Episode Details

Kick off the week with Dynasty Nerds' risers and fallers episode, where we react to the biggest value shifts from Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season in Week 1. We highlight Javonte Williams' explosive debut with the Cowboys, which boosts his appeal for contenders. Additionally, we discuss Daniel Jones’ efficient takeover with the Colts, positioning him as a sneaky QB2 buy, and Emeka Egbuka's immediate impact with the Buccaneers, scoring twice and indicating a potential WR1 trajectory.On the other side, we analyze Tua Tagovailoa's disappointing performance with the Dolphins, raising concerns about a possible blowup. We also look at Kenneth Walker's challenges with a timeshare alongside Zach Charbonnet in Seattle, and Kaleb Johnson's benching with the Steelers amid the emergence of Kenneth Gainwell and Jaylen Warren.

Hosts Rich, Garret, and Jagger explore buy-low opportunities, like the potential value of post-hype Javonte Williams, concerns about panic selling Tua amid issues with Mike McDaniel, and Charbonnet's growing role in the ground-and-pound game. We also mention other players worth noting, such as Quentin Johnston's quiet rise, Dylan Sampson's PPR upside, and Isaiah Pacheco's split role with the Chiefs, which is affecting his value.

Additionally, we provide injury updates on Xavier Worthy, George Kittle, Drake London, Evan Engram, Brock Bowers, and Jauan Jennings, while keeping an eye on backups like Jalen Royals, Ricky Pearsall, and RJ Harvey. Tune in for insights on trade targets, rebuilding strategies, and adjustments for contenders to capitalize on the early-season chaos.
