Dynasty Nerds Podcast | Dynasty Fantasy Football

Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price wrap the 2026 scouting series with a tight end episode that feels more important than usual. Even in a weaker rookie class, tight end remains the position where landing spot and opportunity can flip value fast, especially as NFL offenses lean harder into 12 personnel and “move” tight ends who are really big receivers.

Kenyon Sadiq headlines as the freakiest tester, but the crew digs into why the production and usage felt more manufactured than dominant. The debate is simple. Do you chase the rare athletic profile and bet on development, or do you prefer a tight end who already wins routes and targets more naturally?

Michael Trigg flashes rare movement and length, but the episode doesn’t hide the volatility, including consistency and off field trust questions. Justin Joly earns praise as a savvy, sticky hands receiver with a clear path to being fantasy relevant in the right system. Sam Roush is framed as the size and blocking archetype who may be more valuable to NFL teams than dynasty managers. Josh Cuevas reads more like an H back or fullback projection. Oscar Delp is the traits over production bet, with a pro day profile that will make teams think they can unlock more than Georgia showed.

Draft month means sleeper season, and Jagger May and Andrew Mott run through ten pre-draft names they’re planting flags on before Round 1. This list mixes fantasy-relevant late shots with a few defensive “bookmark it now” players, with the central theme being simple: traits, role pathways, and draft capital matter more than hype this time of year.

The guys lead with Skyler Bell as a “real” sleeper with legit production and analytics signals, then pivot to tight end value with Eli Raridon, a versatile option who can block and stay on the field. At RB, Adam Randall is pitched as a converted wideout with third-down receiving upside, while Kevin Coleman Jr. and Antonio Williams are framed as slot-plus weapons with enough athletic traits to earn a role fast if the landing spot cooperates.

On defense, Zion Young and Gabe Jacas get shouted out as edge names who could outplay their draft buzz, with the reminder that a “weak fantasy class” can still be loaded overall and push offensive sleepers down the board. The episode closes with tight end swings like Justin Joly and Marlin Klein as cheap, traits-based stashes that could pay off if an NFL staff unlocks them.

Peter Schrager’s latest mock draft has the Draft Nerds crew in full debate mode, with Garret Price, Andrew Mott, and Jagger May reacting pick by pick to the intel, the fits, and the reaches. The top of the board feels mostly chalk, but the conversation heats up fast once team building and positional value collide, especially around running backs and early wide receivers.

The crew agrees Fernando Mendoza at 1 is a lock, then praises David Bailey as a Jets slam dunk at 2. Things get spicy with Jeremiah Love projected at 4, where they love the talent but question the Titans taking a premium RB with Tony Pollard and Tyjae Spears already in place, arguing Carnell Tate might make more sense.

The fantasy fireworks come with Jordan Tyson to Kansas City as the first WR off the board, a fit that could reshape roles around Rashee Rice, Travis Kelce, and Xavier Worthy. They also call out polarizing spots like Kenyon Sadiq to Baltimore, and hammer the idea that a first round RB not named Jeremiah Love is a reach, especially with Jadarian Price sneaking into Round 1.

The Dynasty Nerds wrap their 2026 rookie wide receiver series with a fast, tape-driven debate on where the real value pockets live in rookie drafts. The crew highlights why this class may feel “flat” at first glance, but still offers multiple paths to fantasy upside if you’re willing to swing on traits, draft capital, and role.

On first mention, Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price rave about KC Concepcion as one of the most sudden separators in the class, with a top-tier release package and legitimate outside size. The only real holdup is the drop rate, but the show leans toward that being correctable rather than fatal.

The discussion pivots to Chris Brazzell as a classic size speed bet with real ball tracking and spike-week potential, even if effort and off-field notes create volatility. Bryce Lance brings elite testing and a Christian Watson-style profile, but age and competition level shrink the dynasty runway. Deion Burks flashes rare explosiveness yet never fully converts tools into production. C.J. Daniels is framed as a functional possession option, while Harrison Wallace III lands as a low-upside depth dart.

The Dynasty Nerds are back with a quick hitter dynasty game: rookies vs. vets. Garret Price sits in the hot seat while Andrew Mott fires off player-for-player decisions based on current startup ADP and consensus rankings, with the NFL Draft looming as the ultimate tiebreaker.

The headliners start at RB, where Garret leans Jeremiah Love over Ashton Jeanty thanks to receiving upside and projected volume, then pivots to the safe side at QB with Jordan Love over Fernando Mendoza. At WR, Garret prefers the ceiling of Carnell Tate over Ladd McConkey, but sticks with the established profile of Marvin Harrison Jr. over Makai Lemon.

