Last year, you could have won your league selling high on guys like Brian Thomas Jr., Chuba Hubbard, Xavier Worthy, or even Tyree Kill. So this year, we are giving you the guys to sell high on going into the 2026 fantasy football season. I'm Mitch Anderson. I'm Justin Mello. And this is the lineup fantasy football show. We are breaking down six of our favorite dynasty cells. We don't want to waste anybody's time. Let's jump right into things.

Mello, you start us off with your number one. Mitch, I am fully prepared right now to be absolutely hated by our audience. Oh, no. I started with a guy here that is so universally loved. Now here's a guy. Yeah, here's a guy that everyone loves and Mello is saying, trade him in your Dynasty League. And that is George Pickens. Oh, no.

I know. This is bad. I had to say it, though. I had to do it. and I will be the first one to admit. George Pickens is phenomenal. He is absolutely electric. He is so fun to watch.

But I just don't think his perceived value will ever be higher than it is right now. Yeah. He is 24 years old coming off this superb season. But I just don't really think it can get better going forward. Last year when you look at the situation he was in, pass heavy team, great pocket passing quarterback who's a kingmaker when it comes to his fantasy receivers, putrid defense, so the team had to throw the ball a lot. About to mention their other star receiver, Miss significant time, was kind of hobbled even when he was playing. So it sort of

forced Pickens to be the one A in this offense. And he stepped up and he played great and he is great. And I'm not denying that for a second. It's just I have deep fears that he is going to get franchise tagged and then traded to some shitty team and he's going to come back to Earth. And we kind of, I mean, we've already seen it his first three years in the league when he was with Pittsburgh. Piss poor quarterback play, a totally dysfunctional offense. And I'm not saying like he'll go to the equivalent of Pittsburgh. It might be somewhere in between that and what Dallas was for him.

But either way, his value is going to go down. It's not like, Mitch, do you think George Pickens got significantly better? or his fourth year in the league. No, because I don't think the talent was ever the question with George Pickens when you watched him in Pittsburgh. No, exactly. Like, we, like I've heard, I think the Ringer podcast is like made the joke, like, if the field was like two yards wider on every side, he'd have the most spectacular highlight

reel with Pittsburgh. He's just quarterback strong and had to bounce on him. Like, we've always known he's good. He just had a great situation. So, yeah, he could go somewhere worse. He could stay in Dallas. would be pretty surprised if they extend him. But even if they do, I don't think he can have a top five finish again like he did last year. Just all things considered like the defense is getting better and CD should be hopefully healthy for a full season. So right now, he's 24 years old coming off this elite great season. He's so fun to root for. And that's kind of why he's a great candidate to trade now. Like you have a league mate who would probably kill to have. George Pickens. Like, they are so excited to pay you a King's ransom to make him the number one

receiver on their dynasty team. That's when you want to trade him. He's right now fantasy pros consensus rankings, 10th highest ranked receiver for Dynasty Leagues. If you look at the guys ahead of them, I think they all have a much safer floor. Not necessarily that they all have a higher ceiling or a significantly higher ceiling, but the floor, I just feel so much better about their situations where there's ambiguity with Pickens, which sometimes ambiguity is great, but sometimes it's scary when you're talking about somebody as highly ranked as George Pickens. So this is a sell now opportunity in my eyes. Yeah, two things there. To steal a phrase that you love to say, I think we are valuing him much closer to his ceiling than his floor. And I think that he's one of those guys that has a

lot of cachet with the name value right now. And we all saw the fireworks and how awesome that was in Dallas. And like you said, it's, we've been talking about it for two years now that it is the like best environment possible for fantasy wide receivers. And he thrived. And of course he did. And now the question is, like, will he do it again? We're pricing him almost as we're like guaranteeing that he'll come within a few spots of what he did. And for me, like, if you have other holes in your lineup, or even if you just want to like kick the can down the road, get some picks, like get a guy that feels a little safer this year, I think that there's a lot more value in that than holding on a George Pickens and hoping he repeats It's what he just did.

