Denzel Boston has been the biggest early riser. The separation, explosiveness, and big-play ability have translated better than expected, creating a legitimate argument for him as one of the first receivers selected if rookie drafts were held again today.

KC Concepcion is also trending upward, while the guys remain patient with Carnell Tate despite Tennessee's struggling offense.

On the other side, recurring injury concerns have Jordan Tyson moving down.

The show closes with another round of Adjust the Ranks. Christian Watson gets a major boost, Brock Purdy enters the elite dynasty quarterback conversation, and Chris Olave forces another look at where he belongs among fantasy's top wide receivers.

Fantasy Football Week 2: Which Performances Can We Trust?

Two weeks into the season, fantasy managers are already dealing with wildly different performances from the same players. Rich Dotson, Garret Price, and Matt O'Hara break down which version we should actually believe before turning their attention to the long-term security of every NFL quarterback room.

David Montgomery went from nearly 29 fantasy points to just 4.4, while DeVonta Smith followed a quiet opener with a massive Week 2.

The guys also debate Javonte Williams, Mike Evans, Rachaad White, and Josh Downs as they decide whether the monster performance or the disappointing one is closer to what managers should expect going forward.

The second half of the show tackles a different question: which NFL teams are actually set at quarterback for the next three years?

From completely secure franchise cornerstones to teams that could be drafting another quarterback very soon, the guys tier every situation and discuss what that stability means for dynasty value.

Dynasty Fantasy Football Buy Low Targets After Week 2

Two weeks of football is enough to move dynasty markets, but it is not always enough to change what we know about a player. Garret Price and Andrew Mott identify the early-season dips they are looking to buy before prices rebound.

Justin Herbert has opened the season slowly, but his dynasty price may finally have fallen far enough to create a buying opportunity.

Atlanta offers two more potential discounts. Kyle Pitts has produced almost nothing through two weeks, while Drake London has also disappointed. The return of Michael Penix Jr. could quickly change both conversations.

Quinshon Judkins has not delivered the rushing production managers expected, but increased receiving involvement keeps his long-term outlook intriguing.

The same patience applies to Colston Loveland, Drake Maye, Jaxson Dart, and Carnell Tate. Early production has created uncertainty, but dynasty managers willing to look beyond two games may find some of the best buying windows of the season.

Dynasty Risers and Fallers After Week 2

Week 2 delivered injuries, breakout performances, and several dynasty values already moving in opposite directions. Garret Price, Rich Dotson, and Peter Bartausky break down the players gaining momentum and the situations becoming much harder to trust.

TreVeyon Henderson returned and immediately captured the majority of New England's rushing work, giving managers hope that the backfield is finally shifting in his direction.

Bryce Young continues building an increasingly convincing sample. His recent fantasy production has Pete wondering whether Young has graduated from speculative dynasty asset to legitimate starter for contending teams.

Then there is Denzel Boston, who has scored in each of his first two games while showing the vertical separation and contested-catch ability that could quickly reshape the rookie receiver rankings.

Travis Etienne is losing confidence quickly as Alvin Kamara's return complicates an already concerning workload.

Chicago's entire offense also takes a hit following Caleb Williams' injury, while Justin Herbert headlines the fallers after the Chargers opened 0-2 and scored just 14 points in each game.

2027 Rookie Class Risers and Fallers

The 2027 rookie class already looks loaded, but the opening weeks of college football are changing the conversation. Garret Price and Andrew Mott break down the prospects climbing dynasty boards and the names starting to lose momentum.

Darian Mensah has quickly entered the QB1 conversation after a dominant start at Miami. Garret is already comfortable putting him atop the quarterback class if rookie drafts were held today.

At running back, Jadan Baugh is making an equally strong push. His size, receiving ability, contact balance, and improved explosiveness have him challenging for RB1 status.

Reed Harris may be the biggest breakout name of the group. At 6-foot-5 with legitimate movement skills, the Arizona State receiver has quickly become a prospect dynasty managers need to know.

The early season has been less encouraging for Dante Moore. After entering the year with potential top-five NFL Draft expectations, Garret and Andrew have not seen the franchise quarterback level play necessary to maintain that valuation.

The 2027 class remains deep, but the order is already changing.
