| EPISODE 106 / CAN THE 2023 WR DRAFT CLASS LIVE UP TO THE HYPE OF PREVIOUS SEASONS? | 11 Nov 2022 | 00:23:05 | |
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. | |||

| EPISODE 101 / CHECKING IN ON THE 2021 WR DRAFT CLASS | 08 Aug 2022 | 00:21:40 | |
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) | 01 Aug 2022 | 00:32:48 | |
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) | 25 Jul 2022 | 00:27:41 | |
On today's episode we're talking IDP - or Individual Defensive Players for those who may be unaware!
I'm a beginner myself when it comes to IDP, so we brought on Alex the FANTASY FOOTBALL HUSTLER to break down all things IDP and how people like myself can get acclimated with the format, what they should look out for, and what the best settings to use are.
