Dynasty Roster Reviews + What Would You Do? - Dynasty Fantasy Football

[music] Welcome to the Fantasy Footmollers Dynasty Podcast with Borg Betts in the Baller. [music] Welcome in! You beautiful, beautiful people. It's Wednesday, June 24th here on the Fantasy Footmollers Dynasty Podcast. You got Borg Betts? Sorry, that's it. That's it. You know. Eventually, there will be a time where corporate cares. That was not that time. But Kyle, it is a beautiful day. June, I mean June 24th. Can you think of a better day to talk Dynasty Fantasy Footmollers? I personally cannot and I can't imagine not being here for this show. So I'm excited. We're going to break it down today. A little bit of a different show. We don't normally do something like this. I'll let you break down what today's show is going to be. But I'm excited to talk some Dynasty today. I was thinking about this before the show started. It's like, "Man, I haven't really made a Dynasty trade in a month." I looked in the mirror. I was wrong with me. So hopefully today we can talk through some ideas of how to improve rosters and make some moves. So you had the little bit of the itch that withdraws the crack head feeling? I need the dopamine hit, Kyle. Come on. It is just nice. If you're listening to us right now, just to feel alive, it's okay to press pause. Just fire off a trade. Just see what happens. Even if it's a little roulette with a draft pick, we do that in one of our leagues where there is somebody every single year in Dino Jr. that has traded their pick for somebody else just because they believe they will get a better pick. It's just the most outward bravado move. Just saying, "I think this is what your team's going to be. My team's going to be." It is backfired on them a lot. It's just fun to fire off a trade. On this episode, we are going to be talking roster reviews. How do you go about looking at your roster, identifying what season you're in? I'm a contender. I'm rebuilding. I don't know where I'm at. Then what are the moves that you should make? We'll go through the process. Betz has blindly sent me one of his rosters in a league I'm not in. He's giving me no context. We'll walk through that team together as an example. Then we will review rosters that the footclan has sent in. I think it should be really, really good. No matter where you're at or which team are. If you're one of those people you're in 30 different leagues, you probably have a team that has some overlap or you have questions about how to handle your roster. I think that's the, when I started in the baller's main dynasty league, I became Jeremy's co-manager. His biggest question is I don't know where to go with this team. I had to hold his hand. I had to put him on my back. Classic. I'll. I just put us in the right direction. Now look at us. Pukin, JSN. Now who made those picks? You or was it Jeremy? Well, I picked up Puka. Okay. And then JSN was the pick because we didn't get B-john. So you're consolation press. You tell me who's who's the caption of this ship? I mean, I would give you credit for that. Jeremy, I mean, the guy doesn't know ball. I mean, if we're being honest, come on. Come on. The guy that's editing this very podcast. Yeah, he's listening right now. Okay. Well, that's, that's fine. So we'll go through some of that. We'll do some roster reviews. It should be good. But in the spirit of roster reviews, I thought I would do this for us. Review a source, Rex. We used to do this all the time on the main podcast. And I don't, I mean, if you've been a long time listening to the Facebook followers, you understand the review review of a source, Rex, drop. Because Jason would get to read a review in the early days of the podcast. And I was like, you know what? We never use this drop. We never get to do it. So I think the dynasty podcast is where I get to kind of bring those back. And we just get to read a review. If you're one of those people that this podcast has brought you some joy or some life, we never asked for any of those things. But we thought, like, hey, this would be a good time in the middle of summer to read a review. So I'm going to let bets kind of be the Jason. Oh, no, pressure is on. So I'm actually going to hit the drop again so you can get into the ultimate mode. Okay. And read this review, which is from Apple podcast. Let's do it again. Review us or as Rex. This one comes in from Nick Dino on Apple podcast. Love the host of the show. Borg bets and a baller. Borg's always willing to share good dynasty data. Bet's always good for a laugh and injury information and can't wait for the next host. Some guy named Felix. How's that? That's good. You did pretty well. You got the cadence. Correct. This one comes in. I mean, Jason's man. I used to love that. That is like one of those that like, you know, nobody really remembers those. But just hearing the drop made me think back to like that phase of my life when I found ballers and everything. Like, it's nostalgic. So I'm glad I'm glad you did that. Kyle. Yeah, you can actually go back and find the time that Brooks's review got read on the podcast. And then he became, you know, a 10 plus year employee has been with the company for a long time. So it's pretty cool. But if you want to leave us a review on Apple podcast or Spotify, we'd really appreciate it. And we really like doing the show with you guys for you guys in this episode will definitely be a foot clan centric. Last little thing I want to share before we get into our quick question ultimate draft kit.com if you want our rankings projections dynasty startup rankings, which we will be referring to on this episode. And like right in front of me at all times when I need to check a projection. I literally just go in the app. And I got to see this morning like how many targets do we have Alec Pierce projected for in the ultimate draft. And I got to see the average and then I got to ask the question like man almost 100 targets has anybody ever jumped from. You know, being a 40 catch guy to seeing 100 plus targets in a season and becoming a wider saber one. So I did all the math for that. We'll talk about him later. But ultimate draft kit.com if you want to see all of that. Our quick question is from GT bulls 48 and it's a question about Jeremiah love. His question is I took Jeremiah love at the 101 in my rookie draft and now every fantasy person I hear is throwing shade on the Cardinals team in the crowded Cardinals backfueled. What can we inspect expecting your one and beyond for Jeremiah love. So that is true when you hear Cardinals discussion generally the consensus opinion is the team will probably not win a lot of games. They're not projected to score a ton of actual points from a touchdown perspective. And so when I think about that to me that's a redraft idea right and and I see like you want these guys to hit in your one. But if you know that that is the expectation going in because well they have a 4 1/2 win total they got the hardest schedule in the league. They don't really have a quarterback like obviously you could see the ceiling being capped for this team and therefore for Jeremiah love. But if you know that in dynasty then your value of him shouldn't really change as long as he has a good to great rookie year. Now last year we saw a genty on a bad team. It was a frustrating season but you would never like genties the problem genty sucks like it's over for genty now entering your two like he's in redraf. He's going as the exact same spot he was last year basically because you know what he can do as a player and you know how talented he is. And Jeremiah love the question is not talented is just scheme and surrounding situation and play calling and all those sort of things that we should have question marks about in redraft. I'm kind of lukewarm on Jeremiah love in dynasty nobody should be worried at all about Jeremiah love is my opinion because when you think about. We mentioned Felix in the review of source Rex the talent level that Jeremiah love is I don't want people to forget about that obviously gets the elite elite draft capital and I went back to Jason's Felix model looked at the running backs in his database with a 90% and tell sport or better it is jimmy or gives as equal Elliott Jeremiah love beach on Robinson sake one christian McCaffrey action genty learn from that I mean those are those the stars of fantasy over the last eight plus years right like these guys are so so good so yes it could be frustrating yes you might see some here yes the car knows you're going to be trailing a lot but