Yeah, this is the one guy on my list you can absolutely get a King's Ransom for. Yes. Someone will pay up huge to get a 24-year-old receiver they view as elite for, you know, years and years to come. I think this is the perfect time to do it right now, too, while he's still technically with the Cowboys. 100%. For my next pick, this is about to get clipped out as like the beginning of a hype video in

2027. We just talked about a guy who truly broke out last year and now I'm going to talk about guy who will never break out. And that's Marvin Harrison Jr. It's, it's Jover. It's never been more Jover. I personally, me, I wanted this to work out so badly in Arizona. Him and our dynasty by Kyler Murray, I wanted this to work out. But Mello, I'm going to take your Marv stat from one of our first episodes in our hindsight's 2025 segment. Despite injuries playing a role and he only played in 12 games, he averaged 3.4 receptions per game and 50.7 yards per game. And he also only scored four times on the year last year. Michael Wilson, we saw him ascending. There's already

chatter out of Arizona that they're planning on making Michael Wilson a bigger centerpiece. I'm also skeptical about that. So like, let's not even talk about that. But you start hearing rumblings of that and it makes you nervous for a guy that already hasn't been productive in Marvin Harrison and isn't getting the targets. Now let me give you my stats. He ranked 94th among qualified receivers in PFF's receiving grade and had a drop percentage of on-target passes of 10.9%. That is absolutely outrageous. And top five for anybody who's wondering, he finished as the wide receiver 49 last season and is being drafted in Dynasty startups as the wide receiver 25. I think this is like an obvious one. And I think there's a ton of managers that are not

going to want to buy Marvin Harrison if you have him. But I do think the odds are there's one or two guys in your league that are still caught up in the name. They're still caught up in the draft capital. They know he's Marvin Harrison's son. And they will give you, at the very least, more than Marvin Harrison Jr. is worth right now. My general philosophy is don't trade players at the lowest they've ever been worth, which Marv is right now. With that said, I'm with you. I don't, I don't buy the talent. I don't. Don't catch a falling knife here. Yeah, that's kind of how I feel.

If you can, and you're right, like, you probably have lead mates and he have Marv that are also just, like, disgusted by him and don't want anything to do with him. But there are people that are still Marv believers. And we know there are because we see where he's being ranked still. Yeah. This might be your last chance to get out. It's not only the stats, it's the eye test.

He doesn't look like he belongs on the field, which is crazy because we talked about him as a generational prospect, not just a good one, a generational prospect, doesn't pass the eye test. I don't have hope from Harvard. I know it sounds bleak. I just don't. I want to circle back to something you just said, because I think that's the perfect pin to put in this is I do think this is the last chance. I think three seasons of trash from him, and like, I don't think you're getting anything for Marvin Harrison Jr. I think that is how long it takes for name value and draft capital to completely get out of people's heads.

And like, you've still got that, like, little glimmer of hope. And I think this is your very last chance to get rid of him this season. Definitely. Even if he does what he did last year or not any worse, it's definitely Jover. And even midseason, even week three or four, if it's been awful, you're done. Like, nobody's going to want him. Yeah. And it doesn't help that we don't know who's going to be starting a quarterback.

Like, this just seems. It just seems really, like, bleak right now. I would be trying to get out of the Marvin Harris. and... Unless Marv puts on another 15 pounds of muscle over the off season, then I'm back in. Then I'm back in. Then he might just be a tight end. Him and Trey McBride in two tight end sets.

He'd probably get more targets that way. Honestly, the way that Ombands runs? Yeah. I would love that. No, I'm fully out on Marv. I think a lot of people will agree with you on that one. I'm just being super contrarian today, and I'm picking another beloved player that everyone... Oh, my God.

What are you doing to us? Yeah, I know. If I wasn't already hated for my... George Piggins pick. I think I'm going to be hated after this one. I'm talking about Cam Scataboo here as somebody I am selling in Dynasty. My main argument, I have a few, but my main argument is the same argument. I'm really consistent. I've made this argument for so many players, and it's the fact that he is a day three running back. And we've talked about this on the show a couple different times, so I won't go super into that again. But just to kind of

summarize my thesis. Day three and undrafted running backs have a long and undeniable and concerning history of flaming out in year two or three, even when they impress as rookies. And Cadaboo, Skataboo was exactly that. He was impressive as a rookie, especially how quickly he was able to get the job. I didn't think he'd be the starter that quickly. I mean, he deserved it. No, yeah, he earned it. He earned the job, took it from Tyrone and Tracy, who by the way, and other day three running back who had an impressive rookie year and lost the job by year too. But I digress. Took the job.

He looked good. But we kind of overreacted a little bit. And I think we're still kind of overreacting because a lot of his production came from touchdown dependency. He had seven touchdowns across his eight games. That doesn't seem that sticky to me, especially like the offense wasn't even very good last year. He just happened to be the one scoring the touchdowns.

