Sorting Through the WR2s in Dynasty

Many of you have probably heard the assessment that the WR2s in Dynasty (WR13-24 overall) are one long, flat tier. If you’re on the clock in your Dynasty Superflex startup in the fourth and fifth rounds and are targeting a wide receiver, deciding between this list of players can feel overwhelming. Generally, the best strategy is to trade back in this situation, get whatever “plus” on top, and draft towards the end of this tier. Most of the WR2s have similar enough fantasy projections that I’d prefer to let someone else take “their guy” while they provide me with an extra rookie pick or startup pick, and I’ll take whoever is left.

@DynastySavant’s 2023 Dynasty Buy-Low WR Candidates

The beauty of Dynasty Football is that the action never ends. Owners are constantly looking to make moves in the offseason, listening to podcasts to gain an edge, ranking and re-ranking their player list, you name it. Being a Dynasty degenerate, I like to pass the time by scrubbing through endless “Power Rankings” lists. While doing so this offseason, I’ve noticed three names that I believe are significantly undervalued. Here are my “buy-low” wide receiver candidates for the 2023 Dynasty season. I recommend putting out some feelers to see what you can get for these players!

Comparing ADP, Dynasty to Redraft: AFC North

A much-overlooked aspect of dynasty is value comparison, or comparing the values of dynasty players to redraft players and seeing which is worth more or less. You might be thinking “well, duh! Of course, older players are worth less in dynasty than redraft!” to which I agree. But what about Daniel Jones (QB – NYJ), who is only 25 years old? Should he be worth more in redraft or dynasty? Or how about Amon-Ra St. Brown (WR – DEN), who in redraft has an ADP of WR10, but in dynasty he’s valued as WR6. Which side more appropriately values players? In this series, which will take place over nine parts (one part for each division and a rookie roundup after the draft), I’ll be evaluating every skill position player on every team and giving my thoughts on their value, whether they are overvalued compared to redraft, or undervalued. Usually, the appropriate value will be somewhere in the middle.

Kenny Pickett

The Kenny Pickett Era Begins in Pittsburgh

Pickett showed true confidence throwing the ball downfield, something we hadn’t seen out of Mitchell Trubisky. Pickett’s willingness to let it fly is a great sign of his fantasy value. The Steelers have a great group of offensive weapons, headlined by second-year RB Najee Harris. Inserting Pickett into the lineup will only open up more opportunities for Harris. This move increases the stock for every pass-catcher in the offense as well. Diontae Johnson, Chase Claypool, and Pat Freiermuth should at least be getting more big-play chances. The biggest winner, however, is rookie WR George Pickens. The 6’3” field-stretching receiver saw the ball come his way much more frequently in the short time he had playing with Pickett under center. We saw what Pickett was able to do at Pitt last season, supporting a Biletnikoff award-winning WR in Jordan Addison.  “Pickett to Pickens” is going to be a call we could be hearing for years to come.
