The Dynasty Nerds podcast dives deep into dynasty fantasy football with a focus on bounce-back candidates for 2026. Hosts Garret Price and Andrew Mott break down big-name players who underperformed in 2025 but still carry early-round startup value as former first-round rookie picks. They assign a confidence meter (1-10) to each player's odds of returning to elite form, covering key positions like quarterback and wide receiver. The episode covers Lamar Jackson's dip in rushing production after injury, Brian Thomas Jr's messy offseason with competition from Travis Hunter and Jacoby Myers plus trade rumors, Cam Skattebo's gruesome ankle injury despite strong early play, Xavier Worthy's letdown in Kansas City amid questions about his role, Baker Mayfield's midseason fade from MVP chatter due to injuries and coordinator changes, and Saquon Barkley's step back in Philly with workload and age concerns.

In this episode, Garret, Andrew, and Jagger break down some of the most intriguing wide receivers in the 2026 NFL Draft class with detailed scouting reports and player comps. From Jordyn Tyson's elite route running and Jackson Smith-Njigba-like ceiling as the top guy in the group, to Carnell Tate's sneaky speed and George Pickens-style big-play ability, Bryce Lance's field-stretching athleticism with Alec Pierce and Quentin Johnston shades, Makai Lemon's Amon-Ra St. Brown traits minus the blocking, and Germie Bernard's Rashee Rice-level suddenness in the slot. We cover route savvy, contested catches, YAC potential, red zone usage, and why poor college QB play held some of these guys back.

February brings the offseason sell window, and Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price identify the players whose values peaked after the Super Bowl. From aging running backs with heavy workloads to dual threat quarterbacks losing their rushing edge, these sell candidates offer a final chance to maximize value before the decline.
Kenneth Walker saw his ADP jump four spots after winning Super Bowl MVP, but his career 31% route participation and injury history make him a prime sell high candidate. Target tier ups like Breece Hall, Saquon Barkley, or Quinshon Judkins while the hype is hot.
Jonathan Taylor finished RB4 with back to back 300 plus carry seasons, but turning 27 with 369 total touches signals a looming cliff. Sell now for a 2027 first and seconds before next year's inevitable decline.
Bucky Irving at RB10 is overvalued at pick 36. His 3.4 yards per carry and small frame scream one year wonder. Wait until Sean Tucker and Rashad White leave in free agency, then flip him when the hype peaks.
Lamar Jackson managed just 349 rushing yards last season, his lowest output as a starter. At 29 years old with the 2027 class approaching, tier down to Jared Goff, Brock Purdy, or Bo Nix plus assets before the rushing disappears.

With the Super Bowl in the rearview mirror and free agency approaching, Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price break down the best dynasty buy targets at running back and quarterback. From injury comebacks to undervalued veterans, these offseason gambles could pay massive dividends for contenders and rebuilders alike.
Jonathon Brooks headlines the running back buys despite missing two full NFL seasons with ACL injuries. At RB52 overall, he represents a cheap lottery ticket with Carolina signaling he'll compete for the starting role. Head coach Dave Canales praised him as big, beautiful, and explosive with a real shot to win carries alongside Chuba Hubbard.
Sean Tucker offers similar upside as a free agent who flashed in Tampa Bay with eight touchdowns despite limited touches. At just 24 years old, he could land a backup role that turns into a league winner.
Quinshon Judkins dropped from RB12 to RB14 in ADP due to injury concerns, but all reports suggest he'll be ready for training camp. The addition of Todd Monken as Cleveland's offensive coordinator is huge, as Monken helped Nick Chubb achieve his best season in 2019.
Kyler Murray sits at QB30 despite multiple teams needing quarterback help. Whether he stays in Arizona with Michael LaFleur or lands with the Jets, Dolphins, Steelers, or Colts, his rushing ability gives him QB1 upside for contenders willing to gamble a late first round pick.
Mac Jones is the ultimate flip candidate at QB31. San Francisco doesn't want to trade him, but the right offer will change that. His eight game stretch as starter showed QB12 level production, and a Sam Darnold style reclamation project feels inevitable.
Jared Goff continues to be dynasty's most disrespected quarterback at QB16 despite four straight seasons finishing between QB6 and QB10. Even without Ben Johnson, he proved he's a set and forget starter who delivers consistent production.