Not saying it was all luck. just saying it's not a sticky stat I trust very much. And while his 4.1 yards per carry weren't terrible. I mean, it certainly wasn't great, but wasn't terrible. But just to put in perspective, Tyrone Tracy had 4.2 yards per carry last year, higher than Cam Scadaboo. So I don't think it's fair to act like Skadaboo is a billion times better than Tyrone Tracy. When in reality, Tracy had a higher yards per carry last year.

Yeah. And also, Skadaboo did so much of his damage and his eighth get. eight game sample against the Eagles on Thursday night football. He had 110 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns. I played against him in the league that were both in Mitch. I was crying myself to sleep that night. And also, you want to talk about inflated value, have like an explosion game on a prime time stage against a division rival. Like, yeah, everyone's going to be talking about you. That is a hundred percent the case. I'm glad you said that because yes, that game inflated his numbers, but I think more than anything, it inflated his public perception. Primetime division rival, like you

said defending Super Bowl champions, two big market teams, everybody watching. And he already was like up there with the best of him in terms of aura, like what he did in the college football playoffs. And then just any time you put in front of a camera, it's just like pure unfiltered comedy. That in combination with what he did in that game, like everyone fell in love with Camp Scadaboo. And I can't blame people for doing it. Like he's just such a lovable fun player.

And now all of a sudden he's a top 20 ranked dinosaur. see running back in the fantasy pros consensus rankings and you definitely have leitmates that would kill to just park their asses on the couch and root for him every single Sunday. But like, there are already rumors the Giants are going to address running back this offseason. It's definitely far from a foregone conclusion. They might not. But there are draft rumors, there are free agency rumors. There have been reports that they could be looking at Jeremiah Love in the first round, which that one I have a ton of skepticism before. That seems too rich. But it's been reported and that can't make you feel good if you have him in Dynasty.

But the good news is right now they're just rumblings. It hasn't exploded into this major storyline yet. And everybody is still bullish on Camp Scadaboo. I think now is when you trade him before things do get worse, before the situation does change for the Giants. And by the way, this whole time I haven't even mentioned, he is coming off a gruesome catastrophic injury. Dislocated ankle, tibia fracture, ligament damage.

like disgustingly horrible, unfortunate injury. You feel horrible for him, but you should be concerned if you have him in Dynasty. That is the type of injury that can alter someone's career. So all of that considered right now, he's still being ranked pretty high. I would see what you can get for him because I think it's quite a bit. Yeah.

Cam Scadabo is like America's sweetheart, if America's sweetheart had rabies. There's two things I want to add. I mean, I guess you've kind of hit on this, but with the injury, it's like, Cam Scadabo was like at the peak of what he was doing when he got the injury, which means in everybody's brain we are still holding him up here on this pedestal. The other thing that, and I say that to say, like, we were probably overvaluing him just to begin with.

Another thing to think about is like, maybe Harbaugh will love Scatibo, but like, he was Daibol's guy and we remember Daiball and Dart and Scatibo on the bench, you know, paling it up and whatever. And it's like, we don't know that this new coaching staff, is going to want to use Camp Scadaboo as like with as much usage as that last coaching regime did. So I'm, I'm extremely skeptical of him this year. And like, I'll say in fairness, maybe there's a bias because I was not that big on him coming out as a rookie for what you're saying. The draft capital wasn't there.

And I didn't know how his game would translate. So maybe I have a bias. But like, I do think whether you have a bias or not, you have to admit that he's being valued a little bit higher than he should be right now. Definitely. And there is a, even though I'm personally not in, I'll admit, there's a path he's great. I think for what you can get for him in the trade market right now, but it's worth selling as opposed to waiting and seeing. I agree. What's up, everybody? Sorry to interrupt. I hope you're enjoying the episode. Before we jump into our fourth dynasty player to sell, I just want to mention the reason why the David Montgomery trade isn't talked about at all during this segment is because it got announced after we recorded the episode. obviously drops this player's value even more and can affect how much you can get for them,

but we are still strongly and firmly on the side of selling this player. Hope you enjoy the rest of the video. Let's go from one of the more exciting rookie running backs from last year to one of the least exciting rookie running backs from last year that if my Marvin Harrison Jr. panic rating is like a seven, this one's like a 12. Uh, Woody Marks. If you've been reading the Joe Mixon reports, you know, it doesn't look promising that Joe Mixon will be back with the Texans or potentially. even back in the NFL, but I have been very vocal, no matter who's there in Houston with him, that I do not like Woody Marks' game. And I've also been vocal about loving this Texan's offense, which puts me in a weird spot.

