Ubering some food. Breaking news. Truman hearts this particular post. Yeah, exactly.

All right, today, part two of Dynasty Week. We have some buyer sell. We're going to do, Dynasty Edition, of course, some news to talk about. And we'll be bringing up a trade for and tradeaway candidate for Dynasty leagues. And then getting back into the Dynasty mail bag answering some questions. Mike, we have a giveaway. You're darn right. We have a giveaway. We have a giveaway. We have a giveaways. Ooh, better. I mean, technically. Yes. Technically, I think that was accurate.

And boom, bam, you might be awesome, excellent. I would, I wanted to jump in and be, you know, just say that all my trades in Dynasty leagues qualify. Do they? Not at all. Yeah. And that's really, I mean, that's a lot of what this week is about. It is you have to shoot your shot.

in dynasty leagues more than, you know, in a redraft league. You make a mistake in redraft. It's a one-year mistake. You make it in dynasty. You're living with that. Yes. And then if you make it and one of your friends isn't a good manager, they will troll you for it forever. So it's fun, man. Be careful. It is. It's higher stakes when you're making the dynasty trades. All right. Let's do some buy sell. Buy or sell presented by pristine auction.

Before we get into this incredible dynasty edition of Byersel, Andy, I wasn't actually sure what week it was. What week it was? Yeah, what week is it on the fantasy footballers? Dynasty Week. Yeah, but there wasn't there like... Welcome to Dynasty Week. You got to get the fan service. I was a little slow on the uptake because I thought we were going back to a Justin Timberlake May joke. Oh, I thought you were bringing back. It's going to be May. It's already May.

I thought you were going to say something there, Jason. I was going to jump in. I was going to thank Mike for making sure we got that sweet drop, and now we know where we are. Yes. That's important. Buy yourself, Dynasty Edition, Saquan Barclay. Buy yourself. Saquine Barclay should be the second running back drafted in Dynasty startups with Christian McCaffrey as the number one. I mean, there's a couple of players you could make an argument for. I think.

predominantly your between, when you're looking at that second spot right now, looking at most consensus list, looking at how the three of us have our running back dynasty startup order selected. I think you're talking about would you rather have Sequin Barclay or Dalvin Cook? That's really the conversation, right? For Dynasty, who do you want? Do you want the guy who did it bigger, biggest best in Saquan, but it's been a while he's been injured?

Do you want the more recent, clearly on the same team, same kind of structure, and you can have more confidence? He's on his second contract. Right, Dalvin Cook. Yeah. I know my answer. Yeah. So I'm curious, you know, I'm curious your guys' takes. I'm selling. I'm selling sake one is the number two. I do have Delvin Cook there. You can see my startup rankings in the ultimate draft kit. And it's, it's Dalvin Cook.

and part of this is the philosophical thought of where you're not just doing age math. You're looking at the probability of a top five season for as long as I can get it. And I think I have a higher probability from Dalvin Cook in the next couple of years to get it than I do Sequin Barclay. And therefore I'm going to go with Dalvin Cook because I want to win my league, not just finish third or fourth with an okay season. I tend to agree with you that the probability of two more top five seasons

If you had to put your bet right now, who's more likely to finish top five the next two years? I would. I would put it on Dalvin Cook. But he's going to be 26 years old very soon. That's when things can start to get rocky, generally speaking, if you follow the age trend. Dalvin Cook can certainly be an outlier and prove people wrong and be a good running back for a few more years.

But because of the age gap being what it is, I leaned slightly towards Sequin. Yeah. And so you guys are speaking both sides of it, right? The age gap is there, but it's not that significant. You know, it's like a year and a half between these guys. And...

Dalvin seems like the more guaranteed, right? Because the last time we saw Sequin, he was it. He was all the team had. And they used him that way. Now you've got Kenny Galladay. Cadarious Tony. You know, they... He's great. They've got more... They've got more... Oh, man. Is that a Tony the Tiger? Yeah. Okay. Let's hope he's not good. We can't be good.

No. Because he's going to be great. He was drafted. To be great. The way that I look at it, though, is this. Both players have had catastrophic knee injuries, right? So I don't see. They've both had a torn ACL. I don't see either one as a higher injury risk than the other. And I think both are awesome, incredible backs. So for me, the tiebreaker is the age. I have Seguan ahead.

because I feel like if they both go to the same age, I'm going to get one full extra season out of Sequin. And I don't think the gap in. But how many predictable offense years will you get out of Cook versus Sequin? Because you could change quarterbacks in New York. You could change in Minnesota. They could. Yeah, Minnesota was. But right now, I mean, I think Minnesota is going to have a fantastic year. I agree. That's part of it. Like I think they're going to be a great football team this year. I think they could go to the NFC title game.

Like that's the level of confidence I have in that offense. So that splits a difference for me. Yeah. And I think we are splitting hairs. You could have both. I select both. Sure. I'm going to take both at the, oh, dude, if you could take both with the number two pick, that's the way to go. The last three years, Barkley was the number one dynasty startup running back pick in 2019 and 2020 with McCaffrey at two. Last year it flipped. Or this year, I'm sorry, it flipped. Is there any thought, Jason, of going.

I mean, if you're looking at age, which we do, you know, we lay it out there. Age is not everything for Dynasty. But Johnny Taylor is a 22-year-old running back. He has. Is there any chance you would take him at two over those guys? There's, there's no chance I would take him because while that could be the right pick, like it could end up being that way, we just haven't seen him without Checkdown Rivers.

And the pumping up of his reception total in his rookie year, I want to see what happens with this new quarterback outlook. And obviously, if he's just as involved in the past game as he was with Philip Rivers, then Jonathan Taylor very well should be the pick. I don't project or anticipate that to stay the same. Ignoring his reception totals, over the last six games of the NFL season, Jonathan Taylor's 17-game pace was 338 carries for 2,100 yards and 20 touchdowns.

Oh, man. Well, that's a Derek Henry and stat line. That's incredible. All right. That is by herself from Pristine Auction. Use the code ballers over at pristineauction.com. You'll get a $10 credit towards your first sports memorabilia purchase. News and notes from around the league. Presented by Sleeper. All right. Speaking of the Colts, they signed Eric Fisher, left tackle to a one-year deal. That is good news for...

That offensive line. Yeah, it's hopefully good news as Eric Fisher is coming off of a torn Achilles and he could be ready in August, but the range of when he would be ready is like August to the middle of the season. Yeah, I mean, it's still, it's still great news because they had a clear problem.

Anthony Costanzo retired on, you know, this last offseason. And they really did not have a player there. So you're right, it might, he might not be ready to start the season, but at some point he's back. It's a clear massive upgrade, which the aforementioned Jonathan Taylor, you know, who maybe should be more in consideration at that number two spot because of the offensive line. And Eric Fisher helps. All right, Packers.

According to Ian Rappaport have made a significant long-term extension offered to Aaron Rogers. Two sides have been negotiating. A lot of the controversy around the Rogers situation, rumors abounded that it had to do with a contract dispute. We have no idea. No one really knows what Aaron wants. He knows. He probably knows. He wants to host Jeopardy. That's all we know. Maybe he doesn't even know what he wants.

But he feels disrespected. He feel, maybe he feels. Want you to want me. Maybe he feels disrespected by the contract that he has while he's seeing guys like Patrick Mahomes, buying baseball teams and things like that with his contract. And Rogers is like, well, what the heck, man? So we will, if it's true that they really have offered this long-term extension and he balks at this,
