How would you draft a dynasty team with category restrictions? Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price debuted a new game called The Build to close out 2025, drafting teams through ten rounds with unique constraints each turn. From selecting NFC quarterback wide receiver duos to choosing players under 25, the hosts battled to build the highest scoring roster using Dynasty GM point values. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Rich selected Bijan Robinson as his cornerstone piece, while Matt grabbed Jahmyr Gibbs. The duo picks created tough decisions, with Matt choosing Sam Darnold and Jackson Smith-Njigba from Seattle while Rich went with Jaxson Dart and Malik Nabers from the Giants. The tight end round proved crucial when Matt secured Brock Bowers before Rich settled for Tyler Warren. Rich ultimately won 66,251 to 61,210, though Matt argued his quarterback combination of Dak Prescott, Sam Darnold, and Drake Maye offered better long term value than Rich's Patrick Mahomes, Jaxson Dart, and Cam Ward. The hosts teased playing The Build again with different categories and reminded fans that offseason preparation starts now with rookie content ramping up in February. 00:00 Start 01:16 The Explanation 04:18 The Start (37:00) The Result Learn more about your ad choices.

Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price share their top dynasty desires for 2026, from Tyjae Spears getting a full workload in Tennessee to Justin Jefferson finally receiving competent quarterback play in Minnesota. The hosts also debut predictions on the Isaiah Likely-O-Meter, evaluating offseason scenarios for key dynasty assets. Garret wishes for Tyjae Spears to dominate Tennessee's backfield, while Matt hopes Justin Jefferson escapes Minnesota's quarterback chaos. Rich's big wish? Marvin Harrison Jr. finally breaking out and proving he's not just a nepo baby. The crew then fires up the Isaiah Likely-O-Meter to predict offseason scenarios, including Tyler Shough starting for New Orleans, David Njoku staying in Cleveland, Kirk Cousins landing a new starting gig, and Saquon Barkley producing another RB1 season.

Garret Price and Andrew Mott dive into dynasty trade scenarios heading into 2026, evaluating eight key players and deciding whether to up tier or down tier each asset. The conversation covers running backs like Jonathan Taylor and Chase Brown, wide receivers including Garrett Wilson and Jaylen Waddle, plus quarterbacks Brock Purdy and Trevor Lawrence. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Garret breaks down specific trade packages for each player, from moving Jonathan Taylor plus a first for Jahmyr Gibbs or Bijan Robinson, to down tiering Nico Collins for AJ Brown plus draft capital. He reveals his favorite quarterback buy low targets and explains why Breece Hall tops his running back trade list.

The Dynasty Nerds Dynasty Fantasy Football Podcast crew delivered their final weekly buy and sell recommendations of the season, identifying key players whose values have shifted heading into championship week and the offseason. Garret and Jagger broke down late season opportunities across multiple positions, offering insights on which players to target now before values shift again. Kirk Cousins emerged as a surprising buy recommendation despite his benching in Atlanta. With numerous teams needing quarterbacks in 2026, including the Giants, Browns, Jets, and Saints, Cousins could land in a situation where he provides fantasy value similar to Joe Flacco. The hosts suggest acquiring him cheaply now and flipping him for a 2027 second or third round pick once desperation hits in Week 5. Cam Ward also drew discussion as a soft buy, with improved play suggesting he may not be the bust many feared. While concerns remain about decision making, Ward is no longer drowning when things go wrong, making him worth a late first round pick. Running back remains tricky with Josh Jacobs showing troubling signs of hitting the age cliff, while Omarion Hampton looks like the clear rookie running back one heading into next season.

The Dynasty Nerds crew dove deep into tight end evaluations across eight NFL draft classes, revealing which years produced the most fantasy-relevant players at the position. Garret Price, Jagger May, and Andrew Mott broke down every class from 2020 through 2027, discussing hits, misses, and future expectations. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube The 2025 tight end class earned universal praise, with all three analysts ranking it as a top-two class. Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren lead the way as potential top-12 dynasty assets, while Harold Fannin, Mason Taylor, Terrance Ferguson, and Elijah Arroyo provide impressive depth. The hosts believe at least four tight ends from this class could crack the dynasty top 12. Looking ahead, Kenyan Siddiq emerged as the early favorite from the 2026 class, with comparisons to elite athletic tight ends. The 2027 class remains a mystery, ranked seventh out of benefit of the doubt, but could rise significantly as more information becomes available.

Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price debated aging dynasty assets on the Dynasty Nerds podcast. Jonathan Taylor (27 next season) earned mixed reviews—Matt and Rich want to ride him out while Garret seeks creative exit strategies. AJ Brown (29) got similar treatment, with Matt preferring to wait for a better landing spot. The trio agreed to hold George Kittle (32) despite injury concerns, citing the lack of return value. Taylor's 300-plus touch workload raised red flags despite elite production. Garret would move him for Quinshon Judkins plus a 2-1 or flip him with picks for Devon Achane. Rich prefers holding unless he can get Treveon Henderson straight up, noting Taylor's trade value still commands a 2027 first plus another asset. Matt leaned toward riding it out one more year in Indianapolis' offense. Josh Jacobs (28) earned unanimous "ride it out" verdicts. Rich emphasized Jacobs has been a perennial RB1 since entering the league, calling him "the Dak Prescott of running backs" in terms of consistent value and trade difficulty. The seven-year veteran entered the league at 20 and remains in his athletic prime despite heavy usage. Matt acknowledged nervousness but agreed one more year makes sense before selling. Brown's situation in Philadelphia creates uncertainty, but his talent keeps him WR10 overall. Rich named Ladd McConkey, Rome Odunze, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Garrett Wilson as lateral move targets if contenders want to get younger. Garret compared Brown to Mike Evans and Davante Adams—receivers everyone thinks are done before they actually are, projecting 2-3 more WR1 seasons. Chris Godwin (30) got unanimous "ride it out" tags. Rich sold him for a second in a rebuild but called it slight underselling. With Mike Evans likely gone and Godwin running 90% of routes post-injury, Tampa's offensive usage solidifies his 2026 value. The panel suggested buying Godwin for a mid-second as a contender. Dak Prescott (33) sparked debate about George Pickens' future impact on his value. All three hosts prefer holding unless they own multiple elite QBs, with Garret advocating for the "old boring quarterback" strategy of cycling through 30-34 year old QBs instead of paying premium prices for youth. Rich has preached trading firsts for 2-3 year veteran windows for 11 years. Kittle's 14.3 PPG (fourth among tight ends) doesn't offset availability concerns. Matt suggested targeting Tucker Kraft post-ACL as an exit, but Rich countered that no contender return fills the Kittle void. The only straight-up deal all three would accept: Harold Fannin, who Rich ranks closer to Colston Loveland than most realize. 00:00 Start 06:34 Get Out Early? 07:22 Jonathan Taylor 15:24 AJ Brown 27:07 Chris Godwin 30:07 Dark Prescot 39:09 Josh Jacobs 44:26 George Kittle Learn more about your ad choices.

Rich Dotson⁠, ⁠Matt O'Hara⁠, and ⁠Garret Price⁠ debated fantasy breakout candidates on the Dynasty Nerds podcast. AD Mitchell earned a 3/5 belief rating after averaging 15 PPR points over three games with the Jets. Tyler Shough and Devin Neal emerged as cheap SuperFlex depth options in New Orleans. Rich's bold prediction: Trevor Lawrence establishes himself as a top-12 dynasty quarterback in 2026 under Liam Cohen's offense. Mitchell topped the risers with six-plus targets per game since joining New York. Rich gave him a 3/5, citing athletic upside but noting he needs everything to break right. If the Jets land Fernando Mendoza, Mitchell could thrive as the Z receiver opposite Garrett Wilson. Matt compared his ceiling to Jameson Williams' role in Detroit. Jalen Coker disappointed the panel despite recent production. Garret rated him just 1.5/5, predicting Carolina adds a tight end like Kyle Pitts or Dallas Goedert in free agency, pushing Coker to WR3. Rich saw him as pure trade bait—a "scale tipper" with name value exceeding actual dynasty upside. Shough earned 3.5-4/5 ratings as New Orleans' likely 2026 starter after winning back-to-back games. Garret compared him to Davis Mills—competent enough to be a QB2 but not a long-term franchise solution. Neal scored 2.5/5 as a Brian Robinson type who could split carries with Alvin Kamara if the Saints move on from the 31-year-old's $18 million cap hit. Rich's crystal ball prediction centered on Lawrence becoming QB2 overall since the bye week. With Travis Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr. developing in year two, he projects Lawrence as a top-8 dynasty quarterback. Garret's bold take: 2026 will have the fewest fantasy-relevant day-one and day-two NFL Draft picks in 15 years, with only Jeremiyah Love, one or two quarterbacks, and 4-5 receivers worth first-round rookie picks. Gunner Helm received 4/5 ratings as a sneaky tight end buy with Tennessee's bare cupboard creating opportunity alongside Cam Ward. Jayden Reed scored 3-4.5/5 despite Green Bay's crowded receiver room, with the panel split on whether he can consistently crack starting lineups.

