especially in a class where teams reportedly don’t have much consensus.

They start at the very top with Carnell Tate and treat the “6.5” line like a real indicator of league-wide WR demand, with Cleveland and Tennessee feeling like the most logical fits. Then the fun one hits: Jeremiyah Love at 6.5. Love “should” go that early, but the team fit is messy enough that they explore the trade-up scenarios, landing on the idea that Washington at 7 is a real outcome if the board breaks right.

The episode then shifts into first-round macro questions like “Do we get a second QB in Round 1?” with Ty Simpson getting the nod as the likely name to sneak in. Jordan Tyson gets a top-11 conversation that hinges on his pro day and medical confidence.

Then comes the tight end curveball: Eli Stowers at 32.5. They love the fantasy “WR at TE” angle, but they’re realistic about the NFL lens. If a player can’t block, it’s hard to justify top-20 capital, so Stowers is framed as a strong early Day 2 bet rather than a locked-in first rounder.

The RB2 line turns into a debate about whether we get a true Round 2 back or if the class gets pushed into Round 3. Chris Brazzell becomes the classic “speed and length gets drafted” argument, with disagreement on whether he’s inside the top 50.

They close with broader market calls, like over/under 5.5 WRs in Round 1, plus smaller lines like Emmett Johnson being more likely Day 3, and Taylen Green as a traits-based QB dart who still probably lands outside the first four rounds.

The Dynasty Nerds wrap up their 2026 rookie breakdown series by digging into the tight end class—and the big theme is simple: tight end upside exists, but fantasy relevance usually comes down to target share and deployment. If a rookie tight end isn’t becoming a top-two option in the offense (or at least a designed focal point), good luck turning traits into weekly lineups.

Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price wrap the 2026 scouting series with a tight end episode that feels more important than usual. Even in a weaker rookie class, tight end remains the position where landing spot and opportunity can flip value fast, especially as NFL offenses lean harder into 12 personnel and “move” tight ends who are really big receivers.

Kenyon Sadiq headlines as the freakiest tester, but the crew digs into why the production and usage felt more manufactured than dominant. The debate is simple. Do you chase the rare athletic profile and bet on development, or do you prefer a tight end who already wins routes and targets more naturally?

Michael Trigg flashes rare movement and length, but the episode doesn’t hide the volatility, including consistency and off field trust questions. Justin Joly earns praise as a savvy, sticky hands receiver with a clear path to being fantasy relevant in the right system. Sam Roush is framed as the size and blocking archetype who may be more valuable to NFL teams than dynasty managers. Josh Cuevas reads more like an H back or fullback projection. Oscar Delp is the traits over production bet, with a pro day profile that will make teams think they can unlock more than Georgia showed.

Draft month means sleeper season, and Jagger May and Andrew Mott run through ten pre-draft names they’re planting flags on before Round 1. This list mixes fantasy-relevant late shots with a few defensive “bookmark it now” players, with the central theme being simple: traits, role pathways, and draft capital matter more than hype this time of year.

The guys lead with Skyler Bell as a “real” sleeper with legit production and analytics signals, then pivot to tight end value with Eli Raridon, a versatile option who can block and stay on the field. At RB, Adam Randall is pitched as a converted wideout with third-down receiving upside, while Kevin Coleman Jr. and Antonio Williams are framed as slot-plus weapons with enough athletic traits to earn a role fast if the landing spot cooperates.

On defense, Zion Young and Gabe Jacas get shouted out as edge names who could outplay their draft buzz, with the reminder that a “weak fantasy class” can still be loaded overall and push offensive sleepers down the board. The episode closes with tight end swings like Justin Joly and Marlin Klein as cheap, traits-based stashes that could pay off if an NFL staff unlocks them.

Peter Schrager’s latest mock draft has the Draft Nerds crew in full debate mode, with Garret Price, Andrew Mott, and Jagger May reacting pick by pick to the intel, the fits, and the reaches. The top of the board feels mostly chalk, but the conversation heats up fast once team building and positional value collide, especially around running backs and early wide receivers.

