The Dynasty Rankings Podcast

Scott Barrett (@ScottBarrettDFB) came back once again to join Nate Liss (@AnOutragedJew) and Ryan Lopes (@StillRyanFive) in a 2020 NFL draft PACKED episode. [WHATS INSIDE?]  PATRON Q From Ray Marzarella: I would personally like to hear Scott lay out the case on air for Zach Moss. Does he belong inside the “big 5 running back conversations?” What’s your “process” for mining for fantasy gold with these rookie picks? How do you land on gems at RB and WR, etc. What do you look for? Who are the personal favorites at RB, perhaps underrated? How about at WR? Favorites + underrated? Nobody talks about Van Jefferson. Why? Lynn Bowden, BREAKOUT FINDER poster child, what are your projections? Jalen Reagor streaking toward WR1 status (good BMI on Monday) I like KJ Hamler a lot and want to LOVE him, but his build leaves me very worried. Certainly a notable DYNAMIC athlete, however. Anticipating low 4.3’s - sell us on him, weight in mind PATRON Q From Joe Rankin: Dyno/Superflex, full PPR: GIVE > Smith-Schuster/Chubb GET  > Mixon, Thielen, and 2020 1.08. Which side? Tee Higgins big, early “winner” at weigh-ins. Legit WR1 ceiling. You a fan? D’Andre Swift seems very hot/cold. Many haven’t shaken him yet, and the other half feels like they’re being contrarian just because. What do we do with him? Denzel Mims should put on a show and ride a strong SB into and thru the Combine. Does your model like Mims? Barrett/PFF model likes the top of this TE class a good bit. TE notoriously hard to project, what do you think about the top guys? Hunter Bryant the TE1 barring an unforeseen Combine collapse? Laviska Shenault — injury history + not participating in all the drills but he will run the 40 yard dash. Final Show question: Buy or Sell Leonard Fournette in 2020?

This week our guy Davis Mattek (@DavisMattek) swings by the show to talk everything 2020 NFL draft with Ryan Lopes (@StillRyanFive) and Nate Liss (@AnOutragedJew) Cam Akers should make up the “big 4” running backs for 2020. Is J.K. Dobbins being overlooked? Does he have RB1 potential? How are you projecting Laviska Shenault? The Clyde Edwards-Helaire hype is palpable; I’ve seen legitimate RB1-ceiling talk. Where are you with him? Favorite mid-late round back or backs? Think Joshua Kelley or Darrynton Evans, etc.? What do you look for in mid-round running back dart throws? Lynn Bowden Jr. is a king, but do we trust the NFL to get him right? Are we overthinking Jerry Jeudy? Who’s the CeeDee Lamb comparison? Are you fading Henry Ruggs and his speed as “just a deep threat”? Is Jalen Reagor the next DJ Moore? The #numbers love Bryan Edwards and Tyler Johnson. We know the NFL currently hates the latter? What are you doing to do with them ranking- or projection-wise? Jonathan Taylor, easy smash evaluation? Patron question: How are you handling Tony Pollard going forward? Let’s obviously talk about DAMIEN WILLIAMS WHO WAS ALWAYS GOOD AND THERE WAS NEVER A DOUBT. Other favorite rookie RB landing spots? Nate’s got the Swift > MIA wet dream still alive. How about favorite rookie WR landing spots? Players you’re higher on in dynasty vs. “consensus”? Players you’re lower on in dynasty vs. “consensus”? Who are you looking forward to at the Combine? Big post-Combine risers of note? My vote: Donovan Peoples-Jones; also expecting a lot of the RB banter/debate to subside when Taylor/Dobbins smash.