Dynasty trade season is in full swing, and Garret Price teams up with Andrew Mott to break down real trade submissions from the Nerd Herd. From Bijan Robinson valuation debates to navigating the 2026 rookie draft class, this episode delivers actionable advice on when to hold your studs and when to cash in for future assets.
The debate over Bijan versus the 1.02 and 1.03 picks highlights a critical truth: in ten team leagues, superstars matter more than depth. While Fernando Mendoza and top wide receivers like Carnell Tate offer value, they're still percentage chances compared to a proven RB1. Context matters for rebuilding rosters, but best player available usually wins.
Josh Allen remains the crown jewel in superflex leagues, even with tempting packages featuring Baker Mayfield, Drake London, and Davante Adams. The 2027 draft class hype continues building, making it an excellent time to trade 2026 picks for future first rounders. Check the dynasty rankings to see where these players stack up.
Garrett Wilson emerged as a value target at the 1.09 and 1.11 price point, while Breece Hall paired with Ricky Pearsall and a 2027 first creates compelling upside for dynasty managers willing to move off CeeDee Lamb.

The 2026 NFL Draft quarterback class is shaping up to be fascinating, with clear separation at the top. Jagger May and Andrew Mott break down their top ten quarterback prospects following the Senior Bowl, offering detailed scouting reports and player comparisons.
Fernando Mendoza is the clear QB1 in this class, compared favorably to recent prospects like C.J. Stroud and Jayden Daniels. The hosts discuss his calm processing, great touch, and NFL-ready skills, though concerns about the Raiders' offensive line situation linger. Behind Mendoza, the class features intriguing prospects like Ty Simpson, Garrett Nussmeier, and Cade Klubnik, each with their own risk-reward profiles.
The conversation dives deep into developmental prospects like Cole Payton, Trinidad Chambliss, and Taylen Green, discussing which teams might take shots on their physical tools. The hosts also debate late-round options including Drew Allar, Carson Beck, and the polarizing Diego Pavia, whose size concerns could limit his draft stock despite impressive college production.

Garret, Andrew, and Jagger transform into NFL general managers for a complete first-round mock draft covering all 32 picks, and the results spark immediate controversy. Fernando Mendoza predictably goes first overall to the Raiders, but the chaos begins at pick two when Jagger selects safety Caleb Downs for the Jets instead of trading back. The quarterback-desperate teams face brutal decisions with only three signal-callers selected: Mendoza at one, Ty Simpson to the Jets at 16, and Garrett Nussmeier to the Rams at 29 in Jagger's boldest call of the draft.
Garret prioritizes trenches for the Browns, selecting Francis Mauigoa at six and Olaivavega Ioane at 24 to rebuild Cleveland's decimated offensive line. The wide receiver class scatters throughout the first round with Carnell Tate landing in Tennessee at four to pair with Cam Ward, Jordyn Tyson to New Orleans at eight, and Denzel Boston falling to Buffalo at 26 after Jagger admits he "re-reviewed the tape" and raised his grade. The most dynasty-relevant selection lands at 19 when Carolina selects tight end Kenyon Sadiq to provide Bryce Young another weapon alongside Tetairoa McMillan, creating what the crew agrees is a "hand-in-glove fit" for the rebuilding Panthers.

Rich, Matt, and Garret bring their first regular mailbag episode to the main podcast feed, and the Nerd Herd questions deliver spicy debates on every dynasty topic imaginable. The crew kicks off with underrated music recommendations before diving into whether aging veterans like AJ Brown, Jaylen Waddle, and Dak Prescott are worth a late 2027 first-round pick for rebuilding teams. Rich drops the hammer: anyone 27 years or older right now should be moved for future draft capital before the 2027 class becomes completely untouchable.
The most controversial take surfaces when Garret reveals he ranks both Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones ahead of C.J. Stroud in dynasty, citing Daniel Jones's 18.0 points per game versus Stroud's 15.5 this past season. The crew debates whether Jones's Achilles recovery and the Colts trading two first-round picks for him creates a buying opportunity at depressed prices. Meanwhile, the quarterback rankings segment produces fireworks as all three hosts agree Drake Maye sits alone at the top, but Garret and Matt lean toward Caleb Williams over Jayden Daniels due to injury concerns despite Daniels finishing as fantasy's QB7 on a points per game basis. Rich emphasizes the 2028 draft class as the pivot target for rebuilders unable to acquire 2027 picks.

Rich, Garret, and Matt reveal the statistical thresholds that separate dynasty hits from busts across all four positions. Garret breaks down years of historical data to show exactly which benchmarks predict long term success, and the numbers are shockingly consistent. Quarterbacks who hit 17 points per game in their first two seasons become franchise cornerstones 67% of the time, while running backs without 30 receptions in their first two years have under a 5% success rate. The data gets even more brutal for wide receivers.
First round wide receivers who fail to reach 500 yards as rookies almost never recover, with only four outliers since 2010. Travis Hunter managed just 300 yards with injury issues, while Matthew Golden didn't reach the mark either despite staying healthy all season. The crew debates whether to sell now for 70 cents on the dollar before values crater completely. Meanwhile, Jaxson Dart already cleared the 17 PPG quarterback threshold at 17.3, while Cam Ward fell short at 11 despite second half improvements. Rookie tight ends Tyler Warren and Harold Fannin both finished top six, joining the elite club that includes only Kelce, Kittle, and Gronkowski. The data suggests these aren't just guidelines but predictive indicators dynasty managers should treat as gospel when making trades.