The crew agrees Fernando Mendoza at 1 is a lock, then praises David Bailey as a Jets slam dunk at 2. Things get spicy with Jeremiah Love projected at 4, where they love the talent but question the Titans taking a premium RB with Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears already in place, arguing Carnell Tate might make more sense.

The fantasy fireworks come with Jordan Tyson to Kansas City as the first WR off the board, a fit that could reshape roles around Rashee Rice, Travis Kelce, and Xavier Worthy. They also call out polarizing spots like Kenyon Sadiq to Baltimore, and hammer the idea that a first round RB not named Jeremiah Love is a reach, especially with Jadarian Price sneaking into Round 1.

The Dynasty Nerds wrap their 2026 rookie wide receiver series with a fast, tape-driven debate on where the real value pockets live in rookie drafts.

On first mention, Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price rave about KC Concepcion as one of the most sudden separators in the class, with a top-tier release package and legitimate outside size. The only real holdup is the drop rate, but the show leans toward that being correctable rather than fatal.

The discussion pivots to Chris Brazzell as a classic size speed bet with real ball tracking and spike-week potential, even if effort and off-field notes create volatility. Bryce Lance brings elite testing and a Christian Watson-style profile, but age and competition level shrink the dynasty runway. Deion Burks flashes rare explosiveness yet never fully converts tools into production. C.J. Daniels is framed as a functional possession option, while Harrison Wallace III lands as a low-upside depth dart.

The Dynasty Nerds are back with a quick hitter dynasty game: rookies vs. vets. Garret Price sits in the hot seat while Andrew Mott fires off player-for-player decisions based on current startup ADP and consensus rankings, with the NFL Draft looming as the ultimate tiebreaker.

The headliners start at RB, where Garret leans Jeremiah Love over Ashton Jeanty thanks to receiving upside and projected volume, then pivots to the safe side at QB with Jordan Love over Fernando Mendoza. At WR, Garret prefers the ceiling of Carnell Tate over Ladd McConkey, but sticks with the established profile of Marvin Harrison Jr. over Makai Lemon.

At TE, Kyle Pitts gets the nod over Kenyon Sadiq, and the episode closes with a classic dynasty takeaway: sometimes the pick itself is the asset. Garret takes KC Concepcion over DJ Moore, framing 1.07 as a flexible “wait for the draft” decision, not a locked-in player.

Jagger May and Andrew Mott are already looking past 2026 and breaking down a quarterback class that could rival some of the best in recent memory. With at least four first-round-caliber passers and an S-tier that could produce the next franchise QB, the 2027 class deserves your attention right now.

Dante Moore sits at number one with high-upside tools and the most to gain or lose in 2027. He now faces stiff competition from transfer portal newcomer Dylan Raiola at Oregon, making his season a must-watch storyline. Julian Sayin at Ohio State is drawing massive buzz as a potential QB1, while Arch Manning showed real improvement late in the season at Texas. Jayden Maiava at USC, DJ Lagway (now at Baylor), and LaNorris Sellers round out a tier of big-armed, high-ceiling prospects still learning the game.

Josh Hoover transferring to Indiana may be the sleeper of the class, and John Mateer at Oklahoma brings electric athleticism if he can rein in the decision making. Brendan Sorsby heads to Texas Tech as a name to watch. The dynasty advice is simple: stockpile 2027 picks now before the market catches up.

The Dynasty Nerds Show is back with Episode 3 of the 2026 wide receiver tape breakdown. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price work through six more receivers, and this group brings a mix of high-end talent, intriguing sleepers, and a couple of names the crew is ready to move past entirely.

