CouchScouts Podcast | Dynasty Fantasy Football & Rookie Scouting

After officially taking the reins in Tuscaloosa in 2025—throwing for 3,567 yards, 28 touchdowns, and leading Bama to the playoffs—Simpson has skyrocketed up real-life and fantasy draft boards. With insiders like Adam Schefter locking him into the first round and analysts like Dan Orlovsky crowning him as the true QB1 of the 2026 class over Fernando Mendoza, we have to ask: what does this meteoric rise mean for your dynasty fantasy football rosters?
🏈 In This Episode, We Break Down:
The Film Room: We analyze how Simpson’s ADOT, Big Time Throw Rate, and Adjusted Completion Percentage translate to the field.

The Red Flags: We discuss the risks of drafting a one-year starter, including his slender frame, inconsistent deep ball velocity, and ball security issues when taking sacks.

The Fantasy Translation: Where exactly should you target Simpson in your upcoming 2026 rookie draft? We discuss his dual-threat upside and whether he's worth a premium Superflex pick.

Whether you are holding a top-three pick or looking for a high-upside developmental stash, this profile gives you everything you need to know about Ty Simpson before he hears his name called this April.

Fernando Mendoza captured the Heisman Trophy with an unforgettable season, but will that college dominance translate to the pros? In this episode, we dive deep into the tape and the data to determine if the standout QB is a foundational piece for your roster or a player to avoid in your upcoming dynasty rookie draft.
We bridge the gap between the film room and advanced analytics, breaking down Mendoza’s arm talent, processing speed, under-pressure metrics, and rushing upside. Whether you hold an early first-round pick or you're weighing a trade down, making the right evaluation on Mendoza is critical for long-term success in your dynasty fantasy football league. Plus, we discuss how his potential  NFL Draft landing spot will affect his fantasy ceiling.
In this episode, we cover:
The Film Room: A breakdown of Mendoza's mechanics, pocket presence, and ability to read complex defenses.

The Analytics: What the advanced metrics (aDOT, pressure-to-sack rate, and big-time throws) reveal about his true ceiling.

Dynasty Verdict: Is Fernando Mendoza a generational steal or a high-risk trap? Where we are confidently drafting him in Superflex and 1QB leagues.

Athletic Profile: How do his physical traits actually stack up against top-tier NFL talent?

We cut through the noise to answer the ultimate question: Is Jadarian Price a must-add asset, or is he currently an overvalued asset in your rookie drafts? Tune in to find out exactly where you should rank him on your draft boards and whether his profile translates to long-term fantasy production.
