The Dynasty Aftermath: 23 Fantasy Flavors

With that in mind, here we go.

Fantasy MVP of the Week

He’s constantly undervalued and it makes sense because he’s in the shadows of Mike Evans, but Chris Godwin is as consistent as they come. This week, all he did was record 11 catches for 125 yards with two touchdowns. It was his third game of the year with at least 22 fantasy points and sixth straight double-digit performance to start the year. There are a lot of other “elite” receivers who get more love out there, but the consistency and production of Godwin is somehow still one of the best kept secrets in dynasty leagues.

Fantasy LVP of the Week

The Titans passing game is bad and we know that. However, the fact Calvin Ridley has two catches for 14 yards over the past three weeks is flat-out inexcusable. This week, he didn’t have a single catch. He has more rushing yards (19) than receiving yards over the same span, which is ridiculous. In five games played, the Titans top three receivers (Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins and Tyler Boyd) have a grand total of 36 catches for 443 yards and two touchdowns. Ridley is on pace for 479 yards, Hopkins is on pace for 595, and Boyd is on pace for 432. Will Levis has been bad, but that’s almost impossible.

Gut Checks

I’d be worried if I was ignoring the attention Tank Dell got from CJ Stroud this week.

I’d be worried if I didn’t think Derrick Henry could honestly rush for 2,000 yards this year.

I’d be worried if I thought Deebo Samuel was out of the woods.

I’d be worried if I had given up on Tony Pollard.

I’d be worried if I was relying on Trey Sermon.

I’d be worried if I built my team around Trevor Lawrence.

I’d be worried if I didn’t consider Deshaun Watson droppable.

I’d be worried if I missed out on Tyrone Tracy.

I’d be worried if I thought Chuba Hubbard was going to just go away.

I’d be worried if I wasn’t kind of impressed by Spencer Rattler.

I’d be worried if I wasn’t really impressed by Caleb Williams.

I’d be worried if I thought Bijan Robinson was all of a sudden elite again.

I’d be worried if I was still lukewarm on JK Dobbins.

I’d be worried if I thought Russell Wilson was starting again any time soon.

I’d be worried if I was still on the fence in regards to Jameson Williams.

I’d be worried if I had Chris Olave. Yes, he was hurt. Still, this has been a bad start.

I’d be worried if I was ignoring the start for George Kittle.

I’d be worried if I needed David Montgomery or Jahmyr Gibbs to be the bellcow.

I’d be worried if I wasn’t noticing some real consistency from Drake London.

I’d be worried if I missed out on the window to steal Mark Andrews.

I’d be worried if I needed DeAndre Hopkins this year.

I’d be worried if I wasn’t disappointed with Jauan Jennings lately.

I’d be worried if I thought Zamir White was getting his job back.

Another week at the office and he’s going to be the offensive focus all year with Adams gone.

4.) Rome Odunze, WR CHI
This has honestly become a slow start.

5.) Brian Thomas, WR JAX
Bit of a down week.

AI Question of the Week

It’s starting to get a little embarrassing. As much as I try to get AI to give honest answers, it seems I keep coming up the big winner.
