The Dynasty Lab Podcast

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:

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.

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

Ryan Lopes (@StillRyanFive) and Nate Liss (@AnOutragedJew) do their damnedest to salvage JuJu Smith's good name and reputation, but times are tough on this weeks Breakout Finder podcast....

Ashton Dulin — fart noise.

Corey Davis sighting.

Where the hell did: Odell Beckham, Adam Thielin and more importantly JuJu go?

2-7 for 20 yards (???) for Odell Beckham Jr., who hasn’t been quite as disappointing as Smith-Schuster, but the CLE offense continues to work through the ground game.

Is Mason Rudolph going to kill JuJu Smith’s dreams of future fantasy WR1?

Is JuJu Smith-Schuster the WR2 to Diontae Johnson’s WR1?

Auden Tate week looks fun. Pour one out for Johnny Ross, who’s really good, but really injury prone I guess.

Jaylen Samuels needs more work.

Ronald Jones is probably happening but he still doesn’t have functional hands.

Does “Will Dissly” being a thing make you uncomfortable?

Antonio Callaway is back. Discuss.

Golden Tate, also back. Also discuss.

Chris Godwin blesses us with a 12-172-2 line, a week after Mike Evans exploded. Related note: Are you riding the Jameis-coaster?

Does Sony Michel stink?

4-70-1 for DeVante Parker and my heart grows fuller.

Christian McCaffrey, pure sex. Are we worried about his usage tho?

This weeks pod was HIGH energy as Ryan Lopes @StillRyanFive and Nate Liss @AnOutragedJew link up with Ian Hartitz @IHartitz of Rotoworld to drop bombs all over your Week 4 fantasy line ups. DON'T MISS THIS.

First-time QB performances and what they mean for their respective teams going forward?

Daniel Jones

Kyle Allen

Mason Rudolph

Lesser extent: Teddy Bridgewater and/or Taysom Hill

Ian, I have to know more about Curtis Samuel’s outlook with Kyle Allen under center.

Choose or die: Diontae Johnson or James Washington moving forward?

Mason Rudolph could be responsible for burying JuJu Smith-Schuster and perhaps even James Conner. What does the panic meter read in Pittsburgh?

Other QB notes/topics: What do we make of Kyler Murray’s start through three games now? Talk about Larry Fitzgerald’s production (still) and Christian Kirk’s “breakout campaign”.

Patrick Mahomes: Literally unstoppable. Still ascending. All of that. More importantly for fantasy teams, how do things shake out when Tyreek Hill returns? Safe to assume that Mecole Hardman gets relegated? Is it also safe to assume that Demarcus Robinson is legit? We know the Sammy Watkins story (“as long as he’s healthy).

Lamar Jackson hit an odd bump in the road against a middle-of-the-pack Chiefs defense. He struggled, but the ceiling still remains of course. Mark Andrews banged up a bigger impact than many thought? Also, ridiculous air yards for Marquise Brown: Big Week 4 incoming (buy-low)?

Nate, need a Jimmy Garoppolo status report and update after his opening weekend performance. 49er’s offense is so messy from a fantasy standpoint. Deebo Samuel a thing vs. not a thing, Matt Breida fighting for his life, etc.

Let’s talk about Keenan Allen’s potential special season.

David Montgomery dust already?

Also, checking in on Josh Jacobs’ nonexistent usage out in Oakland,

Miles “Matter of Time” Sanders,

and Tony Pallard flashing (deserves more work, but stuck behind a (paid/overpaid) bellcow -- not great).

There was top-5 WR talk on the timeline for Cooper Kupp who, credit where it’s due, looks really good post-knee injury. But how far is too far here? Brandin Cooks also tied with 12 targets last weekend. Who’s your favorite option going forward and why?

What the heck is going on in Cleveland? Baker Mayfield coming off of a sub-200 yard game with an offense that has that guy who’s really good catching passes.

Mike Evans saw all the “Chris Godwin WR1” chatter on the timeline and proceeded to pull his nuts out.

I want to talk about Alvin Kamara’s bananas day, including 11 or 12 missed/broken tackles, which is absurd. Doesn’t matter who’s under center, I suppose. Also, Christian McCaffrey: Bulletproof.

Rex Burkhead trending up, Sony Michel is not.

