Ashton Jeanty entered the season as one of dynasty's premier young running backs, but Mike Washington's increasing involvement has raised serious questions about his long-term workload.
Meanwhile, George Pickens creates another difficult evaluation. His talent is undeniable, but concerns about consistency, free agency, and his future offensive situation have the Nerds reconsidering where he belongs in the rankings.
Luther Burden III has quickly become one of the most intriguing young dynasty receivers. Rich believes his role in Ben Johnson's offense could eventually make him a consistently elite fantasy asset, while Garret remains more cautious about Chicago's crowded collection of weapons.
The guys also debate Isaiah Likely and how aggressively dynasty managers should value tight ends in premium formats. Is locking down a productive young tight end worth passing on similarly valued running backs and receivers?
