The Dynasty Nerds crew dove deep into tight end evaluations across eight NFL draft classes, revealing which years produced the most fantasy-relevant players at the position. Garret Price , Jagger May , and Andrew Mott broke down every class from 2020 through 2027, discussing hits, misses, and future expectations. Listen to This Episode: š§ Apple Podcasts šļø Spotify ā¶ļø YouTube The 2025 tight end class earned universal praise, with all three analysts ranking it as a top-two class. Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren lead the way as potential top-12 dynasty assets, while Harold Fannin , Mason Taylor , Terrance Ferguson , and Elijah Arroyo provide impressive depth. The hosts believe at least four tight ends from this class could crack the dynasty top 12. Looking ahead, Kenyan Siddiq emerged as the early favorite from the 2026 class, with comparisons to elite athletic tight ends. The 2027 class remains a mystery, ranked seventh out of benefit of the doubt, but could rise significantly as more information becomes available.

Rich Dotson , Matt O'Hara , and Garret Price debated aging dynasty assets on the Dynasty Nerds podcast. Jonathan Taylor (27 next season) earned mixed reviewsāMatt and Rich want to ride him out while Garret seeks creative exit strategies. AJ Brown (29) got similar treatment, with Matt preferring to wait for a better landing spot. The trio agreed to hold George Kittle (32) despite injury concerns, citing the lack of return value. Taylor's 300-plus touch workload raised red flags despite elite production. Garret would move him for Quinshon Judkins plus a 2-1 or flip him with picks for Devon Achane . Rich prefers holding unless he can get Treveon Henderson straight up, noting Taylor's trade value still commands a 2027 first plus another asset. Matt leaned toward riding it out one more year in Indianapolis' offense. Josh Jacobs (28) earned unanimous "ride it out" verdicts. Rich emphasized Jacobs has been a perennial RB1 since entering the league, calling him "the Dak Prescott of running backs" in terms of consistent value and trade difficulty. The seven-year veteran entered the league at 20 and remains in his athletic prime despite heavy usage. Matt acknowledged nervousness but agreed one more year makes sense before selling. Brown's situation in Philadelphia creates uncertainty, but his talent keeps him WR10 overall. Rich named Ladd McConkey , Rome Odunze , Marvin Harrison Jr. , and Garrett Wilson as lateral move targets if contenders want to get younger. Garret compared Brown to Mike Evans and Davante Adams āreceivers everyone thinks are done before they actually are, projecting 2-3 more WR1 seasons. Chris Godwin (30) got unanimous "ride it out" tags. Rich sold him for a second in a rebuild but called it slight underselling. With Mike Evans likely gone and Godwin running 90% of routes post-injury, Tampa's offensive usage solidifies his 2026 value. The panel suggested buying Godwin for a mid-second as a contender. Dak Prescott (33) sparked debate about George Pickens' future impact on his value. All three hosts prefer holding unless they own multiple elite QBs, with Garret advocating for the "old boring quarterback" strategy of cycling through 30-34 year old QBs instead of paying premium prices for youth. Rich has preached trading firsts for 2-3 year veteran windows for 11 years. Kittle's 14.3 PPG (fourth among tight ends) doesn't offset availability concerns. Matt suggested targeting Tucker Kraft post-ACL as an exit, but Rich countered that no contender return fills the Kittle void. The only straight-up deal all three would accept: Harold Fannin , who Rich ranks closer to Colston Loveland than most realize. 00:00 Start 06:34 Get Out Early? 07:22 Jonathan Taylor 15:24 AJ Brown 27:07 Chris Godwin 30:07 Dark Prescot 39:09 Josh Jacobs 44:26 George Kittle Learn more about your ad choices.

