Deep Dynasty Stashes 2025 (3 Viewers)

[sushinsky4tsar]

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.

Isn’t he still with Green Bay in 2025?

Wasn't sure, but yes, still under the rookie contract. Hell of an acquisition for Green Bay to get a quality backup at a $1.5M cap hit for next season. Presumably, Green Bay could sell for a nice profit if any team was serious about letting him compete with a rookie for a starting job. However, Love injury pressing him into action in the Packers offense might be his best shot to ascend.

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.

29/39 3TD 0INT 9.7 YPA throwing the football in Green Bay this year, to go with his mobility.

It's a long shot and would require something unforeseen to happen ahead of him. But if we're discussing backup NFL QBs that could somehow ascend all the way to a top 10 fantasy QB, this is where I would be looking. Unlike Darnold, he was just a 3rd round pick, but we've seen what can happen when a fledgling talent gains experience and suddenly finds opportunity in an offense that knows what it's doing.

Anyone have any idea what happens to AJ Dillon next year? 26 years old and set to be a UFA in 2025. Might stash him over the off-season and see what happens.

What was his record in the games he started this year?

I'm not sure he'll ever play again as that neck stinger which took him out this year has been bothering him since the end of 2023.

But I think he was an UFA last year and did not get much interest. GB resigned him on a unique contract that paid him around $2.5m IIRC but utilized something available, don't remember details, where it only counted against the cap as league minimum type, a little over a million.

We've all seen some players buried for dead emerge later so I won't say never, but between his injury and lack of interest last year when he was a FA it seems hard for this one to work out.

Too deep for my league. Would probably have a hard time choosing between him and CEH. Not bullish on him finding an opportunity that will leave him one injury away from mattering in fantasy, but stranger things have happened.

Free agency is a plus. The one I'm debating for my league is whether I should prioritize the older Khalil Herbert over the younger Dameon Pierce, on the premise that Herbert is a free agent, whereas Pierce has another year of imprisonment on the Texans kickoff return team. I know, the correct answer is neither.

Fair enough, it was just a name that popped up when I was looking at 2022-23 stats for free agents in my league.

Ha, got exact same internal debate in a league and have had the exact thought same thought process. I'm leaning Pierce fwiw but again share similar thought process so it's not clear.

Other then what you mentioned what is driving my decision is that Herbert only got back a 7th. That's better, I guess, then a 6 over 7 pick swap we see but not a lot better. So that just leads me to think, especially in a year with a strong draft class, Herbert won't get the type of contract or interest that makes him more then what Pierce is now, which is a two down handcuff. So in that case I'd just rather go younger, plus always a chance-however unlikely, the Texans free him.

I must see it the same way since Pierce is still on my roster and I dropped Herbert for the 3rd time this season (for Noah Gray) after it became clear Cincy was going to use him as much as Chicago.

Maddening that Pierce wasn't healthy when Mixon missed games early in the season. Both backs have probably already seen their best days. What I do know is that I'll go stark raving mad if either manages to reemerge on another team's roster after clogging mine for years.

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.

It looks like they're going to give him another shot. Who knows if he can stay healthy, but the talent is there.

May draft one high

It's possible. They've got a lot of needs, though. There's a couple good TE prospects in this draft, but it's not particularly deep.

If I were them, I'd hope Woods could stay healthy and shore up other positions.

TE is a glaring need. Woods may not make the team in 2025. They were really down on him in the offseason.

They may be down on Woods, but there's a reason he wasn't cut and that reason is raw talent. The Colts might very well take a day-3 TE, but I can't see the them taking one high, especially given this TE class.

The Colts have to shore up that D. Even if Richardson develops, they'll still be way short on D (much like the Bengals). It also wouldn't hurt if they could draft or sign an alpha at WR. Gotta give Woods another chance to see if he can stay healthy and that's apparently what they're doing.

I can see them taking one in the 1st or 2nd round given there are only two worth taking at all IMO. Warren and Loveland.

 

[Football Jones]

I believe he was already mentioned, but another TE of note is Ben Sinnott. He should be considered more than a deep stash, but Sinnott is worth value-checking in your league since he's flying under the radar.

I don't think Sinnott is a lock to be good, but he's close. I can see him and Daniels developing a chemistry much like Lamar/Andrews.

Those are the two, but I'd be absolutely shocked if they spent a 1st on a TE.

I guess we'll see soon enough...

Then taking either in the first isn’t far fetched if you think both will be gone before you pick in the 2nd. Talking NFL, not fantasy.

It's a possibility, but because of where the Colts will be picking, along with the quality of the TEs compared to the other positions in this class, as well as team dynamics, I'd put it at less than a 5% chance of them taking one in the 1st round.

TE drafting is a lottery at NFL and dynasty level.

I am done over thinking it.

 

[JohnnyU]

What are your thoughts on Jacob Cowing WR 49'ers? Deebo Samuel has a 16.6M base with a 4.8 signing bonus in 2025 and is a UFA in 2026 and voidable.

 

[Lansdowne]

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.

Engram out for the season, Strange's stock just went up

 

[socrates]

Whare your thoughts on Jacob Cowing WR 49'ers? Deebo Samuel has a 16.6M base with a 4.8 signing bonus in 2025 and is a UFA in 2026 and voidable.

I think Cowing has some talent, and Shanahan prides himself in finding and developing talent outside of the top picks, but the odds are stacked against Cowing breaking through for fantasy relevance. There may be too many mouths to feed in front of Cowing for him to become relevant any time soon. Brandon Aiyuk will return in 2025, Deebo and Jennings are both signed through 2025, and they just drafted Pearsall in the First Round. The 49ers are near the bottom of the League in deploying three-WR sets. In a season where WR injuries have been a significant factor for the 49ers, how much action has Cowing earned? Two receptions.

