Deep Dynasty Stashes 2025 (3 Viewers)

In addition to higher round picks from 2023 who may be buried on the depth chart that may qualify as deep dynasty stashes, or next in line, I'm sure there will be a lot of late round picks added to this list, but keep in mind the contract of the players in front of them, as well as their own contract. Currently some of my favorite deep dynasty players, and some not as deep, but buried, in no particular order are;
Sean Tucker - buried behind White and Irving. White is a UFA in 2026.
Israel Abanikanda - Probably no path in 2025, but with Gurendo's foot problem and CMC health issues, and now Mason has an injury, who knows. Lots has to happen.
Isaiah Davis - Breece Hall is a UFA in 2026, so he could be moved next year. Braelon Allen can be passed up, as seen in week 14.
Troy Franklin - The Broncos tried to get rid of Sutton in the offseason. He has a base of 13M in 2025 and is a UFA in 2026 and voidable.
Keaton Mitchell - Henry can't play forever can he? Maybe the cyborg can. Justice Hill is not a UFA until 2027.
Ben Sinnott - Maybe not a deep stash, but worth mentioning anyway since we didn't see anything from him his rookie year. Ertz is a UFA in 2025 and is 34 years old, nuff' said.
Kimadi Vidal - No longer a deep stash, but Dobbins is hurt yet again. He is a UFA in 2025 and may get cut anyway. Edwards has a base of 3M in 2025 and is a UFA in 2026. He will also be 30.
Jaylen Wright - Maybe not a deep stash, but I wanted to mention him. He's clearly #2 next year and Achane has shown to have injury concerns in the past.
Jacob Cowing - Deebo Samuel has a 16.6M base with a 4.8 signing bonus in 2025 and is a UFA in 2026 and voidable.
Those are just a few names of the top of my head. I'm sure you guys will add more and I may also think of someone else. If I do I'll just update this post.

dynasty ... end of season lotto tickets?
are you picking anyone up that you think might show enough at the end of this season who might have value next year? My list is short so far: - trey lance DAL QB - Westbrook-Ikhine, Nick TEN WR - sincere mccormick LVR RB - grant calcaterra PHI TE are there any players that you're looking to...

I love he and DMR(fourth string TE). It's easy to find highlights on TwitterX if you want. They very much give you pause and maybe maybe this kid's got something.
They are both supposed to play more as the season closes.
Callahan said it about Oliver for four weeks now. He got in and made two key catches then one key catch, then nothing, then a nice catch. Maybe 6-10 snaps a week. That's not the "more" we wanted.
I'm not sure what's going to happen here but the coaching words are there that they'll play more and we'll see.
Anyway...check out the highlights and see what you think
EDIT-
Here's NWI saying he's really good

Ridley quotes I shared in another thread
Here's a preseason catch

OC praise

Here's one from a few weeks ago.

It's behind him, a DB is there, but he don't care he just does his job.
Maybe four weeks ago
Running between two defenders and into a third defender- don't care, it's my job

Maybe some is proportionate to how I feel about other WRs alligator arms and poor effort and drops and...but this kid keeps doing his job well

Most of what’s listed is already owned in my leagues, so I’ll throw out a few that I think have promise.
TE:
Chig Okonkwo
Brevin Jordan
Davis Allen
Brenton Strange
Ben Sinnot
AJ Barner
WR:
John Metchie
Malik Washington
Luke Mccaffery
Devontez Walker
I’ve got nothing for QB and RB, mostly owned.
Yes I play in TEP, so I’m always on the lookout for the next “whatever” TE to roster.
Hope some of these names help you deep roster dynasty bros.

DMR

8.73 RAS also played slot in college. One drop.
There's other catch highlights (I think he was top five TE in preseason) but here's a get outta my way block too
x.com
He seems like he's got more than enough to be playing and he's starting to get some snaps in games

Chig and Brevin haven't taken advantage of opportunities so I'd take them out of this list if this were mine.
Ray Barboni
Footballguy
Brevin hampered with injuries.
Chig, hampered with bad QB play and play calling.
This IS the deep dynasty stash thread after all.
Titans are likely to have a new QB next year - I don’t have to tell you who’s a young QB’s best friend do I?
Which WR on the titans do you expect to command targets?
I like Chig as a flyer next year
BearsFan4Life

