Dynasty Owner

For the next few weeks, we will look at how Dynasty Owners drafted in 2020. By looking at the data of how the winners drafted relative to the rest of the teams in their league, we hope to discover some takeaways that can help everyone who is drafting a 2021 Dynasty Owner start-up team to win their League. We will also look at the “best of the best” and see how the teams that finished in the Top 25 of the Chase for the Ring drafted and find out if they went about drafting differently. Using these data, we can answer a bunch of questions and evaluate draft strategies, such as:
•Which type of Dynasty Owner leagues had the “best” Owners?
•When should you draft your Dynasty Owner team?
•What draft position is the “best” one to have in your Dynasty Owner draft?
•What position should you draft with your first pick?
•What players were the “best” first round draft pick?
•How much in salary should your first pick make?
•Which players were drafted by the most Dynasty Owner league winners?
•Should you use all of your salary cap during the draft or leave extra cap room to make post-draft Free Agent Auction pickups?
•Are there any draft strategies that worked better than others in 2020?

Those are only a few of the questions that we can answer with the complete 2020 Dynasty Owner draft data. There are plenty more questions out there and not all of those questions will be answered in this article. To start, let’s look at some of the questions that don’t involve individual players, positions or salaries.

In today’s podcast I am going to touch on some players that are considered stashes (not buys). In this article you will not find players like Paris Campbell, Aj Dillon, or Cole Kmet as I feel they will cost a decent price to acquire and will cover these players in next week’s article (sneak peek).

The players covered in this podcast should be available in most leagues, if they are not, they will be very cheap to get in a trade. These are also players that may not be ready to consistently contribute for another few seasons but are on the right trajectory.

I’m going to take that theme and run with it, while hopefully giving you guy’s content you will really enjoy and find helpful too. Once we have covered all of the top 10 players rebuild topics, I am hoping to switch gears to my orphan team. I have not gained access to my orphan team just yet but when I do I plan on turning it into a series of articles where we will rebuild this orphan team together. What I mean by building the team together is I will write/make a video on the team once or twice a month and will be taking the readers advice before making any kind of moves.

Once given the team I will do an article covering the roster and moves I think are needed, followed by all of your input before making said moves or the following article. I chose to make these articles twice a month at most giving me plenty of time to gather everyone’s input before releasing the next article, if a move happens to be split amongst everyone, I will be the tiebreaker at that point and will always have the final say.

I am hoping this will be something we can all engage with each other about and help give those who need it a true in depth look on how to rebuild a team step by step. As mentioned earlier I have yet to see this orphan team, but regardless of the roster outlook I will be tearing this team completely apart and rebuilding with all of you, we will also decide together if we want to keep any of our rostered players as building blocks.

I currently have three “notable” Saints’ free agents that I feel are worth mentioning. As always, notable means players that I deem to be rosterable in Dynasty Owner leagues. I’m obviously not going to talk about defensive players as Dynasty Owner does not play IDP, and I won’t be talking about players like Michael Burton, Dwayne Washington or Bennie Fowler. These three, while offensive players, are not currently rostered in any DO league. The three I want to talk about are Jared Cook, Jameis Winston and Ty Montgomery.

Jared Cook is 33 years old. He is finishing a $7.5 million per year contract, and he finished the season as TE18. Fun Fact: there were only two tight ends with higher salaries that finished lower in the rankings than him. Can you name them? Cook had a lackluster season although he did end with seven touchdowns despite a disappointing 58.33 catch percentage in the red zone. I wouldn’t dare declare that Cook has nothing left. It’s expected he’ll return for the 2021 season, but according to ESPN’s Mike Triplett, it’s unlikely it’ll be with the Saints due to “cap restrictions.” I do agree.

Cook is going to demand roughly the same contract that is about to expire. (Think Jimmy Graham’s contract) This coupled with the fact that the Saints traded their 4th, 5th, 6th and 7th round 2020 draft picks to Minnesota in exchange for their 3rd round pick which they converted into Adam Trautman. I’m not going to break down Trautman in this article, but surely the Saints want to see him on the field at some point given the draft equity they invested in him. Expect Cook to move on.

Up next we have the possible starting quarterback for the 2021 Saints: Jameis Winston. Winston signed a single year contract worth $1,100,000 last year. According to a lot of analysts, this deal seemed to be much less than he actually deserved. I would have to agree given the fact that he had just come off of a 2019 season where he had career highs in attempts (626), completions (380), yards (5109) and touchdowns (33).

Unfortunately, he also had a career high in interceptions (30). Regardless, I believe that Jameis showed enough in 2019 to make him deserving of a contract closer to 10 or 12 million dollars per year. The rest of the NFL did not see it this way and he essentially signed a minimum contract with the Saints. Well, Jameis was unable to show much of anything during the 2020 season. Despite Drew Brees missing four weeks in the middle of the season, Jameis did not attempt a pass during those weeks. Instead, Taysom Hill received the starting quarterback job. In fact, Winston only completed seven passes for 75 yards in 2020. 63 of these yards came in the game where Brees was injured. Now for some speculation…

The expectation is that Brees will be retiring sometime this offseason. The fact that he agreed to cut his pay to the league minimum for the 2021 season paves the way for a retirement. This move drops New Orleans’ cap more than $20 million dollars. Jameis is too cheap not to hold until his contract situation is a little clearer. Hold with confidence, and I would even advocate trading for him if the price is right.

The final player worth mentioning is Ty Montgomery. I’m not going to talk much about him as he has yet to pass 121 touches in any season. In fact, he has averaged only 72 touches per season in his career. He is only owned in 8.25 percent of Dynasty Owner leagues so he’s a borderline player to even mention, but if he is signed by a team expect his salary to be between 2 and 3 million per year. Even though this is a cheap price to pay for a running back, I would still be staying away.

