One key to winning dynasty leagues is finding first-round talent with later-round rookie picks. My friend @alfredoabrown.bsky.social from Pretend GM joins me on Dynasty Compass to discuss the rookies we might be sleeping on, his scouting approach and what the Combine is like in person. Links 👇

Is there a true WR1 in the 2026 rookie class? While Mendoza, Love and Sadiq are clear No. 1s, the WR position is unsettled. @4whomjbelltolls.bsky.social joins me on Dynasty Compass to break down the 2026 WR class and offer guidance on what dynasty managers should do with Picks 1.03-1.10. Links 👇

Is your dynasty team stuck? Are you headed for another 6-8 or 7-7 season, not good enough to contend, not bad enough to rebuild? You might be in Dynasty Purgatory. Find out why you're stuck in this week's half-hour episode of Dynasty Compass. @dynastycompass.bsky.social

Sober one year yesterday. A year ago, I decided to end a 35-year relationship with alcohol. It's a choice I keep choosing. If there's a change you want to make in your life, just start, right now. Choose it, and then keep choosing it. Every journey begins with a single step.

My post-Super Bowl dynasty TE rankings have a clear top 3: Bowers, McBride & LaPorta. The challenge for dynasty managers is what to do if you don't have one of them. It depends on whether you're trying to win now (older TE producing now) or later (younger, still developing TE).

(6/7) WAS and NO have given up more than 20 return points per game on average. CLE, DAL, GB, PIT, SEA and TEN have given up at least 15. Others have been quite stingy. Seven have given up fewer than 10 kick return points per game on average: ARZ, CIN, JAX, LAR, MIA, MIN and NYG.

100

Jeff Blaylock @jeffblaylock.bsky.social · 31/12/2024

(5/7) 42.5% of punts were returned for 8,157 yards, 5 TDs and 1,681.4 #SFB14 points. Punt returners with no fantasy-relevant offensive roles or kickoff return duties provided no bankable value. But those with those roles got some solid bonus points off punters from TEN, CLE, CHI, NE & IND.

Jeff Blaylock @jeffblaylock.bsky.social · 31/12/2024

(4/7) Washington faces Kavontae Turpin, the KR1, this week, so I expect they will break 2K yards. Turpin has a shot at 1,000 KO return yards – he has 874.

100

Jeff Blaylock @jeffblaylock.bsky.social · 31/12/2024

(2/7) Across 17 weeks, kick returners produced 6,515 #SFB14 points, nearly as many as the top 32 tight ends combined. 33% of the 2,629 kickoffs were returned for 23,818 yards, 7 TDs and 4,833.6 points. In all of 2023, 22% of 2,698 were returned for 13,530 yds & 4 TDs.

(9/9) WAS is more than 400 KO return yards and 100 #SFB14 pts ahead of the next highest team, NO. Sadly for SFB14 playoff teams, WAS is idle this week. Teams to target for Wk 14 include NO, CAR, SEA, PIT, GB, KC (if Wright is kicking) and DAL. The best matchup of the week is Eric Gray vs. NO.

000

Jeff Blaylock @jeffblaylock.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

(8/9) Punt returners with no fantasy-relevant offensive role or kickoff return duties remain un-startable in #SFB14 lineups. Overall, punters have surrendered returns on 643 of 1,492 punts (43%) for 6,531 yards, 5 TDs and 1,356.2 SFB14 points.

100

Jeff Blaylock @jeffblaylock.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

(6/9) Turpin & Blackshear remain the top #SFB14 kick returners despite not returning a single kick this week. Other top returners were quiet owing mostly to bad matchups or, for Jha’Quan Jackson, a teammate getting all the returns: Julius Chestnut has 187 yds on 7 returns over the last 2 weeks.

100

Jeff Blaylock @jeffblaylock.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

(3/9) WAS kickers continue to be the gift that keeps on giving, whether it’s Seibert (75% return rate) or Gonzalez (77% return rate) kicking off. More than 400 return yards and 100 #SFB14 points separate WAS from the next highest team.

(9/10) Turpin and Blackshear have been more matchup-proof than most and remain viable plays despite tough matchups. Turpin gets the NYG, who have allowed less than 50 #SFB14 points this year. Blackshear gets TB, for whom Gill has a 83% touchback rate.

100

Jeff Blaylock @jeffblaylock.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

(8/10) Most of the top KO returners face touchback-happy kickers in Week 13. The best #SFB14 KR matchup is Jha’Quan Jackson vs WAS. Gray vs DAL & Mims (if he returns kicks) vs CLE are OK matchups.

100

Jeff Blaylock @jeffblaylock.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

(7/10) Top teams to target with #SFB14 KO returners are WAS, NO, CLE, DAL, PIT and HOU. The best target for punt returners is TEN. Avoid starting KRs vs. ARI, CIN, KC, IND, JAX, LAR, MIA, MIN, NYJ & NYG.

100

Jeff Blaylock @jeffblaylock.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

(6/10) Punt returners with no fantasy-relevant offensive role or KO duties continue to have little standalone #SFB14 value. TEN presents the best matchup for PRs.

100

Jeff Blaylock @jeffblaylock.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

(5/10) Turpin’s huge game puts him over 200 #SFB14 KR points. If my math is right, Turpin is the WR2 in #SFB14 scoring behind only Chase. 5 others have at least 100 KR points, 5 more at least 90. The top 8 KO returners combined have made 25% of the total KO returns.

100

Jeff Blaylock @jeffblaylock.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

(4/10) Other starting Ks with a >40% return KO rate: Grupe 72.4% A. Carlson 68.8% Piniero 55.6% Aubrey 51.8% Myers 49.1% Hopkins 47.8% Santos 44.0% McManus 44.0% Boswell 40.3% #SFB14

100

Jeff Blaylock @jeffblaylock.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

(3/10) A. Seibert continues to be the gift that keeps on giving: 179 return yds & a TD to K. Turpin + 43 yds and a TD to J. Thomas on an OSK return this week. Seibert, despite missing 2 gms, has given up 1,237 KO return yds & a 75% return rate for 267.4 #SFB14 pts, all league worsts (min. 10 KOs).

100

Jeff Blaylock @jeffblaylock.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

(2/10) In all of 2023, 6 kickers surrendered at least 500 kickoff return yards. So far this season, 9 have given up at least 500 with 3 more just a single average return away from 500. #SFB14

100

Jeff Blaylock @jeffblaylock.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

(1/10) Week 12 #SFB14 Kick Return Report 2024 (12 weeks) – 574 of 1,941 kickoffs returned (31.2%) for 15,616 yds & 5 TDs 2023 (18 weeks) – 587 of 2,698 returned (21.8%) for 13,530 yds & 4 TDs

(7/7) Through 11 weeks, kickoff and punt returns have produced more than 4,000 #SFB points. Returners provide potentially huge playoff scores but also have extremely low floors.