Stone Smartt looked good at TE last night for LAC after Dissly left the game. Compared him to Likely on the broadcast.
TartanLion
Footballguy
This type of topic is so dependant on roster size and number of teams every single one of those WRs are rostered in my two dynasty leagues as an example.
Jordan, Allen, DMR and Stone Smartt noted. Dissly never seems to stay fit so Smartt may indeed get a chance in the final weeks this season
Chig has had three QBs in three offenses with three different OCs and two different head coaches and four different TE coaches
Actually more QBs
Ray Barboni
Footballguy
Has he really?
… but really. Sure you’re correct on the number of QB’s and coaches - but has he, or has that team EVER had a competent QB or OC?
Chig has talent. I doubt you’re actually arguing with me - after all? This is a deep dynasty stash thread.
Are you confident in saying Chig is NOT a worthy deep dynasty stash?
TartanLion
Footballguy
Chig has had some name value for several years now. I’ve owned him for I think this will be the 3rd season in a row. It could well be that his lack of consistent production is coaching/QB based but doubt this HC is going anywhere and he’s had another underwhelming season.

Jordan Travis?

Interesting, you have kind of been on my case about Braelon Allen on here.
There's a level of condescension that I won't reply to here
EBF

There was a very similar thread the other day and I advocated going back to the well for some of the rookies who haven't had a great chance to pop yet. Jermaine Burton and MarShawn Lloyd are too high profile to be on waivers, but I'd be looking into trade offers, especially for Lloyd. He can be a top 10 dynasty startup type of guy if everything lines up. I liked Javon Baker's college clips a lot. Sounds like he's a diva off the field. With a year to mature and adapt to the pro game, maybe he can earn some snaps next season like Boutte. NE passing game has nowhere to go but up. For that matter, I still hold out hope for Polk.
When I was deep into dynasty, I always operated under the assumption that anyone who makes a roster is worth looking at. One thing you can do is check out the opening day 53s and look into some of the unknown WR/RB who stuck. If they aren't special teams aces, that means they probably showed something in camp. Today's WR4 could be tomorrow's Khalil Shakir or Jauan Jennings. Along those lines, RB Julius Chestnut (TEN) is someone who I thought had a pulse going into his rookie year. It's year three and he's still in the league picking up some carries here and there, so maybe he's a candidate for super deep leagues.

Rodgers and Taylor are both signed through 2006. Assuming no cut or retirement or resigning, Travis could be their man in 2006, although are the Jets going to take a QB in this years draft? I doubt they just decided to spend a 5th round on him for the heck of it. I remember seeing a highlight reel and I thought wow (but I guess that's the point of a highlight reel) he was 5th in Heisman voting. Maybe he's not the same after the injury and he becomes a waste of a roster space.
@ Gatorade
or was the thinking more about him being a FSU guy?
zamboni
Footballguy
He's a restricted FA, I believe, but not sure the Niners will bother trying to retain him with Guerendo in the fold and their ability to plug and play other guys.
Gjallarhorn
Footballguy
Is Eli Mitchell still a thing over in Frisco?
zamboni
Footballguy
Good call - I didn't even think of Mitchell. He's a UFA and they could probably bring him back cheap too.
JohnnyU
Footballguy
How's that? I don't consider Allen a deep stash, but do with Isaiah Davis. Now that Hall is banged up Davis certainly becomes more relevant and is in a murky RB situation with Allen.

Jet fan here....he's not very good.
JohnnyU

Ohio St. fan here....I agree.

My criteria for deep is 1% owned or less in Yahoo fantasy leagues:
Tylan Wallace (WR-Bal)
Wallace was an intriguing WR prospect in the 2021 NFL Draft who fell to the 4th round and ended up in an unfortunate landing spot. Shown some flashes this year: 9 targets, 9 catches, 183 yards and a touchdown. He's an UFA in 2025, so will be interesting to see if another team picks him up with a chance to be a second stringer. He's a long shot, but I liked him out of college.
Keaton Mitchell (RB-Bal)
Another Ravens player. He's injury-dependent to have any value, but that's often the case for backup RB's on any team. Not too many examples like Detroit with two RB's being fantasy startable. I like Mitchell as a stash in the off-chance that Derrick Henry gets injured and the Ravens are forced to include Mitchell in a committee with Justice Hill. He's a discount De'Von Achane if he gets reps. 2025 more realistic timetable for any fantasy value to re-emerge.
Sam Howell (QB-Sea)
He's mistake prone but his rushing upside raises his floor a bit and is on a team with a great group of skill players. That Seahawks offensive line needs serious work though. Howell is worth a look if Geno Smith misses any time or is demoted.
Jared Wiley (TE-KC)
This one is a sneaky IR stash. There are Chiefs fans who seem to believe he, not Noah Gray, is the long-term TE for the team and the guy who more closely resembles Travis Kelce's skillset. Spent the year on special until he tore his ACL in practice last month. A developmental prospect if you have the patience for it given how long it takes TE's to acclimate to the NFL level.
Brenton Strange (TE-JAX)
Another TE, this one out of the TE factory that is Penn State. Second round draft capital (2023). Looked very capable when he started 4 games in place of Evan Engram earlier this year (12-120-2 on 18 targets, fantasy TE7 during that stretch). Jaguars have Engram for one more year before they can void if they want at his age 32 season.