Garret Price and Andrew Mott reviewed the 2025 rookie wide receivers and tight ends on the Dynasty Nerds podcast. Tetairoa McMillan and Emeka Egbuka posted nearly identical stats, while Luther Burden emerged as Chicago's future alongside Rome Odunze. The tight end class delivered four potential top-10 dynasty assets in Colston Loveland, Tyler Warren, Harold Fannin, and Oronde Gadsden. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Travis Hunter showed improvement before injury, trending toward 80% snap counts on offense with 14 targets in his final game. Andrew called him underrated in current trade markets despite the two-way player concerns. T-Mac and Egbuka both finished with nearly identical production—59 and 58 receptions, 851 and 870 yards, six touchdowns each—with T-Mac proving more consistent week-to-week. Matthew Golden disappointed both analysts, with Garret ranking him WR8 pre-draft and Andrew viewing him as a second-round rookie pick value. His blocking deficiencies mirror the issues that limited Jaden Reed's snap counts in Green Bay. Burden sits at 479 yards with three games remaining, positioned to be Chicago's Amon-Ra St. Brown in Ben Johnson's offense once DJ Moore departs. The 2025 tight end class may be historic. Warren and Loveland lead the way as potential top-four dynasty tight ends, with Andrew preferring Warren due to less target competition in Indianapolis. Fannin has been the surprise, posting 667 yards and making David Njoku's free agency decision easy for Cleveland. Gadsden's 602 yards as a converted wide receiver gives the Chargers a legitimate receiving weapon. Even depth pieces like Mason Taylor (369 yards in Houston's struggling offense) and Gunner Helm (347 yards for Miami) show promise. Andrew emphasized the tight end development window: 90% of multi-year top-six tight ends hit that threshold within their first two seasons.

Dynasty Risers and Fallers: JJ McCarthy, Kyle Pitts, and Joe Burrow Rich Dotson, Garret Price, and Jagger May broke down the week's biggest dynasty risers and fallers on the latest podcast. JJ McCarthy topped the risers after back-to-back solid performances, while Kyle Pitts exploded for 45.6 PPR points. On the flip side, Joe Burrow continues to struggle, raising concerns about his long-term future in Cincinnati. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Rich emphasized that McCarthy remains obtainable despite his recent success, projecting he could be acquired for a first-round pick plus. The young quarterback is completing over 73% of his passes with six touchdowns across two games in Kevin O'Connell's system. Garret threw cold water on the hype, noting McCarthy faced the third and first-worst defenses against fantasy quarterbacks, but all three hosts agreed the positional value makes him worth the gamble. Luther Burden also earned riser status after leading the Bears in targets since Week 10, though Rich cautioned his value is situational with Rome Odunze returning soon. Pitts' massive game sparked debate about whether this is his second coming or just a contract-year fluke, with the Patriots and Commanders emerging as potential landing spots. The fallers list featured Sam Darnold cooling off after a hot start, Stefon Diggs entering his Keenan Allen phase, and Burrow raising Andrew Luck retirement comparisons. Jagger highlighted the Bengals' organizational cheapness as a major concern for Burrow's health and happiness moving forward.

