How to start the offseason when you have extra rookie picks & want to buy players.

When making contending dynasty trades there's one thing you MUST KNOW - the extra benefit of trading healthy players for injured players in a rebuild (scoring less points, & getting a better draft pick.) This episode covers HOW to use that to your advantage.

Kevin is an expert DEVY writer for FantasyPros & the Co-Host of the Devy Royale. He joined me to answer questions about the his 2022 Rankings, the class tiers, comparisons to & valuations vs the 2023 class, & pick values in trades for established NFL players. There are a ton of good nuggets throughout the show & we close with a 3.01 or? 2.01 or? 1.01 or? rapid-fire at the 33:00 mark that you don't want to miss. 3:45 – Spiller/Hall/Walker, same tier? 7:00 – Kyren hype warranted? 9:30 – Burks in a tier of his own? Or not even WR1? 12:25 – Jameson vs London vs Pickens 20:00 – 2022 vs 2023 22:00 – Coming around on Malik Willis? 33:00 – Jalen Hurts > 1.01 (1.01 OR? Rapid-fire)

It worked

The first step to digging yourself out of a hole in dynasty fantasy football is to trade your veterans for youth + rookie picks. But how do you take that a step further? & what can you do with those rookie picks when they're on the clock to create compounded value?

People are getting fed up with Saquon Barkley, the injuries, & the underperformance. The once-crowned-jewel has fallen from being valued as a high-end RB1 & top-12 startup pick, to not even being valued as top-12 RB & just barely staying inside the top-50 overall. The narratives surrounding Saquon Barkley are strong - but they're also strikingly similar to the narratives which made Joe Mixon, Deebo Samuel, James Conner, & even Leonard Fournette league-winners this past year. How do they compare? & can Saquon be the next one to "bounce-back?"
