Dynasty Rankings: 3 Veteran RBs to Fade

As the rookie season heats up and Dynasty Football enthusiasts prepare for the next season, now is an excellent time to trade off aging veterans. Selling players for draft capital is a time-honored tradition in dynasty formats. These Dynasty Rankings:
2024 NFL Draft Winners & Losers

2024 NFL Draft Winners & Losers The first round of Detroit’s first NFL Draft is in the books. And what a wild ride it was. With 32 picks in the books, it’s time to look back at the first-round 2024 NFL Draft Winners & Losers. Winners Caleb Williams (QB) Chicago Bears – There were no doubts that Williams was going No. 1. However, the Bears also added Washington WR Rome Odunze with the ninth pick. Williams will now open his pro career throwing to D.J. Moore, Keenan Allen, Oduzne, and TE Cole Kmet. Minnesota Vikings – The Vikings refused to trade up and stood pat. Their reward- still landing the quarterback they coveted and getting one of the top pass-rushers in this draft. J.J. McCarthy is pro-ready and lands in an offense that led the NFL in passing in 2023. A masterful job by Kwesi Adofo-Mensah. Xavier Worthy (WR) Kansas City Chiefs – I love the reinforcement the Chiefs added after a ‘down’ season still led to another Lombardi Trophy. They signed Hollywood Brown and were able to trade up with the Bills to nab the fastest player in the league. Worthy will step in right away and replace Mecole Hardman as the Cheifs’ main deep threat- a role that Tyreek Hill performed to much acclaim. Kyler Murray (QB) Arizona Cardinals – Murray landed a legit No. 1 wide receiver in Marvin Harrison Jr. After the pick, Murray was clearly excited. Fantasy managers should be as well. Harrison has WR1 upside in 2024 and could approach 150 targets. LET’S ROCK!🥋🏎️ @MarvHarrisonJr — Kyler Murray (@K1) April 26, 2024 Losers Atlanta Falcons – Wherever you come out on Michael Penix as a prospect, this was another head-scratcher from Terry Fontenot. Atlanta just went all in on Kirk Cousins to the tune of a $100 million deal with the first two years fully guaranteed. Then, out of nowhere, used the No. 8 pick on a 24-year-old rookie with a lengthy injury history who was widely considered a marginal first-round talent. Cousins was ‘stunned’. So were most football fans. Unless Cousins is behind on his injury rehab, Penix won’t play for a minimum of two years. Additionally, Fontenot may have alienated his prized offseason acquisition. Ricky Pearsall (WR) San Francisco 49ers– Although Pearsall’s dynasty value might actually be considered a winner, his 2024 redraft value took a hit. As long as Brandon Aiyuk remains in red and gold, Pearsall is, at best, fifth in line for targets in San Francisco. I love Ricky Pearsall as a prospect, so I’m not downgrading him too much. However, the No. 5 option in Kyle Shanahan’s offense is typically in the WR75 range due to lack of volume. Malik Nabers (WR) New York Giants – Nabers was my WR1 in the pre-draft process but landing with the Giants is a bit of a concern. I have no confidence in Daniel Jones’s ability to get an alpha wideout enough opportunities to pay off his ADP. I’m still a fan of Nabers in Dynasty, but his redraft value took a hit. Buffalo Bills – The Bills are up first in Round Two after trading out twice and accumulating more draft capital. However, the Bills are in ‘win now’ mode. And those late-round picks are unlikely to help this team win in 2024. Additionally, Buffalo can’t get by the Chiefs and just allowed their rivals to trade up with them and nab the fastest player in NFL Combine history. Michael Mayer (TE) Las Vegas Raiders – Quarterback is already an issue in Vegas. Now, the top tight end from last season just got usurped by one of the top tight end prospects of the last decade. It’s hard to see the Raiders having enough success to keep Mayer fantasy-relevant this season.

