  • 6 Dynasty Moves to Make | Fantasy Football Podcast 9-2-25
    Sep 3 2025

    Before the NFL season starts, we’ve got 6 dynasty trades you need to consider. James Cook got a big new contract, but that didn’t take away his issues. Jaylen Waddle and Chris Godwin both look dramatically undervalued by the market. And is it already time to quit on Jacory Croskey-Merritt? (The guys don’t totally agree on that one.) It’s definitely time, though, to check the Dynasty Trade Value Charts and build some trade offers.

    Don't you hate it when you rush to the waiver wire to pick up that IDP who just had a breakout week ... only to find he's already on someone else's roster? Well we're gonna put you on the other side of that frustration. Matt's highlighting 6 IDP sleepers on this episode to get you ahead of your league mates. The list includes a high-ceiling rookie LB, three other LBs with weekly-starter upside, a stupidly underrated DB, and a defensive lineman we haven't highlighted anywhere (before now).