For the past few weeks, these off-season articles on helping to get people ready for their 2021 Dynasty Owner start-up leagues have mainly looked back at the 2020 season.

These have included articles on the best players in the regular season and playoffs, players who should be picked in the first round based on their 2020 performance, players to avoid drafting based on their 2020 performance and salaries, second half breakout players and players who faded in the second half of 2020. All of them looked at which players to draft, or not draft, this upcoming season based on last season.

In looking at how the two Chase for the Ring Champions (Eddie Driscoll in 2019 and Viktor Kilgore in 2020) put together their Ring winning teams, it appears that drafting is critically important to Dynasty Owner success.

However, there are limits though on just looking back at past performance. Past performance is nice, but is only one part of your overall draft strategy.
There are plenty of ideas on how to construct a winning redraft or “regular” dynasty fantasy football league, but likely none of them can be fully applied to Dynasty Owner because of the inclusion of salaries and the salary cap.

Players and analysts can’t even agree on what draft strategy or strategies work in non-Dynasty Owner leagues and with only two years of history, there are no long-standing Dynasty Owner draft strategies that can be evaluated to determine their effectiveness.

Part of a historic North Carolina offense, Javonte Williams was half of a nasty 1-2 punch in the backfield with Michael Carter. Williams was the so called “thunder”, while Carter played the part of “lightning”. The thunder was certainly real, and Williams found the end zone 19 times this past season. With 25 receptions thrown in there as well, Williams has quickly flown up draft boards as a player who can immediately step into a 3-down role at the next level.

After a decent sophomore season (933 yards at a 5.6 average), Williams became one of the best college running backs in 2020. With a North Carolina team that at one point was ranked as high as 5th, Williams was able to better play his role in a stronger offense. That led to 1,140 yards on the ground, while averaging 7.3 yards per carry, and 22 total touchdowns. With his strength and speed combination, the highlights have been fun to watch, and everyone is starting to hop on the Williams hype-train. The production was good in his junior year, leading to his early declaration, but now we look forward at his NFL future.

In a class full of talent, especially at the wide receiver position, it’s hard for a prospect to truly stand out among the rest. DeVonta Smith won the Heisman Trophy this past year and Ja’Marr Chase was key to one of the most prolific offenses in college history, there’s a spotlight on the top receivers in this class. Rashod Bateman meanwhile is flying under the radar, despite being one of the better receivers in this class. He’s not flashy, but that may be his best asset.

Jaylen Waddle has some serious competition for the title of “Biggest Playmaker” in the 2021 NFL Draft. Rondale Moore has been lighting up college defenses since he was a true freshman and outside of an injury and a weird CO-VID season has continued to produce at a high level throughout his college career. There’s not many players who are scarier than Moore when they touch the ball, he can go from being surrounded behind the line of scrimmage to 10 yards beyond the defense on his way to the end zone.

In today’s video Jay will be breaking down the top 10 players he would trade in a rebuild. This list will go in order with number 1 being who he think will net the most value in a trade while number 10 would bring the least amount of value in a trade.

He will also take a deep dive into these players 2020 performance’s, salaries, and why a rebuilding owner should trade these players. He will not be listing what he feels each player’s true trade value is, because every owner values players and picks differently.

One thing to remember is that these are players rebuilding owners should look to trade, if you are competing for a championship these may be players to help your team. We are sure these are players most wouldn’t even consider trading but in a rebuild you must think different.

Two teams down and two to go...That’s right, this month is more than halfway over, and we are halfway through the NFC South. Up today we have another team that had a rough season to say the least. The Carolina Panthers finished third in their division at 5-11. I know football is a game that doesn't rely on a single player.

In fact, it is probably the furthest away you can get from a single player sport. That being said, the loss of Christian McCaffrey was clearly an insurmountable problem for the Panthers. CMC played only three games in 2020, and he strung Dynasty Owners along all season.

When a player suffers an injury that is season ending it is devastating, no doubt. But I would argue that it’s worse to have a Joe Mixon or CMC type injury where the Owner thinks there is hope of return just to be disappointed in the end. This scenario is true about both Mixon and CMC.

They both suffered serious injuries, but there was optimism a return to action was coming. Neither were able to provide any semblance of fantasy production over the second half of the season. In the three games that McCaffrey did play, he averaged 30.1 fantasy points per game.

An unreal and seemingly unsustainable production. We look ahead to 2021 where Christian should leave the pain of 2020 behind him.

After looking at players who improved over the course of the 2020 season in my last article, the logical next article would be to look at players whose performance went down over the course of the 2020 season. The full-season MVP is not always the same player who was the best at mid-season and this season was no different. Just as some players improved their draft stock with their better second half performances, there are other players who hurt their draft stock by performing worse at the end of the 2020 season.

It’s not necessarily a guarantee that a player who has a poor second half of a season is finished from being productive. Aaron Rodgers had a significant decline in performance during the second half of the 2019 season, but turned things around in 2020 and was just named the 2020 NFL MVP. Guess that’s what happens when your team trades up to draft its “QB of the future” in the first round of the NFL draft.

On the other hand, Matt Ryan was better in the first half than the second half of 2019. He played fine in 2020, but didn’t turn it around as much as Rodgers did which was likely a disappointment to his Dynasty Owners.
What’s going to happen to those players who started strong but then faded in the second half of the 2020 season? Are there any players who Dynasty Owners should think twice about drafting as early in 2021 as they did in 2020 based on their performance in the second half of the 2020 NFL season?