when you think about what this offense could be in what Jeremiah love is value is going to be in 2027 and beyond I'm not worried whatsoever I think an interesting comp of kind of like how this could go in your one. To running backs that shared similar situations as rookies beach on obviously with tile out here which is interesting comp out year stole 186 carries that season we were all frustrated with be John it's like man when it one of the the most you know they were doing the whole title of the goal line type thing I think that's possible the other one that came to mind is 2017 in Carolina with Christian McCaffrey is a rookie Jonathan Stewart now that's a throwback stole 198 carries so if tell our year at the end of the season we look up and we're like yep he took 175 carries in July Jeremiah love I wouldn't be surprised by that in fact I think that's kind of the expectation so for me I think the ceiling is captain your one but this is a player that I feel very very good about in the next two to five years will post multiple top 10 top eight fantasy type seasons and potentially be one of those outlier difference makers so yes there is stink on the cardinals I think it's very fair it's very warranted but this player is so talented the production profile was so good and the draft capital is basically the best you can get running back. Yeah the beach on one it is obviously a fun comp with algera there that he finishes RB nine that year 12.8, fantasy points per game, 300 opportunities. It wasn't like blowing the doors up because he only had four rushing touchdowns. He did add four through the air. So if you got an RB 9 season out of Jeremiah love this year, you should be ecstatic about that in terms of where the context of the team is, the quote unquote crowded backfield. So I think the expectations just need to be like temperate of what you could get. But I do have a stat every single running back that was drafted in the top 10 of the NFL draft. You listed pretty much every single one. If you want to go back further like Trent Richardson, Todd Gurley, like all of these guys that were top 10 picks, may not have been very good for building your NFL team. All right. I think you and I would both agree like don't do that. But they all finished as an RB 1 for fantasy as a rookie. So it could be that love ends up like right outside this. Let's say he ends up as a top 15 running back. It's still really, really good. But the average amount of opportunities was almost 21 per game last year. We only saw six running backs average 21 plus opportunities per game. Even if he's a little below that, let's say that he ends up around 18 opportunities per game. That's what Beige on Saul as a rookie. We need to realize that. And my last little point, all the teams you mentioned, teams that took running backs in the top 10, they were bad. Those were bad teams because they were building their teams in an interesting way. And then on top of that, it's like they were picking there because their team makeup overall was not great. The only team in this list that turned things around very quickly was Dallas when they took his Eq Elliot because they also happened to get Dak Prescott in the fourth round and get really, really lucky. So the Cardinals will be a slow build. I think it's fine for you able to say that. But I don't I'm just not panicking about the team situation and holding that against him in some way that's like, okay, well, I should punish myself for taking this running back because he's on a bad team. Yeah, I also think too when you think back to rookie drafts, like nobody was debating the 101 this year. And it's because he was that talented in the draft capital was that elite with Jeremiah love. And obviously when you do your rookie draft, 98% of dynasty leagues like it's after the NFL draft, you knew he was taking on the Cardinals. You know what the Cardinals are going to be this year. So just kind of understanding that, I'm not wavering at all, obviously. And so yes, we kind of agree the ceiling is probably captain year one, but man, the future is very rare. Yeah, just to dispel any fears you have about players like go in the ultimate draft kit. Look at our projections. Like you can see on the player, card player profile. You can see a full video from any Mike and Jason, but there's a projection tab there and for Jeremiah love, the consensus projection between R three guys is 229 rush attempts, which is fine. It's not super great, but 52 targets. So right there, you're seeing over 280 opportunities. Like that's very solid for any running back in the NFL and somebody that's in a crowd of backfield over 1400 combined yards and nine total touchdowns. If you got those numbers, I know this is a projection. You would be very happy with him and, you know, in your rookie drafts and in dynasty. Now, redraf might be a different conversation depending on how high he goes. But right now we haven't projected as our running back 15. I think we're probably a little lower on 20, 26, then maybe some other people, but the end of the day, like this feels like an easy top 15 running back that you should be excited about. Yeah, for sure. I got nothing else to add. I'm with you. Okay, cool. Let's take quick break and then we will jump right in. So bets mentioned a little bit earlier that, you know, we're doing a little bit of a different episode. A lot of times we'll go through player takes where we'll discuss different team environments. We wanted to make sure that people were able to look at their roster, whatever season they're in and kind of identify like this is the core parts of my team. Here's what I should do moving forward. So after all of our discussion, if you're like, hey, I still don't know, you know, what to do. We will have an article on the website that's called five questions to consider for your team. Dynasty roster reviews and then here's a big plug. Our ballers discord channels actually do this all the time. They have roster review nights where people actually get to submit their rosters and then you have people kind of comb through everything about your team, your draft capital, you know, your bench, everything else in your team and be able to kind of articulate, hey, here's what you should do. Here's what you could do. Have you thought about trading this player and you can go through that. So I really highly recommend our discord channels. I'm looking right now at our dynasty super flex one and I saw some questions in there today. So anything you want to say about the discord before I hit the drop. No, I just think it's a great place to go, especially if you're looking for a objective and non-biased take on your team because I know half the time when I look at my rosters, I'm trying to be objective and not have bias, but at the same time, I want to see each player's outlook through the best possible situation and what could be. But we have to understand that's obviously not the case. So yeah, always good to get the wisdom of the crowds, get some advice. Those are fun. Those those roster views are good. All right, let's jump in. Dynasty download. So the way he's going to work is we have five questions for you to consider looking through your team and Betts has submitted to me a roster of his in one of his super flex dynasty leagues that I'm not a part of. So I don't know the context of this league. He's submitting a roster. We're going to kind of talk through that one. And then at the end, we will go through some examples that the foot clan submitted. But the first question I'm going to ask and you can kind of talk through it for your own team, Betts. We'll discuss your roster is you have to ask the question for your dynasty team. What is the season of your team? Are you a contender, a rebuilder, or are you just playing clueless? Are you unsure? And that's okay. Like it's better to say that you're unsure than identifying your team as a rebuilder or contender and you're like the opposite. I almost put the word pretender, which would have been way better. The SEO would have hit. Kind of come on, dude. Missed it. I could be better. But you kind of got to understand the season of your team. And I I'm just going to say right now, I really like the word seasonality. Oh, it's and this is like, this is like outside of football world. Like what season of life are you in? Like for us, like we have young kids and right now the season I'm in is called Summer of Baseball every single day. I'm pretty much messaging Betts and say I'm at the baseball field. So you kind of have to understand what season you're in and understand that stuff. But like your team before looking at anything else, what would you say your team is at and tell me why? This team, I love this team. This team is a defending champion. But come on Kyle, we should probably tell people who's on the roster. But the reason I submitted this one for us to talk through is because it feels like it's been a playoff team for I think the last three years in a row. I'm coming off of a championship. And so I want to talk through it because it feels like I'm hanging on. And like do I have like one more year left kind of as a true contender? Is it kind of squeezed two years out of this thing or is it like dude if a couple of things go wrong? Like you could be you could be too late past the selling window on some of these players. So that's why I want to talk through it because it's easy to be like this team is incredible. Let's just keep doing this. But at the same time, I'm kind of self-scatting this team being like I'm not sure if I'm one year past the optimal window to potentially get some value. But again, coming off a championship last year, it was obviously a good season. Yeah, so this four team league man congrats. I mean that's big stuff. 