Garret Price and Andrew Mott tackle dynasty's toughest question: how do you rank proven 2025 rookies against unknown 2026 prospects? The duo ranked their combined top 29 players across both classes, revealing Jaxson Dart as the overall QB1 and Jeremiah Love as the lone 2026 player cracking the elite tier alongside Omarion Hampton, Ashton Gentry, and Tetairoa McMillan. But the real fireworks came in the middle rounds.

The 2026 Senior Bowl delivered underwhelming buzz compared to previous years, but Jagger May and Andrew Mott still found breakout performers and concerning tape. Mike Washington Jr. jumped to RB3 in Jagger's rankings with his 228-pound frame and receiving ability, while D3 sensation Tyren Montgomery from John Carroll measured in at 5'11" and impressed despite the competition level. The biggest surprise? This weak draft class is elevating prospects who simply did what they were supposed to do.

Garrett Nussmeier won MVP honors and reminded everyone why he was projected as a top quarterback prospect despite LSU's messy season. Linebacker Jacob Rodriguez from Texas Tech showed sideline-to-sideline speed with elite coverage skills, while Missouri edge rusher Zion Young earned defensive MVP. Indiana's Kaelon Black impressed with his 500-pound squat translating to downhill thumping ability, while Oklahoma's Jaydn Ott moved from undrafted territory to day three consideration.
Diego Pavia measured in at just 5'9" and showed inconsistent mobility, likely dropping to undrafted status. Arkansas quarterback Taylen Green has the physical tools at 6'6" and 229 pounds but showed poor decision-making. Nick Singleton suffered a broken foot, eliminating combine testing and potentially ending his draft hopes entirely after production already dipped at Penn State. The crew emphasizes that all film breakdowns are available in the Dynasty Nerds Film Room for deeper evaluation.

Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price conducted a live one QB PPR startup draft with Nerd Herd members, revealing stark strategy differences from superflex formats. Rich secured Bijan Robinson at 1.02, while Garrett grabbed De'Von Achane at 1.06, and Matt made an experimental pick taking Brock Bowers at 1.10 despite later regretting the decision.
The draft showcased dramatically different positional value compared to superflex formats. Drake May went in the second round, but most quarterbacks fell significantly later. Rich won the quarterback chicken game, waiting until round 10 to take Dak Prescott while quality options like C.J. Stroud, Cam Ward, and Jared Goff remained available. He emphasized cycling through veteran quarterbacks in one QB formats rather than investing premium picks.
Matt's Bowers pick sparked debate about tight end strategy. He admitted afterward he would pivot to CeeDee Lamb if redrafting, noting Tucker Kraft went in the fifth round with similar per-game production. Rich doubled down on tight ends, taking Kyle Pitts and Dalton Kincaid back-to-back, betting on elite upside at the position. The hosts agreed this represents the deepest young tight end class in dynasty history, making waiting on the position more viable than ever before.

Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price dissected the latest superflex tight end premium ADP, revealing major value shifts and draft strategies. The trio agreed that quarterback value has evolved dramatically, with elite options like Brock Purdy and Trevor Lawrence falling to the third and fourth rounds while top picks are dominated by skill position players.

The hosts highlighted Travis Etienne at running back 21 as a screaming value after finishing as RB10 last season. Rich emphasized that proven producers like Etienne often get overlooked despite consistent fantasy production. They also debated Ashton Jeanty versus De'Von Achane, with Rich having a sizable gap between them despite similar ADP.
At wide receiver, Jaylen Waddle emerged as a standout value at WR27, especially with Tyreek Hill likely departing Miami. The hosts loved his WR11 finish through Week 10 before injuries derailed the Dolphins. Ricky Pearsall also got love as a late-round value with a clear path to targets in Kyle Shanahan's offense. The tight end discussion revealed surprising depth in the young tier, with Harold Fannin Jr. and Tucker Kraft offering similar upside to more expensive options.

Garret Price and Andrew Mott played Keep Trade Cut with players at similar ADP levels, revealing their strategies for navigating the dynasty trade market. The duo debated quarterbacks Bo Nix, Trevor Lawrence, and Brock Purdy, with Andrew keeping Nix for his rushing upside while Garret stuck with Purdy's consistency.
The running back debates featured Ashton Jeanty, Omarion Hampton, and TreVeyon Henderson, with both hosts high on Jeanty despite his difficult rookie situation. Andrew emphasized Jeanty's elite underlying metrics, noting he had the most stuffed runs in the NFL behind one of the worst offensive lines. At wide receiver, Ladd McConkey emerged as the consensus keep over Brian Thomas Jr. and Marvin Harrison Jr., with Mike McDaniel's arrival in Los Angeles boosting confidence in the Chargers offense.
The tight end discussion centered on Harold Fannin Jr., Tucker Kraft, and Sam LaPorta, with situational concerns dominating the conversation. The hosts wrapped up with younger running backs, debating Kyle Monangai, Woody Marks, and Bhayshul Tuten, highlighting how Houston's running back market could impact dynasty values.

