Midseason Dynasty Startup Mock Draft: Have Player Values Changed? What would a dynasty startup draft look like if you started a new league today? Garret Price and Andrew Mott put dynasty values to the test with a midseason Superflex, tight end premium startup mock draft featuring a third-round reversal. With breakout players climbing the rankings, established stars losing value, and preseason ADP struggling to keep up, the guys discover some surprising opportunities throughout the draft. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube 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. 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? 👉 Upgrade your strategy and dominate your dynasty league.📊 Rookie Big Boards 📝 Rookie Mock Drafts 📈 Dynasty Rankings 📱 Dynasty Nerds App 🧱 IDP Hub Check out the Ugly Company: https://www.theuglyco.com/ 00:00 Midseason dynasty startup reset 00:39 Superflex, TE premium and JSN at 1.03 01:51 No QB in Garret's top three and Malik Nabers at 1.10 03:56 Kenneth Walker in Round 2 05:25 Trevor Lawrence as Andrew's QB1 06:39 Third-round reversal and Zay Flowers 08:10 Lamar Jackson at 3.05: too early? 11:10 James Cook and a balanced start 12:14 Jordan Love as Andrew's QB2 13:46 Waiting until Round 4 for Jared Goff 15:40 Breece Hall and the Braelon Allen question 17:19 Matthew Golden in Round 5 18:01 Chase Brown as Andrew's RB2 20:05 DeVonta Smith and a win-now direction 20:39 Hello, I'm Ugly sponsor break 21:40 The quarterback run changes the board 22:22 Denzel Boston and best player available 24:13 Jonah Coleman vs. Cam Skattebo 25:42 Finding value in the middle WR tiers 26:39 A.J.