Makai Lemon opens the show and earns some of the highest praise of the entire series. Garret scores him at 77.8 and Matt at 79.0, putting him right alongside Carnell Tate as the clear top two receivers in the class. The crew calls him a dog in every sense of the word, a Puka Nacua comp who plays with relentless toughness, attacks the catch point, blocks downfield, and refuses to lose. His only concern coming out of the combine was some chatter around his interviews and attitude, but nothing in the tape supported that. The crew sees him as a PPR machine with WR1 upside depending on landing spot. Elijah Sarratt is the toughest evaluation of the episode. He was technically sound at Indiana with 15 touchdowns, but the crew noticed he looked a half step slow at the combine compared to everyone else running identical routes. His tape showed very limited separation, a heavy reliance on back shoulder throws with Fernando Mendoza, and a contested catch conversion rate that raised flags. The crew has him in the WR14 range and needs to see athleticism numbers before feeling comfortable. Antonio Williams draws a Jayden Reed comp and slots into that same mid-tier cluster as a gadget chess piece who lives in the slot, turns every catch into a punt return situation, and adds value with no wasted motion in his routes. The injury history is the one real concern. Ted Hurst out of Georgia State is the breakout name of the episode. Six foot four, a 4.42 at the combine, and a Josh Gordon comp from Matt that the whole crew got behind. His ball tracking grade was his highest mark, his speed glides effortlessly on tape, and his Senior Bowl week was one of the best of any receiver in this class. The crew projects him as a day two pick with a true X receiver ceiling. Kevin Coleman and Jordan Hudson close the show and both land off most boards. Coleman disappears against top competition and Hudson offers a little more with the ball in his hands but neither generates dynasty interest from the crew.

The Dynasty Nerds Show is back with Episode 2 of the 2026 wide receiver tape breakdown. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price work through six receivers from their personal tape grades, and the early takeaway is that this class is notably cleaner than the running back group. There are no players the crew wants completely off their boards, which makes the tier separation between them all the more important heading into draft season.

Carnell Tate opens the show and earns unanimous WR1 status. Garret's tape score of 79.18 puts him in the same all-time company as Ja'Marr Chase, CeeDee Lamb, and Malik Nabers. His 86% contested catch rate ranked third in the entire country, he had zero drops on the season, and the passer rating when targeting him was 151.8, best nationally. The crew calls him the safest player in the 2026 draft class and a multi-contract dynasty asset who wins in every area of the field. Germie Barnard draws a Robert Woods comp from the crew: reliable, smart, and landing-spot dependent for his fantasy ceiling. Malachi Fields is the most debated name on the show. His ball skills, catch radius, and physicality grade at an elite level, but only 36 catches at Notre Dame left too many questions about route tree and burst. Garret has him with a first-round grade. Zachariah Branch is viewed as a special teams ace and gadget piece with limited dynasty value, while Eric Rivers falls even further for the group due to poor hands and unrefined routes despite running a 4.35. The episode closes with a strong endorsement of small-school sleeper Tyren Montgomery, a former walk-on basketball player at LSU turned polished route runner out of John Carroll who turned heads at the Senior Bowl. The crew plans to draft him in rounds 4 to 5 as a high-upside stash with real development upside.

The 2026 wide receiver class is officially open for business on the Dynasty Nerds podcast. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price kick off their multi-episode WR breakdown series with six prospects, headlined by one of the most debated players in the class and a few names that spark genuine disagreement on the film room tape.

Jordyn Tyson out of Arizona State is the centerpiece of this episode and for good reason — some analysts have him as the number one receiver in the class, others as number three. The crew lands somewhere in between. Tyson earns nerd scores of 77.2 (Rich) and 76.5 (Garret), putting him in the same historical range as Jaylen Waddle and Drake London, with a few cautionary names like Jalen Reagor mixed in. The praise is real: he's a smooth, savvy route runner who gets open against zone at will, works every alignment, and has a 67% contested catch win rate by one metric. The concern is equally real: against press man coverage — specifically the Utah tape — he struggles to create separation, offers almost nothing after the catch, and carries an extensive injury history including a 2022 ACL/MCL, a 2024 broken collarbone, and multiple hamstring injuries in 2025 that prevented him from finishing a season for the third straight year. The consensus projection is WR 1.4 to 1.5 territory in SuperFlex rookie drafts, with Carnell Tate and Makai Lemon grading in a tier above him. His floor comp is Jerry Jeudy; his ceiling is Amari Cooper or Garrett Wilson in the right situation.

