Dynasty Nerds Podcast | Dynasty Fantasy Football 1QB PPR Dynasty Startup Draft! Dynasty Fantasy Football Podcast EP. 786
Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price conducted a live one QB PPR startup draft with Nerd Herd members, revealing stark strategy differences from superflex formats. Rich secured Bijan Robinson at 1.02, while Garrett grabbed De'Von Achane at 1.06, and Matt made an experimental pick taking Brock Bowers at 1.10 despite later regretting the decision.
The draft showcased dramatically different positional value compared to superflex formats. Drake May went in the second round, but most quarterbacks fell significantly later. Rich won the quarterback chicken game, waiting until round 10 to take Dak Prescott while quality options like C.J. Stroud, Cam Ward, and Jared Goff remained available. He emphasized cycling through veteran quarterbacks in one QB formats rather than investing premium picks.
Matt's Bowers pick sparked debate about tight end strategy. He admitted afterward he would pivot to CeeDee Lamb if redrafting, noting Tucker Kraft went in the fifth round with similar per-game production. Rich doubled down on tight ends, taking Kyle Pitts and Dalton Kincaid back-to-back, betting on elite upside at the position. The hosts agreed this represents the deepest young tight end class in dynasty history, making waiting on the position more viable than ever before.