Garret Price, Andrew Mott, and Jagger May ranked wide receiver classes from 2020 to 2027 on the College Show. The 2024 class topped their rankings despite Year 2 disappointments from Marvin Harrison Jr., Malik Nabers, and Brian Thomas Jr. The crew also hyped the 2027 class featuring Jeremiah Smith, who some believe could be the best prospect in years. The hosts agreed the 2021 class ranked second overall, producing dynasty assets like Ja'Marr Chase, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and Nico Collins. The 2020 class landed fourth despite early whiffs on Jalen Reagor over Justin Jefferson. Meanwhile, 2023 ranked dead last entering the draft but got salvaged by Puka Nacua and Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Looking ahead, the 2026 class lacks a true alpha, with Jordan Tyson, Carnell Tate, and Makai Lemon forming a solid but unspectacular top tier. The 2027 class stole the show, with Smith drawing Julio Jones comparisons and Cam Coleman rounding out an elite top duo.

Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price return to the Dynasty Nerds podcast to reflect on the biggest mistakes and lessons learned from the 2025 dynasty fantasy football season. With decades of experience between them, the hosts dive into the critical errors that cost dynasty managers championships and the strategies that led to success. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Rich's biggest regret? Letting NFL draft capital override his film room evaluations. He moved Kaleb Johnson up his board over Cam Skattebo simply because of draft position, despite his tape analysis favoring Skattebo. The lesson: stick with your February to May process, because post-draft adjustments have a ridiculously low hit rate. Matt learned that even elite players like Justin Jefferson need competent quarterbacks and offensive lines. When everything crumbles around a superstar receiver, even the best talent becomes unreliable. Meanwhile, Garret went all in on 14 of his 21 teams, and all 14 made the playoffs with eight finishing as the number one scoring team. The takeaway? Avoid the middle at all costs. Either go all in or blow it up completely.

The Dynasty Nerds wrap up the 2025 regular season with their annual awards show. Hosts Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price hand out hardware to the breakout stars, disappointments, comebacks, and MVP candidates that defined fantasy football this year. From the Nico Collins Award to the Kim Kardashian Comeback Player trophy, this episode celebrates the players who exceeded expectations and the ones who fell short. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube George Pickens dominates the Nico Collins Award as wide receiver three on the season after his trade to Dallas. Running a full route tree alongside CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott, Pickens proved he can be a true alpha receiver. The hosts debate whether he maintains his hunger after getting paid, but his production speaks for itself. Harold Fannin Jr. earns multiple trophies including Rookie Value Award after going in the third round of rookie drafts. The 21 year old Cleveland tight end has become the clear number one weapon for Shedeur Sanders, showcasing elite yards after catch ability and solid route running despite coming from Bowling Green. Javonte Williams unanimously wins the Kim Kardashian Comeback Player Award as running back seven. After devastating injuries derailed his career, Williams looks like his rookie self again in Dallas, breaking tackles and delivering the juice fantasy managers thought they'd never see again. The hosts hope he stays with the Cowboys to maximize his remaining window. Josh Jacobs claims Mr. Consistent for the second straight year, proving once again he's a set and forget running back one. Since 2021, Jacobs has finished as a running back one every season except his final Raiders year, making him one of the most underrated dynasty assets in fantasy football. Saquon Barkley earns Matt's "I Told You So" after his massive 378 touch season in 2024 led to predictable regression. Dropping from 21 points per game to 14.4, Barkley went from Superman to a mere mortal, validating concerns about his workload.

The Dynasty Nerds are reviewing the 2025 rookie class at the season's end. Hosts Garret Price and Andrew Mott break down how quarterbacks and running backs have performed, from disappointing debuts to breakout stars. With playoff positioning locked in and the regular season winding down, it's time to assess which rookies lived up to the hype and which ones left fantasy managers wanting more. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Cam Ward has been the biggest quarterback disappointment, averaging just 10.3 fantasy points per game for Tennessee. The hosts debate whether he'd even go in the first round of a 2025 redraft today, comparing his trajectory to Bryce Young's inconsistent path. With the Titans needing a new coach and multiple weapons, Ward's ceiling appears limited. Meanwhile, Jaxson Dart has been the opposite story. Averaging 17.7 points per game despite losing his head coach and key offensive pieces, Dart has shown the ability to will his team to production. His rushing upside has been a superpower, and the hosts consider him a potential 1.01 or 1.02 in a Super Flex redraft. Shedeur Sanders remains the ultimate roller coaster. After falling to the fifth round and sitting behind Dillon Gabriel, he's finally getting his shot in Cleveland. The hosts hope his final three games provide clarity, either elite or terrible, to avoid another muddy Browns offseason. Ashton Jeanty remains the most talented back despite disappointing numbers behind Las Vegas's terrible offensive line. The hosts still believe he's the first running back off the board in a redraft, though the conversation has gotten closer. Omarion Hampton has moved to the top of some rankings after showing he's built for the Chargers' offense. TreVeyon Henderson continues flashing elite big play ability in New England, averaging five yards per carry despite limited touches. Quinshon Judkins has been steady for Cleveland with nearly 800 rushing yards and seven touchdowns, though touchdown consistency remains an issue. RJ Harvey, Cam Skattebo, and Woody Marks all face uncertain futures heading into an offseason loaded with veteran free agent running backs who could shake up depth charts across the league.

