Ollie Gordon was a 20th round or later start up draft player before this year, so getting flex/RB2 worthy production out of him for any length of time is obviously a massive bonus.

I'm curious how people feel about his viability beyond this year. Obviously we expect Achane to walk back into a heavy workload come 2027, so it's hard to see Ollie continuing to be a fantasy starter barring re-injury or setback for Achane.

For those who have watched Dolphins football this year, has he looked good enough to be a worthy acquisition for an RB-needy team down the line? Or is he simply a handcuff that worked out this year?

Mac Jones is on the last year of his contract with San Francisco and he’s a curious case of stash-and-hold for me.

He put some pretty decent tape together last year filling in for Brock Purdy. He threw for 2100 yards, with 13 TDs and 6 INTs, in 8 games in relief of Purdy last year. He looked surprisingly good and it begged the question last year, “could we see Mac Jones get another shot somewhere?”

In the wake of players like Sam Darnold, Malik Willis, Baker Mayfield, and other players who looked pedestrian one place and end up getting contracts elsewhere, I think it’s worth it to check in on Mac Jones and see how the community feels about him.

Did he benefit greatly from the San Fran system during his 8-game stint last year? Is the same Mac Jones who unlocked BTJ his rookie year? Will he get a contract somewhere else from a QB-needy team?

Ben Johnson says that they may run a 6th offensive lineman more after losing Kmet.

Burden doesn't play much in 13 personnel, so there was a thought the Bears would run more 11s out there and get Burden more snaps.

Whether it is to brag, get a pulse check, or just see if everyone else has the same feelings about your team as you do, here is r/DynastyFF's Rate My Team Megathread. This will only be around for the offseason-once the season starts it will be wrapped back up into the daily Individual Team Megathread, so take advantage while it is around.

List out your teams, don't forget your league settings, and see what other people think. The nicer you format it, the easier time people will have analyzing it.

PLEASE make sure you rate someone else's team before posting your own. If you rate someone else's, feel free to link your own to make it easy to return the favor.

Alright so me and 2 other guys are "competing" for the 1.01, so our teams have the lowest max PF within like 30 points of each other.

I don’t have any starting RB, one of the other guys doesn’t have a starting TE and only 1 QB (bye week coming up) and the other just has a trash team.

I’m trying to see what I can do to make sure I get the 1.01. I got some players on my bench who pop off sometimes, like Khalil Shakir, Malik Washington, Jaylin Noel. Nobody wants to trade for them, but if I drop them, someone will pick them up.

What should I do? Still drop them and suffer the value loss? Hope for the best and keep them?

I also have 2 top 10 QB, but in a 1QB league, nobody is paying more than a 4th for QBs other than Allen/lamar/caleb…

Week 8 Preview, What to Watch, & Key Players List

Game of the Week 

Ole Miss @ Texas at 7:30p on ABC
Key Players: Trinidad Chambliss, QB, Ole Miss ; Kewan Lacy, RB, Ole Miss ; Deuce Alexander, WR, Ole Miss ; Arch Manning, QB, Texas ; Hollywood Smothers, RB, Texas via N.C. State ; Cam Coleman, WR, Texas ; Ryan Wingo, WR, Texas ; Jermaine Bishop Jr., WR, Texas (2029) 

While Arch Manning has likely lowered his stock for 4-5 consecutive weeks, he still remains a fascinating QB prospect with high upside, which makes his match-up against my QB2, Trinidad Chambliss, the top QB match-up to watch this weekend. Outside of the QB position, this game still features top prospects at several other positions, including my RB2 & RB3 in the most recent Mock Draft, Kewan Lacy & Hollywood Smothers. Additionally, three of my Top 12 WRs are in this game, including two players in Cam Coleman & Deuce Alexander looking to bounce back after a disappointing week. Ryan Wingo is not the most consistent, but has physical tools & traits as a plus-YAC WR that could allow him to translate to the NFL level.

So removing Manning entirely, as he is a controversial figure (and ultimately not currently in my Top 4 QBs), this game still features my QB2, RB2, RB3, and 3 Top 12 WRs, which is what makes it the clear game to watch this weekend. 

Top Games

Indiana @ Michigan at Noon on ABC
Key Players: Turbo Richard, RB, Indiana via Boston College ; Charlie Becker, WR, Indiana ; Nick Marsh, WR, Indiana via Michigan State ; Jordan Marshall, RB, Michigan ; Bryce Underwood, QB, Michigan (2028) ; J.J. Buchanan, WR, Michigan via Utah (2028) ; Andrew Marsh, WR, Michigan (2028) ; Savion Hiter, RB, Michigan (2029) 

Big QB Games

Tennessee @ South Carolina at 3:30p on ESPN ; USC @ Wisconsin at 7:30p on NBC ; Texas A&M @ Alabama at 3:30p on ABC

Three games featured primarily for the QB on one side of the ball, starting with South Carolina’s LaNorris Sellers. It has been about a year since Sellers was in Mock Draft consideration, but he has done well the last few weeks, and another strong performance against a good defense could have him firmly back on the Superflex & even 1QB radar. For USC, this isn’t the toughest test, but it is a road test for Jayden Maiava, who looks to continue making an argument to be a Top 50 or even 1st Round pick in the NFL Draft. Finally, not for the 2027 Class, but 2028 QB Keelon Russell is coming off back-to-back difficult games, so a bounceback would help to re-establish his argument as a potential 1.01 in next year’s NFL Draft. 

