The results from Sunday are in. I asked what you thought of this trade that went down in my league recently:

Team A (Contender) receives:

• Evan Engram

• Tony Pollard

• 2025 Pick 3.04

Team B (Rebuilder) receives:

• Kyle Pitts

• Blake Corum

• 2027 2nd Round Pick

Team A was the winner in convincing fashion.

Some of you wrote in some additional thoughts on the deal for each side:

Team A voters:

• “I'd take Engram over Pitts. Pollard over Corum. And the draft picks weren't too far apart, plus, if you wheel and deal, you can improve that 2025 pick.”

• “Definitely lopsided! Pollard is a starter, and Corum is 2nd or 3rd string... Plus, waiting 2 years for the draft pick is ok, but I don't like it.”

Team B voters:

• “I do think Engram & Pollard have higher upsides in 2025 than Pitts & Corum, but they are both a little long in the tooth & battled recent injuries that I don't think it will last long. A rebuilding team trading them away to a contending team for young talent that has been disappointing but still has a chance to work they're way out of a funk is perfect.”

Our take:

• The Rebuilder probably could’ve tried to get a little more from this deal because of the bad reputation of Pitts in the fantasy community (the contender has been desperate to give him away). But hey, if Pitts turns it around and becomes the player we always hoped he would be for fantasy, this could look like a steal in a year or two (I’m not counting on it, though).

Today’s contestant…

This trade comes in from your fellow sub, Marc. Everyone say, “HI MARC.”

Team A (Rebuilder) receives:

• Rome Odunze

• 2025 1.02 pick

Team B (Contender) receives:

• CeeDee Lamb

• 2025 2.03 pick

We updated our consensus rankings on Monday (as is tradition).

Here are some notable risers and fallers from the beginning of June to July:

NOTE: I started to share some insights in this section from our Dynasty Pulse Premium (DPP) feeds, so that’s what DPP means.

📈 Risers:

• +4 📈 Drake London (25 ➡️ 21) WR9

  • It’s not often we see this much movement in the top 25.

  • DPP Insight: “London had 158 targets last year, just 10-11 shy of the average for top-3 WRs over the past three seasons.”

• +10 📈 Jameson Williams (88 ➡️ 78) WR30

  • Jameo has been one of my favorite buys all offseason.

  • DPP Insight: “Williams’ target volume is a concern, but he finished last season with at least seven targets in six of his final seven games, averaging over 15 PPR points in that stretch.”

• +27 📈 J.K. Dobbins (193 ➡️ 166) RB50

  • The drum beat for Dobbins is slowly picking up each week. Will be really interesting to see how this shakes out early in the season. He could end up being a sneaky top 24 back at a very low cost.

  • DPP Insight: “He ranked fourth in PFF's pass block grades last year and set career highs in rushing attempts (195), rushing yards (905), yards per game (69.6), targets (38) and receptions (32)”

  • DPP Insight: “Expected to serve as the third-down back and likely goal-line back for Denver, though RJ Harvey is still projected to be the more productive back”

📉 Fallers:

• -4 📉 C.J. Stroud (21 ➡️ 25) QB11

  • His O-line scares me this year, and with limited rushing upside, he doesn’t have much margin for error from a fantasy standpoint.

  • DPP Insight: “Only threw to his first read 60% of the time, raising concerns given the poor offensive line performance.”

• -8 📉 Jayden Reed (96 ➡️ 104) WR45

  • Hard to trust any WR in this crowded room.

  • DPP Insight: “Concerns remain about Reed's limited usage in two-WR sets, with the expectation that Matthew Golden and Romeo Doubs will be the primary outside receivers, potentially capping Reed's weekly floor.”

• -12 📉 Jack Bech (120 ➡️ 132) WR53

  • It’s hard to tell if all the Dont’e buzz is getting out of hand or if he really is worth the hype. Bech is seeing the opposite effect of this.

  • DPP Insight: “Bech, a second-round rookie with an ADP of 142.6, is falling in draft rankings after reports emerged that he's playing behind fellow rookie Dont'e Thornton, who was selected 50 picks later.”

Check out the fully updated rankings below!

QB - Joe Burrow

Mentioned in: 📺️ YouTube: 12 LANDMINES in Dynasty Drafts That Will WRECK Your Team | Dynasty Fantasy Football

• Joe Burrow is flagged as the riskiest first-round pick in dynasty startups due to his injury history and the fact that his age is no longer a major advantage compared to other elite quarterbacks.

• A big part of Burrow's past fantasy value came from a high-volume passing offense driven by a poor defense; if the defense improves, his passing attempts and fantasy ceiling could drop.

• With other top-tier quarterbacks and difference-makers like Jayden Daniels, Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, and skill players like Justin Jefferson and Bijan Robinson available, Burrow's value is seen as less secure and more questionable at his current ADP.

RB - Jarquez Hunter

Mentioned in: Dynasty Start-Up Draft Targets: 5 Rookies and Sophomores to Chase in Fantasy Football

• Hunter was drafted in the fourth round by the Rams after four highly efficient seasons in the SEC

• The article predicts Hunter will overtake Kyren Williams as the Rams' RB1, citing Williams' issues with creating explosive plays and ball security

• Hunter showed elite tackle-breaking ability in the SEC and could be a league winner once he secures the starting role

WR - Roman Wilson

Mentioned in: 📺️ YouTube: Dynasty Deep Sleepers: Stash These Players Before They Break Out

• Roman Wilson, drafted by the Steelers in the third round, is seen as a deep sleeper with a strong chance to become the team's WR2 or WR3, especially with Calvin Austin as his main competition.

• Wilson led Michigan in receptions on a national championship team and was the best receiver at the Senior Bowl, drawing a pre-draft comparison to Stefon Diggs from the hosts.

• Mike Tomlin cited Wilson's health as a reason for limited rookie-year trust, but with a full offseason, Wilson is expected to see increased snaps and could out-target Austin if given equal playing time.

• Wilson's perseverance story and versatile skill set make him a favorite deep stash for dynasty managers looking for upside in Pittsburgh's passing game.

WR - Keon Coleman

Mentioned in: 📺️ YouTube: 10 Breakout Wide Receivers in 2025 Fantasy Football

• Keon Coleman quietly outperformed Rome Odunze in efficiency as a rookie, posting 1.81 yards per route run (vs. Rome's 1.28) and 11.48 yards per target (vs. 7.5), despite running fewer routes and dealing with injuries and being in the 'doghouse.'

• The Bills made minimal changes to their WR room, signaling confidence in Coleman, and with expected regression in rushing touchdowns, the passing volume (and red zone targets) should rise.

• Coleman is a late-round sleeper in redraft leagues, worth stashing for the first few weeks to see if he emerges as Josh Allen's WR1; the only concern is his production dipped late in the year, but the upside is significant.

TE - Theo Johnson

Mentioned in: Fantasy Football Draft Strategy: Late-Round Advice (2025)

• The Giants' second-year tight end showed promise before a foot injury derailed his rookie season, catching 3+ passes in 7 of his last 9 games in 2025

• Johnson impressed by maintaining an 84% snap share as a rookie tight end, including 86% in his debut

• The coaching staff has expressed high confidence in Johnson, who could be positioned for a strong sophomore season