This week on the podcast the guys bring on Curtis Patrick of RotoViz (@CPatrickNFL) to talk all thing 2020 NFL draft.  Jalen Reagor, WR1 — talk about it. Jon Taylor, RB1 and we can stop overthinking it. Remember the Dalvin Cook “fumble issue”? Me neither. PATRON Q (Chris): What traits do you look for in alpha WR1’s or Elite WR1’s? Most overlooked prospect? We’re over “slept on”. Most overrated prospect? Most polarizing prospect? Is D’Andre Swift pushing toward polarity? What happens with Lynn Bowden Jr. at the next level? TIGHT END TALK: Harrison Bryant or Hunter Bryant? PATRON Q (Dan Rider): Is it ever ok to take anyone other than a QB at the 1.01 in a SF rookie draft? In your evaluations much do you weigh metrics like DOMINATOR RATING, and BREAKOUT AGE, etc.? Where are you with Jerry Jeudy? He seems pretty sure-fire to me. How does he miss?

Thie week on the pod Nate Liss (@AnOutragedJew) and Ryan Lopes (@StillRyanFive) bring on one of the most highly regarded and well known fantasy analysts on plant earth Evan Silva (@EvanSilva) and he does his very best to make Terry McLaurin the most expensive fantasy asset ever. SUPER BOWL Damien Williams a 2020 buy low or sell high post super bowl magic? How high are you on the CAR offense and DJ Moore next season? Joe Brady hire/thoughts? Ian Thomas time + other poised, “breakout” tight ends for 2020. Also think Blake Jarwin, more Jonnu Smith, CJ Uzomah, etc. What’s next for notable 2020 rookie receivers? Let’s talk Metcalf, Brown, McLaurin, etc. Patron question (Rhett): Joe Mixon’s 2020 ceiling + what rookie pick for him in trade (dyno) Buy all Bengals’ skill guys (Boyd, healthy Ross -- even thinking Uzomah at TE) Tony Pollard flashes, and the workload is limited, but he looks like the more capable, talented back right now. DAL should deploy him a la Austin Ekeler. Should Pollard be more involved going forward? Assuming DAL does the right/smart thing and locks Dak up long-term, what’s his path forward (finally) under a new coaching staff? Arrow has to be screaming up as it’s someone (anyone) other than Garrett on the headset? Ideal rookie RB landing spots? Ideal rookie WR landing spots? Patron question (Andreas): Kyler Murray’s dyno value? Top-5 or top-10 or lower? What do you get out of Larry Fitz this season? Wheels up for Chritian Kirk? Andy Isabella now in the fold? Hakeem Butler, left for dead? Patron question (Jonathan): What’s Calvin Ridley’s value at this point? General thoughts on the CLE situation? Updates on Mayfield, Beckham? New HC hire? I ask this of everyone that stops by, but what are we doing with JuJu Smith-Schuster? Thoughts on Ryan Tannehill (rebirth?) + TEN offense going forward? What’s AJ Brown’s ceiling?

On this weeks episode Nate Liss (@AnOutragedJew) and Ryan Lopes (@StillRyanFive) welcome returning guest, and champion of the people Russell Clay (@RussellJClay) to bring some much needed energy to the offseason. Super Bowl plans & traditions. Michael Thomas post-Brees? Kenny Golladay with a new WR in DET? Godwin/Evans without Winston? Is Bobby Woods underrated? Favorite/obvious dynasty buy or sell? Favorite 2020 rookie RB in KC? Favorite Jalen Reagor landing spot? How high for Reagor? WR1 in range of outcomes? STOP OVERTHINKING JERRY JEUDY, WHO IS GOOD -- ELITE, EVEN Don’t forget about Bryan Edwards. Is there such a thing as “under the radar” in 2020? If so, who are we talking about (WR or RB)? Denzel Mims, full-steam ahead. Is D’Andre Swift “easily” the RB1? Taylor? Patron questions: Rhett: Favorite TV show of all time? Jay: During the 2019 rookie draft Russell implored people to trade up if AJ Brown was still up at the 1.06. I traded Jarvis Landry to get him. So my question is: What's it like being so smart and handsome Russ? Duke: How likely are the Colts to bring in additional RB competition for Mack from the draft and free agency? Charlie: Has Mecole Hardman flashed enough upside to be worth an early 2020 second? www.BreakoutFinder.com www.Patreon.com/breakoutfinder