Ja'Kobi Lane from USC is the kind of player who helps an NFL team more than he helps your dynasty roster — at least in the short term. At 6-4 with a 40-inch vertical, massive catch radius, and vice-grip hands that give him a clear advantage in contested situations, the tape is legitimately intriguing. Garret scores him a 75.8, Matt comes in at 73.4, and the gap reflects a genuine split on how much to weigh his route-running limitations. He's a build-up speed guy, not a burst guy, and physical corners can knock him around at the line. He played through a lower-body injury in 2025 that may explain a down statistical year, and the crew encourages revisiting his 2024 tape before locking in a final grade. Dream landing spots: the Raiders alongside Fernando Mendoza, or New England with Drake Maye. Ceiling: Tee Higgins. Floor: a big possession receiver who helps teams more than dynasty managers.

Stay current on all of these receivers with the Dynasty Rankings and go deeper with the Film Room as four more wide receiver episodes drop in the coming weeks.

Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price close out the class with six running backs who, outside of the top tier, struggle to inspire confidence in any dynasty format.

Jadarian Price out of Notre Dame may carry the "consensus RB2" label in many dynasty circles, but all three hosts come away largely underwhelmed. Price earns nerd scores in the low-to-mid 73s — respectable for this class, but not the kind of tape that inspires first-round dynasty capital. His vision, patience, and contact balance are legitimate strengths, but his near-total absence from the passing game (just 15 career receptions) is a glaring red flag in PPR formats. The hosts land on Price as a prototypical 1.5-to-2-year window guy — the kind of back an NFL team leans on in a pinch before eventually upgrading. Solid, not special.

Nick Singleton came into Penn State with first-round buzz and a reputation as the premier running back in his recruiting class. What the Dynasty Nerds film room found was something far less exciting. Singleton scores a 70.8 (Rich) and 69.8 (Garret) — RB5 by default in a shallow class. He has the size, speed, and pass-catching ability to intrigue NFL teams, but his vision is described as "atrocious," his hips are tight, and he offers zero wiggle in the open field. He's a straight-line athlete playing running back rather than a polished NFL prospect. The crew agrees he's a late Day 3 pick — a high-ceiling project that dynasty managers should treat as a third-round flier at best.

Le'Von Moss from Texas A&M had just seven games last season before tearing his MCL and ACL, and the limited film makes a full evaluation nearly impossible. When healthy, the crew acknowledges real tools — initial burst, angry running style, low pad level, and surprisingly better lateral movement than Singleton. But with only 121 career carries at his peak and no involvement in the passing game (two career receptions in 2025), Moss falls into the fourth tier of this class. Garret scores him a 68.7. The health question mark simply overshadows everything else.

Jam Miller from Alabama carries the stigma of Crimson Tide running backs without the résumé to back it up. His 4.42 40-yard dash was legitimately surprising, and his pass protection grades are a relative bright spot, but that's about it. Poor vision, missed cutback lanes, and a concerning inability to break tackles leave the hosts stumped on how he gets drafted. Rich scores him a 65.6; Garret gives him a 63.7. The consensus: great athlete in the real world, not a dynasty asset in this one.

Roman Hemby out of Indiana is everything you expect from a backup running back — nothing more, nothing less. He reads blocks well, almost never fumbles (two career fumbles on 710 carries), catches the ball adequately, and runs with purpose. But he lacks burst, top-end speed, and any ability to make defenders miss after contact. Garret scores him a 67.5. Rich identifies him as the best run blocker in this entire class. He'll stay on rosters because coaches will like him — but if he's ever starting, his team is already making calls. A true baked potato. No butter.