16s dude. Come on. Show us some respect. All right. So it looks like you as a superflex league start to run you back start three wide receivers to tie in two flex. And then I see taxi squad on here as well. So anything else you want to say about the format scoring anything else? No, it's just standard half PPR. No tight end premium or anything like that. But superflex and like you said three wide receivers, which I think is fine. And the two flexes. I'm always a huge fan of those types of formats. Just gives you more starters to work with more strategy. So yeah, otherwise pretty regular in 12 teams. 12 teams. Okay. So we'll work through this team because my second question after you first guess what season you're in. So it seems like you're like should I hang on for one more run here? Do I need to start rebuilding or thinking about some of those pieces? I think a lot of people are in that spot. I was like I'm trying to figure out like do I want to go forward again? Who do I need to trade off? The second question I have is who is the core of your team? You're three to five best players. If you can identify who those are. And then I have some questions from there that can kind of like identify like, Hey, compared to the rest of your league, like I think you're kind of behind here. So at quarterback, you have Josh Allen and then your other quarterbacks are Jared Goff Aaron Rodders and Jalen Milro. That's that's that's a take there. That's death maybe. At running back, it looks like you have CMC RJ Harvey, David Montgomery, Jalen Warren and then your backups have Jordan Mason, Jordan James and James Conner. So the Jordan's and the James, you got all those dudes together. White receiver seems to be the strength of your team with Ammon Raw, Nico Collins, Devonta Smith, which I love as a White receiver three. And then it kind of drops off there. So that's that's interesting. We'll talk about some of those other guys. At Titan, you have Harold, Fanon Jr. Isaiah, likely Mark Andrews, Hunter Henry. So you're a Titan, you're fine. So who would you say is like the core of your team? Well, it's interesting because if you have what I've asked me that two years ago, Christian McAfry would like obviously be the name that you start with as a contender or coming off of a win. I'm still considering him crucial to this team obviously, if I want to repeat. So I would say right now, Josh Allen, obviously, Christian McAfry. I'm on our same brown as a foundational water seeker and then I would even include Nico in that range as well as a potential. I know people don't view him that way, but I still think the talent is there if she can kind of bounce back. So I would say like that that group, Josh Allen, Christian McCaffrey, I'm on our same brown and Nico have been my my mainstays for the last couple of years. You also have Jordan Tyson who is conveniently on your taxi squad just to show off to me just to show me that you've got a stud there. So that's right. Other than that, your young guys Antonio Williams and then just some other shots in the dark here. And then at draft picks, you don't have a first round or a third round next year. The first round pick, if I recall correctly was in a Christian McCaffrey deal a few years back if I recall correctly, but yes, that is currently one of the things I'm working through is like are there veterans on the squad that it's time to try to get back that 2027 first. So we'll see. So if you're working through who the core is of your team, your three to five, it might be really easy for you to just say like, okay, well, this is what you know, I should do. There are websites out there that rank your teams. And I know in our discord, people use different websites out there. There's one called dynasty daddy league terminals and other one. But before someone, I just want to give this advice before someone tells you how you should rank your team, I think we should all figure out like in our gut. This is what I think about my team because that actually carries a pretty heavy weight as you go about your team. So just think about that right down your three or five, three to five best players. But here's the questions I want to consider and ask you that I wrote in this article. If you are in a super flex league, bets, do you feel like you have two of the top 15 quarterbacks? Obviously, Josh Allen. I think golf is probably outside the top 15. I haven't looked at our rankings recently and then obviously Rogers is I had a injury in season last year where I was like, I need another quarterback. I'm going to send a third for Rogers. And I honestly thought last year's my last year. So the fact that he was back, I was like, all right, sweet quarterback three. So no, I don't think I have two top 15 quarterbacks. Yeah, I was looking at golf in our startup rankings. He's just outside of that. Now I don't think you look at golf as like, this is a weak part of my team. I think you would probably say overall, like I'm fine with him as my QB two, but you're probably also looking this roster in a super flex and saying like, man, the bottom could fall out of this QB two, QB three spot on my roster. And I would love to be able to find somebody the next year or two to plug that hole for sure. And that's the tricky part with not having a 27 first next year is that with it being a projected strong quarterback class, that's that's the scary proposition right now. Yeah, I mean, for me, golf, like I'm like you said, I'm actually excited to have him as a quarterback to and super flex because they'll have those spec weeks. They'll have those quarterback one weeks. But if something should happen to him, like I don't feel confident starting here in Rodgers, obviously, every week in super flex. So the quarterback two, three combo here for me is a little dicey. All right. So first, you want to look at your quarterbacks and ask do you have two of the top 15? We just did that at running back. Do you have any top 10 running backs in a dynasty startup? What would you say in a dynasty startup? I think the cafe is now outside of that range. Obviously in redraf, he's still being a first round pick. So no, not in dynasty. Yeah. So like looking at Betz's team and you could look at your own and just looking at it from a if I was building a team, I would not take Christian McCaffrey as a top 10 running back. So you know what the window is for this player. And so you're treating this team and kind of asking the question as you're building a roster and figuring out the next year or two is like, what am I going to do with this guy? Because he feels like a ticking time bomb. But I also have a bomb in my hand that could literally like destroy my entire league. And you did that last year, right? Like, I mean, so you're kind of looking at that. Your other running backs in the roster, RJ Harvey, David Montgomery, Jalen Warren. Talk to me about where you're at with that. This team is super interesting because I've had McCaffrey on the team as well through some of the the calf saga of recent seasons in the season where that was developing. And it was like the week before the season started. Remember we got the news about Christian McCaffrey. I traded for Jordan Mason. So that's why Jordan Mason is on the squad as a former 49er. And then James Conner was on and kind of aged out. I missed the window to trade him. So