DYNASTY BOIS
SZN ONE
BY MICAH LISTER
FOOTBALL IS BACK!
IT'S TIME TO
CELEBRATE
THIS IS THE 2019 SEASON PREVIEW
THE DRAFT
Mistakes were made
Mistakes are a part of Fantasy. We had
a slow draft out of nowhere and as you
might guess, we goofed. The goofing
happened in varying degrees. Some
took QB's too early, some took old
tight-ends 5 rounds ahead of their ADP,
but what matters, is that now we have
our teams. So without further ado, here
are your 2019 Dynasty Bois team
previews.
MICAH LISTER:
YPA UNIT 01
OWvitehrtvhieewfourth overall pick Lister selected Davante
Adams. He has made wide receiver an emphasis on
his team by also adding Odell Beckham. Micah has
been no stranger to trades, he no longer owns either
of the first two running backs he drafted. Instead
they have been replaced with two of his personal
favorites, James Conner and Kerryon Johnson. Those
trades may be what determines the ouctome of his
season.
Swing player: Kerryon Johnson
Johnson's role remains to be seen, but the talent is
clearly visible. Johnson was one of the most
efficient backs in football last year in his limited
work. He should consistently be able to put up
RB2/3 numbers, but his real value could come if
Matt Patricia fully hands over the backfield to the
former Auburn Tiger.
TAYLOR SMITH:
HUNTER RENFROW
HE LIED
Overview
Who needs running backs? This is PPR baby!! All
kidding aside, Smith's collection of wide outs is
one of the more terrifying groups that have
been put together in recent memory. Of course
this is not without sacrifice, the trades to
acquire these receivers were costly to his
running back core.
SSmwiitnhg'sprleacyeeivre:rKsewnilyl apnroDvirdaekeevery week stability to
his team, but what could really propel his team
towards greatness is this former favorite of Nick
Saban's. Drake has been hindered by poor coaching
and backfield competition for most of his career, but
if the rumors of "tons of touches" or even a trade
are true then lookout for this play maker to push
Smith's team towards the chip.
JOSH EPPS:
SWITCHBLADE STEE
Overview
In Kliff we trust. Or at least that's who Josh
trusts. Epps has invested heavily in
Kingbury’s offense ans we will see if it pays
off. Luckily the risk for Epps team is less
than most as his roster is anchored by
upper tier studs like McCaffrey and Hill.
Swing player: Christian Kirk
Kirk had a very productive stretch towards the
end of his rookie campaign. Many believe if that
was possible in the Cards abysmal offense last
year than the sky’s the limit for the second year
wide out making his debut in the air raid system.
JAKE INGLE:
FROSTBITTEN
FOOTBALLERS
Overview
Jake's team has had more ups and downs since the draft
than most experience in an entire season. From
frostbitten feet to holdouts for weeks it has been hard to
be a fantasy player owned by Jake Ingle. Not all hope is
lost however, Jake's star running back Ezekiel Elliot has
agreed to a long term deal with the Cowboy's insuring
Ingle's team will feature an elite running back for years to
come. How the rest of the roster will fill in around Ellitot
remains to be seen.
Swing player: Joe Mixon
Mixon is one of the more talented backs in the entire
league. He combines power running with shiftiness that
mirrors a certain former Steeler. The question with
Mixon has never been talent however, it has been of
situation and health. If Mixon is able to put together the
top 5 season so many people think he can, it would work
wonders for a team that is currently drowning in
unknowns. Also Joe Mixon hit a woman.
BRYCE MILTON:
MAHOMEWARD
BOUND
Overview
If you polled the general NFL public and asked them who
were the most promising young players at their
respective potions you would get two consensus
answers for Quarterback and Running back: Patrick
Mahomes and Saquon Barkley. Bryce's team has
questions marks like any team, but he knows that for
years and years he will have two of the brightest young
stars in football on his team.
Swing player: Damien Williams
At least for this year, it is hard to find a player with a
wider margin of possible outcomes than Damien
Williams. He could finish as a top 5 back in that
explosive Chiefs offense, or he could have his touches
reduced in a time share and be an inconsistent RB2/3.
Depending on which way that pendulum swings will have
a huge impact on Milton's championship aspirations.
TYLER MILLS:
HOT CHUBB TIME
MACHINE
Overview
Mills has made several transactions since the draft that
have helped his roster become one the more balanced in
the league. His mix of quantity with quality might prove
to make his team one of the most formidable in the
league late in the year when injuries and bye weeks are
plaguing more shallow teams.
Swing player: Nick Chubb
The Duke Johnson trade impacted many fantasy players
value but maybe none more than Mills's second round
pick, Nick Chubb. Chubb showed elite upside in flashes
during his rookie year, but with a year of service under
his belt and a full time lead role waiting for him, Chubb
could end the season as one of the most sought after
cornerstones in all of fantasy football, if he isn't
already.
HUNTER HYSMITH:
TEAM 8
Overview
While Hysmith hasn't been a big fan of the new format of
the league or trading for players, his team reamains one
the heavier hitters. With upper tier talent like Michael
Thomas and Travis Kelce the ceiling for this team is as
high as any.
Swing player: Sony Michel
Michel was a monster in the Patriot's Super Bowl run
last year. It felt like every other quarter Michel was
rushing in for another TD. That's the upside, a
touchdown machine on an elite offense. The downside
for the star back comes in the form of a degenerative
knee condition. If Michel is healthy all year he's going to
be a league winner, but if those knees fall apart sooner
than people expect he could sink a team just a quickly.
CAMERON LISTER:
BRYCE IS A SCRUB
Overview
The name says it all, doesn't it? Cam isn't here to make
friends, Cam isn't here to listen to over analytical
podcasts, Cam is here to beat his friend's teams and tell
them they are trash. This proposition might be very
feasible for Cameron this year when looking at his trio of
veteran studs, Gurley, Bell, and Allen. If those three stay
healthy and recieve a heavy workload watchout.
Swing player: Stefon Diggs
Diggs has every tool you would want in a star wide out.
Top end speed, elite route running, and the gumption to
make big plays when it matters most. A healthy Stefon
Diggs is one of the scariest things an opponent can see,
the questions is, how often will they see it? Diggs has
been plagued with injuries throughout his career, but if
2019 is the season where those hamstrings hold strong
the league could be in a lot of trouble.
CLOSING
I love Fantasy
I am so excited for this season with you guys. I am so
excited we get to keep these players as long as we want and
I am so excited to have such an awesome group to partake in
this silly game with. Love each and every one of you and I
can't wait to destroy you in our match-ups this year.
-Micah
PS: I had this as a last second idea so please
excuse all the typos I really wanted to get it done
before the Thursday night game.