The Dynasty Nerds are back breaking down the biggest winners and losers from Week 14. Hosts Garret Price and Jagger May tackle a wild NFL season where playoff contention feels more unpredictable than ever. From devastating injuries to breakout performances, this episode covers the fantasy implications you need to know heading into the stretch run. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Harold Fannin Jr. tops the risers list after dominating with 11 targets and 25.4 fantasy points for Cleveland. With David Njoku potentially facing free agency and Shedeur Sanders showing competence under center, Fannin's dynasty stock is climbing fast. The hosts debate whether he can reach Mark Andrews or Isaiah Likely territory if the Browns find their quarterback. Devin Neal claims the number two spot after his opportunity in New Orleans. With Alvin Kamara aging and a weak 2025 running back draft class, Neal could emerge as a starter. The hosts recommend buying low before his value spikes. Michael Wilson takes the top riser slot with a massive 37.2 point performance in Marvin Harrison Jr's absence. While his production without Harrison is elite, the hosts caution this is a firm hold rather than buy or sell situation given the uncertainty around Arizona's future. Jalen Hurts and Baker Mayfield headline the fallers after disappointing weeks. The Tampa Bay offense hasn't gelled with injuries disrupting chemistry all season. Mayfield is battling through pain, and the hosts see him as a strong buy low candidate this offseason when his value dips further. The biggest faller isn't a single player but the entire Indianapolis pass catchers group. With Anthony Richardson's health concerns and Riley Leonard potentially taking over, Michael Pittman Jr, Josh Downs, Alec Pierce, and Tyler Warren all face major downgrades. Even Jonathan Taylor will see stacked boxes tank his efficiency. Daniel Jones' devastating Achilles tear clouds his future after showing promise with the Colts. The nine month recovery timeline puts his Week 1 availability in question, and teams may hesitate to commit significant money. Minnesota emerges as a potential landing spot.

The Dynasty Nerds College Show hosts Garret Price, Jared Wackerly, and Andrew Mott ranked eight years of running back draft classes to understand how 2026 and 2027 stack up against recent history. Their pre-draft evaluations reveal which classes delivered on expectations and which ones fell short.

Dynasty Game Show: Blind Resume & Pick Your Poison The Dynasty Nerds crew turned their fantasy football analysis into a game show format for the final week of the regular season. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price tested their player knowledge with blind resume questions before diving into tough dynasty trade decisions. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube The blind resume segment revealed surprising stats. Jordan Love ranked as the number two passer by PFF despite middling fantasy numbers. Rome Odunze leads his team in targets with the second-highest average depth of target among number one receivers. The pick your poison segment forced difficult choices. All three hosts unanimously preferred Chris Olave over Tee Higgins for dynasty rosters. The Kyle Monangai versus Trey Benson debate split the room between proven production and upside potential. Most surprisingly, the crew talked themselves into ranking Caleb Williams ahead of Joe Burrow for dynasty value despite Burrow's elite talent.

