EPISODE 108 / TOP 10 ROOKIE RBs FROM THE 2023 DRAFT CLASS

A belated Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays & Happy New Year to anyone listening to The Dynasty Drive!
After a bit of a holiday break I am back and ready to dive into the 2023 rookie class in a big way.
On today's show I talk through how my top 10 rookie running backs from the 2023 draft class stack up ahead of the full offseason circuit we are rapidly approaching.
Next week - I'll be breaking down my top 10 rookie WRs 🔥🔥🔥

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.

EPISODE 105 / ELIJAH MOORE REQUESTS A TRADE & CONTRACT SITUATIONS TO MONITOR FOR DYNASTY

The New York Jets are 4-2...and Elijah Moore has requested a trade?!
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.

EPISODE 104 / IS 2023 THE YEAR OF THE UNDERSIZED RUNNING BACK?

We're back with another episode of The Dynasty Drive, and on today's show were talking running backs from the 2023 NFL Draft class....specifically the ones who are somewhat undersized!
We kick things off by discussing Michigan's Blake Corum and his hot start to the 2022 season. From there we touch on Kansas State's Deuce Vaughn who has some prolific production to show off, and Texas A&M's Devon Achane who has the lethal long speed NFL teams are sure to covet.

EPISODE 103 / CHECKING IN ON NCAA’S TOP PROSPECTS & POST WEEK 2 NFL TAKEAWAYS

After some scheduling craziness, we are back with a new episode of The Dynasty Drive!
On today's episode of the show we kick things off by checking in on how some of college football's most exciting players have started off their 2022 seasons, and what fantasy implications that may have.
From there we wrap things up by discussing some of the notable stories in the NFL through two weeks of the season, including the hot start for a handful of the highly touted rookie wide receivers!

EPISODE 102 / END OF SUMMER 2022 DYNASTY RANKINGS UPDATE

Welcome back to The Dynasty Drive! Apologies for the lack of an episode the last few weeks, busy time of year!

EPISODE 101 / CHECKING IN ON THE 2021 WR DRAFT CLASS

On today's episode of The Dynasty Drive we gave a progress report of sorts for the wide receivers selected in the 2021 NFL Draft.
The first round was undeniably fruitful, but what have we learned about players selected outside of the first round? Is there still reason for cautious optimism for players like Rondale Moore and Terrace Marshall Jr. who were highly touted prospects that didn't quite live up to the hype in their rookie seasons? We got into every WR selected on all three days of the NFL Draft and gave thoughts on who is and isn't relevant moving forward!

EPISODE 100 / THE DOCE SCORE and RUNNING BACK VALUES w/ CHASE VERNON (Trophy Smack, Fantasy Intervention)

We're ringing in 100 Episodes of The Dynasty Drive! I appreciate the continued support of the podcast, and for all of the fantastic support from listeners over the years, I'm going to host a giveaway on Twitter.
Send a screenshot of a submitted rating/review for the podcast to me on Twitter - @DynastyDrive - within one week from the airing of this podcast (by 8/8/2022). All entries will be randomized, and one winner will receive an NFL Jersey from the player/team of their choosing. Just a little something to give back to those who have supported the show.
On today's episode I'm joined by CHASE VERNON (@ff_intervention) to talk about a metric he's been tracking - the DOCE score. The DOCE score (Dump Off Containment Efficiency score) measures pass catching running backs against defenses who struggle against those players.
We close things out by Chase throwing us a few players outside the top-24 at RB that he's identified some value in.

EPISODE 99 / IDP THOUGHTS, TIPS, and TRICKS with ALEX THE FANTASY FOOTBALL HUSTLER (@FFHustler420)

On today's episode we're talking IDP - or Individual Defensive Players for those who may be unaware!