FYI they re-worked Deebo's contract a few months ago. His base is down to barely over a million. Would be significant dead money and LOSS of cap space if they cut or traded him before June 1. They can however move on from him after June 1 and pick up about $5m in cap space.

 

[Jppaul]

well, not a deep dynasty stash as he's probably rostered in all your leagues, so maybe someone wants to start a "dynasty buy-low" thread?

Marvin Mims DEN WR

listening to local radio right now, Cecil Lammey said that Mims is attending RB and TE "only" meetings. Mims is trying to learn as much as possible to contribute however the coaches want.

Since he currently only has 19 catches for 267 yards, he might be a great buy-low before week one next season.

Keaton Mitchell

Cedric Tillman
Daniel Jones

Also can’t rule out the possibility of the Ravens drafting Henry’s long term successor in Day 2 of what looks like a pretty strong RB class. If they do then it’s curtains for both Mitchell and Ali.

[Football Jones]

Tyler Badie is a fantastic stash. He's certainly the best RB prospect likely to be available in dynasty leagues right now. If Badie hadn't gotten hurt, there's no doubt in my mind he'd be Denver's feature back right now.

Tyler Badie is a fantastic stash. He's certainly the best RB prospect likely to be available in dynasty leagues right now. If Badie hadn't gotten hurt, there's no doubt in my mind he'd be Denver's feature back right now.

Interesting- haven’t thought about him in a long time. Any insight/scouting reports?

Not a lot other than I thought he was way underrated coming out of college. Outstanding production in the tough SEC, but his draft stock was likely hurt by his size. That said, smaller RBs are starting to emerge again and he looked REALLY good with the touches he got earlier this season.

Badie has some Kamara in his game and I can see Payton giving him a real shot next year (assuming they pass on adding a top RB). Lots of upside for only costing a roster spot.

BTW, Badie is the only player I know of who terminated his own contract (with the Ravens). Not exactly sure how it went down, but he was then signed by the Broncos.

These are the ones I am going with:
Keaton Mitchell
Eli Mitchell
Cedric Tillman
Daniel Jones

I wonder if Rasheen Ali is a better stash than Keaton Mitchcell for Baltimore in dynasty.

I have both, I have the deep stash and the standard bench player

Its Estime there next year, not sure why people sleep on him, he is a bull. And if McLaughlin is back there in 2025, I'd expect him to be RB2. And those 2 combined to be pretty solid. Badie is tiny, he'd never hold up 17 games. Maybe a nice change of pace or back outta the backfield.

Interesting note. All I can get is that he was waived by the Ravens, signed to their practice squad and then signed off the practice squad by the Broncos.

I know there were a lot of dynasty folks placing the sleeper label on him out of Mizzou. 6th round capital and getting let go by the Ravens knocked him off my "keep an eye out for this guy" list, but maybe it shoudn't have. Two big runs in limited action and a wide open rb room. Not a bad place to look for gems, coming from a guy who has spent a roster spot on McLaughlin for most of the past two seasons.

I'm probably more interested in healthy backs like Vaki, Ali, Chris Brooks, or Abanikanda to close out the season, but maybe Badie is worth another look in the offseason if the Broncos don't make a big splash drafting one.

Badie terminated his contract while on the Ravens' PS.

Estime is ok as a thumper, but Badie is a lot more dynamic and has a much higher ceiling, IMO.

Badie's value will either go way up or get deflated depending on what Denver does in the offseason.

 

[Football Jones]

Badie had his 21-day window opened and practiced without restriction. It might be too late in the season for him to get a stronghold on the feature role, but for leagues where you can still make pickups, he'd be a great last roster spot stash since RBs are typically zeroed out in dynasty leagues.

Estime more than a thumper. You dont need to be dynamic to be good in the NFL, and Badie is too small to endure.

You’re assuming too much in regards to Badie’s injury tolerance. If he doesn’t make it, it’ll almost assuredly be something other than his size.

Estime is ok…nothing special…a decent RBBC member, maybe. In these situations, the upside guy (Badie) is the one I want to roster, especially if he’s free.

 

[rockaction]

Mmm. Maybe. He’s listed at 5’8” 197 by the Broncos and the NFL. If he bulked a bit, I’d say you have a point (I came in here to read this and was initially skeptical of your claim). But not cracking two hundred is pretty much the cutoff line for feature backs. He does have a BMI Of 30, which is spot-on, so . . . I don’t know. If he gains just ten pounds good weight, I don’t see the size knock.

I believe Badie is available in all my leagues. For free too.

Badie doesn’t need to gain 10 pounds. He’s fine, as is. Kyren Williams is 5’9/202 compared to 5’8/197 for Badie and Badie is much more dynamic.

Not sure how BMI originally got so much validation, but I started completely ignoring it after Chris Johnson and Matt Forte came on the scene, not to mention an old-school guy like Marcus Allen. BMI is THE worst metric in FF, IMO. RBs have a typical build, in general, but lots of body types can be successful depending on traits.

 

[Football Jones]

BTW, Badie is a LONG way from a lock, but he makes a nice last roster spot gamble.

Hard to beat free.

BMI and its acceptability range for bellcow backs is one of the best statistics in FF, IMO. No other measurement so succinctly disqualifies so many guys from becoming a collegiate or professional running back. Citing one outlier isn’t going to get me to waver on how important that 27-33 range is (and IIRC it’s really 28-32). That and lower body thickness. An excellent measurement that other correlated measures (speed score) use to calculate its equation.

It’s that fundamental to the game.
