The annual NFL Scouting Combine is the first major event of the off-season, in many ways signaling the start to what has grown to become dynasty players’ favorite time of year. The week’s primary focus is on the incoming rookie class, but the event is so much more than that. With coaches, executives, agents, and media all mixed together in one city, the reports that leak from Indy are endless.
One of my favorite pieces of fantasy football content each year is Matthew Berry’s look back at what he saw and heard at the Combine. I’ve bene fortunate enough to meet with Matthew at the Combine in recent years, and I can confirm the scene he describes is fully accurate. Walking into a bar or restaurant is like opening a present on Christmas morning. You might not know what you’ll find, but you know it will be good.
If you haven’t already, go read Matthew Berry’s 25 Most Interesting Things He Heard at 2025 NFL Combine. It’s free to read over at NBC Sports.
While Matthew is a huge supporter of the dynasty game in general, most of his focus in this specific article was how things could play out in the short term. I wanted to take a second look at what Matthew heard, sharing some dynasty spin. Here we go!
Much of the conversation at the Combine clearly focused on Matthew Stafford and the Rams. While we now know the outcome of that situation, it does kick off a round of quarterback musical chairs that will impact Aaron Rodgers, Sam Darnold, and others. Back to Stafford, although it briefly looked like he was a goner, the veteran remaining in Los Angeles is a good thing for his dynasty value over the next two seasons, which is all we can count on from the 37-year-old gunslinger. It’s also good for Puka Nacua, Kyren Williams, and all other key Rams players.
Rodgers is, by default, going to be one of the most discussed players this off-season as he looks for a new home. While he’s still a hot-button player in the media, dynasty managers have moved on. He carries very little value, even in superflex formats, and considering the two options Matthew suggested as possible landing spots (Titans, Giants) are below-average offenses, I doubt this changes anytime soon. I did find it surprising that Rodgers is reportedly willing to wait for an injury to a starting quarterback if one of those two teams don’t work out. Don’t expect Rodgers to be signing as soon as the bell sounds next Monday.
Sticking with the quarterback position, perhaps the biggest shocker of Matthew’s article was that the Jets are planning on starting Tyrod Taylor to begin the season, while hopefully grooming a rookie quarterback at the same time. This makes Taylor worthy of a pickup in superflex leagues, but it is certainly not encouraging for Garrett Wilson, who is still being drafted as a top-15 dynasty receiver. I’m afraid it could be yet another wasted year for Wilson.