like my depth that running back is not good. I feel like relative to consensus I've been higher on in general over the last two to three years. So there were guys I was able to scoop up for cheaper in trade value to get them as depth pieces and then have been fortunate that Warren's run out has been pretty clean to have an actual path of I would say like flex value every week. And then Montgomery, those awesome RB two seasons in Detroit. Again, kind of lucky to have him leave Detroit and get traded to a situation where we project him as the bell cow. And obviously you can talk to the age concerns there, but like the situation from a workload standpoint got better considering he was basically bench last year. And then RJ Harvey to be truthful with you was a guy I took in last year's late first round. But I wasn't even like excited about it was just like at the point of the draft for I was like, I guess I'm hopping on board the RJ Harvey train. And so yeah, a fortunate run out for that situation based off of his touchdown count from the rookie season. He was a guy was desperately trying to trade away actually throughout you know, February March, April and there were no takers in the sleep. It's a pretty sharp league. It's some writers and other industry folks like everybody kind of knew the efficiency stuff wasn't great. The touchdown rate is going to regress. Luckily they draft during the Coleman. It's like, okay, I guess at this point I'm just riding it out with RJ Harvey. And maybe there's going to be a window where this changes. But right now he is penciled in as a potential RB three ish type guy. It's funny looking at rosters like this because that pick could have easily been Caleb Johnson in your rookie draft. I think if I recall correctly, I think he would one pick ahead. Yeah, I mean, they were pretty much back to back in rookie draft. So yeah, I think you've squeezed some good life out of that RJ Harvey pick and fortune on the run out. But I guess what I've noticed is that beyond 2027 CMC RJ Harvey, Dave Montgomery, Jalen Warren. It's scary. You could go from having four run in max to maybe having one and a half. Yeah. So that's why I think this team is like it's such a crucial kind of point in the life of this team of the next three or three years to decide like, all right, 2027 doesn't matter. I'm in for this year and we're going for it or like it's time to to recoup some value. Yeah. So my first two questions about quarterbacks and running backs. You have failed. You have failed miserably. That seems sucks. All right. But next to you, I think you're going to crush. So if you're looking at the core of your team and you're asking these questions about quarterbacks, running backs at wide receiver, you just have to simply ask, do I have multiple wide receiver show up in the core of my team? And I mean like multiple high in wide receiver. So if you list your three to five best players and you don't have two probably three wide receivers show up in that list, then your team is probably not built in a way that you want in dynasty to truly, you know, expand really, really, really, really go. So looking at your team, you have Almanra, you have Niko, you have Dvon to Smith. Jordan Tyson. Yeah. It's, it's a lot. It's, it's a good roster, dude. I'm, I'm not going to lie. I'm, I'm kind of jealous of that squad. And this is like, you guys all will do that dynasty startup and everybody made fun of me because I didn't draft running backs. Like this is truly how I like to build my teams is through these elite wide receivers. So yeah, that off obviously makes sense of how I build teams. The other thing about this team, it's funny is this is a Cooper Cup team who is basically just there for the vibes at this point. But this was the guy that was on the team when he had the amazing season back in what 2021 I believe it was. And just I couldn't, again, I guy I couldn't flip. I'm like, I'm trying and I'm just stuck holding the bag. So he's on the squad. And then one no Robinson is like a totally fine wide receiver five slash six in my opinion. For dynasty formats, especially in the three wide receiver league like there were times I was starting one day on a consistent consistent basis last year. Oh man, we never get to do this. I'm really, I'm going to have to stop when we're doing we never ever ever get to do this in the middle of a dynasty episode, but I got to do it. Breaking news. The NFL has informed teams that it will not be holding a supplemental draft, meaning Texas Tech quarterback, Brennan source, we will not be eligible to enter the NFL in 2026. I'm really glad we committed about 25 minutes last week, last week, the talking through what to do in your rookie drafts, what to do in your fab budget. So does he just he can you go back to college? How does this work? He's probably going to be selling insurance. I don't know what to mean. I mean, let's be honest. That's what the quarterbacks they end up like working at the local car dealership in the city that they were at. Geez, man. That's crazy. So we're reacting to this news live. We had a whole episode. I mean, I'm looking at the title of our dynasty episode this past week and it was called talent opportunity, the source be situation. So that's that's really really interesting. I do like that we gave the caveat of on a talent level. Here's where we're at. We're not buying that part. Yeah, it's like leagues are like, oh, okay. Well, never mind. That doesn't matter at all. She's that's crazy. I don't know. We haven't seen. I mean, you guys find out before we do the reason for them just canceling supplemental draft. But wild. Okay. Well, act like it never happened. None of this ever happened. If you missed last week's episode, go back. Definitely fast forward. Just go right through it. All right, so we were talking to your team, talking to the core of your team, and we got distracted because we're, you know, recording in the middle of our workday and this is what happened. So your team does have a lot of wide receivers, a lot of wide receiver firepower and then it's nice to see Jordan Tyson in the group too of like, hey, I've got this over the next couple of years. So do you feel the temptation of, because you have this many wide receivers, that if you are gonna go for it, you are tempted to trade one of your best assets to be able to level up somewhere else. I don't think so, because I feel like this team could potentially still compete and be at top, I would say 14 in the league, even with the running backs that I have because those wide receivers are so strong and because this team is like, basically relying on Christian McCaffrey, like a McCaffrey happens to go down, it's probably over. So I'm approaching it that way where it's like, if I can turn in one of these wide receivers into, I don't know, another RB2 type, long term to me that feels like a loss, where I'd be like chasing a potential repeat in 2026, but at the same time, as I've already mentioned, this team feels very top-heavy and somewhat fragile. And so I personally would not be trying to trade away any of these wide receivers, because I think they're foundational pieces to a rebuild. Like I want, I'm on the rebuild, I want Jordan Tyson on this rebuild, if I happen to go that route. So for me, I probably would not be trying to do that. - All right, so you check the box for the wide receiver question. The other question about Titans is do you have a positional advantage? Do you feel that at the Titan position with Harold Fanej Jr.? - A positional advantage? Like when I think about that, I think of Brock Bauer's Tramik Bride, maybe Colson Lovelin, maybe Tyler Warren. I'm thrilled with the Harold Fanej. - You had a home run in your rookie draft. - Right, and I think I got him with the early third in this rookie draft, towards like, man, if what he did is a rookie, you get in the third, even if the rest of his year, he kind of like fizzles out. You hit, right? Like this is incredible. So it's three guys. Like I could see myself starting, fan in Mark Andrews as they are likely, but I don't feel like I have an advantage. - I think that compared to the rest of your league, you are ahead because you got to use draft capital that you didn't really care about, a third round pick, in a way that really helps your team. He's also one of the youngest Titans in the league. Like looking at our dynasty start rankings, Kenyans, Cedique, 21.3 years old, and then it's Harold Fanej. As the next youngest Titan, and he's already played a year. So I think at the end of the day, like