Rich Dotsonā , ā Matt O'Haraā , and ā Garret Priceā debated fantasy breakout candidates on the Dynasty Nerds podcast. AD Mitchell earned a 3/5 belief rating after averaging 15 PPR points over three games with the Jets. Tyler Shough and Devin Neal emerged as cheap SuperFlex depth options in New Orleans. Rich's bold prediction: Trevor Lawrence establishes himself as a top-12 dynasty quarterback in 2026 under Liam Cohen's offense. Mitchell topped the risers with six-plus targets per game since joining New York. Rich gave him a 3/5, citing athletic upside but noting he needs everything to break right. If the Jets land Fernando Mendoza , Mitchell could thrive as the Z receiver opposite Garrett Wilson . Matt compared his ceiling to Jameson Williams ' role in Detroit. Jalen Coker disappointed the panel despite recent production. Garret rated him just 1.5/5, predicting Carolina adds a tight end like Kyle Pitts or Dallas Goedert in free agency, pushing Coker to WR3. Rich saw him as pure trade baitāa "scale tipper" with name value exceeding actual dynasty upside. Shough earned 3.5-4/5 ratings as New Orleans' likely 2026 starter after winning back-to-back games. Garret compared him to Davis Mills ācompetent enough to be a QB2 but not a long-term franchise solution. Neal scored 2.5/5 as a Brian Robinson type who could split carries with Alvin Kamara if the Saints move on from the 31-year-old's $18 million cap hit. Rich's crystal ball prediction centered on Lawrence becoming QB2 overall since the bye week. With Travis Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr. developing in year two, he projects Lawrence as a top-8 dynasty quarterback. Garret's bold take: 2026 will have the fewest fantasy-relevant day-one and day-two NFL Draft picks in 15 years, with only Jeremiyah Love , one or two quarterbacks, and 4-5 receivers worth first-round rookie picks. Gunner Helm received 4/5 ratings as a sneaky tight end buy with Tennessee's bare cupboard creating opportunity alongside Cam Ward . Jayden Reed scored 3-4.5/5 despite Green Bay's crowded receiver room, with the panel split on whether he can consistently crack starting lineups.

Garret Price and Andrew Mott reviewed the 2025 rookie wide receivers and tight ends on the Dynasty Nerds podcast. Tetairoa McMillan and Emeka Egbuka posted nearly identical stats, while Luther Burden emerged as Chicago's future alongside Rome Odunze. The tight end class delivered four potential top-10 dynasty assets in Colston Loveland , Tyler Warren , Harold Fannin , and Oronde Gadsden . Listen to This Episode: š§ Apple Podcasts šļø Spotify ā¶ļø YouTube Travis Hunter showed improvement before injury, trending toward 80% snap counts on offense with 14 targets in his final game. Andrew called him underrated in current trade markets despite the two-way player concerns. T-Mac and Egbuka both finished with nearly identical productionā59 and 58 receptions, 851 and 870 yards, six touchdowns eachāwith T-Mac proving more consistent week-to-week. Matthew Golden disappointed both analysts, with Garret ranking him WR8 pre-draft and Andrew viewing him as a second-round rookie pick value. His blocking deficiencies mirror the issues that limited Jaden Reed's snap counts in Green Bay. Burden sits at 479 yards with three games remaining, positioned to be Chicago's Amon-Ra St. Brown in Ben Johnson's offense once DJ Moore departs. The 2025 tight end class may be historic. Warren and Loveland lead the way as potential top-four dynasty tight ends, with Andrew preferring Warren due to less target competition in Indianapolis. Fannin has been the surprise, posting 667 yards and making David Njoku's free agency decision easy for Cleveland. Gadsden's 602 yards as a converted wide receiver gives the Chargers a legitimate receiving weapon. Even depth pieces like Mason Taylor (369 yards in Houston's struggling offense) and Gunner Helm (347 yards for Miami) show promise. Andrew emphasized the tight end development window: 90% of multi-year top-six tight ends hit that threshold within their first two seasons.

Dynasty Risers and Fallers: JJ McCarthy, Kyle Pitts, and Joe Burrow Rich Dotson , Garret Price , and Jagger May broke down the week's biggest dynasty risers and fallers on the latest podcast. JJ McCarthy topped the risers after back-to-back solid performances, while Kyle Pitts exploded for 45.6 PPR points. On the flip side, Joe Burrow continues to struggle, raising concerns about his long-term future in Cincinnati. Listen to This Episode: š§ Apple Podcasts šļø Spotify ā¶ļø YouTube Rich emphasized that McCarthy remains obtainable despite his recent success, projecting he could be acquired for a first-round pick plus. The young quarterback is completing over 73% of his passes with six touchdowns across two games in Kevin O'Connell's system. Garret threw cold water on the hype, noting McCarthy faced the third and first-worst defenses against fantasy quarterbacks, but all three hosts agreed the positional value makes him worth the gamble. Luther Burden also earned riser status after leading the Bears in targets since Week 10, though Rich cautioned his value is situational with Rome Odunze returning soon. Pitts' massive game sparked debate about whether this is his second coming or just a contract-year fluke, with the Patriots and Commanders emerging as potential landing spots. The fallers list featured Sam Darnold cooling off after a hot start, Stefon Diggs entering his Keenan Allen phase, and Burrow raising Andrew Luck retirement comparisons. Jagger highlighted the Bengals' organizational cheapness as a major concern for Burrow's health and happiness moving forward.

