Whether it’s the yin to its yang, the heads to its tails, or perhaps just the other side of the pillow, I’m authoring this miniseries as a supplement to the Forgotten Dynasty Youth miniseries which just concluded. You might think this represents the short straw of the two, given that veterans are often persona non grata in a largely ageist dynasty culture. However, to me, veterans represent a very important subset of football players, as often times you can find bargains relative to the shiny new toys.
So how am I defining veterans? It’s a bit of a gray area. You can use years in the league, age, or wear and tear, with the latter particularly important at the running back position. However, we already know that players like Davante Adams and Mike Evans have relatively lower ADPs as compared to younger players who produce similarly solely due to their age, but that doesn’t mean they’re “forgotten.” So using age or any other single metric doesn’t seem appropriate to me. But one way or another these will be guys who have been around the block at least a few times, and who I think may have fallen a bit off the radar.
Where there will be structure is in the tiers, which will be threefold and as follows:
I’ll be looking at four players per tier. Let’s continue with the Middle Tier!
ADP: 125.2
Age: 26 years
Years in League: Five
Last season we merely tolerated Jordan, but in 2023 we truly Loved him!
As shown above, in his first year starting Love was routinely joining the ranks of the weekly QB1 tier, ultimately finishing as the QB5. In doing so he utilized a diversity of receiving targets, as no single player eclipsed 800 receiving yards or hit triple digit targets. And to that point, it was the very same pass-catching corps of Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs, Christian Watson and others that current fantasy and NFL minds alike are lamenting.