people feel like, man, I'm behind the ball at Titan because I don't have powers in McBride. I feel like if you have a core, and you have a young piece that you feel excited about, that you can project for 23, 24% of the targets, that's pretty good. So why do receivers in Titan? I feel like you're really set quarterback, you have Josh Allen, so you could really almost win any single week. I think Jared Goff is fine. I think running backs is really the situation. You're trying to figure out, am I about to age out of this, and kind of not be able to compete moving forward, which leads me to my next question. Because I think everybody can identify the core of their team, their three to five best players, and you can compare them to our rankings if you want. I think what people are really asking is who on my team is going to level up this year, or level up in the next couple of years. And by level up, I mean, like, here was the expectation, and I think they could take it a step further. I think they can grow in their opportunity. I think there's room for them to gain value, but there's a big difference I wrote this down between, I believe this player could level up and I need this player to level up for my team. And I find that a lot from rosters is like, I'm really hoping this player will level up when it's like, "Ah, you're counting on this guy to be your White receiver three." And like for you, looking at your roster, looking at your White receivers, it's like you could have said that a year or two ago about Xavier Leguet, who was just barely holding on to your roster, but you're not counting on him at all. If he levels up, if he did this past year, sweet. You're playing with house money, you're not counting on him to be that player, but there probably were people last couple years looking at him or you have Tank Dell on this team, where you're like, "I need Tank Dell to take this step," and he gets hurt. I need Leguet to be the White receiver one before Tedero and Mimilin shows up and he didn't do it. So on your roster, who would you say you are hoping levels up? - I put down a couple of names here and the one that I feel most convicted on, like I hope this happens, we talked through this player recently on a show, Isaiah likely where I was like, I don't, we've been waiting for the breakout, right? We've been waiting for the Mark Andrews to go away situation to happen and it unfolded differently than we thought it would, but he is the starter and he's the projected leader of the Titan Room in New York now. And so it's like, man, if what we've been waiting for actually comes to fruition, then I do think I have a huge advantage at a Titan. If he doesn't, any kind of falls back into like every other Titan, not names, you know, the top three or four guys in the league and he's just a replaceable asset on your squad, then I don't think I have that advantage. So he's a name that I put down. I put Isaac Tesla on here as well as a guy that, like if he happens to level up, I'd be excited about that because when I took him in a rookie draft, it wasn't like, okay, this guy's gonna be on my team for a while and he's gonna be a starter. It was like, the Lions know what they're doing, Brad Holmes on a heat track, like let's just see what happens here. So for me, like those two would be key. The other name though that really is a big, big factor, is Tank Dell, right? Cause it's like, I had him the rookie year and I was like, man, I've got Nico and Tank Dell, I'm gonna live forever. So you know, he's a rookie, this is great, these guys are incredible. And then of course the catastrophic injury happens and nobody's trading for Tank Dell last year. So I just, he sat on my roster and, you know, I looked at him every day, sad, but now I have a chance where it's like, hey, if he can regain any form, if he can level up to 80% of what he used to be, like I'll have a flex type player on my roster that I literally wasn't counting on at all. And in that scenario, like maybe it would make one of these ancillary or secondary wide receivers expendable in a trade to upgrade or any back. So like, if those couple of things can happen, I'll have better trade value for sure from guys like I say, likely in Tank Dell. I'm potentially even Tesla. - Man, I just, Mike and I were talking through Tank Dell earlier today because we saw a report, it's the first person we've seen report this, but they basically were projecting the roster for the Texans, a local person, and they had him on the cut list. - Oh, for real? - The hardest part is they were talking about it. He doesn't have a special team's role. - Yeah. - So there's that. And then they basically drafted his replacement in Jalen Noel, who I think is probably at this point just a younger, healthier player. So that was part of it, but we'll see. We're rooting for Tank Dell. I have them on a team too. Funny enough, I had Nico on that team as well. - It's funny how that works out. While we're talking Tank Dell, just for folks out there that kind of forget like his injury was one of those catastrophic type ones where it's like, if he can even come back and play in games again, that in and of itself is a win, in my opinion from medical perspective. So by no means am I counting on Tank Dell to become a wide receiver to in fantasy or something like that that we had hoped maybe we could see after his rookie year. I think those outcomes are gone. If he can be a functional complimentary piece to the Texans offense, they and he should consider that a huge win based off how serious his knee injury was. So it's an uphill battle. And like you said, with the investments in last year's real NFL draft with Jayden Higgins and Jaylen Noel where they kind of just double taps the wide receiver there, I think it tells us a lot about what they think about his potential future. So it's tough. You know, I'm rooting for the guy and obviously we love him, but it's a really serious injury. - Also, it's just my man, the injury prone label just needs to be thrown out the door for him because both of his major injuries were friendly fire from Damien Pierce rolling up on his leg. - Right, remember that. - And then Jared Wayne, random wide receiver. - Come on Jared. - That also took him out too. So his own teammates were the cause of both of his long injuries, which stinks. But if you are trying to find players and your team that you hope level up, like you got to ask yourself some questions, you got to ask yourself, you got to one move from like, I just hope this and here's what I hope Isaac Tesla is to actual counting fantasy numbers. And so like our projections for Tesla are not can be very strong, maybe Mike's look a little bullish 'cause he wants it. But you got to ask yourself, what's the most likely outcome, what is the best case scenario for this player in their draft capital? And then looking at my team, do I need Isaac Tesla to come through for this team? Like I don't think you need him. - No, certainly not. - Yeah. Or his role on your team is a second flex that I get to throw in there and plus matchups and at home that I hope we're gonna be high scoring and we hope he catches the touchdown. That's his role. So I did get some responses from the foot clan of people that they're hoping level up this year for their squad. So I quickly found the ones that people were labeling the most and I want you to kind of quickly react. You don't have to give a long analysis. But the most common answer was Roma Dune's day. - I feel that, I think everybody feels that, right? It's like former top 10 NFL draft pick, we've seen flashes and you can tell yourself, excuse us to why it has or has or has not happened yet. But man, the love for Luther Burton and Colson Loveland is legit and the love for Roma Dune's day is kind of watered down. - Yeah, Marv. I have, I'm so tired talking about Marv for the last two years, man. My genuine opinion, I don't think it's happening. - Oh no. - I'm happy to, I am so happy to be wrong about that. But it's like people kind of talk about Marv as if he hasn't had a chance. It's like this is an every down player who's always on the field. He has had all of the chances. And. Eh. Will you just talk about your three workouts all the time, right? Yeah. It could happen. Oh, it could totally happen. But if you're counting on Marv to be anything more than your wider super three, I think that might be wishful thinking. I agree with that. I think I just think tempering expectations as to what is the most likely situation to happen this year. To me, it's like, okay, cool. He