Jagger May and Andrew Mott delivered their final top 24 skill position rankings before diving deep into NFL Draft team needs. The duo broke down six tiers of prospects, revealing major disagreements on wide receivers and running backs as the 2026 draft process heats up.
Jeremiyah Love stands alone in the S tier as the only blue chip talent. The A tier features Fernando Mendoza, Carnell Tate, Makai Lemon, and Jordyn Tyson, though Andrew has Tyson as his clear WR1 while Jagger ranks him fifth. KC Concepcion and Kenyon Sadiq form their own B tier, with both potentially jumping higher depending on landing spots.
The real fireworks started in the D tier. Jagger went to bat for Ja'Kobi Lane while admitting he's way lower on Denzel Boston than consensus. The duo also debated whether they're artificially pushing up running backs like Jadarian Price just because the class is weak at the position, similar to what happened in 2023.

The Dynasty Nerds crew is back with their monthly Risers and Fallers episode, and the conversation got heated. Rich Dotson, Garret Price, and Jagger May debated which players are climbing the dynasty rankings and which ones are plummeting after the AFC and NFC Championship games.
Trevor Lawrence topped the risers list as the unanimous number one. With Liam Coen's offense and a loaded receiving corps, Rich declared him an elite dynasty asset at just 26 years old. Jaxson Dart landed at number two, with John Harbaugh bringing stability to the Giants and Malik Nabers returning from injury. Colston Loveland rounded out the top three, cementing himself as a top five tight end after his playoff breakout.
On the falling side, CJ Stroud was the unanimous number one faller. Rich went on a legendary rant, calling him overvalued for years and predicting he could slide even further when the elite 2027 quarterback class arrives. JJ McCarthy and Zach Charbonnet also took hits, with McCarthy facing competition rumors and Charbonnet dealing with a devastating ACL injury.

The Draft Nerds crew just wrapped their most anticipated 2026 NFL Draft mock yet, and the results are in. Garret Price, Jared Wackerly, Jagger May, and Andrew Mott battled through two full rounds in a superflex tight end premium format, revealing their top targets and biggest sleepers.
Jeremiyah Love went first overall, with the crew unanimously praising his elite receiving skills and comparing him to Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs. Fernando Mendoza followed at 1.02, with Jagger declaring him a safer bet than Cam Ward. The wide receiver trio of Makai Lemon, Carnell Tate, and Jordyn Tyson flew off the board next, though debate raged about which one truly deserves WR1 status.
The surprises came later. Kenyon Sadiq at tight end drew Vernon Davis comparisons, while sleepers like Mike Washington Jr. and Zachariah Branch generated serious buzz as potential value picks in rookie drafts.

Wide Receiver Free Agency: George Pickens Headlines Thin 2026 Class
Rich Dotson and Garret Price break down the 2026 wide receiver free agent landscape and team needs across the NFL. While the rookie draft class offers depth at the position, several veteran receivers could shift the dynasty landscape when free agency opens. The hosts dive into which teams desperately need help and where value might emerge for fantasy managers.
George Pickens leads the class after a career best 1,429 yards and nine touchdowns in Dallas. The hosts expect him to return on a franchise tag or extension. Alec Pierce emerges as an intriguing secondary option who could fit Buffalo's needs. The duo identifies Las Vegas and Tennessee as premier landing spots where receivers could immediately become fantasy assets, similar to Josh Palmer's breakout season. Potential cap casualties include Tyreek Hill, Calvin Ridley, DJ Moore, and surprisingly Michael Pittman Jr, creating additional roster movement across the league.

Rich, let the boys speak bud.
quite the monolog, from Rich, to get started.
I have Burrow and Lawrence and I have the 1.03 I'm gonna try and trade back but if I can't do I take Gibbs or JSN or just take the best QB
just started listening at the beginning of the year. these guys are a must listen. they get annoying when they talk about the Browns but other than that they are really good. 👍👍👍
Great podcast. I am hearing hype on some of these draft prospects , but I am just not seeing it for Jordan Love, Shenault, and a couple others. I see potential with a year or two of grooming for Nate Stanley and Lynn Bowden. I'm from Ohio, but think Taylor will be a work horse and think that the sleeper pick is Isaiah Hodgins great routes, cuts, and start/stop.
difficult to listen to... so stubborn in their ranks and can't admit when they're wrong... unsubscribing
Way too much Browns talk! haha. Solid pod otherwise
