Inevitably, you’ll hit a lull in any Dynasty Fantasy Football Startup and our C2C league is officially sludging at Round 20. Most teams have finished building their starting lineups, planting flags on rookies or reaches, and are gearing up for the Campus component that will kick off later this year. You look around the draft table and some formidable squads are coming together. I’m not putting too much stock in this initial section of the draft, but I like my team. Here are my favorite selections so far by position.
Quarterback Room
Ok, I’ll concede that C.J. Stroud was a no-brainer at 1.03 and is the most hyped + buzzworthy Dynasty asset on the market. But you don’t win Superflex Championships without QB depth, and I needed to shore up the position. I mentioned in my previous article that I traded up to grab Jayden Daniels opting for rookie upside. I love him as a prospect, although this whole narrative around him wanting to play for the Patriots is a little unnerving, given their lack of success drafting wide receivers.
The Fantasy Football version of me feels like Washington is the spot, where he’ll have guys like Terry McLaurin, Jahan Dotson, and Zach Ertz providing enough targets to fill and a solid one-two punch in Brian Robinson and Austin Ekeler helping out in the running game. I rounded out my QBs by grabbing Derek Carr late who will likely open as my QB2 but be relegated to bye weeks and injury replacement once Daniels gets his legs. And honestly, at 11.07, I wasn’t going to do any better.
Running Backs
I won’t cover all my current RBs, but my favorite selections are De’Von Achane, Blake Corum, Braelon Allen, and Zamir White. Anyone who’s shared a league with me knows that I’ve got it bad for Achane. The dude is electric and a home run threat every time he touches the ball. I’m excited to see him in Year 2 despite Raheem Mostert’s presence. The expectations are high, and I think he’ll exceed them as essentially a top 5 RB.
Staying young, I reached for Blake Corum and Braelon Allen after being iced out of both Jonathon Brooks and Trey Benson – my top 2 RB targets going into the draft (FU, Cody!). Draft Capital and landing spots are going to be as critical as any for this year’s class, but I’m banking on Corum landing somewhere comfortable like the Chargers and hopeful my Cowboys snag Allen (if they don’t already hook Brooks or Benson). Zamir White echoes volume in that Raiders’ backfield assuming they don’t draft one in the first 3 rounds. I loved Zeus at Georgia and thought he’d have a bigger role last season, but he looked nice when Josh Jacobs couldn’t stay on the field.
Wide Receivers
I’m keeping this short because, although I love my WRs, it’s not the strength of my squad right now. I moved up to grab Ja’Marr Chase, took future WR1 Rome Odunze as my second receiver off the board, and then moved up again to pair Stefon Diggs with Stroud after the trade news broke. I’ve also rostered veteran depth in DeAndre Hopkins, Mike Williams, and Tyler Boyd along with a few deeper dives with second-year NOLA standout A.T. Perry and rookie Devontez Walker. If the latter two can get me marginal production over the next 2-3 seasons, it’ll feel like a W.
Tight Ends
Grabbing Dalton Kincaid as the Buffalo x Diggs trade news broke felt pretty solid but snagging Dallas Goedert at 13.3 felt a little dirty, almost like stealing. This deep into the draft, I was surprised to get a guy of his caliber, particularly with TEP settings. I had to brush off a little guff from my good frenemy Keep1Rolled420, surprisingly a Philly native who’s allegedly turned his back on the city. Nice work, Keep. But in all seriousness, Value Town, population Goedert. My third TE is Jaheim Bell out of FSU who’ll likely sit on the taxi squad all season, but I’ve liked him for 2+ years so I decided to place money where mouth resides.