was the wider super 26. Like not dead on my roster, can start him. But like anybody hoping that what you were getting when he was a top five NFL draft pick, I don't think we're getting that. Man, I took Marv ahead of neighbors in a league. And then it just slowly, my roster turned over where it goes. Oh, I don't even need Marv. Like I forget that Marv is on my roster sometimes. I think he's my five. So do the Cardinals. I think I think so. Ernesto on X said, I have way too much stock in Travion Henderson for him to not become a stud. I need him to level up. Yeah, people were very excited about Travion. Me included. And I still think that player is there. But it's like, unfortunately, Ramondra was, I don't know if he's so good, but good enough and out produce expectations that he's not just going to go away, right? So like Travion's going to have to have to level up to take over that lead role. I've seen this answer a lot and I think it was a really good one. Byshall Tuton is a name that I think a lot of people are hoping levels up. So let's say he is your RB two this year. The ceiling, I think, case is like this guy could be like a top 12 running back this year if things break right. The floor is that he's in a committee and he can't be the guy and you've counted on somebody to be your RB two. Like, this is one of those maker break moments for a player like that. How are you hint? Do you have him anywhere? I don't. I have him in Dino Jr. and I took him in the third round last year and like I was hoping that last year he would be the right answer to the question we all asked all summer who's going to be here for the jaguars and of course it was Travis H. Am. I have considered putting him on the block and just seeing like how much excitement is there for this guy because I wouldn't be surprised if he's the dude in the top 15 option. I wouldn't be shocked if it's a full blown committee and he's like fine, but you're not winning your lead because of him. You know what I mean? So he's a guy that I think is really fascinating and I see. I think that there's a moment with Bichel Tune if you're rebuilding which your team is correct in that league. Yes and no. I mean it's I would say yes. I'm he's not a must hold to me like if you're in the middle or you feel like you're you know if you don't feel like you're a contender. I would say I'm in the middle but last year I really went for the rebuild and so I feel like I'm like one more year away from coming back. I feel like Tune would be one of those guys a month into the season his value skyrockets. People think that they have this you know RB1 and then you're able to trade him for a first or start of training camp. Crod is still not fully you know in drills because he's coming off the foot and the headline is going to be Bichel Tune got the the first carry with the ones or you know whatever it's going to be. I think I think this is a type of player that you can capitalize in the trademark it because of the offseason hype and the training camp hype. All right a couple more players that people want to level up. This one's from Raymond Cameron the third. He said a pair of guys who get plenty of press signed extensions but I've rarely made my line up outside of buys and injury issues is Christian Watson and Jalen cocker. I love this is a great response. This is a good response. Yes Christian Watson. I think he can level up. I know Mike thinks he can level up. I know you are praying he does not level up. If he was my wide receiver. You would love the victory left this. If he was my wide receiver for I'm happy for that. I think what we're counting on a lot of people is him to be a two. Like not even just like a fun three that you throw on your lineup and hope that you get a long bomb touched and like I think people are assuming that I end up being a wide receiver two for your team. Yeah I think that's probably accurate at least based off like redraft hype with him but there's a good chance if you have him you've either written it out through the injuries and frustrations or were able to get him on the cheap because of injury frustrations and so perhaps your depth is better and he can be that kind of boom in your flex. I think that's a that's a really fun point that maybe we need to have an episode to talk about the strategy behind it of if you have a player and we thought let's say Christian Watson. You might hear somebody say like I'm in or out on Christian Watson but the cost of what he was to your team is very different team to team and dynasty like you just said like for sure if you drafted Christian Watson or you traded for Christian Watson and you've gone through this kind of up and down then it feels very different than the person that just got him on the cheap and it's like hey I need him to be my wider receiver five this is awesome for my team I could say it's just different so when we talk about players I always think about those things. Jalen Coker though like this is an undrafted free agent I'm assuming you haven't been counting on this player but you got to be ecstatic that he got an extension I mean I'm sure you were showing that to everybody in your league I think he could have a top 36 fantasy season and be a guy that you're playing your flex I'm down with that Richie said Isaac Tesla and Trey Harris I thought those are interesting names he also said but more realistic Josh downs I think people are counting on Josh downs to level up I think so too the the cost and trades has gone up the startup cost has gone up so yeah I think people are are hoping and and counting on it to happen I know I'm excited about what could be but we'll see all right one more here this one's from at ff hitman what a laser I know responded in said a mic said for his team Pat Bryant Isaac Tesla and Kyle Williams Mike got bad news for your brother one of those teams just traded the first for Jalen bottle we already talked about Tesla and the other team traded for a Jarebrow so good luck buddy which of those guys would you most want dynasty Tesla hmm that's tough I think Pat Bryant could be maybe the heir apparent to Quentin Sutton but like it's gonna take a couple years you know all three of those guys were drafted in the third round of the 20s 25 NFL draft in a year later we're both looking at we're looking to all three of them like I mean sure I mean Tesla feels like free money he feels like a fun lottery ticket the other two feel like they've been passing the depth chart and it's hard to see a role so I thought there could be a little glimmer for Kyle Williams to play in the slot but maybe that doesn't really matter anymore so let's hit quick break and we'll move forward all right we're almost at the point of reviewing a couple more rosters but just to recap our five questions to consider number one what is the season of your team number two what is the core of your team number three who are you hoping levels up on your team this year and the fourth question is what are the needs of your team and I just wrote these down really quickly no matter who you are you probably need more running backs I think every single person would agree and you talked about those four running backs on your team do you feel like you need to find another running back in your mix you have McCaffrey Harvey Montgomery and Jalen Warren as your top guys what I would like to do is potentially see what happens really in the season and capitalize on whatever that is like some sucker in the league just a bunch of suckers man if RJ Harvey has a hot start to the year I would love to capitalize on that and flip him if Dave Montgomery is getting 18 carriers of game in the first month of the year I would love to capitalize on flipping on that so I don't know that I need more like depth of running backs I think I need to try to figure out a way to manufacture a higher end or be too if I really want to repeat in sleep yeah and I if I was in this league which imagine being in this league with you I wouldn't you were invited I would like I would basically say you have all these wide receivers I'm not giving you a running back unless you pay up at wide receiver and I know that that would be hard for you because that's the core that's the identity of your team and no matter what season you're in you have four to five wide receivers that you're like hey I'm gonna ride with these guys but that's like the opportunity cost that I would present in front of a team like this of saying hey if you're trying to level up or running back like I'm not just giving one away if you don't have a first-run