Nate Liss (@anoutragedjew) goes in overly enthusiastic and tests the full range of his microphone (oops) and Ryan Lopes (@StillRyanFive) continues to bat over .500 on episodes. Been trying to fill out this nick nack shelf behind me got attacked on the internet for my Mac Miller va Eminem album takes. . SUPER BOWL is in 2 weeks! Tyreek Hill is a top 5 WR on numerous dynasty rankings? Should he be? Brandon Aiyuk ranked HIGHER than N’Keal Harry by some scouts? Round 1 projected? The sky is falling on this 2020 draft class — why? Reese’s senior bowl week: Hand sizes! Measurements! WR Denzel Mims -- on the rise. WR Antonio Gandy-Golden -- also rising? WR Collin Johnson -- looks good for a big man; do we care? PATRON QUESTIONS Second Round Pick 23... With the surprising return of Hubbard and Etienne to college football would you break the cardinal rule of drafting a RB with a late first or trade out for a 2021 1st? Daniel Scholzen Two questions: What does Drew Lock’s value in a super flex league look like going forward? No one seems to really put them up their ranks, despite being young, showing promise, and being the QB of an offense that will most likely add to the wide receiver core in the draft. 2) Is Austin Ekeler criminally underrated? He might’ve had the least hyped top 5 season of all time! I get that the situation he’s in hurts his stock a little, but does anyone care about how talented he is? He put up legit RECEIVER numbers at the running back position, and could get even more looks if Gordon leaves. Thanks! Chris Waller was the big 2019 TE to pop, with Higbee and Gesicki having a strong appearance late (I backed Everett and the other 2, almost got em all). Where do you see these guys finishing next year, as their teams will likely have more receiving talent around them? That's been a good thing for Kelce, but I'm not sure these situations are the same. Also, who is a legit shot for a breakout TE next year? I'm liking Njoku, but other than that no new/young names seem to crack the top for me. Bryson Kramer Do you guys think Darnold finally breaks that top 20 QB mark and becomes a weekly playable guy? Or is he screwed as long as Gase is there? Also who do you guys see as the possible breakout WR that will be going in the early part of the second round in superflex? I know the draft will change a lot of that but just curious who’s there based off talent and potential right now. Alex Raheem Mostert. What are your thoughts on him for 2020? Justin Similar question to Alex. Mostert seems like a sell-high but what would you trade him for? www.breakoutfinder.com www.patreon.com/breakoutfinder

This week Nate Liss (@AnOutragedJew) and Ryan Lopes (@StillRyanFive) bring on writer from The Athletic, fantasypros ranker, and ex-MLB pitcher Brad Ziegler (@BradZiegler) to drop fantasy gems and ring in our first episode of the new year. Nkeal harry: better or worse with/without brady? Taysom Hill is amazing — but how bad does he hurt Alvin Kamara’s fantasy value? Is DJ Moore a top 10 dynasty WR? Just “how high” for AJ Brown? DK Metcalf the value play? AJ Brown or Keenan Allen? DJ Moore or Odell Beckham? Chris Godwin or DeAndre Hopkins? Fantasy team names 2020 free agent RB’s of note: Kareem Hunt Derrick Henry Matt Breida Austin Ekeler Jordan Howard (just a guy, but only 25) Kenyan Drake (reborn in ARI) Carlos Hyde? HOUSTON most likely to add an RB? www.BreakoutFinder.com www.Patreon.com/BreakoutFinder

A Breakout Finder  podcast Special Report: Nate Liss (@AnOutragedJew) and Ryan Lopes  (@StillRyanFive) bring on the infamous Podfather (@Fantasy_Mansion) to  derail the episode (in a good way) and predict the N'Keal Harry's highly  productive Christmas future. Is Leonard Fournette a top-5 dynasty running back? Derrius Guice or Miles Sanders? Joe Mixon is a absolutely screaming value. Is it time to punt Royce Freeman? How is Breshad Perriman available on the waiver wire? Trading Adam Thielen for Parris Campbell. Jacob Hollister or Will Dissly long term in Seattle? D.J. Chark or Courtland Sutton? CeeDee Lamb in the Arizona Cardinals offense is magical.

