June 01, 2025

Yooo!

We’re coming into your inbox hot this evening like Mike Tolbert vulturing a 1-yard TD.

Here’s what I got for you today:

  • We’re getting into the blog game

  • 9 articles we loved this week

  • Top 5 player insights

Giddy up.

We’re getting into the blog game.

Dynasty Pulse was created to give you faster insights — and that’s never going to change.

But sometimes, we’re going to want to go a little deeper than what our newsletter character limit allows.

We ALSO want to use this platform to give knowledgeable dynasty fans like yourself a chance to share their thoughts and analysis with the world.

So it gives me great pleasure to introduce our first guest writer, Kevin Lepp.

Kevin learned NFL and College scouting from Dane Vandernat and John Wooten while attending Sports Management Worldwide. He brings 20 years of experience playing fantasy sports and has worked in multiple professional sports, from the NBA to his time working college football games for Pro Football Focus.

We’re launching our blog with a quick piece from Kevin titled: Late-Round Gems: Fantasy Football Rookies Ready to Make an Impact in 2025

We added a NEW source this week (see below). If you have a source you want us to add, reply to this email and let us know!

  • Kyler Murray feels fully recovered from his 2022 ACL tear and plans to run more in 2025 season

  • Murray ran 78 times for 572 yards last season while still feeling limitations from his knee

  • Has finished as QB9 (2019), QB2 (2020), QB11 (2021), and QB10 (2024) in his full seasons

  • Currently being drafted as QB9 in Round 8, with potential to return to his 2020 form when he averaged 24.2 fantasy points per game

  • Barkley amassed 378 total touches for the Philadelphia Eagles in 2023, becoming the ninth 2,000-yard rusher in NFL history

  • Added another 104 touches in the playoffs, bringing his total to 482 touches (436 carries) for the entire season

  • The article warns against drafting Barkley at his current ADP or first overall pick due to the 'Curse of 370' concerns

  • Historical data suggests Barkley is at high risk for significant production decline or injury in 2024 based on his heavy workload

  • Noel has significant reliability concerns, particularly taking in-breaking routes too deep and allowing defensive backs to undercut his routes

  • Shows a concerning pattern of dropping balls over the middle of the field, including an instance that led to a bobbled interception

  • Faces challenges in winning trust in a crowded receiver room unless he shows dramatic improvement in these areas

  • Thomas demonstrated impressive rookie performance with his combination of speed, size, and agility

  • Currently ranked as WR8 in ADP, which analysts consider too high given the addition of Travis Hunter to the team

  • Concerns about quarterback Trevor Lawrence's ceiling may limit Thomas's production, as Lawrence hasn't exceeded 25 passing touchdowns or consistently topped 4,000 passing yards

  • Engram is being moved up rankings due to his new role as the 'joker' in Sean Payton's and Joe Lombardi's offense

  • Expected to fill a role similar to Jimmy Graham's previous position, which historically led all tight ends in targets, receptions, and receiving yards

  • Article suggests Engram could produce numbers rivaling top WR2s while remaining less owned in contests