pick which you don't and I want your wide receivers yeah it's a tough spot to be because you don't really want to just trade across positions just to make another position happen when you have young wide receivers that are gonna hold value for another two to three years yeah so what you're saying I should just hang tight and hope for the best that's exactly what you should do in dynasty if I had this team I think I would hold tight and just say christian make half-free let's say he just goes down I want to ship with this guy and that's good enough for me and you have Josh down that's right so if the cafe goes down every running back on this roster is available everybody including Jordan James you can have him too so if you're asking what are your needs you probably need more running backs you should probably count not by positions like I have a wide receiver two or three but by targets which is one of the things that I did for your team bets I looked at our projections and you have four guys in your team that projected for over 115 targets each that's Amin Ra Nico to Von Dismith Wondale which I think is a sneaky little bench play that you have if you want to flex them out so counting by targets and target chair is a better way than just saying this guy slots into my wide receiver three role and then the last question you should probably ask about your needs is what age window am I in? And we have an entire series on our website, the Dynasty Life Cycle series where you can identify, "Hey, here's where David Montgomery is, age 29, changing teams." Houston Texans, super inefficient running the ball. They were the worst team historically running inside the five over the last five years. Sorry, brother. Could you just not say that? It's, you know what's going to end up being, is it's going to be ugly and he's going to end up being the RB21, you're probably going to be okay. Yeah. He's like, it's, it's kind of funny because in, in fantasy, you don't win your lead because of these types of players. But it's like the type of guy that will help keep your team afloat. And then when the big spike weeks happen from Almond Ra or Nico, it's okay. I got 10 from David Montgomery this week. That's fine. But yeah, he's not going to be a huge building block to teams this year. I think from a, like, I won my lead because I did Montgomery. It's like, well, he's a fine death piece. He's a fine RB2 or RB3, but you shouldn't expect more than that. All right. And the last question I'll ask before we review some rosters is what are your trade window assets? I also wrote another article last year. We did a whole episode about Dynasty trade windows in the different times of the year when your picks matter more when they're more valuable. It seems like for you and your team, CMC Montgomery are the two players that you have to make decisions on at certain points of the year. So the trade window right now is De Montgomery could grow in value, right? He scores a couple touchdowns early. The Texans win some games. I think they're favored in six to their first seven. Like that's a valuable piece. And if your team isn't competing, you will want to capitalize on it. This same thing with CMC, you can either write it out or if he's hot early, you could trade him there. But those, those seems to be the two pieces that I identified. The other one I wanted to ask you your opinion about is Josh Allen. And obviously, like if you're considering going for it, you would be stupid to trade him away. But like you said, if just in the first couple of weeks, you know, for whatever reason, I'm one four or one and five and things are kind of looking south like we've talked about this with Mike at times. So it's like these elite rushing quarterbacks. They do hit a point where they start to tail off a little. I'm not saying Josh Allen won't run the football this year next year, but it's like, man, you could probably flip him for multiple 27 firsts and a younger quarterback or something like that where it's like, man, if you are trying to just full rebuild this thing, I don't think that's the craziest idea in the world. I'm not advising people do that. I think I didn't take it when this year. Clearly, but just he's another name that I was like, man, you know, he's a little older than we realize and it just across my mind. So what are your thoughts on that? I have Josh Allen, one of our leagues, it's a single quarterback. And my team was rebuilding, and I had so many people that basically looked at my team and told me because I was rebuilding, I should trade Josh Allen. And I just kept refusing because I was like, I don't care what season my team is in. I want the most valuable quarterback in fantasy. And I'm just going to say it, he's the greatest fantasy quarterback of all time. I want him on my team and I don't think he's aged out to a point where I need to trade him. I think we're still two to three years away from that. So in a super flex league, I just couldn't imagine trading him. I don't care how bad my team is. Your team, like you could do a quick rebuild with a couple of these pieces. And you could be back a year from now. And I would want Josh Allen to be a part of that. So that to me, it just like people sometimes label their teams as rebuild. And then they look at their most valuable piece and say, I have to trade them. It's like, I don't have to trade, you know, JSN. I like inner rebuild. I'm never going to trade JSN unless somebody overpays me or, you know, some of these others. So apart from running back, I just don't really think about trading elite players if I'm rebuilding. Yeah, that makes sense. I mean, if you have Bijon, I get it. If you want to trade Bijon, you feel like I don't, like I can, you could do that for certain. But, um, all right. Let's move on. And let's, so let's look at these rosters. What would you do? Ah, man, we never use that drop either. Ever. What's not our TV show? Oh, I just want you to know that on my stream deck right in front of me, when I press the button, it is the, what would you do? 90s Nickelodeon, like, like logo. No, that's not what I was thinking of. Isn't there like a, yeah, there's a newer one, but I was thinking about one when I was a kid. Yeah, they like go mark summer's a hidden camera and they like have people steal or something like that. And they just see if you would. Rat him out or whatever. Yeah, but mine is, mine is nostalgic, brother. Okay. Well, our, our minds with different directions, but we did we did. Still a good drop. Yeah. Um, I'm going to read the core of a roster. Okay, so I, I get if you're listening to this, you're like, how am I going to keep up with this? Um, I think what's helpful is us identifying a team as contender, rebuild or unsure and then just quickly us figuring out based on their question, what they should do. So this is from Joshua at mountain man 1689 on X. I mean, what a handle. Um, it's a 12 team super flex full PPR and he says he's a contender. Okay. His roster is, I would say really, really good. Like when he said it's a contender, it seems like a good roster. His quarterbacks in a super flexor Joe burrow and Justin Herbert. So love that. His running backs, Jameer Gibbs and Marian Hampton. I mean, also very good. His wide receivers are AJ Brown, T Higgins, Carnell Tate and Christian Watson. I love and Ricky Purcell. I love that core. Yeah. And then at tight and he has Harold fan and he also has Travis Kelsey. So overall, I think we would say this is a very strong team. You have two stud running backs. Like I'm very jealous of the running back core. But his question is I want to upgrade at wide receiver. But do I need it? Should this squad get me deep in the playoffs? And maybe because we've never seen Carnell Tate because we're kind of hoping Christian Watson and because Ricky Purcell is Ricky Purcell, do you think he needs to upgrade at wide receiver? I don't think so. I mean, I feel, I feel like if you're a contender, I think AJ Brown is going to have a very, very good season this year with Drake May. Obviously, we talk about his potential window closing kind of soon. But like if this is your team and you're going for it, him and T Higgins together are an awesome one, two punch. We just talked about Christian Watson and what he could do as kind of your wide receiver, three or slash four slash four. Excuse me. So I like those guys. As far as Carnell Tate, there is uncertainty, right? With any rookie, there's uncertainty. We thought Marvel is going to be the guy turns out maybe not like Carnell Tate could have a good, rookie