Always delivering content that blows barn doors off Nate Liss (@AnOutragedJew) and Ryan Lopes (@StillRyanFive) do it again this week. Never pay running backs: Todd Gurley had a decent statistical outing but moves like me. Meanwhile, in Dallas, rookie Tony Pollard looks like the superior back in every aspect to Ezekiel Elliott. Favorite handcuff back (which may/may not correlate to their individual dynasty outlook and rankings): The aforementioned Pollard, Alex Mattison, Rashaad Penny, or Gus Edwards? Related: Is David Johnson cooked? Christian McCaffrey a dynasty sell? -- Where does Lamar Jackson sit in dynasty QB rankings? Deebo Samuel breakout campaign has been full-steam ahead over the last few weekends. Deebo BF production comps Apology to Keenan Allen. What does “Patrick Laird time” mean to you?

A one off episode. This week Glenn Booker (@AnOutragedJew) secures the first ever interview with the polorizing Drake Jordan (@DynastyChamp1). Known for his twitter persona, this rising name has drawn many accusations that he is using a burner account and is actually someone much bigger on twitter. Is it true? Let Glenn do the questioning here.

THIS EPISODE DELIVERS ON LEVELS NOT USUALLY HEARD ANYWHERE ON PLANET EARTH. THIS WAS BY FAR THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS, AND FUN EPISODE WE'VE CREATED TODAY. @ROTOPAT (PAT DAUGHERTY) BRINGS A HILARIOUS EDGE WHILE @ANOUTRAGEDJEW (NATE LISS) AND @STILLRYANFIVE (RYAN LOPES) TAKE SHOTS FROM THE OUTSIDE. Sony Michel, frustrating player. 4-18-0 last weekend, with Rex Burkhead mixing and seeing more work. Who else is in the running for the most fantasy-related blue balls to this point? 5-of-6 for 87 yards is Odell Beckham’s latest box score. I am sad. Are we done here? Kareem Hunt expectations in Cleveland? Josh Gordon’s new home. Talk expectations in Seattle. Tyler Lockett 13-152-2, continues to ascend. Where does he rank for y’all WR-wise, in general? Russell Wilson, MVP goes through him? Ronald Jones finds the end zone. Are we on to something here — finally? Keenan Allen with another dud. 4 targets is weird.  PATRON QUESTION: “My dynasty roster is ruined. I currently own Cam Newton and my only back-up is Baker Mayfield… I need you to walk me off of this ledge” - Cliff If the Panthers do the unthinkable and move on from Cam Newton, where do you want him to land and why? Noah Fant breakout week. Courtland Sutton continues to impress, regardless of who’s under center. How high do you have him ranked in dynasty? Mike Evans, still the WR1 in Tampa Bay? Melvin Gordon alive? Damien Williams, also alive? With QB1 on the way back, too.

Ryan Lopes (@StillRyanFive) and Nate Liss (@AnOutragedJew) fresh off their 1 week break return with a pre-halloween episode that will truly put you in the festive anti Baker Mayfield spirits. Is David Johnson (back, ankle) cooked? Does Chase Edmonds (hammy) matter in the long-run? Do we care about Kenyan Drake again? Miami backfield fallout: Mark Walton thoughts? Are we holding out hope for Myles Gaskin? PATREON QUESTIONS Best trade deadline trades that did not happen? Think: Melvin Gordon Robby Anderson (rumored to JAX, OAK, etc.) Devonta Freeman (rumored to DET) Le’Veon Bell A.J. Green O.J. Howard Tyler Eifert Still waiting on Chris Herndon, but things are sloppy in New York. Brandin Cooks, concussion specialist. Josh Reynolds ready for takeoff? James Conner banged up (again); Jaylen Samuels “ready to go” -- are you ready as well? Imagine Preston Williams with competent quarterback play? Now imagine DeVante Parker, also healthy. JuJu Smith-Schuster, not dead yet? Dyno talk: Smith-Schuster or Cooper Kupp? Aaron Jones’ explosion. Hunter Renfrow, who is elite, found the end zone. Quietly, this Oakland offense looks legit. Ty Johnson: FAAB-killer? DET a full-blown RBBC - yuck. Corey Davis: Back from the dead with a new QB? Auden Tate: Here to stay? Related: Andy Dalton: Benched. Keke Coutee: Also benched. DaeSean Hamilton: Catch-less, and now Flacco-less, but it looks even gloomier. www.breakoutfinder.com