The wild card of the episode is Rahsul Faison from South Carolina — a 26-year-old prospect who started college football in 2019, before COVID, and somehow scores a 70.5 on Rich's nerd scale (sixth in the class on tape alone). The age kills his dynasty outlook, but the tape is surprisingly watchable: genuine elusiveness, strong instincts, natural hands, and a high forced-missed-tackle rate per PFF. The hosts agree he's more of a priority free agent or late-round flier than a dynasty stash — but in a class this thin, even a 26-year-old with good tape stands out. His taxi squad eligibility running out before he'd realistically age off your roster is half the selling point.

The 2026 running back class outside of Jeremiyah Love is genuinely one of the weakest in recent memory. Nerd scores drop from the 80s (Love) to the low 70s (Mike Washington, Jonah Coleman, Jadarian Price) and then fall below 70 for everyone else. The hosts' advice: be patient, look for value in receivers and tight ends with your premium picks, and only reach for these backs if the landing spot justifies the risk.

With the NFL Draft just a month away, Garret Price and Andrew Mott are back on the Dynasty Nerds Podcast to break down the players carrying the most risk heading into draft season. Nobody on this list is dead in the water, but all of them could see their dynasty value shift dramatically depending on what happens over the next few weeks.

Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason headline the risky running back conversation, with Minnesota's unsettled front office and draft capital pointing toward potential reinforcements in the backfield. Rookie names like Jadarian Price, Kayron Allen, and Emmett Johnson could all find their way to Minnesota and steal touches. In Kansas City, Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy are both vulnerable with the Chiefs holding a top-ten pick in both the first and second round and a clear need for a true pass-catching weapon alongside Patrick Mahomes. Over in Arizona, Tyler Allgeier enters a crowded backfield with an uncertain quarterback situation and the very real possibility the Cardinals add a running back in the draft, making him a prime sell candidate at current value.

Geno Smith heads back to the Jets as nothing more than a bridge quarterback, with Ty Simpson or another young signal-caller likely to take over before the season is out. Ricky Pearsall in San Francisco gets a longer leash with Mike Evans and Christian Kirk added around him, but picks 27 and 58 put the 49ers squarely in range for receivers like Omar Cooper or KC Concepcion who would immediately threaten his long-term role. Finally, Malik Nabers carries the most risk of the bunch, with an injury recovery running behind schedule, a new receiver potentially coming at pick five, and an ADP of ten overall that prices in a best-case scenario the offseason has not supported. Stay current on all of these players with the Dynasty Rankings as the draft picture continues to develop.

The Draft Nerds are back with a four-round rookie-only mock draft in a tight end premium, PPR super flex format. Jagger May and Andrew Mott break down every pick, debate positional value, and reveal exactly how they're approaching one of the more wide-open rookie classes in recent memory.

Jeremiyah Love goes first overall without hesitation, and from there the board gets interesting fast. Andrew grabs Fernando Mendoza at 1.03, leaning into super flex format value over the wide receiver run happening around him. Jagger follows with KC Concepcion while both hosts agree that Jonah Coleman, Jadarian Price, and most running backs not named Jeremiyah Love should wait. The consensus is clear: this is a pass catcher draft, and wide receivers and tight ends carry more reliable value than nearly any running back in the class.

Andrew doubles down on positional strategy by snagging Ty Simpson at 2.03, building a quarterback asset he can either start or flip for future capital.

The Dynasty Nerds College Show is back, and Garret Price, Jagger May, and Andrew Mott are breaking down their composite top ten running backs in this year's NFL Draft class. Spoiler alert: there's one unanimous number one, a clear top tier, and then a whole lot of questions.