year, we're still excited about him for next year and beyond, but not necessarily be a key piece to like a championship winning team in dynasty. So the only thing I'd say is if you are like, I'm all in for this year, I think it's reasonable to say like, Hey, maybe I could turn Carnell Tate into a more proven for sure top 25 type guy top 24 type guy. But I'm not worried necessarily about Carnell Tate. Obviously. So that's just the only thing is like if you, if you wanted to just take out some of the risk and variance and take somebody else, flip them into somebody that we've seen produced for years, I think you could do it with the squad. And it would make sense. But I'm excited about Carnell Tate's future. So obviously, it would be a bit of a risk management type question. The makeup of these wide receivers, AJ Brown, T Higgins, Carnell Tate, Christian Watson, Ricky Peersall, the one pushback I would give this team is you're in a full PPR league. But these aren't really like the traditional like players that see 150 targets, like even, I mean, AJ Brown could be the one of this group that could like see a monster amount. But he's always been more of a yardage guy, touchdown guy, T Higgins, touchdown guy, yardage guy, Carnell Tate was not a PPR guy. We talked about him early in the dynasty episodes of like, man, his targets were out and a little bit lower. Christian Watson, never been a huge volume guy. So that would be the only thing like if I looked at the weakness of the team, it's like, yeah, you're kind of missing that traditional wide receiver where it's like, yeah, you know, you don't have an almond raw where you could say, I'm going to see massive volume or J S in or any of these guys. So it's a little bit different of like the makeup of the roster for a full PPR. But like overall, like I would not like trade essential assets to go after wide receiver. I agree. When I was talking about Carnell Tate, it's not like you should do this. It's just that you could do this if you wanted to try to get him more proven asset. But like I'm excited about Carnell Tate. Obviously. So I think your squad is very, very good. All right. Here's a rebuild team from Grant from X. It's a 10 team super flex with tiered PPR and half tight and premium looking at the roster. He says, I'm moving from rebuild to contending. But I need help at quarterback. What should I do? So his quarterbacks in a 10 team super flex are definitely lower than I would say the rest of the league. He has Tyler Schuck, CJ Stroud, Malik Willis and Tuah. So yes, you could probably mix and match that group. But I feel like you're behind the rest of the league. Like you're probably back in maybe the ninth or 10th best team when it comes to quarterbacks. But he does have some awesome pieces on his team at running back a wide receiver. He has love Hampton, Skataboo, which is incredible. And at wide receiver has Amman Ra, Drake, London, Jordan Tyson, another Christian Watson team. So should he figure out quarterback if it's Schuck, Stroud, Willis and Tuah were like, man, do you need to upgrade there? So in 10 team leagues, obviously there's going to be it's easier to compile a strong quarterback room in a 12 or 14 team league. Most couples, QB 2/QB 3 are pretty weak in 10 team leagues. I would say most people probably have and you know, legit two options. I think with this group, you can see it, right? You could see it happening with Tyler Schuck with Malik Willis if he runs enough, and perhaps Stroud can kind of just be, you know, quarterback 15 in fantasy, something like that, where you'll have some usable weeks, but like other teams in the league obviously have a Jalen Hertz, they have a Josh Allen, they have a Jaden Daniels, and you don't have that oomph at quarterback. So I do think if this is a team that wants to try to upgrade there, that would make sense to me. The problem is he said he's a, not a contender, excuse me, he's a rebuilder, and it's like, man, I wanna keep Amonra on Drake London and Jordan Tyson, and Jeremiah Love and Omarian Hampton, like I wanna keep that from my rebuild. So I almost think I might just ride this out, kind of hope that Schuck can be the guy that Willis has a nice fantasy floor here and address quarterback next year, because those pieces, I want those as a rebuilder, you know what I mean? Yeah, 'cause what you're gonna end up having to do is to trade your most valuable pieces, one of those wider sewers, one of those running backs, to get a top five quarterback, and if you can't get one of those, then don't do it. Like you're not just trading for the quarterback 10 in our startup rankings, which, you know, like I'm not trading for Trevor Lawrence if I'm giving up Drake London. Like I want Lamar Jackson or Joe Burrow, and most people don't love giving that up. So just the context of your league would say, it's probably just better to ride it out. You do have some youth, I will say, a quarterback like Schuck, Stroud, Willis, like they're young enough, and you kind of hope that maybe next year or down the road, you get to do it, but if you know you're rebuilding, then you're playing with house money, trying to move forward in your league, and you have the core, right? Love, Hampton, Brown, London, Tyson, like I would love that core. Yeah, for sure, that's great. All right, let's do one more. This is a team from Quentin Smith on X. He says he's unsure, so I want to read the roster, and I want to see if we have the same reaction. If he feels like, hey, you know, my contender, or my rebuilder, it's a 12 team, full PPR tied in premium league, and here's the core of his roster. So I'm not going to read you all of his bench, I think that doesn't matter. Based on this roster, Betts, in a one quarterback league, his quarterback is Drake May. His Ronnie Maxx, or Jeremiah Love, and Dave Montgomery. I feel like those guys have showed up in every roster so far. John Deere Swift? Andy Andre Swift as is his other one. His wide receivers are Citi Lam and Ladma Conkey, and his tight end is Tyler Warren. Where would you put this team? This feels like a team that was just on the cusp of a rebuild that like in like the last year, and is now on the right trajectory, that could make some noise in this league. So I don't, I wouldn't say rebuilder. I would say like, chance to contend if things break right. I would put this as maybe a top five or six team in the league. Yeah. Like you just, I know you don't know what you have with Jeremiah Love, and for a lot of people, if you've been riding dirty at running back, then you're like, oh man, I've been so bad, I just assumed I'm rebuilding, and then all of a sudden, you get injected with Jeremiah Love, your team does. You're like, oh my gosh, I actually might be better than what I realized. And we say all the time, like if you are a top five or six ish team, go for it. Like don't just sit in this middle area where you feel like you can't. You have a difference making quarterback. You have a difference making tight and tight and premium. You have CDLAM who would still call a cornerstone wide receiver. I think you really do need to figure out maybe like some depth pieces that run him back because Montgomery and Swift will probably age out in a year or so, but I would go for it in 2026. I would too. Okay. If you need help with all of that, like you'd be like, hey, I don't know where I'm at, or I feel biased about my team, make sure you check out our ballers discord, ballers discord.com, and you can get reviews every single day. You could say, hey, here's my team. What do you guys think about it? And then someone can give you some unbiased thoughts about them. Instead of people in your league just bullying you, you know, just telling you you got to rebuild because you have Josh Allen. They've been telling Kyle that for years and he says I will never rebuild, although you did have what the second pick. I have somehow in that league just like stumbled into like awesome players. Like Luther Burton somehow, Harold Fanon just falling somehow into this kind of world and Jordan Tyson. I mean, like just good things. And Josh Allen's been there all along. The Borganoni, Gibronis, could not be more back. Dude, what a great team. All right, that's gonna do it for his bets. Sign us off. Yes, fun episode today breaking down some of these teams, answering dining questions. And now I know what I need to do to be a contender again in 2026. So hopefully you guys enjoyed. We'll catch you next week. See you. [MUSIC] Thanks for listening to the Fantasy Footballers Dynasty podcast.
