• His final years in college football were plagued by injuries, which might have contributed to his draft value declining.

• Wilson has NFL prototypical size, athleticism, and successful wide receiver statistics, which makes him a good addition to the team.

• The Cardinals drafted him to swing for the upside as well.

• Cedric Tillman is a wide receiver from Tennessee drafted by the Cleveland Browns over a dynasty span.

• Dallas Cowboys got another tight end, Luke Schoonmaker, who has a clear path to be the starting tight end and pass catcher for week one.

• Despite being older for a rookie 00:25, he has short yard and short area quickness.

• The pick for the Detroit Lions as a tight end is Sam Laporta who might have early success and the ability to establish himself in a dynasty league.

• Sam Laporta is a better option than Luke Shoemaker when it comes to dynasty drafts and he could have a better fantasy career than Dalton Kincaid or Michael Mayer.

• It’s wise to take second round wide receivers at the beginning of the rookie drafts and grab tight ends in the back half.

• Rookie quarterbacks target their running backs slightly above league average, with a 20.4% target share since 2014.

• Miles Sanders could be very valuable if he ends up with a higher target share than he had in Philadelphia, perhaps a 16 or 17% target share, making him worthy of fantasy football consideration.

• Jaden Reed’s contribution to the team’s offense as a rookie is unclear, and there are a few other options.

• Christian Watson is unlikely to be a high-volume guy as he was last year.

• Dobbs and Watson had similar reception stats last year with Dobbs at 42 and Watson at 41, but Dobbs played one fewer game than Watson.

• It’s possible Dobbs could be the PPR for the team, but the hype regarding his talent is not wholly justified.

• He is a 27-year-old running back for the Cleveland Browns under contract for two more years.

• Chubb was the number one running back for the first eight weeks of last season despite not being ranked near the top 5.

• Cleveland has a barren backfield, and Chubb is projected to have an excellent season.

• The trade depends on one’s beliefs about Cleveland’s offense and whether a younger player is preferred.

• Chubb is a two-year championship window acquisition for a team that is looking to close the gap and win.

• He is a top-level runner, rushing for at least 5 yards per carry every year for five straight years.

• The hosts discuss the strategy of capitalizing on running backs in their second contract and trading them away for a young running back and a first-round pick or something replenishing.

Nick Chubb‘s Trade Target 29:44

• Nick Chubb had a great season last year with 12 rushing touchdowns.

• However, from week 13 through the end of the year, he was on pace for a 17 game pace of zero rushing touchdowns.

• He was still in pace for almost 1400 rushing yards in the DeSean Watson stretch, but the fact that he scored no rushing touchdowns, that hurts.

• The fear of him not getting enough rushing touchdowns can be put into somebody else and he may be acquired.

Jason’s Dynasty League Trade For Candidate: JK Dobbins 30:30

• JK Dobbins is a great trade target in a Dynasty League.

• He had a rookie season where he showed flashes of brilliance and he showed more last year despite having an injury mid-way through the year.

• During his final four games, he was able to put together some insane numbers, averaging 99.3 yards per game and scoring multiple touchdowns

• The Baltimore offense he plays in is very promising and with the addition of the new receiver situation for Lamar Jackson, it’s only going to get better.

  

  We do the work. You dominate your draft.

  Get the 2023 UDK

• The volume in the ground game is expected to be great as JK Dobbins was on pace for roughly 242 rushing attempts.

Baltimore offense improvement 33:54

• The Baltimore offense will likely be much better than last year due to the improved wide receiver corps.

• The additional wide receivers in the lineup prevent opponents from stacking the box.

• The increased opportunities to move the ball lead to more touchdowns.

  Get the 2023 UDK

• Without Lamar Jackson carrying the ball so much, JK Dobbins will have more opportunities to carry the ball.

Trades for JK Dobbins 34:29

• Some older running backs that could be moved to pick up JK Dobbins include Dalvin Cook and Derek Henry.

• The perceived value of JK Dobbins is not high.

• Alexander Madison could also be an appealing pick up as a potential starting running back for the Minnesota Vikings if Dalvin Cook is traded.

Trading for Alexander Mattison 37:55

• If you trade for Alexander Mattison in June, you’ll pay more because there’s a risk he may not be traded.

• A good trade opportunity would be a second-round pick, but it’s a risky call since the success rate of second-round picks is low.

Alexander Mattison vs Malcolm Brown‘s Deals 38:42

• Madison’s $7m deal is almost fully guaranteed over the next two years.

• This is very similar to Malcolm Brown‘s $5.6m deal.

  Get the 2023 UDK

• The Vikings might be willing to go into the season with only Madison since Ty Chandler is unproven and McBride was a late-round pick.

• They could add someone else if need be, but it has to be cost-efficient since they can’t afford to clear Dalvin Cook‘s money or take his dead cap.

Trade Candidate: Saquon Barkley 40:50

• Owners of Saquon Barkley in dynasty leagues should trade him now because he’s on the franchise tag.

• His long-term offer was rescinded by the Giants, making him a risky investment.

Jonathan Taylor trade targets and strategies 46:00

• According to the video creators, Jonathan Taylor is going to have a big year in 2023 as he is likely to be a top 10 running back in redraft leagues.

• However, the video also suggests that trading Taylor could be a wise move if the right offer comes along.

• The creators believe that Taylor’s value could potentially decrease in the future as he gets older or if the Colts offense underperforms.

  Get the 2023 UDK

• They suggest trading him for a player who is performing at the same level currently like Saquon Barkley or Josh Jacobs or a hall of fame type trade offer.

• There is a good chance that Taylor’s value could increase if he has a monster year in the upcoming season.

• One of the creators admits that he traded for Taylor last year after the running back had a great season, and he thinks that other fantasy owners could potentially make the same mistake.

Selling Jonathan Taylor‘s potential 46:45

The potential risks associated with Jonathan Taylor 47:44

  .

• The creators also note that historically, the ceiling for running backs tends to be lower when the quarterback is an elite rushing quarterback, which could limit Taylor’s production if Richardson has a great year.

• However, if the Colts offense performs well in the upcoming season, Taylor’s value could increase.

Trade away Aaron Jones 47:54

• The video creators discuss the risks associated with keeping Aaron Jones, the Green Bay Packers running back.

• They note that Jones is aging (28.5 years old) and still has two years left on his contract, so the Packers will need to decide whether to pay him a lot of money or trade him away.

• Jones’s success is also tied to the performance of Jordan Love, who is taking over from Aaron Rodgers as the starting quarterback.

• The creators note that the Packers showed a lack of confidence in Love by not giving him the fifth-year option, which could negatively impact Jones’s production.

Aaron Jones and AJ Dillon‘s Future with the Packers 50:19

• The Packers gave Aaron Jones a two-year extension, but it is speculated that they may release him next year to save some money.

• If they release him, the Packers will have to take the cap hit.

• There’s a possibility that Aaron Jones will play in the upcoming season and then be done with or looking for another team.

• With Jordan Love at quarterback, there will be a reset of values in Green Bay.

• Nobody knows what to expect from Jordan Love since we saw very little from him last year.

• In the Dynasty format, projecting a couple of years ahead, it’s going to be interesting to watch the Packers’ identity and what they’re trying to build.

• AJ Dillon doesn’t seem like the future there and had a not-so-great year last year.

• AJ Dillon‘s average carry was 3.9 last year, which was a bit of a letdown from what was hoped for.

• It looks like AJ Dillon will get a committee contract, and he may get a contract in the same range as David Montgomery‘s.