Jeremiyah Love is the unanimous RB1 in this class and it isn't close. The crew compares him to Bijan Robinson as one of the best receiving backs any of them have scouted. Behind him, Mike Washington Jr., Jadarian Price, and Jonah Coleman form a clear second tier, though the hosts admit Washington carries the highest ceiling while Price offers the safest floor. Coleman's refusal to test at the combine left Garret scratching his head, dropping him from RB2 to RB4 on his personal board.

From RB5 on, this class is defined by uncertainty. Emmett Johnson boasts elite underlying metrics including a 39% Dominator Rating, the highest of any back discussed, but his combine testing raises red flags. Nick Singleton has the tools but not the technique. Kayron Allen, Le'Veon Moss, Demond Claiborne, and Jadyn Ott each carry their own unique set of questions, making this a draft class where landing spot and opportunity could matter more than prospect profile. Check the Dynasty Rankings before your rookie draft and stay sharp with the Rookie Big Boards as the class continues to take shape.

Welcome back into the Dynasty Nerds Podcast, where Garret Price is joined by Jagger May for a fast paced Superflex tight end premium startup mock with a third round reversal, and rookie picks included. The twist is simple. With only 30 seconds per selection, the guys are forced to make decisions in real time, react to ADP surprises, and explain how to stay flexible instead of drafting by a rigid script.

The biggest takeaway is the “play jazz” approach. Take what the board gives you, collect value, and do not force positions early. The room flies through elite anchors like Bijan Robinson and Josh Allen, then shifts into a debate over whether it is smarter to chase early quarterback security or lock in high end wide receiver scoring like CeeDee Lamb and Garrett Wilson.

As the draft gets deeper, the focus turns to win now builds and exploiting ADP pockets, including veterans like Baker Mayfield, Michael Pittman Jr., Davante Adams, and Mark Andrews. It is a real look at how contenders are built in March, and why the best drafters stay patient, then strike when the board makes a mistake.

We are now deep into offseason noise season, and Garret Price brings in Jagger May to sort out what actually matters. With Rich Dotson and Matt O’Hara out, the show turns into a real-time litmus test for free agency moves, especially the ripple effects that change dynasty values before rookie drafts.

The headline is Jaylen Waddle landing in Denver, and the guys break down what it means for Courtland Sutton and the rest of the receiver room. They also question how much this really changes the outlook for Malik Willis in Miami, since the Dolphins now have extra picks and feel locked into adding pass catchers in the draft.

From there, they pivot into teams most likely to add a real wide receiver, plus the “next tier” of teams where it is less certain. They also run through backfield winners and losers after moves involving Travis Etienne, Kenneth Walker, Tyler Allgeier, J.K. Dobbins, Kenneth Gainwell, and Rico Dowdle, with a blunt note on Trey Benson. The tight end segment closes it out with quick fantasy reactions to signings including Isaiah Likely, Daniel Bellinger, and Travis Kelce.

We are now getting to the time of year when dynasty league mates wake up, and this live trade show is built for that exact window. Garret Price and Andrew Mott take questions from the chat and Nerd Herd, then work through real deals with a clear theme: understand your window before you chase “needs.”

The guys open with a tier-based debate between Breece Hall and Kenneth Walker, and why a contender might lean one way while a long-term build leans the other. They also address noise like Justin Fields potentially vulturing goal line work, while keeping the focus on what actually changes projections.

The show hits bigger structure questions too, including whether 2027 picks are getting overpriced and when it makes sense to “zig” away from the market. There are also quick takes on moving for veterans like Mike Evans, Davante Adams, and Terry McLaurin, plus a sharp reminder that it is still March and you do not need to force a roster fix before the season is even close.

Jagger May is joined by Andrew Mott as they connect free agency fallout to draft needs, and it keeps coming back to one idea: do not force luxury picks when the roster still has clear holes.

The conversation hits teams that missed on Max Crosby and pivoted, including the “consolation” angle around Rashan Gary, plus how bringing back Javonte Williams impacts what a team can justify early. There is also a clear skepticism about overvaluing stopgap receivers as long-term answers, especially when a team still needs a real running mate for Malik Nabers.