Breaking Down Committee Backfields

In today’s NFL, it seems like there are fewer three-down feature backs than ever. With more teams employing rotations, breaking down committee backfields is an important part of fantasy draft preparation. It also can lead to an opportunity to exploit value for those that can stay ahead of predicting how these committee backfields will play out, which opens up a variety of different draft strategies. Let’s look at some of the confusing backfields of 2021 and how fantasy football fans should approach them Miami Dolphins There are plenty of teams in today’s NFL that have at least a split-back system. However, in this article, I will try to focus on the teams that are expected to split touches at least three ways. That being said, the Dolphins may have the busiest running back room in the entire league as touches may be split between four backs weekly. New head coach Mike McDaniel had a history of using multiple runners during his stint as offensive coordinator in San Francisco. However, they also often struggled with injuries which leaves the question, was the multi-back system more based on design or necessity? Regardless, I do believe we will see a lot of rotation in this backfield. The four backs I’m projecting to be in that rotation are Chase Edmonds, Raheem Mostert, Sony Michel, and Myles Gaskin. I anticipate Edmonds leading this backfield in touches. He’s probably the most versatile of the backs being that he can run inside, outside, and catch passes. Mostert is in that conversation as well, but Edmonds is much more durable. At his current ADP Edmonds is being selected as the RB35. He’s an absolute steal there in McDaniel’s zone-blocking, run-heavy system. Mostert is the wild card as he’s not only the most dynamic and dangerous back on the Dolphins, but he’s one of the most explosive players in the entire league. He’s a big play waiting to happen. The concern is that he isn’t durable enough to give a ton of touches too. He is more of a best ball option for me. As dynamic as he may be his upside is capped by the fact that he maxes out at about 6-8 touches per game. Michel projects to be the short-yardage and goal-line guy. However, I believe he’s the least talented back in this backfield. While in theory, he should have touchdown upside I believe he eventually loses his role and becomes an afterthought by Halloween. Gaskin is an interesting case. Many predict he could be cut, but he’s never anything short of spectacular in camp every summer. I do believe he will earn a roster spot and with Mostert’s fragility could end up with a significant role in the likely scenario that Mostert misses time. We have seen him put up monster games on bad offenses. He should be monitored on the waiver wire in 2022 despite starting the season as the Dolphins’ fantasy RB3 due to Mostert’s big-play upside. New England Patriots The Patriots are a habitually confusing backfield year after year. This year it’s more important than ever to decipher because the backs they have are extremely talented. The only saving grace may be that James White is a candidate to start the season on the PUP list forcing him to miss the first six games of the season, which would vastly improve Damien Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson’s PPR potential. The team also added Pierre Strong Jr. who is a talented rookie but I don’t expect him to be a factor this season. We know when healthy James White is a premier pass-catching back with limited work on the ground. He is a major part of the offense, nevertheless, the real question here is do you want to roster Harris or Stevenson? Last year in his rookie campaign we saw Stevenson take 133 carries for 606 yards with five TDs. He averages 4.6 yards per attempt and saw his touches increase as the season went on. He also caught 14 passes for 123 yards. Harris also averaged 4.6 yards per attempt rushing 202 times for 929 yards and 15 TDs. He snagged 18 passes for 132 yards. The thing that jumps out about those numbers is obviously the TD disparity. Harris has a nose for the end zone, and I don’t expect that to change. However, Stevenson looks more explosive with the ability to break more big plays. Assuming White does miss time to start the season I expect the backs to split time fairly evenly. The difference will be I believe Stevenson will see a significantly higher volume of targets in the passing game and Harris will get the majority of the goal-line work. With that said, I give Harris a slight edge here. Stevenson could very well be the more productive fantasy back in the first half of the season. My concern is that when White does return we will see Stevenson’s PPR value plummet and Harris will still be finding himself with the ball near the end zone. This is very close and I like both backs, all three if you include White, but the edge goes to Harris in New England. Buffalo Bills The Bills were already a confusing backfield and this offseason they added rookie James Cook and pass-catcher Duke Johnson. It appears Devin Singletary had overtaken Zack Moss as the lead back in Buffalo although it has at times over the past two years seemed exactly the opposite. Still, I expect Singletary to be comfortably ahead of Moss so I will focus more on how Cook and Johnson will factor into the workload. Devin Singletary does start the season as the RB1, nonetheless, the real RB1 in Buffalo may actually be QB Josh Allen. There is a real chance Cook is more talented than Singletary. He certainly appears to be more explosive. However, he had the biggest workload of his career last season at Georgia with 68 carries and only ran the ball 113 times. Granted he

