EPISODE 107 / FIRST 2023 TWO ROUND ROOKIE MOCK DRAFT!

The College Football Playoff is just around the corner, which can only mean one thing - Draft Season is right around the corner as well!
On today's show I run through my first two-round mock draft of the season. What's notable around the first round of 2023 rookie drafts at this point? After seeing a handful of years dominated by first round WRs, it looks like this will be the year that drafting running backs in round one is back in a big way!
Round two looks to be loaded with value for fantasy football managers as we see more running backs and a slew of wide receivers come off the board.

EPISODE 106 / CAN THE 2023 WR DRAFT CLASS LIVE UP TO THE HYPE OF PREVIOUS SEASONS?

College Football season is winding down, and the NFL season is a little more than halfway done, so what better time than to take an updated look of how things are going with one of the most important positions for dynasty fantasy football: the wide receiver position.
I've long been a fan of building my dynasty rosters around young wide receiver talent, and we've been on a great run over the past 5 years of a massive influx of talent at the WR position on a yearly basis. The question is: can 2023 do the same thing yet again?
I talk through some updates on the bigger name players like Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Jordan Addison, but also dive in to how the second round of rookie drafts in 2023 could be the sweet spot to snag some awesome value on talented wide receivers like Josh Downs and Zay Flowers.

News broke on Thursday that the second year wide receiver on the Jets had requested a trade due to frustration surrounding his usage in the teams offense. I gave my thoughts on the situation all around to kick things off on this week's episode of The Dynasty Drive.
From there we wrap things up by discussing three different situations regarding players with varying degrees of contract uncertainty: The Dallas Cowboys Backfield, New York Giants RB Saquon Barkley, and Patriots wide receiver Jakobi Meyers.
We'll be back next week talking a handful of players set to be a part of the 2023 NFL Draft Class at the wide receiver position.