Garret Price , Andrew Mott , and Jagger May ranked wide receiver classes from 2020 to 2027 on the College Show. The 2024 class topped their rankings despite Year 2 disappointments from Marvin Harrison Jr. , Malik Nabers , and Brian Thomas Jr. The crew also hyped the 2027 class featuring Jeremiah Smith , who some believe could be the best prospect in years. The hosts agreed the 2021 class ranked second overall, producing dynasty assets like Ja'Marr Chase , Amon-Ra St. Brown , and Nico Collins . The 2020 class landed fourth despite early whiffs on Jalen Reagor over Justin Jefferson . Meanwhile, 2023 ranked dead last entering the draft but got salvaged by Puka Nacua and Jaxon Smith-Njigba . Looking ahead, the 2026 class lacks a true alpha, with Jordan Tyson, Carnell Tate, and Makai Lemon forming a solid but unspectacular top tier. The 2027 class stole the show, with Smith drawing Julio Jones comparisons and Cam Coleman rounding out an elite top duo.

Rich Dotson , Matt O'Hara , and Garret Price return to the Dynasty Nerds podcast to reflect on the biggest mistakes and lessons learned from the 2025 dynasty fantasy football season. With decades of experience between them, the hosts dive into the critical errors that cost dynasty managers championships and the strategies that led to success. Listen to This Episode: š§ Apple Podcasts šļø Spotify ā¶ļø YouTube Rich's biggest regret? Letting NFL draft capital override his film room evaluations. He moved Kaleb Johnson up his board over Cam Skattebo simply because of draft position, despite his tape analysis favoring Skattebo. The lesson: stick with your February to May process, because post-draft adjustments have a ridiculously low hit rate. Matt learned that even elite players like Justin Jefferson need competent quarterbacks and offensive lines. When everything crumbles around a superstar receiver, even the best talent becomes unreliable. Meanwhile, Garret went all in on 14 of his 21 teams, and all 14 made the playoffs with eight finishing as the number one scoring team. The takeaway? Avoid the middle at all costs. Either go all in or blow it up completely.

The Dynasty Nerds wrap up the 2025 regular season with their annual awards show. Hosts Rich Dotson , Matt O'Hara , and Garret Price hand out hardware to the breakout stars, disappointments, comebacks, and MVP candidates that defined fantasy football this year. From the Nico Collins Award to the Kim Kardashian Comeback Player trophy, this episode celebrates the players who exceeded expectations and the ones who fell short. Listen to This Episode: š§ Apple Podcasts šļø Spotify ā¶ļø YouTube George Pickens dominates the Nico Collins Award as wide receiver three on the season after his trade to Dallas. Running a full route tree alongside CeeDee Lamb and Dak Prescott , Pickens proved he can be a true alpha receiver. The hosts debate whether he maintains his hunger after getting paid, but his production speaks for itself. Harold Fannin Jr. earns multiple trophies including Rookie Value Award after going in the third round of rookie drafts. The 21 year old Cleveland tight end has become the clear number one weapon for Shedeur Sanders , showcasing elite yards after catch ability and solid route running despite coming from Bowling Green. Javonte Williams unanimously wins the Kim Kardashian Comeback Player Award as running back seven. After devastating injuries derailed his career, Williams looks like his rookie self again in Dallas, breaking tackles and delivering the juice fantasy managers thought they'd never see again. The hosts hope he stays with the Cowboys to maximize his remaining window. Josh Jacobs claims Mr. Consistent for the second straight year, proving once again he's a set and forget running back one. Since 2021, Jacobs has finished as a running back one every season except his final Raiders year, making him one of the most underrated dynasty assets in fantasy football. Saquon Barkley earns Matt's "I Told You So" after his massive 378 touch season in 2024 led to predictable regression. Dropping from 21 points per game to 14.4, Barkley went from Superman to a mere mortal, validating concerns about his workload.