2022 FFWC Dynasty Draft 1st Round Recap

Our first $1,000 annual entry fee Dynasty Fantasy Football World Championship draft of the season has been taking place this week and there were plenty of surprises and interesting picks. We are going to take a look and recap the first round for you pick by pick. Pick:1.1 Jamar Chase (WR) Cincinnati Bengals With the first-overall pick in the draft Chase comes off the board. I firmly believe he should be the dynasty WR1 over Justin Jefferson so you can’t go wrong with him here. His future looks as secure as any future can be in this league situationally. He’s the clear-cut WR1 on an ascending offense with a quarterback in Joe Burrow who is just 25 years old and has all the makings of a superstar for the foreseeable long-term future. Beyond his situation, his talent is overwhelming. I graded him out as the best wide receiver prospect since Mike Evans in 2014. He did not disappoint with an incredible rookie season catching 81 passes for 1,455 yards and 13 touchdowns. The scary thing is he has only scratched the surface of his potential coming into the league in 2021 following a year off from football. Pick 1.2 Jonathan Taylor (RB) Indianapolis Colts Taylor is the no-brainer No. 2 pick here. I lean slightly towards running backs so he’d be my first-overall pick, but you can’t go wrong with either of those guys. Especially when you consider how true bell-cow backs are becoming rarer and rarer in today’s NFL. He saw 372 touches last season and I don’t anticipate any dip in his usage moving forward. It could even increase. With all those touches he rushed for over 1,800 yards and 18 TDs in 2021 and tacked on 40 receptions for 360 yards and two TDs through the air. He is as gifted a running back as there is in the league perhaps with exception of Derrick Henry and he gets to run behind one of the best offensive lines in the league. This is a home run pick. Pick 1.3 Justin Jefferson (WR) Minnesota Vikings After Chase, Jefferson is the obvious WR2 in dynasty currently. This is the exact spot he should be drafted at in every draft. In just two professional seasons he’s already amassed 196 receptions for over 3,000 yards and 17 TDs. After an impressive 88 receptions for 1,400 yards and seven touchdowns during his rookie campaign in 2020, he improved across the board catching 108 passes for 1,616 yards and 10 TDs in 2021. With Adam Theilen now on the downside of his career at age 31, Jefferson should only see his role increase particularly in the end zone. With his skill set, he could easily become a 15 TD receiver. The only question surrounding him is the quarterback situation. Kirk Cousins is not an issue for Jefferson’s production, however, he’ll be 34 when this season starts, and rumors constantly swirl each offseason about the possibility of Minnesota moving on from him. The good news is, he’s not a special talent so it’s not like he’d be irreplaceable if he did make his exit. Pick 1.4 Najee Harris (RB) Pittsburgh Steelers If this was the Steelers’ offense of even just three years ago, Harris would be the first-overall pick. The talent is there and the opportunity for touches is massive. Unfortunately, there are a ton of questions surrounding this offense now. The quarterback situation is in flux heading into the 2022 NFL Draft and the offensive line has gone from elite to among the worst in the league at a rapid pace. The offensive line is a huge concern. The loss of Ben Roethlisberger- not so much for me. Whether the quarterback moving forward is Mitch Trubisky, another acquired veteran or they draft a rookie at some point soon; I don’t see it as a detriment. Big Ben has been awful the past few years and declining quickly. I see Trubisky this year, who is the likely Week 1 starter, as an improvement from the Roethlisberger we saw in 2021. Pick 1.5 Kyle Pitts (TE) Atlanta Falcons Many won’t want to draft a tight end this high. I strongly disagree. Pitts is so far ahead of the pack at this position I wouldn’t let him drop anywhere past pick 1.6 and have no issues with him going at the 1.5. He’s a freak talent and at just 21 years old there is no one close to as valuable. With Travis Kelce turning 33 in October and Mark Andrews kicking off Week 1 at 27, the advantage Pitts gives you over any other tight end is almost unfathomable. Pitts caught 68 passes for over 1,000 yards and a TD as a rookie at a position where players typically approve by leaps and bounds in years two, three, and four. The quarterback situation is concerning, but being that he’s the clear top target and the perfect security blanket for either a rookie or weak-armed Marcus Mariota, I’m not too concerned about it. Pick 1.6 Ceedee Lamb (WR) Dallas Cowboys The departure of Amari Cooper from Dallas and a healthy Dak Prescott now a full season removed from injury should bode well for Lamb in Dallas. He caught 79 passes last season, topping 1,100 yards and six TDs. I expect all of those numbers to improve significantly this season and expect consistency from him year in and year out moving forward. There’s not much more to say about this pick. He’s ultra-talented with a solid quarterback and a creative offensive coordinator who will make every effort to get the ball in his hands as the now undisputed top weapon on the team. Pick 1.7 Javonte Williams (WR) Denver Broncos I love this pick and have him ranked Lamb and just about dead even with Pitts. He split time with Melvin Gordon last year as a rookie so his numbers won’t blow you away. He rushed for 903 yards on 203 carries