Holy lord did this one get away from us. We started out with a show sheet, Matt saw it, tore it up and took over the show (again). This week the Breakout Finder Boyz: Nate Liss (@AnOutragedJew) & Ryan Lopes (@StillRyanFive) bring on Matt Kelley  (@Fantasy_Mansion) for our liveliest show yet. You DON'T want to miss this one.

SF/CIN

1    Pettis WR3? Samuel WR1?

2    SF backfield; Breida vs. Mostert vs. Wilson -- who do you want to own, if anyone?

3    Boyd and Ross -- looking forward (ex. Green's pending return)

Pettis 2nd most offensive snaps in SF behind Goodwin

LAC/DET

1    Ekeler, still on track to win leagues with Gordon sidelined

2    Monster 15 targets for Allen with Henry lost and Williams hobbled

3    Hockenson back down to earth, Golladay trending up, and the DET backfield remains a mess

MIN/GB

1    Diggs' box score doesn't do his afternoon justice; thoughts on Cousins?

2    Cook continues to thrive under revamped MIN O + Kubaik system

3    Jones trending up; thoughts on the GB WR corp?

IND/TEN

1    Cain a ghost; Campbell finds the end zone

2    TEN passing attack was a snoozer

3    Henry getting necessary volume through two weeks; RB2 tier

NE/MIA

1    Gordon vs. Brown?

2    Burkhead remains involved

3    Michel producing, but lacking pass game involvement is a concern

BUF/NYG

1    Another 8 targets for Smokey; Singletary banged up

2    8 targets for Engram, but it was a slow-mover

3    When is it going to be Danny Dimes' time?

SEA/PIT

1    Ben banged up, Conner banged up; skill player fall out (ex. JuJu)

2    Can Samuels carry the load? Washington about to ROCKET up with Rudolph under center?

3    Carson opening the door for Penny? 12 target bounce-back for Lockett? Metcalf scores, continues to look very comfortable

DAL/WAS

1    Prescott's pending pay day

2    Gallup banged up, and led the team in targets; Cooper jumping back to front of the line?

3    9 targets for McLaurin as he continues to dramatically outplay ADP, projections, etc.

ARI/BAL

1    Kirk/Murray connect looked better; 8 targets for Kirk, 100+ yards -- we're back.

2    Jackson looks unstoppable; gets KC next, where the fireworks should continue

3    Andrews - stock up; Brown - stock up -- redraft and dyno, for that matter

JAX/HOU

1    Chark trending up with a new QB under center; Westbrook breakout on hold?

2    Is Hyde... a thing?

3    HOU offense struggled; Watson didn't top 200 yards; Hopkins didn't top 50 yards

KC/OAK

1    Mahomes being Mahomes

2    First Watkins, now Robinson's turn to ball outrageous; Hardman on deck? No Hill, no problem.

3    KC backfield with some moving parts; Williams shaken up, McCoy with a bum ankle -- Thompson time?

The most content loaded episode yet from the Breakout Finder boyz Nate Liss (@AnOutragedJew) and Ryan Lopes (@StillRyanFive) as they welcome John Proctor (@JohnProctorDFS) to the episode to help you win your WEEK 2 fantasy football matchups.

TEN/CLE

Late-round TE Delanie Walker looking like a hero.

A.J. Brown, WR1?

Derrick Henry, weekly smash?

Baker Mayfield and the CLE boys got out over their skis?

BAL/MIA

You won all the money if you played this game on the BAL-side. Lamar Jackson was a screaming value all offseason; MIA a weird test out of the gate, but expectations going forward?

Remember Hollywood Brown?

BAL backfield; the Mark Ingram show until further notice?

Another late-round TE of note: Mark Andrews

I don’t want to talk about Miami at all.

ATL/MIN

Dalvin Cook, league-winner?

10 pass attempts for MIN - yikes.

Devonta Freeman/Ito Smith timeshare?

BUF/NYJ

Le'Veon Bell back, and not missing a beat. 17-60-0 on the ground, 6-32-1 through the air.

Jamison Crowder was targeted 17 times; 14 rec, but couldn’t crack 100 yds.

John Brown ended with a 7-123-1 line off of 10 targets, as a perfect downfield threat for the Bills' signal-caller.

Devin Singletary appears to have control on RB1 duties, and added 5 receptions.

WAS/PHI

Terry McLaurin is here.

Adrian Peterson a healthy scratch, but now Derrius Guice banged up. Chris Thompson healthy (for now) and providing the safe PPR floor.

