The results from last newsletter’s trade poll are in. I asked what you thought of this trade submitted by Matt:

Team A (middle of the pack) receives:

  • Tee Higgins

  • Jonnu Smith

Team B (Rebuilder) receives:

  • Drake London

Survey says… Team B wins with 68.55% of the vote.

Here are some additional comments left by the voters from each side:

Team A voters (Higgins, Jonnu):

  • “Higgens is a 1B to Chases 1a. He’s going to put up really good numbers this year Smith will be utilized the way he was last year and Smith likes his TD. ”

Team B voters (London):

  • “Higgins is capped out as a great WR2 and will always play 2nd fiddle to Chase through this contract/his prime. I believe London has a good chance to be an Elite WR1 and is 2 years younger. Jonnu doesn’t move the needle near enough for me. Last year was more of a right place right time for Jonnu in Miami. He won’t put up those kind of numbers with the Steelers so you can find plenty of other TE’s on his level if that’s a team need. Don’t give up a current/future stud in London for these pieces. ”

Fair for both sides voters:

  • “London is the best and youngest player in the deal, but Higgins is a top WR2 and Jonnu Smith can be a solid contributor”

Our take:

  • There were A LOT of great takes that came in for the London voters. Too many to fit in one email.

  • I’m on board with the London side. He could be in for a monster year (think top 3-5 WR upside). I put some more data below on him in the Player Insights section.

  • I love Tee, but he’s older than London, injury-prone, and doesn’t have the same upside as London.

  • Jonnu is irrelevant to me. His value tanked when he went to PIT in my opinion. Last year feels like the outlier, and I’m okay being wrong if that’s not the case.

Today’s contestant…

This trade comes in from your fellow sub, anonymous. Everyone say, “HI ANONYMOUS.”

Team A receives:

  • George Pickens

  • Jauan Jennings

  • 2025 1.11

  • 2025 2.01

Team B receives:

  • Jonathan Taylor

I’m going to be removing this section from the newsletter after the 9/3 issue as we get into the season, but I’m working on some ideas to still keep this active outside the newsletter. More details to come!

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

Here are some notable risers and fallers from the past week (all quotes are pulled from our Dynasty Pulse Premium feeds):

📈 Risers:

  • +8 📈 Trevor Lawrence (QB17, JAX)

  • +22 📈 Jaxson Dart (QB23, NYG)

  • +13 📈 Jordan Mason (RB34, MIN)

📉 Fallers:

  • -11 📉 Cam Skattebo (RB29, NYG)

  • -15 📉 Nick Chubb (RB71, HOU)

    • “Texans HC DeMeco Ryans' recent comments about Nick Chubb raise red flags, with Ryans notably emphasizing Chubb's age and acknowledging that 'it's not always gonna be the same as his early years in the NFL.'“ — Two Veteran RBs To Avoid In Fantasy Football 2025

  • -27 📉 Brian Robinson Jr. (RB41, SF)

    • “While Robinson currently has no standalone fantasy value in his new role, he is positioned as the preferred handcuff option for McCaffrey in the 49ers' offense. His potential value lies in Kyle Shanahan's RB-friendly system, where he could see significant upside if McCaffrey were to miss any time.” — 16 Fantasy Football Risers & Fallers (2025)

Note: All position rankings below are from our Expert Consensus Dynasty Superflex PPR Rankings

QB22 - Bryce Young (CAR)

  • Despite being ranked as QB29 in MFL ADP, Bryce Young demonstrated superior performance last year as QB20, averaging 13.9 fantasy points per game, outperforming both Drake Maye (13.6) and C.J. Stroud (13) in average points.

  • Young showed remarkable improvement following his benching, transforming into a must-start quarterback by the end of last season. From Week 13 through Week 18, he performed as the QB6, averaging an impressive 21.9 fantasy points per game, even surpassing Bo Nix's average of 21.6.

  • The Panthers have positioned Young for a potential third-year breakout by adding Tetairoa McMillan through the NFL Draft, suggesting his current ADP might be significantly undervaluing his potential for the 2025 season.

RB94 - Zamir White (LV)

  • Zamir White has made significant progress in the Raiders' depth chart, surpassing veteran Raheem Mostert during a strong preseason performance. This development has largely gone unnoticed by the fantasy community, as White doesn't even have an ADP in current drafts.

  • White demonstrated his potential at the end of the 2023 season, where he averaged 23 touches per game and exceeded 100 scrimmage yards in three consecutive weeks. During this stretch, he performed as the RB13 in half PPR leagues, showing his ability to handle a significant workload.

  • White is positioned as the primary backup to Ashton Jeanty in Chip Kelly's offense, with the article suggesting he would be the next man up if Jeanty gets injured. His power-running style makes him particularly valuable in this role, and his previous success indicates he could be a valuable fantasy asset if given the opportunity.

WR9 - Drake London (ATL)

  • JJ predicts Drake London could finish as a top-3 fantasy WR this season, despite being drafted as a fringe top-10 option.

  • London’s advanced stats are elite — he’s posted a 2.0 yards per route run mark in two of his three seasons and has consistently commanded a 23–29% target share.

  • Rookie QB Michael Penix’s aggressive downfield style (10.6 aDOT, highest among recent Falcons QBs) could help London explode, especially with Darnell Mooney banged up.

WR18 - Rashee Rice (KC)

  • Rashee Rice has received a six-game suspension for the 2024 NFL season, which, while significant, is better than the initially reported potential 10-game ban. Due to the Chiefs' Week 10 bye, fantasy managers will only get three games from Rice until Week 11, potentially creating a challenging start for teams that draft him.

  • Rice's fantasy value has taken a substantial hit, with his ranking dropping to WR51 in 2025 fantasy football rankings. He's now being grouped with unproven young players like Keon Coleman and Cedric Tillman, as well as veteran options like Christian Kirk and Michael Pittman, suggesting a significant decline in his draft stock.

  • For dynasty and empire leagues, Rice remains a viable target despite the suspension, particularly for managers playing the long game. While his dynasty ADP is expected to slide from its current position in Round 3, his youth (25 years old) and potential usage through 2030 and beyond make him an interesting buy-low candidate around Round 5 for teams not focused on immediate production.

TE6 - George Kittle (SF)

  • George Kittle is pegged as TE1 overall again in 2025 by multiple analysts.

  • He ranked as TE1 in PPG last season and finished top-12 at the position in 13 of 14 games.

  • With Brandon Aiyuk injured and Deebo Samuel gone, Kittle could finally see 120–130 targets, unlocking his ceiling.

That’s all for today!

See ya pizza,
