Dynasty Nerds Podcast | Dynasty Fantasy Football

The season is nearly here, and this one is not about dynasty value. On this episode of the Dynasty Nerds Podcast, Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price reveal their top 12 quarterbacks for 2026, the guys they think actually carry teams to a championship. 🏆

Listen to This Episode:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTube

Everyone assumes Josh Allen is the automatic QB1, and one host takes a calculated swing anyway, putting Joe Burrow at the top and explaining exactly why the Bengals defense makes it work. Jayden Daniels, Lamar Jackson, and Drake Maye fill out the top of the boards, while Patrick Mahomes gets left off a top 12 entirely. Trevor Lawrence gets a passionate defense after a scorching finish to last season.

Malik Willis cracks a top 12 on rushing volume alone, Jaxson Dart splits the room over deep ball accuracy, and Caleb Williams has one host far higher than the rest. Then Justin Herbert takes heat, with two hosts off him entirely and a make or break framing that might change how you value him. Compare the lists to your own dynasty rankings before draft day. 🔥

Flag plant season is here, and this pair is not hedging. On this episode of the Dynasty Nerds Podcast, Garret Price and Andrew Mott name the players they are riding into 2026.

Listen to This Episode:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTube

Andrew plants his flag on Jayden Daniels for a top five finish, arguing the market badly overreacted to an injury riddled year two. Garret counters with Jalen Hurts, and he takes apart every knock one by one, the age narrative, the tush push, and the loss of a certain number one receiver. Then comes the one place these two actually disagree, and it involves Cam Skattebo and the arrival of Najee Harris.

De'Von Achane gets a passionate defense despite the offense around him, Chris Olave draws an irrational buy from Andrew, and Tee Higgins might be the most gettable contending piece in dynasty right now. Emeka Egbuka is pegged for a top 15 finish, and both hosts land on the same tight end: Tyler Warren, with a target projection that will raise eyebrows. Line these up against the dynasty rankings and see who you agree with. 🔥

Camp week delivered one of the fastest panic cycles of the offseason. On this episode of the Dynasty Nerds Podcast, Garret Price and Andrew Mott run through the news that actually moves your roster, starting with a scare that came and went in about five hours. 😅

Listen to This Episode:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTube

Ashton Jeanty went from doomsday to high ankle in a matter of hours, and managers who moved fast got fleeced. The guys share two real trades that closed before the truth came out, plus why Mike Washington still matters even now. Then it is Carnell Tate, still without a catch this preseason, and Garret explains why this is a buy window rather than a red flag, even with the Cam Ward concerns piling up.

Tyrone Tracy may be in the doghouse, Marshawn Lloyd could cut into Josh Jacobs more than expected, and San Francisco might have finally found a running back two and Deshaun Stripling keeps forcing the issue. Update your board with the latest dynasty rankings.

Value season is here, and finding the guys before the market does is the whole game. On this episode of the Dynasty Nerds Podcast, Garret Price is joined by JJ Zachariason of Late Round QB to trade names they think are badly mispriced heading into the year. 📈

Listen to This Episode:Apple PodcastsSpotifyYouTube

JJ opens with Stefon Diggs, and the metrics say the washed label is flat wrong. The fit next to Terry McLaurin might be the cleanest one on the board. Garret counters with Jaylen Waddle, whose new role and volume path could push him from a guy people shrug at into legitimate wide receiver one territory. The two also dig into why chasing the X label is one of the most common mistakes fantasy managers make.

Terrance Ferguson carries a downfield profile unlike any tight end in football, Jonah Coleman draws an Alvin Kamara comparison that is hard to unhear, and Wan'Dale Robinson might quietly split targets with Carnell Tate far more evenly than anyone expects. Quinshon Judkins closes it out with a Nick Chubb comp and a path into the running back one conversation. Check your board against the dynasty rankings before these prices move. 🔥

2026 Fantasy Football Projections: Garret's Full Positional Breakdown

Projections season is here, and the numbers do not always match the narrative. Garret Price walks Rich Dotson and Matt O'Hara through his full 2026 projections, and the guys push back hard on more than a few of them. 🏈

Listen to This Episode:

🎧 Apple Podcasts🎙️ Spotify▶️ YouTube

Josh Allen projects as the only true difference maker at the position, with Joe Burrow and Lamar Jackson right behind him. The bigger takeaway is what happens next. From quarterback two down to quarterback 13, there is barely a two point per game spread. Rich argues Trevor Lawrence and Justin Herbert both deserve a bump, and makes a bold call on Patrick Mahomes missing the top 12 entirely.

Jahmyr Gibbs edges Bijan Robinson at the top, with Christian McCaffrey and De'Von Achane completing the elite tier. Rich pounds the table for David Montgomery and Jonathan Brooks as value plays. At receiver, Ja'Marr Chase and Puka Nacua sit well clear of the field. And George Kittle lands at tight end four coming off an Achilles, which surprised everyone in the room.

Compare it all to the current Dynasty Rankings.