At TE, Kyle Pitts gets the nod over Kenyon Sadiq, and the episode closes with a classic dynasty takeaway: sometimes the pick itself is the asset. Garret takes KC Concepcion over DJ Moore, framing 1.07 as a flexible “wait for the draft” decision, not a locked-in player.

Jagger May and Andrew Mott are already looking past 2026 and breaking down a quarterback class that could rival some of the best in recent memory. With at least four first-round-caliber passers and an S-tier that could produce the next franchise QB, the 2027 class deserves your attention right now.

Dante Moore sits at number one with high-upside tools and the most to gain or lose in 2027. He now faces stiff competition from transfer portal newcomer Dylan Raiola at Oregon, making his season a must-watch storyline. Julian Sayin at Ohio State is drawing massive buzz as a potential QB1, while Arch Manning showed real improvement late in the season at Texas. Jayden Maiava at USC, DJ Lagway (now at Baylor), and LaNorris Sellers round out a tier of big-armed, high-ceiling prospects still learning the game.

Josh Hoover transferring to Indiana may be the sleeper of the class, and John Mateer at Oklahoma brings electric athleticism if he can rein in the decision making. Brendan Sorsby heads to Texas Tech as a name to watch. The dynasty advice is simple: stockpile 2027 picks now before the market catches up. Check out the latest Rookie Big Boards and Dynasty Rankings to get ahead.

The Dynasty Nerds Show is back with Episode 3 of the 2026 wide receiver tape breakdown. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price work through six more receivers, and this group brings a mix of high-end talent, intriguing sleepers, and a couple of names the crew is ready to move past entirely.

Makai Lemon opens the show and earns some of the highest praise of the entire series. Garret scores him at 77.8 and Matt at 79.0, putting him right alongside Carnell Tate as the clear top two receivers in the class. The crew calls him a dog in every sense of the word, a Puka Nacua comp who plays with relentless toughness, attacks the catch point, blocks downfield, and refuses to lose. His only concern coming out of the combine was some chatter around his interviews and attitude, but nothing in the tape supported that. The crew sees him as a PPR machine with WR1 upside depending on landing spot. Elijah Sarratt is the toughest evaluation of the episode. He was technically sound at Indiana with 15 touchdowns, but the crew noticed he looked a half step slow at the combine compared to everyone else running identical routes. His tape showed very limited separation, a heavy reliance on back shoulder throws with Fernando Mendoza, and a contested catch conversion rate that raised flags. The crew has him in the WR14 range and needs to see athleticism numbers before feeling comfortable. Antonio Williams draws a Jayden Reed comp and slots into that same mid-tier cluster as a gadget chess piece who lives in the slot, turns every catch into a punt return situation, and adds value with no wasted motion in his routes. The injury history is the one real concern. Ted Hurst out of Georgia State is the breakout name of the episode. Six foot four, a 4.42 at the combine, and a Josh Gordon comp from Matt that the whole crew got behind. His ball tracking grade was his highest mark, his speed glides effortlessly on tape, and his Senior Bowl week was one of the best of any receiver in this class. The crew projects him as a day two pick with a true X receiver ceiling. Kevin Coleman and Jordan Hudson close the show and both land off most boards. Coleman disappears against top competition and Hudson offers a little more with the ball in his hands but neither generates dynasty interest from the crew.

The Dynasty Nerds Show is back with Episode 2 of the 2026 wide receiver tape breakdown. Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price work through six receivers from their personal tape grades, and the early takeaway is that this class is notably cleaner than the running back group. There are no players the crew wants completely off their boards, which makes the tier separation between them all the more important heading into draft season.

Carnell Tate opens the show and earns unanimous WR1 status. Garret's tape score of 79.18 puts him in the same all-time company as Ja'Marr Chase, CeeDee Lamb, and Malik Nabers. His 86% contested catch rate ranked third in the entire country, he had zero drops on the season, and the passer rating when targeting him was 151.8, best nationally. The crew calls him the safest player in the 2026 draft class and a multi-contract dynasty asset who wins in every area of the field. Germie Barnard draws a Robert Woods comp from the crew: reliable, smart, and landing-spot dependent for his fantasy ceiling. Malachi Fields is the most debated name on the show. His ball skills, catch radius, and physicality grade at an elite level, but only 36 catches at Notre Dame left too many questions about route tree and burst. Garret has him with a first-round grade. Zachariah Branch is viewed as a special teams ace and gadget piece with limited dynasty value, while Eric Rivers falls even further for the group due to poor hands and unrefined routes despite running a 4.35. The episode closes with a strong endorsement of small-school sleeper Tyren Montgomery, a former walk-on basketball player at LSU turned polished route runner out of John Carroll who turned heads at the Senior Bowl. The crew plans to draft him in rounds 4 to 5 as a high-upside stash with real development upside.