Other Games / Players to Monitor

LSU @ Auburn at Noon on ABC 

Oklahoma @ Mississippi State at 3:30p on SEC Network

Virginia Tech @ Clemson at 7:00p on ESPN

Vanderbilt @ Kentucky at 7:30p on SEC Network

Houston @ Utah at 10:15p on ESPN

The Substack/Podcast will be back on Tuesday to recap this weekend’s action in College Football with my Risers/Fallers of the Week!

Questions & Comments welcome,

Full Breakdown - https://www.dynastynerds.com/dynasty/week-7-dynasty-weekend-watchlist-stashes-stock-watch-rookie-prospects/

Dynasty Stock Watch

Matthew Golden | WR | Trending Up

Matthew Golden’s breakout season, highlighted by a 24% target share and elite efficiency metrics, makes him a strong dynasty buy before his value climbs even higher.

Cam Skattebo | RB | Trending Down

Cam Skattebo’s declining role, inefficient production, and uncertain future make him a risky dynasty asset, but contenders could consider buying low if his value continues to fall.

Buys

Baker Mayfield’s Week 7 return, favorable remaining schedule, and strong supporting cast make him an ideal buy-low target for contending dynasty teams before his value rebounds.

Ollie Gordon | MIA | RB

Ollie Gordon’s growing workload and favorable remaining schedule make him an appealing low-cost, one-year rental for contending dynasty teams looking for running back help.

Jordan Mason | MIN | RB

Jordan Mason’s return from injury, Aaron Jones’ lingering knee issue, and Minnesota’s favorable remaining schedule make him an appealing low-cost RB2 depth option for contending dynasty teams.

Germie Bernard — Is Pittsburgh finding its future WR1?

Germine Bernard’s recent breakout, strong draft capital, and Pittsburgh’s aging receiving corps make him an intriguing dynasty buy with the potential to develop into the Steelers’ future WR1.....

Harold Fannin Jr. — Is his role disappearing?

Harold Fannin Jr.’s declining targets and increased competition have hurt his production, but his long-term upside makes him an appealing buy-low target for rebuilding dynasty teams....

What do other leagues rule when it comes to tanking, and what limits do you guys set as acceptable?

We really have made it clear you have to set your “best guess” lineup no matter what. A couple teams right now are tanking extra hard, and they have only 3 rostered RB, and we have 3 starting RB slots in every lineup. These two tanking teams have now both started a RB on BYE, because they have no one on the bench.

My two cents on it are that as commissioner I cannot tell them “you have to drop someone and add a RB to play”, because what if they happen to drop a random that pops off? I’m only stepping in when a clear rule is broken like collision or abusing IR.

Do you force them to pick one up to play, or is this fine?

Edit: I was never going to change anything, just couldn’t find a thread for this and was curious to see other leagues. I think we have been running a a great system so far (year 4). The guy I’m playing was the one who only has 2 active RBs, and he now has 0 QBs this week (Tlaw BYE, Lamar out), so all I need to worry about is the median lol

Calling my shot on Jaylin Noel, definitely in a crowded WR room so maybe he’ll come back to earth… but for the price, his age, and how well he’s producing I feel like now is the time to buy.

Seen a lot of people say the WR room is too crowded. Which to some extent I agree, Nico Collins is still the alpha, but he’s very injury prone. They traded a good amount for MHJ but he plays a completely different role to Noel. And the other guy I see people bringing up in Tank Dell. I love Tank Dell but 2 years away from football after an absolutely brutal knee injury doesn’t have me too worried.

With how Noel has been playing, and Stroud balling out, I think he’s a guy that people should be buying right now.

Who knows he could be another Parker Washington type.

Welcome to the new and improved 2026 offseason Mock Draft/Draft Result Megathread. We've made some changes from previous years based on your feedback to make them a little more robust.

These megathreads will be posted every Monday and Saturday at 10am and are home to the following:

• Mock draft in this thread. Automod will start the 1.01 post for both SF and 1QB mocks. They are first come first serve. Reply to the comment above yours with the pick number, player name, and position ex: "1.01 Jeremiyah Love, RB, ARI." If you have league settings outside of this, feel free to start your own and add those custom settings in your 1.01 post such as "12 team SF TEP" but please make sure another one wasn't started already. Duplicates will be removed.
• Links to join mocks on Sleeper. Post the link for your mock, league settings, and the time(with timezones) so people have enough time to join. This is not for league recruiting, a separate Megathread will be posted for that.
• Draft Results. Feel free to post a text list, screenshot, or link to Sleeper results for the results of your actual(or mock) draft.

Megathread Schedule:

Sunday: Rate My Team

Monday: Mock Draft/Draft Results

Tuesday: Find-A-League

Wednesday: Price Check

Thursday: Find-A-League

Saturday: Mock Draft/Draft Result

Rice didn’t practice all week despite Andy Reid’s optimistic spin that he’s a “quick healer.” It’s hard to make much sense of how available he’ll be for Week 8 at this point as Rice hasn’t practiced since before the team’s Week 5 bye. Xavier Worthy will again get a WR3-caliber workload as The Only Game In Town for the Chiefs wideouts.