But I think you should absolutely be able to find a manager willing to take a shot on a 25-year-old running back with a chance to lead the backfield on a probable playoff team. And what I say to that is let them. Woody Marks averaged 3.6 yards per carry last season, 40th out of 4th,000. 44 qualifying running backs. Of running backs with 70 or more carries, which is like a bottom of the barrel requirement, Woody Marks ranked 51st in PFF's overall run grade and 52nd in yards per contact after, or yards after contact per attempt, excuse me.

Just a rounder reception and a half a game. So if those running stats scared you, there's also no receiving game there at all. We talked about day three running backs. He was a fourth round pick. The draft capital is not there. The investment is not there. And I would be shocked if he gets the lion's share of the carries next season in Houston. And even if he does, I don't want him anyways.

Mitch, sometimes we're aligned, maybe not exactly. Sometimes we're not aligned. Right now, I am not drinking any Kool-Aid the way I'm drinking that Woody Marks will suck Kool-Aid. Like, you're pouring me a tall glass and I'm chugging it down. I have no interest in Woody Marks. We talked about it a little bit on the podcast before. I actually almost put him on my list and then I was like, I feel like I've been mean to Woody.

But I'm glad you're mean to Woody because he deserves it. I can't stop. I feel bad too. He's probably a really nice guy and doesn't deserve to be bullied. But from a fantasy football perspective, our obligation here is to talk about how good we think he'll be or how bad we think he'll be. I think right now he is the perfect example of another day three running back who won the job as a rookie and impressive.

to a certain extent. But he actually, when you look at the numbers that you just laid out, he kind of sucks and they'll probably address the running back position even if they don't. You don't really want what he gave you last year. I love Nick Chubb as in all time. Like, if you look at the entire body of work,

I think Nick Chubb is so phenomenal and one of the better running backs we've seen in the past 20 years. That was not Nick Chubb on the Texans this year. No. That is back of his career, Nick Chubb. Like, Woody Marks did not have a tough depth chart to climb up.

No. And it weirdly made them look better because like the corpse of Nick Chub was out there looking like Shrek trying to run between the tackles. And there were still games where Nick Chub looked better honestly than Woody Marks. Like I digress. I could go on and on about this. But because he's the starter and he's young, we're ranking them kind of high in the dynasty rankings.

And that's why you got to sell them. Sell them now because it will not stay this way. 100%. All right. My last one here. This is somebody I actually have on my dynasty team. do not send this podcast to my league mates because I want to try to swindle them. I am going to talk about Christian Watson as somebody.

I am actively in real life trying to sell in the Dynasty League. The way you've been going, I was expecting you say like Jackson Smith and Jigba. Yeah, I should have, I should just been like, this is why right now in your dynasty league, you should trade Pukkah. No, of course. Sell high. Yeah, so high. No, it's Christian Watson for me.

Actually, I believe this is the time to sell high. he was the wide receiver 9 from weeks 8 to 17 and half point PPR. The wide receiver 9, he won people fantasy championships. He was phenomenal. He established himself as the true wide receiver 1 in Green Bay. Also, going forward, Romeo Dobbs will likely be signing elsewhere. He's a free agent. I don't think he'll be back in Green Bay.

Feels like things are getting even better, right? I don't know. I'm not very convinced of that. I'm actually very skeptical of that. And I think the biggest reason is we've been here before. We've seen Christian Watson have these high points in his career. Remember, after his rookie year, we were ranking him like top 15 borderline top 10 in the dynasty consensus rankings for wide receivers. That clearly did not come to fruition.

It's been ups and downs, his whole career, peaks and valleys, largely because of injuries to a large extent. But right now, it feels like another peak to me. He's ascended again to this other peak before a valley. That is the perfect time to trade. Keep in mind, Matt LaFleur refuses to have a true number one. As long as he is the coach of Green Bay, they will not have an alpha receiver. There are so many other guys involved. Jaden Reed was significant time last year with the broken collarbone injury.

We've seen him have a ton of peaks in valleys as well. Like two years ago, we were ranking Jaden Reed way ahead of Christian Watson. And then, of course, he's had ups and downs. Matthew Golden was a first round pick by this very regime. team less than a year ago. Obviously super disappointing rookie year, but we finally saw flashes. We saw the potential down the stretch, particularly in that wildcard loss to Chicago, where he looked absolutely sensational. Datavian Wix will continue to get involved. Savian Williams, their other guy who's young, will continue to get involved. And all this, not to mention, that Kristen Watson's

breakout last year really paralleled the absence of Tucker Kraft. Tucker Kraft. Tucker Craft, I think they played like one, maybe two games together. and Kraft is the real alpha of the offense, at least in the passing game. When he's there, he's going to take away targets from all of these receivers. Christian Watson cannot continue to get the volume. Sure, he'll still maybe have some big plays, but he's not going to be the true number one weapon. It'll be Tucker Kraft.