Nice list, but I disagree on Wiley. Gray is the better stash for now.
InDitkaWeTrust
Footballguy
Agreed. I think he has the tools to be a starter in the league.
Lansdowne
Footballguy
Gray is 21% owned in Yahoo leagues (and I imagine that percentage is higher in dynasty leagues), thus doesn't fit the criteria I'm looking for with my list. I agree that Gray is the better stash, and will emphasize the "for now" part of your post. Gray is the safer bet, Wiley is the higher ceiling dart throw.
JohnnyU
Footballguy
I don't put too much stock in yahoo owned percentage. Yes, Gray is owned in all my dynasty leagues. Wiley is not. I agree with that for the most part. Not saying Wiley won't be something eventually, but Gray is only 25 and has the trust of Mahomes and Reid. I don't see that changing in the near future.
titusbramble
Footballguy
Half of these players mentioned are not deep stashes in the slightest
JohnnyU
Footballguy
I think deep stashes are boring most of the time unless there is a foreseeable path. not related to injury. Some players are buried that may have good draft capital, or not, but may have a spot opening up next year or 2026 because of contract situations. To me that is interesting.
Football Jones
Footballguy
There are several nice TE stashes this offseason...
Wiley and Strange have previously been mentioned. Both are good stashes, especially Wiley. Gray is a decent player, but he simply doesn't have the upside that Wiley has. Wiley may not hit, and the ACL didn't help, but I'm ok missing out on Gray if he ends up being the guy. I'll take a chance on striking gold over Gray's TE2 upside.
My top stash is Jelani Woods. Injuries have been a killer so far, but his ceiling is sky-high and nobody is in his way.

The rumors were that the Colts were on the verge of cutting Woods.
I actually mentioned Mitchell in the other thread like this one which was started a few days ago.
One of the reasons I think he could emerge with value is the Shanahan tree is so large right now so a lot of potential system fits and the game breaking big play skill set he has is a good fit as part of a RBBC. Obviously the elephant in the room with him is he can't stay healthy, but we are talking free or cost of a roster spot here.
As with any of these fringe RB's the draft class is extremely deep at RB so holding value through the draft won't be easy. Mitchell's probably not the kind of guy I really want to hold on some smaller roster FFPC type league, nor most of the players in this thread, but in a little larger type league he is plus if you got an open IR spot you can slide him over he won't even take up a normal roster spot yet.
JohnnyU
Footballguy
He took a long walk on a short tier.
Football Jones
Footballguy
It looks like they're going to give him another shot. Who knows if he can stay healthy, but the talent is there.
JohnnyU
Footballguy
May draft one high
zamboni
Footballguy
Agreed - the number of big name UFA RBs will be light this year, nothing like this past offseason. Which means a lot of collective holding of breath in April.
sushinsky4tsar
Footballguy
Malik Willis belongs in this thread with his running upside given what he was able to do in backup duty.
I'm not sure that any team is going to come calling to put him in a real competition to start in 2025, or at least not any team where he's likely to have success. However, I like his fantasy upside more than a lot of other backup QBs that have been mentioned in the unlikely event of something unforeseen happening to the #1.

Zow

He was my "deep stash" last year. Really thought he'd beat out some of the players ahead of him going into this year but he didn't.
Boone22
Footballguy
Isn’t he still with Green Bay in 2025?
JohnnyU
Footballguy
Who do you like better between Willis and Howell?
zamboni
Footballguy
Just don't think it's going to ever happen for Willis. While he does bring fantasy upside with his legs, I don't see any team having him as a starting QB unless pressed into duty based on injury like this year.
sushinsky4tsar
Footballguy
I'll split the difference. Howell probably more likely to win a starting gig at some point and factor into superflex. Willis for the 5% outcome / pure fantasy upside.
