Dynasty Week Kickoff! Dynasty Tips, Debates, and Old Guys Who Can Actually Help - Fantasy Football Podcast for 5/11

But how many do you generally want to roster? I have seen, I mean, turn over it. Backup quarterbacks. That comes quick. Yeah. I mean, I want to roster at least three quarterbacks starting quarterbacks. And everybody does. And you can't do that. There's not 36 starting quarterbacks in the league.

I usually am willing to pull the trigger a little bit earlier in the, you know, probably the third round if I'm in one of those leagues that is late round quarterback and a Kyler type of Josh. One of these super young looks like you're going to get a decade out of them. I'm willing to do that. Otherwise, if I miss out on those guys.

I'm usually just drafting for value. I'm taking the same tiers that we usually look at with our normal redraft leagues, and I'm going with guys that I think are going to be good. And I add, at the end of my dynasty startups, the old veterans. I mean, you know, over the last five years when I've done startup drafts, I'm looking for Tom Brady's and Drew Brees and Ben Rothlessburgers. I'd say Philip Rivers and Rothersberg were...

Forever. You could just get them so late. Oh, nobody wants them. In a startup draft. And they, I mean, now, yes, we are at the end of the road now. But the point is five years ago, you could get them super late. And there's going to be other quarterbacks just like that. All right. This one I'm very interested in your guys' thoughts. Oh, man. Twitter question from Robert Canfield says, how many elite years of DeAndre Hopkins should I expect? Ooh. I just looked up the age. He'll be 29 when the season starts.

We're just talked about Adam Thielen. Three. You think three more? I think he's going to be great at 29. I think he's going to be great at 30. I think he's going to be great at 31. That's a lot. That is enough. We've talked about in the past. We look at three-year windows. Julio's 32 right now, so he'll be younger than Julio at that stage. Like today, Julio. Right. So I think this is why, you know, Hopkins is, I don't have my startup rankings in front of me, but I know he's like,

He's very high for you. My fifth wide receiver. I'm fine. He's your number five. Oh, there you go. I am 100% fine, even though he's a little bit older, to say, I've got a three-year window of absolute greatness. Let's win some championships. All right. And Jason mentioned it earlier. If you were looking for a good dynasty league, we built footclanleagues.com. It's a forum where you can find local and online dynasty leagues, redraft leagues, all types, with good people.

One of the things that we've brought up since day one, I mean, your league's only as good as the people you play with. If you are in a league with like two people that are into it and hardcore and then four that ignore it, I mean, it's just not engaging. It's not fun. One or two bad managers can really ruin the kind of whole league. Yeah. And don't be, don't be worried about, oh, I don't have 12 people. So do 10, do 8. Just modify the size of your starting roster.

That's perfectly fine. I would so, so, so much rather play in a league with 10 people who are all having fun and dedicated and enjoying it than a 12, you know, a 12 owner league where you've got two teams that just aren't really involved. You can't get a hold of them. They miss transactions sometimes. Make the hard decision. And here's the thing. Real life matters more than fantasy.

So if you have somebody in your league that can't commit to the league, that's fine. Just make those tough decisions during the off season to replace those friendships. Replace your friendships. That's fine. It's good for them. You just got to cut them out of your life. I totally, I hear what you're saying, Andy. Yeah, you know, you made it really clear. Way to put a bow on that.

All right, we want to thank Pristine Auction for supporting today's show. Brandon Ayukes signed NFL football. It's up there for 20 bucks right now. It ends on Thursday. Cam Acres signed football 20 bucks right now. And remember, if we haven't said it in a while, everything on there is authentic sports autographs. You're talking about JSA certified, Beckett witnessed. These are all great products. Josh Beckett? Yeah, he witnesses all of them.

Is that a reference to the old pitcher? That was. Josh Beckett Marlins Red Sox pitcher reference? That's what you got. Instead of just like Beckett is a well-known sports card authenticator. Yeah. But does Josh own it? Yeah, because Josh Beckett. He's really big into the signature crowd. Does he authenticate his own?

Ooh, no, I think he's got to get someone else. He has to go PSA. He's got to go PSA. You got a third party. You can't notarize your own stuff, right? No, I don't believe so. If you're a notary, you can notarize your own stuff, can't. You can't? No, I'm just. Oh, I was like, that would be ridiculous. I'm going to become a notary. Yeah, I'm going to take the classes right now. It's good. Trust me. I'm a notary.
