Examining Return Specialists in Your Dynasty Leagues

This article is going to be of interest to a small niche group of dynasty owners. Not every league includes special team points, but in those leagues that do, there can be added value to several players that often get overlooked. Every league has different scoring, so their impact will vary from league to league, but if you're getting fantasy points for kick and punt return yards and touchdowns, these players need to be on your radar - especially since the NFL has changed the kick return rules for 2024.

Hopefully, we can find some hidden values in our leagues by using OurLands depth charts to see who is currently slotted in as each team's kick and punt returners. The vast majority of return specialists are wide receivers, but there are quite a few running backs in that role as well, and we have some defensive backs sprinkled in there, too. In IDP leagues specifically, you can gain an advantage over your leaguemates by gaining a few special teams points that nobody else is getting.