Do we care about Trey Quinn?

Miles Sanders is still coming, it's just a matter of time.

DeSean Jackson, also still good.

LAR/CAR

Todd Gurley splitting work; Malcolm Brown, goal line beneficiary?

Christian McCaffrey was the 1.01 overall coming into the season, your RB1, and looks absolutely unstoppable.

D.J. Moore, WR1; Curtis Samuel … ?

KC/JAX

Damien Williams vs. Shady McCoy vs. Darwin Thompson

Patrick Mahomes, zero rust to knock off.

Mecole Hardman while Tyreek Hill is recovering?

Still buying JAX pass catchers without Nick Foles (that’s weird to type)?

Leonard Fournette, the bellcow everyone was/is scared to own?

IND/LAC

Marlon Mack, bellcow I’m happy to own?

Pay Austin Ekeler, not Melvin Gordon.

TY Hilton post-Andrew Luck: Still useful

CIN/SEA

John Ross, third-year breakout?

Andy Dalton stuffing box scores without Joe Mixon, banged up OL.

Please, somebody, feed Tyler Lockett.

D.K. Metcalf doesn’t care about your route running video critiques.

Chris Carson > Rashaad Penny, to the surprise of nobody, really.

NYG/DAL

Pay Dak Prescott.

OC Kellen Moore is a blessing.

Michael Gallup legitimate WR2+?

Evan Engram, top-4 TE - locked in.

DET/ARI

Target leader Danny Amendola is no bueno.

T.J. Hockenson doesn’t care about rookie TE narratives.

Kerryon Johnson losing pass-catching work.

Christian Kirk drew 12 targets but it was largely a day to forget.

Kyler Murray, late-starter.

Our longest episode yet, and if you like high energy commentary and also crying then this episode is mostly for you. Ryan Lopes (@StillRyanFive) exhumes the corpse of many topics in this episode which are met with unwavering resistance from Nate Liss (@AnOutragedJew) -- bottom line, this episode DELIVERS. #WhiteClawStinks

Vikings cut/waive Laq Treadwell; Redskins cut/waive Josh Doctson. Doctson turns around and signs with the Vikings. We need Treadwell to ink with Washington to complete the sad cycle.

Carlos Hyde out in KC, traded to HOU. Should be no issue for Duke Johnson -- Hyde who stinks.

Mel Gordon dug in, Chargers dug in. Gordon reportedly ready to sit out Week 1. Austin Ekeler/Justin Jackson season-long and dynasty standpoint.

Jay Gruden on RB1 Derrius Guice: "The offense, carries-wise, will pretty much go through him."

N’Keal Harry lands on IR. What’s the panic meter at? RELATED: Demaryius Thomas cut/resigned; Josh Gordon completely cleared for Week 1.

Elijah McGuire lands on the CLE practice squad? Surprising?

LeSean McCoy released, and immediately lands in KC with old friend coach Andy Reid. What does this mean for Damien Williams?

Fallout in BUF: The Athletic's Joe Buscaglia believes Devin Singletary "won’t consistently be a featured back, at least not early in the season."

As we do, moment of silence for WR Greg Dortch, who was recently waived by the NYJ.

Jazz Ferguson, practice squad stash?

Elijah Holyfield is still running his 40 whilst being waived by the Panthers.

Alfred Blue to IR: Ryquell Armstead an even more enticing handcuff for season-long purposes. Dyno-wise, JAX recently signed RB Devine Ozigbo, formerly of the Saints.

We talked about Ricky Seals-Jones as a possible factor in ARI, especially given his familiarity with the new coach in town. Sike. Waived, but quickly lands in CLE behind starter David Njoku.

Eq St. Brown on IR in GB, and he’s donezo for the season.

Jerick McKinnon on IR. Will not play a down in SF. Again.

WR Taywan Taylor traded to the Browns?

No comments on John Kelly at this time, please, who is now on the streets. We will #neverforget.

More waived/released players “of note”:

RB Samaje Perine, WAS > CIN

WR Keelan Doss, OAK > JAX

WR Marcell Ateman OAK >

RB Boston Scott PHI > NO >

WR Stanley Morgan Jr. CIN

WR Jordan Matthews SF

RB Jeremy McNichols TEN

WR J’Mon Moore GB

RB Josh Adams PHI

WR Emanuel Hall CHI > TB >

WR Chad Williams ARI >
