Dynasty Auction Look Around - Wk 5

Hello DA fantasy fans,

We’re at the quarter pole in the 2024 Dynasty Auction Fantasy season, and as usual it has been one of many surprises.

Come back often as I will be blogging each week where I will point out DA fantasy nuggets to help you manage your dynasty auction rosters this year and get the slight edges you need to win.

·        Is it coaching malfeasance for MIA to not have had an adequate replacement for Tua, who coming into the season already had a history of concussions. Tyreek is already visibly upset on the sidelines and the other fantasy mainstays in this O Jaylen Waddle and De’Von Achane are suffering as a result.

·        In the NFC, I am noticing that the entire NFC East has no defense. The division is giving up an average of 24 PPG !!

o  WAS and the emergence of Jayden Daniels lead the division at 3-1 but give up 25.5 PPG. From a Dynasty perspective a young, strong-armed QB whose defensive gives up a lot of points and thus requires a lot of offense to win. That is the scenario we dream of in fantasy – sign me up for Daniels, McLauren (and some of us have long loved Terry) and Brian Robinson.

o  DAL, PHI and even the NYG have studs that need to get fed the ball because of defensive woes.

§ Of course, Dak and CeeDee, but do not miss out on TE Ferguson and Brandon Aubrey. Yes, a Kicker at 5-5 from 49 and under and 6-7 from 50+, there is a lot of points out there. I have won half my games in one league I am in because of Aubrey outscoring my opponent flex or TE option. When you are giving up 26 PPG you need all the points you can get.

§ PHI is on a bye, and you know their DA players. Many of you have had AJ Brown on your bench for a while as your WR1. I feel ya. But while AJ is recovering, Dallas Goedert seems to be Jalen’s binky – especially nowt that  Devonte Smith is out. With a full squad healthy he will not be dominant but as noted above, PHI is going to need to score a lot this year to win, and Dallas is my pick on this high-flying O for the sneaky dynasty auction player than can make a difference down the stretch.

§ Hey, have you guys heard about Malik Nabors? Of course you have. If you are reading this, you hopefully grabbed Nabors as a WR2 with upside. The volume he sees from Daniel Jones is unreal. Nabors has 51 targets through 4 games. That is 9 more than Nico Colins in HOU and 13 more than the sun god (Amon-Ra St. Brown). Amon-Ra’s value has always been volume in this high-flying offense so to be crushing him at volume is notable. But he is unavailable in your league. Wan’Dale Robinson, however, is someone you should be looking at. This is his third year in the league and so he is primed for the WR third year leap, but also with Nabors taking up the defense’s attention, he is worthy of a long-term contract. He has one TD this year through four games. He has had one TD per year so far. Get him before he goes off. It’s coming, perhaps not this week as SEA DB’s are solid, but why it for him to go off before you grab him.

DA Look Ahead:

I am trying to grab as many pieces of the ARI offense as I can. Sure, Harrison Jr is unavailable, unless you won him at auction this year, as I did repeatedly. But TE McBride (3 games played) and WR’s Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch each have 20 targets thus far this season. Their fantasy playoff schedule is awesome. They face NE (wk. 15), CAR and LAR, respectively. The LAR give up a lot of points to WR’s and make a great WR3 / flex start when the games really matter.

Thanks for reading and while here, take our survey.

Warm Regards,

Da Commish