The Jeremiyah Love debate shows up again, with pushback on trying to force a top-ten running back landing spot when several teams already have capable backs. Instead, the focus shifts to guards, corners, and roster construction. Washington’s needs are framed as “get offense,” while the tight end discussion ties Chigoziem Okonkwo to the Zach Ertz style role, and the Eagles angle leans toward finding answers at safety and interior line. The episode also touches teams like the Rams preparing for life after Matthew Stafford, the Vikings’ upside if they ever landed Love, and the 49ers’ urgency to protect Brock Purdy if Trent Williams becomes a real question.

In this episode, Jagger May is joined by Andrew Mott to rip through AFC free agency moves and what they change heading into the draft. The big theme is simple. Teams that helped the quarterback and the trenches now have the freedom to draft the best players instead of forcing a reach.

Buffalo grabbing D.J. Moore is the type of move that changes everything. Josh Allen finally gets real help, and now the Bills can focus on needs like left guard and slot corner instead of forcing a wideout early. Miami feels more like a reset year than a true push, with cap cleanup and physicality taking priority while the quarterback plan stays flexible.

New England lands Romeo Doubs and still looks trench-first, using the signing to avoid desperation at receiver and keep options open for value later. The Jets keep leaning defense after major secondary moves, while the Ravens debate is all about priorities. Do they chase an outside receiver, or fix corner and the offensive line first?

The episode closes with quick hits on the rest of the AFC, including Houston’s non-negotiable need to protect C.J. Stroud and the Chargers continuing to build through guard and edge so Justin Herbert is not running for survival.

Welcome to the Dynasty Nerds Fantasy Football Podcast, where we discuss dynasty strategy, rankings, and all things NFL. In this episode, Rich Dotson is joined by Garret Price and Matt O'Hara as they continue their rookie running back series and dig into a group of backs who could shape the middle rounds of rookie drafts.

Jonah Coleman gets the spotlight early as the “safe” profile. They like the compact power, reliable vision, and real three down utility thanks to pass protection and receiving ability. The big question is the top end speed, and they note how much testing could impact draft capital and landing spot.

Emmett Johnson brings production and real receiving volume, but the discussion centers on whether the athletic ceiling is high enough for more than a role player outcome. Jaydn Ott is a tougher eval, since the most relevant production is further back and the recent usage makes the projection messy.

They get noticeably more excited when they hit Mike Washington Jr., who flashes size, speed, and legitimate pass catching upside. The concerns are pass protection and ball security, plus the idea that the “value window” may be gone now that more people are caught up to him.

To close, Seth McGowan is framed as a unique late dart with NFL traits but plenty of red flags, while Kaelon Black is viewed as an older, average profile without a clear fantasy path.

Rich Dotson, Garret Price, and Matt O'Hara kick off Part 1 of their 2026 rookie running back breakdown with a blunt message. This class is thin, free agency already filled several backfields, and dynasty managers need to be careful chasing names just because the position looks desperate.

Jeremiyah Love sits alone at the top of this group, and the discussion centers on why the fantasy ceiling is built through the passing game. They highlight the movement skills, open-field timing, and route ability that could translate into real PPR volume, while still acknowledging the minor flaws that keep the profile from being “perfect.”

Once Love is off the board, the episode shifts into dart throw territory. Kaytron Allen gets credit for vision and reliability, but the lack of juice and limited receiving upside caps the dynasty ceiling. Demond Claiborne brings speed and twitch, but the show debates whether drops and ball security could keep him from earning consistent NFL touches. Adam Randall is the ultimate “traits and projection” swing, with a path that might be more creative usage than true every-down work. They also run through J'Mari Taylor and Robert Henry Jr. as deeper bets where the flashes are there, but the margin for error is tiny in a class that already feels like a tough bet.

