Our 2026 Rookie Mock Draft! Dynasty Fantasy Football Podcast - EP. 774

Garret Price and Jagger May break down the top 72 dynasty rankings for Superflex tight end premium leagues, revealing a major philosophical shift toward elite running backs. The hosts agree that securing elite running backs has become critical for dynasty success. Bijan Robinson sits at three overall, with Jahmyr Gibbs at 11 and De'Von Achane cracking the top 24 at 13. Jagger emphasizes that his struggling teams this season all faded running back early, leading to his philosophical change. Garret explains that Josh Allen and Drake Maye remain the only quarterbacks he feels comfortable taking in the first round, with quarterback depth allowing managers to wait until rounds five or six for Jared Goff or Dak Prescott. Both consistently finish as QB1s despite being undervalued. Jaxson Dart ranks ahead of Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert at 21 overall, with both hosts praising his production despite having no coaching stability and limited weapons. Price's rankings feature only six quarterbacks in the top 24, a dramatic shift from previous seasons when he'd rank 11 or 12 signal-callers that high. The duo identifies round four as a crucial buy low tier, featuring Marvin Harrison Jr, Brian Thomas Jr, and George Pickens. Pickens draws particular praise from Jagger despite contract year concerns about his effort level after getting paid. Kyle Pitts also earns strong backing at tight end eight after a solid season with Atlanta that featured consistent floor production.

Dynasty Nerds 1QB 2026 Rookie Mock Draft Garret Price and Jagger May conduct a two-round 1QB mock draft for the 2026 class, revealing where prospects are landing in early rookie drafts. Jeremiyah Love goes 1.01 without debate, with Jagger arguing Love could be the top pick even in Superflex formats due to running back scarcity. The next three selections reveal the wide receiver tier Price and May view as interchangeable: Makai Lemon, Carnell Tate, and Jordan Tyson go back-to-back-to-back. The duo emphasizes that missing on these early picks would be devastating given the class's lack of depth. Justice Haynes at 1.05 and Kenyon Siddiq at 1.06 represent the positional scarcity plays, with Siddiq's blocking ability separating him from other receiving tight ends. Eli Stowers leads Round 2 as Price compares his versatility to Brock Bowers, while Jonah Coleman draws Doug Martin comparisons as a compact power runner. The hosts highlight Chris Brazzell as a ceiling play with freakish size and speed, warning that his testing numbers could vault him up draft boards. Quarterbacks Dante Moore and Fernando Mendoza don't come off the board until picks 1.11 and 2.05 respectively in the 1QB format, showcasing the positional value difference.

Garret Price, Jared Wackerly, and Jagger May dive into the players who could reshape the 2026 NFL Draft class and the explosive transfer portal movement in college football. The hosts identify Dante Moore as the quarterback who could elevate the 2026 class from mediocre to must-watch. Moore's combination of arm talent and mobility gives him legitimate top-five pick potential. Meanwhile, Ty Simpson's disappointing bowl performance likely sends him back to Alabama for another season. At running back, Justice Haynes holds the key to class depth. If Haynes returns to school, Jeremiah Love could become a 1.01 pick by scarcity alone. The wide receiver position hinges on Carnell Tate, whose decision impacts whether this class has legitimate first-round depth. Cam Coleman headlines the transfer market as a potential top-five NFL talent. Isaac Brown could skyrocket up draft boards with the right landing spot, while Dylan Raiola and Byrum Brown represent high-upside quarterback options seeking better situations.

How would you draft a dynasty team with category restrictions? Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price debuted a new game called The Build to close out 2025, drafting teams through ten rounds with unique constraints each turn. From selecting NFC quarterback wide receiver duos to choosing players under 25, the hosts battled to build the highest scoring roster using Dynasty GM point values. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Rich selected Bijan Robinson as his cornerstone piece, while Matt grabbed Jahmyr Gibbs. The duo picks created tough decisions, with Matt choosing Sam Darnold and Jackson Smith-Njigba from Seattle while Rich went with Jaxson Dart and Malik Nabers from the Giants. The tight end round proved crucial when Matt secured Brock Bowers before Rich settled for Tyler Warren. Rich ultimately won 66,251 to 61,210, though Matt argued his quarterback combination of Dak Prescott, Sam Darnold, and Drake Maye offered better long term value than Rich's Patrick Mahomes, Jaxson Dart, and Cam Ward. The hosts teased playing The Build again with different categories and reminded fans that offseason preparation starts now with rookie content ramping up in February. 00:00 Start 01:16 The Explanation 04:18 The Start (37:00) The Result Learn more about your ad choices.

The Dynasty Nerds Dynasty Fantasy Football Podcast crew delivered their final weekly buy and sell recommendations of the season, identifying key players whose values have shifted heading into championship week and the offseason. Garret and Jagger broke down late season opportunities across multiple positions, offering insights on which players to target now before values shift again. Kirk Cousins emerged as a surprising buy recommendation despite his benching in Atlanta. With numerous teams needing quarterbacks in 2026, including the Giants, Browns, Jets, and Saints, Cousins could land in a situation where he provides fantasy value similar to Joe Flacco. The hosts suggest acquiring him cheaply now and flipping him for a 2027 second or third round pick once desperation hits in Week 5. Cam Ward also drew discussion as a soft buy, with improved play suggesting he may not be the bust many feared. While concerns remain about decision making, Ward is no longer drowning when things go wrong, making him worth a late first round pick. Running back remains tricky with Josh Jacobs showing troubling signs of hitting the age cliff, while Omarion Hampton looks like the clear rookie running back one heading into next season.

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: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ 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 reviews—Matt 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—receivers 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 Dotson⁠, ⁠Matt O'Hara⁠, and ⁠Garret Price⁠ 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 bait—a "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—competent 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.
