Adonai Mitchell vs. Xavier Worthy: Who is the Better Fantasy Asset?

Devy / By /

The Texas Longhorns have had an elite offense all season long, as confirmed by their 12-1 record, playoff bid, and 36.2 points per game. Much of this success can be attributed to their two junior wide receivers, Xavier Worthy and Adonai Mitchell. Both players have lofty expectations waiting for them at the NFL level, but which player will end up becoming the better fantasy asset? Let’s discuss some numbers and help answer that question for you.

Man, has Derek Carr been beaten up this year or what? Carr exited the Saints’ Week 13 matchup early with several injury concerns, including his shoulder, back, and head. Carr is now in concussion protocol for the second time in three games, so he will likely be sitting out the game against Carolina next week. Enter Jameis Winston, who has been quite underwhelming in his few relief appearances this year, but still, he’s a live arm with a decent fantasy ceiling.

Greg Dortch

The Wire: Week 13

Dynasty / By /

Dortch was a player I had high hopes for heading into the 2023 season after several impressive showings in 2022. His opportunities were limited last season, but in the games he saw more than a 75% snap share, Dortch averaged ten targets per game in this Arizona offense. He was an integral part of this passing attack, and not all of this was when Kyler was healthy; Dortch was producing late in the season with Colt McCoy, Trace McSorley, and David Blough as his quarterbacks. With only Marquise Brown clearly ahead of him on the depth chart, I thought Dortch has a real shot to earn himself an every-down role in this offense. However, that was far from the case when the 2023 season started.

The Wire: Week 12

All Access, Dynasty / By /

This is the second consecutive week Wicks has made our list, but it needs to be reiterated as the rookie continues to produce while flying under the radar. As we mentioned last week, the usage has not been there (less than 50% snaps played since Christian Watson returned), but the efficiency has certainly been there. Dontayvion has made his presence known every time he steps onto the field, making one explosive play after another.

Xavier Gipson is a rookie UDFA out of Stephen F Austin, where he had an incredibly successful college career. Gipson finished his career for the Lumberjacks with 243 receptions, 4,305 yards, and 37 touchdowns over four seasons. He exceeded 1k receiving yards in his junior and senior seasons, but playing for an FCS program prevented the star wide receiver from fielding much interest from NFL scouts. However, Xavier proved the doubters wrong and made the 53-man roster for the New York Jets this year. He’s also seen his usage skyrocket in these past two weeks.

Noah Brown appeared to be a fringe NFL wide receiver at best through the first five years of his career. It wasn’t until last season in Dallas that he showed any real signs of life. After the departure of veteran star Amari Cooper, the WR2 spot was wide open for the taking, and Brown surprised many by filling that hole. He finished the 2022 season with a respectable 43 receptions, 555 yards, and three touchdowns, all career highs.

Welcome back to another weekly edition of “The Wire”. In this series, I review three players each week that you should target on the waiver wire for your Dynasty teams. To keep the information in this series consistent, I will only refer to players with an ownership percentage of less than 50%, according to Sleeper Dynasty leagues. I’ll do my best to provide you with players that have a more long-term upside rather than a one-week ceiling, seeing that this is a Dynasty series and not Redraft. So, sit back, relax, and let me find you some diamonds in the rough!

Hello DFF members, I am Chris, and I am doing a rookie round-up series for the 2023 season. My primary space in fantasy centers around analytics, rookie models, and early career models, so this is something I should be able to make beneficial content out of. This will be released every two weeks, and I will keep you updated on how these rookies have been performing and how their values should change. Let’s dive right into the recap of the season’s first month for the prominent rookies.

The Dynasty Wire: Week 16

Dynasty / By /

This week and every week going forward we’ll bring you several recommendations for players you should add to your dynasty rosters. We’ll mainly be targeting lower-owned guys who should be available in all but the deepest leagues. 

James Robinson is the clear workhorse back in Jacksonville but a recent high ankle sprain opened the door for Dare Ogunbowale to show what he can do. The former Buccaneer carried the ball 14 times for 74 yards, proving he can still produce as a runner in the NFL. Ogunbowale isn’t about to take the lead role from James Robinson but he is worth rostering in dynasty leagues.

Someone will need to explain to me why Chad Hansen is still on the waiver wire in any dynasty leagues. Not because he’s going to break out and become an every-week starter going forward but because there hasn’t been a single game he’s played in which he didn’t score 10+ fantasy points. The Houston receiving corps is decimated by injuries and Hansen is feasting on the opportunities. You should own him to sell him to the highest bidder if nothing else.

Week 14 marks the return of Gardner Minshew which is apparently great news for Keelan Cole. Cole caught seven of 12 targets for 67 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the Titans. He’s received at least five targets in four of the last five games and 2.9 fantasy points per touch, good for first on the team among receivers with at least 20 targets.

This week and every week going forward we’ll bring you several recommendations for players you should add to your dynasty rosters. We’ll mainly be targeting lower-owned guys who should be available in all but the deepest leagues. Ito Smith could be the unlikely hero for someone’s championship roster. If Todd Gurley misses an extended period of time, Smith would instantly vault into weekly fantasy relevancy. Gurley was a last-minute inactive due to a knee injury. We know he suffers from arthritis of the knee so maybe Atlanta is resting him in a lost season. We can’t be sure, but we do know Smith is part of the one, two punch in Gurley’s absence and he receives high volume in the passing attack. Smith scored a rushing and receiving touchdown in Week 12 and could be poised for some heavy lifting going forward.