Garret and Andrew go live by accident and roll straight into a rapid-fire dynasty reaction show as NFL free agency reshapes the 2026 landscape. From quarterback contracts to running back bags to sneaky value swings at tight end, the biggest takeaway is simple: the market is moving fast, and the dynasty “buy window” on some players is already closing.

They start with Malik Willis landing a three-year deal in Miami and explain why the rushing upside could create a short-term QB1 window, but also why this is now a “hold or sell” market, not a buy. At running back, Kenneth Walker in Kansas City gets framed as a splashy move with real upside, but enough role and durability questions to keep expectations in check. Travis Etienne gets the biggest bullish push as a volume bet in a friendly system, while JK Dobbins returning to Denver is treated as a loud signal that caps RJ Harvey optimism.

They hit the messy middle fast: Kenny Gainwell to Tampa Bay changes the conversation around Bucky Irving, while Rico Dowdle in Pittsburgh draws real excitement because of the coaching fit and role clarity. At wide receiver, Alec Pierce gets labeled as a price-inflated asset worth exploring as a sell, and the Wan’Dale Robinson versus Rashid Shaheed debate comes down to weekly PPR value versus spike-week appeal. They close with tight ends, including a small bump for Cade Otton, and a meaningful tier jump for Isaiah Likely if the Giants keep the target tree thin.

Jagger May and Andrew Mott break down best NFL fits for the 2026 rookie quarterback class, starting with the easiest call on the board and then working through a tier of prospects where development path matters more than immediate upside. They land on a clear QB1 destination, debate the most polarizing “where should he go?” fit, and round out the show with Day 3-style swings that need patience, structure, and the right staff to have any chance of becoming more than backups.

They kick off with Fernando Mendoza and make it simple. The Raiders are the best fit, and it is not close. They like the structure around him, the offensive environment, and how clean the transition feels from a roster-building standpoint. If there is one quarterback spot that feels locked in before draft night, this is the one.

From there, the conversation shifts into “who can actually develop” territory. Garrett Nussmeier gets framed as a top-three quarterback in the class, with a preferred fit that allows him to sit and grow rather than getting forced onto the field too early. The show also spends time on the biggest fit debate of the episode with Ty Simpson, with Andrew pushing the Rams as the ideal landing spot for a year or two of development behind a veteran, while Jagger defends a more aggressive “teams will trade and take their guy” view of how the first round can unfold.

They also place Carson Beck in the bridge-quarterback lane, and talk through why the right coaching environment could matter more than raw traits for Drew Allar, Cole Payton, Taylen Green, Cade Klubnik, and Diego Pavia, where the realistic goal is often “earn a roster spot and get time to develop” before anything else.

Garret Price, Jagger May, and Andrew Mott run a full one-round, 32-pick NFL mock draft built for chaos. This is not a fantasy mock. It is a true “every position counts” exercise where Combine buzz, roster needs, and team-building philosophy collide fast.

It starts the way most people expect, with the Raiders taking Fernando Mendoza at 1.01. From there, the draft leans heavily into premium value: edge, secondary, and trench help. The early run features the Jets grabbing Arvell Reese, the Cardinals building up front with Spencer Fano, and the Titans selecting David Bailey as a foundational defensive add.

By the time the Giants land Sonny Styles, the board is already setting up a key theme for the rest of the mock: teams that are not truly ready to win still have to decide whether to chase a “finishing piece” or keep stacking long-term pillars.

A major pivot point comes with the Commanders selecting Jeremiyah Love, which sparks the conversation about how early a team should take a running back. Later, the Chiefs land Carnell Tate, and the back half of the round becomes about fit and roster construction more than pure hype, including Mansoor Delane to the Dolphins, Caleb Downs to the Cowboys, and Jordyn Tyson to the Rams.

The late first round continues to load up on immediate contributors, with Makai Lemon, Zion Young, and Ty Simpson all coming off the board, before the mock closes with defenders and trench picks that could quietly matter a lot if the landing spots hit.
