dynasty ... end of season lotto tickets? (1 Viewer)

[Jppaul]

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 add hoping they'll have roster or trade value for you next season?

Sam Howell - Seattle?

Good topic.

I’m looking to grab Calcaterra tomorrow morning in the one league where I just moved Goddert to IR.

I don’t know if it’s worth it at all, but in a league where I had an empty IR slot, I grabbed Badie RB DEN, cuz why the hell not with that crazy backfield.

I think a lot of the offensive players are already known and owned at this point. Guys who might make noise are RBs like Guerendo or maybe Estime.

I like the Sincere nod as maybe the best fit for the heart of this thread. Maybe a super stash for a rookie like George Holani as a talented guy yet to make any noise. Daniel Bellinger has a big opportunity to remind someone he can be a good TE and/or same team could also possibly show the resurgence of TE Greg Dulcich. One or both should get opportunities and could be good dart throws to see what happens.

I think most value is hiding on defense for the young guys set to break out. DBs are often not a recommended hold in dynasty, but a few safeties are starting to come on as rookies that might be anchors there (Demani Richardson, Coby Bryant) or nickels like Tyler Smith or young LBs that made noise in preseason (Amari Gainer).

I’m also looking at guys working back from injury (Drew Sanders) and maybe some guys who’ve fallen off that a new regime might revitalize (Isaiah Simmons).

In my superflex keeper league, I am looking at Penix and JJ McCarthy

 

[Boone22]

If we are talking about looking forward to next year I like:
Sincere McCormick as a dart throw (but I would expect LV to address the RB position through free agency or a later round draft pick)
Foster Moreau (Juwan Johnson is an UFA next year)
Rondale Moore (another dart throw who currently can be stashed on IR for the rest of this season)

 

[finfansteve]

I dropped Gus Edwards last night and grabbed Troy Franklin just in case. Couple bronco fans in that league maybe I can get a some value this offseason for him

Leagues can be different, the following players are FA's in at least one of my leagues, Keaton the only one below not available in multiple:

Luke Musgrave
Keaton Mitchell
Brenton Strange
Elijah Mitchell
Malik Washington
Jordan Whittington

I dropped my second kicker (Bates) to pick up Abanikanda. I attempted to drop Alec Pierce to pick up McCormick. Couldn't get him, so then I dropped Pierce to pick up Isaiah Davis. Might not be worth the guys that I dropped ... but what the heck. RB's are gold in our league so if he gets a shot and shines could be a nice trade piece in the offseason.

Surprised they’d be avaiable at all in superflex

It's a keeper league, so depending on how many keepers I could believe it.

Yes - we keep 8

In that case yeah I'd say it's surprising they're available. I thought maybe a 1-3 keeper type of situation.

You would think a team that was out of it would be grabbing QBs like that ASAP than figuring out the keeper situation later.

In the past week I have added Mac Jones, Chris Rodriguez , Isaiah Davis, Grant Calceterra, and Dawson Knox.

Nothing more than lotto tickets except for Calceterra. I think Goedert is in the last year of his contract, so if he moves on after the season Calceterra will be starting next year.

This is what many of my league mates don't get... Why exit the season with available slots?

I also have badie in an IR slot in one league, along with jelani woods

George Holani

Oh crap! I forgot about him... And my son told me to taxi him months ago

Thanks!

I'd be looking at some of the players I liked as rookies who haven't been given an extended opportunity yet.

MarShawn Lloyd might have been my favorite rookie RB this year, but injuries have made him irrelevant. I'd be testing his owners with trade offers right about now. It's a move that might win you a league in the future because his ceiling is off the charts if he puts the pieces together.

Javon Baker has been invisible in New England so far. I liked him as a draft prospect. I also liked Boutte last year and he barely played as a rookie. This year he has been a lot more involved. It doesn't always happen right away. I'd be holding/buying Baker and hoping he can have a good camp next summer. New England's WR depth chart is jammed with a bunch of medium-good guys like Polk, Bourne, Boutte, and Baker. At the moment none are very relevant, but that can change.

Jermaine Burton is another rookie WR headcase who has the talent to impact in the future.

Not sure if anyone is holding AJ Barner in dynasty leagues, but there's a Kyle Rudolph type of ceiling there. Pretty decent rookie year so far. Theo Johnson was also showing flashes before his injury. The upside of these TEs is not exciting, but they can be bye week cover with medium long-term potential.

If we're talking about veterans, I still don't think we've seen what Alec Pierce looks like with capable QB play. He'll be entering the final season of his contract next summer, and his skill set seems like it may attract FA interest. Teams want big plays and deep threats. Gabe Davis got a nice contract from Jacksonville and he's a fraction of the player Pierce can be. If you stick Pierce with an elite downfield passing QB, he becomes a realistic 1,000 yard threat weekly starter type of guy IMO. Even with horrendous QB play and spotty target volume, he is 31st in the NFL in receiving yards.

Just FYI that Goedert is signed through the end of the 2026 season though that 2026 season is backloaded funny money he won’t be seeing. I expect him back in 2025.

Thank you. You are correct. I must have been thinking of someone else. Barner or Strange might be better TE lotto tickets than Calceterra.

 

[Mister CIA]

Half my dynasty WRs are lotto tickets and I have thoughts.

Malik Washington: I'm pretty bullish on this guy. They have a type and this guy fits.

NWI: I've gotten three solid starts from the guy, and I'm not expecting much more.

Iosivas: Tyler Boyd is probably his max outcome.

Elijah Moore: I've come close to giving up on this guy, but not yet. Would love to see him land a gig in Charger land.

Jalen Tolbert: There's a a lot to like, but his ceiling is probably limited. ... yet I get a Roddy White vibe for some strange reason.

Turpin: nope, just a little roster flair for a week or two. Would probably flex a kicker first if I needed a start.



Cade Stover: I'll be raving about this guy a year from now.

Sean Tucker: he's a capable NFL RB.

Sam Howell: future is a little uncertain, but the situation is worth monitoring. He could step into a sweet gig.

I like Strange. Engram has a $19.75M cap hit next year. Could be a lot of turnover in Jax.

Maybe a super stash for a rookie like George Holani as a talented guy yet to make any noise.

I’ve already started stashing him this year, but what makes us think he’ll beat out Kenneth Walker and Zach Charbonnet?

Not much, I’m afraid. He’s going to need injuries to get seen. He’s good, but not good like Walker was and is.

In dynasty, I don’t care what team he’s on. Yes, he’s currently blocked, but if you believe in his talent then he’s a good stash as someone will find him. He can always be signed from their practice squad elsewhere.

The Raiders have a revolving door of backs. Dallas needs help. Does Arizona really believe Benson is Conner’s successor? Etc.