The Dynasty Nerds crew breaks down players heading for a value cliff in 2026 and shares trade strategies for the playoff push. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price discuss end-of-season roster moves, graveyard candidates, and players they can't quit. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube With most leagues entering Week 14, the hosts emphasize making win-now moves for contenders and selling aging vets for rebuilding teams. Chris Godwin, Zach Ertz, and other veterans can be acquired for late seconds if you need playoff depth. Rich warns that injuries to stars like Amon-Ra St. Brown or Jonathan Taylor can derail championship runs, so insulation trades are critical. The crew identifies players poised to lose significant value heading into 2026. Tua Tagovailoa tops the list as a quarterback likely to enter backup territory, with his interceptions, lack of rushing upside, and uncertain future in Miami. Kyren Williams faces a statistical cliff with Blake Corum cutting into his workload, and Michael Pittman Jr. may struggle as Tyler Warren and Alec Pierce take targets in Indianapolis. Rich loves Dalton Kincaid despite injury concerns, Matt defends Xavier Legette despite limited targets from Bryce Young, and Garret believes in Tyjae Spears once Tony Pollard departs Tennessee.

Garret Price and Andrew Mott break down the most disappointing dynasty fantasy football players of 2025, covering one player at each position who failed to meet expectations. With the fantasy playoffs just one week away, the hosts analyze which assets let managers down and whether any of these fallers represent buy low opportunities heading into the offseason. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Lamar Jackson leads the quarterback disappointments at QB18 on the year, averaging just 17.6 fantasy points per game. Andrew highlights how Jackson sits in the same scoring bucket as Trevor Lawrence, Brock Purdy, and Jacoby Brissett, producing just 9.5 points per game over the last month with one touchdown and three interceptions. The lack of rushing production raises long term concerns as Jackson approaches 30 years old. Michael Penix ranks as the QB29 in points per game at just 13.7, barely ahead of Aaron Rodgers and Bryce Young. Garret expected a step forward in year two with elite supporting talent in Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts, but the Falcons quarterback regressed while the team collapsed to a possible top five pick without owning their first rounder. Isaiah Pacheco disappointed at RB52 despite landing in Kansas City's elite offense. Andrew went against the grain buying Pacheco everywhere, only to watch him average 7.3 points per game while Kareem Hunt dominated with 48 percent of snaps and an 8 to 2 touchdown advantage. Kenneth Walker averaged just 11.2 points per game despite playing in the most run heavy offense in the NFL, with goal line work mysteriously disappearing in a frustrating committee with Zach Charbonnet. Brian Thomas Jr sits at WR50 after leading the NFL with nine drops and receiving just one designed target all season. The back half breakout with Mac Jones under center never materialized with Trevor Lawrence and Liam Cohen, averaging just 10 points per game with one touchdown. Marvin Harrison Jr ranks WR28 in points per game at 12.5, producing high end WR3 numbers instead of the elite ceiling dynasty managers expected from the highest graded prospect Garret has ever evaluated. TJ Hockenson posted his lowest points per game total since his rookie year at 7.7, ranking as TE21 despite top 12 designed target share. Andrew argues the Vikings offensive collapse makes Hockenson a buy low candidate for 2026. David Njoku averaged just 7.2 points per game as TE26 after Garret projected potential top three upside, with Harold Fannin Jr splitting targets in Cleveland's quarterback disaster.

Rich Dotson, Garret Price, and Jagger May break down the biggest dynasty risers and fallers heading into the fantasy playoffs. With just one week remaining before most leagues kick off their postseason, the crew analyzes which players are surging at the perfect time and which assets are tumbling down dynasty rankings. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Alec Pierce continues his hot streak with over 15 points in three of his last four games. The hosts debate whether the Colts receiver has finally arrived as a consistent flex play or remains a boom bust asset. Bryce Young resurfaces on the risers list after putting up 22.5 points against the Rams, with the Panthers winning record giving him unexpected job security heading into 2026. Adonai Mitchell delivered his best performance of the season with 24.2 points on 12 targets against Atlanta. The rookie finally showcased the physical tools that made him a draft darling, though the panel remains split on whether this breakout is sustainable or just another tease from the inconsistent Jets receiver. DK Metcalf lands as the number three faller after posting single digit points in four of his last five games. The Steelers receiver looks like he has lost a step, prompting questions about whether his fantasy glory days are behind him. Rome Odunze falls to WR23 on the year after four straight weeks under nine points, raising concerns about his ceiling in Ben Johnson's tight end heavy offense. Saquon Barkley tops the fallers list with just one game over 13.5 points since Week 5. The 29 year old running back continues to disappoint despite the Eagles offensive talent, though the hosts agree a late 2026 first round pick might still be worth the gamble for desperate contenders.