This weeks podcast features one of the most creative fantasy content creators in the universe -- Peter Overzet (@PeterOverzet). We always say this, but this episode was an absolute smash and the video for it is even better as the entire group is dressed in the Sunday finest. NO EPISODE next week. Hunter Henry back in the fold. Austin Hooper continues to flex. Courtland Sutton looks like a good, ascending player, but will continue to be hamstrung by Joe Flacco. Stefon Diggs get-right game was glorious. PATREON QUESTIONS Related: Is the Brandin Cooks get-right game on deck next weekend vs. ATL? Rhetorical: Does Jared Goff stink? Chase Edmonds: Elite handcuff and enough stand-alone value? Satellite-back plus? Gordon/Ekeler, cancelling each other out? Mason Rudolph possibly set to return; does it even matter for JuJu? Has there been a more disappointing campaign as it relates to expectations and draft slot? 5-125-1 for Robby Anderson. Buy-low was screaming, window is obviously closed with Sam Darnold back. Are you a fan moving forward? Kyler Murray, right on schedule. As a noted Damien Williams fanboy, the Chiefs’ backfield is an absolute mess for fantasy purposes. Is there a plan of attack here moving forward, or avoid altogether? Marcus Mariota: Backup quarterback? AJ Brown, Corey Davis; free in the near future? Tyler Boyd with 10-targets and a dud; Auden Tate with 12-targets and a breakout of sorts? Terry McLaurin, breath of fresh air. Will Fuller legitimately left 100+ yards and 3 scores on the field, coming off hat trick last week. Describe the tilt. Mark Walton, worth the FAAB? Jamaal Williams likely owned, but imagine we’re prioritizing him over Walton and most other options this weekend if not?

The co-founder of the Breakout Finder himself Russell Clay (@RussellJClay) of Fantasy Guru joins Ryan Lopes (@StillRyanFive) and Nate Liss (@AnOutragedJew) this week as they get extremely LOOSE topically and push the limits on what may or may not be "safe for work". PATREON Q & A: Rest of season Todd Gurley vs Austin Ekeler? Lamar Jackson vs. Russell Wilson (Kyle) Dyno trade: Getting - Godwin/Conner/Woods, Giving - K. Allen/Carson/D.J. Moore (Michael S.) Seahawks backfield: Carson, Penny, or 2020+ draft pick [player TBD]? (Michael P.) The Michael Gallup #good season rolls on. The Aaron Jones nuts-on-the-table game. Christian McCaffrey is the best running back in football -- and at this point it may not be close (widening the gap between him and the Giants RB). I need Russ to give us a temperature check on the Royce Freeman/DEN backfield situation. Will it ever been Freeman time? Austin Ekeler -- 16 (!!!!) targets. I know it’s a Patreon question, but double-dipping here: Ekeler vs. Melvin Gordon rest of season? What happens? Who the hell is Byron Pringle? The Sammy Watkins injury bell tolls once more. Week 1 superstar turned ghost. Foster Moreau’s growth will make even a stellar Darren Waller, “breakout season” and all, expandable moving forward (like, as early as next year). Josh Jacobs: Good running back? D.J. Chark: Every week starter and borderline league-winning upside? Second-year stud. The Will Fuller Week. Adam Thielen was the squeaky wheel, after speaking out, and was rewarded. Only 4 targets for Stef Diggs last week. MIN has the PHI squad and their bad secondary. If he can’t get right then -- where do we go from there? Ideal trade partners? POST SHOW AUDIO EXTRA: “What are we doing with O.J. Howard in dynasty or season long?” -- you can hear this over at www.patreon.com/breakoutfinder
