Dynasty Startup Values Are Changing
Jaxon Smith-Njigba comes off the board third overall as Andrew builds around one of dynasty’s premier young receivers. Meanwhile, Garret lands Malik Nabers and Kenneth Walker III, prioritizing young players with high-end production potential.
Quarterback values create some of the biggest decisions. Lamar Jackson falls into the third round amid concerns about injuries and aging, while Jared Goff presents a more affordable option for managers willing to wait at quarterback.
Win Now or Build for the Future?
The middle rounds reveal two different strategies.
Andrew leans into a championship window with James Cook, Chase Brown, A.J. Brown, Jaylen Waddle, and veteran production from Mike Evans and Travis Kelce.
Garret takes a more flexible approach, betting on ascending assets like Matthew Golden, Jonah Coleman, and Denzel Boston, while still adding productive veterans.
Which approach creates the stronger dynasty roster, and where should managers be targeting value in their next startup?