He's currently ranked as Fantasy Pro's 33rd highest ranked dynasty receiver. Jordan Reed is 49. Matthew Golden is 52. I don't really view all those guys very differently. Like, I think we should be ranking them like back to back to back. Watson's the most expensive. He's at this peak. Trade him now. You have a league mate who remembers how he finished down the stretch. That's the Christian Watson they want. I don't think it's the Christian Watson they're going to get. Move him now. I think Christian Watson, to rank it is in 2026. Bestball is up here. Redraft and Dynasty to me is where I want to get rid of him the most. I think there's some value in best ball if you're building out Jordan loves stacks. I think in redraft, if you're just hoping he repeats it. Like in general, I think you make such a great point about Matt LaFour. It's kind of similar to the Denver situation

where it's like, I'm not going to take a shot that any guy is going to become the wide receiver one because the answer is probably that nobody will. And then the other part that I loved is Tucker Kraft's injury lined up almost perfectly with Christian Watson, like taking off. And Tucker Kraft is going to demand a whole lot of targets when he gets back because he's Tucker Kraft and he's unbelievable. And he has an insane report with Jordan Love.

And so I think this is a phenomenal. phenomenal call. And it's one of those guys that is like so perfect because he got red hot at the most pivotal time with the most amount of eyes on him. Yep. That's the exact type of guy you should be trying to trade. I will be actively doing that as I mentioned. I love it. I'm going to go on to a last one. This one's a little interesting because I don't think I'm convincing too many people, but I do think there's some people that I probably do need to convince that I think from a fantasy football's perspective, it's over for Travis Hunter. This is kind of entirely a name value conversation because I'm assuming you and your

leaguemates have heard the news that Hunter is not expected to play a whole lot of wide receiver this season, primary cornerback mixing in in some packages on the offense. This could always change, but I'm not just going to like take the chance on that and stash him because like his price tag's still decently high right now. He's the wide receiver 40 in Dynasty startup drafts. I already talked about last episode how much I love Parker. Washington to ascend. The team still has Jacoby Myers, who was phenomenal and consistent last year, and frankly, gets a lot of targets. And then we'll see what happens with Brian Thomas Jr.

But if he's there, like, that is another guy that they're going to have to feed the ball to. And I don't see any reason why Liam Cohen would want to rush Travis Hunter back to an even remotely full-time role in this offense when there's already too many mouths to feed. That being said, there's got to be some managers in your league who were so excited about the kind of Shohei Otani-esque, like, extremely unique potential of Travis Hunter. And I think similar to Marvin Harrison Jr., this is like your last chance between now and training camp to move him while they're still kind of in that frenzy. And before they, like, really start thinking about like how they're constructing their team for

2026. I mentioned wide receiver 40 is where he's being valued right now. Some guys that are near him, if you can go out and get a Quentin Johnston, you've talked so much about how much you love this Chargers offense with Mike McDaniel coming and Justin Herbert continuing to progress with Harbaugh, or Jaden Higgins, who I'm really excited about, and I think that Houston passing offense is better than people think. There's a few guys in that tier that if you could go one for one, I would absolutely do it. And if you can get a decent draft pick for Travis Hunter, I'd probably do that too. When you first said Travis Hunter, I was like, I don't know, because it feels like he's out

is low and, you know, you had to pay so much for him last year in rookie drafts. and maybe at this point you just hold on and hope because everyone's going to be turned off by the news that he'll probably play almost entirely defense. But then you mentioned that wide receiver 40 ranking and you're right. If that is still how some people are valuing him, that is a crazy overpricing to me.

He... Wait, can I actually give you a one-to-one? Sorry, not to interrupt you, but he's the wide receiver 40 right now in Dynasty and the wide receiver 56 is Parker Washington. the guy who got 114 targets in that exact same offense that is guaranteed a role in it. And also, he's 23 years old and Travis Hunter is 22. So, like, you can get the same, like, age, young guy in that offense without paying, like, up to that price.

Yeah. Like, we're ranking who was actually statistically the Jaguars number one receiver last year, who's a year older, well behind a guy who's going to to play freaking cornerback. What are we doing? If that's where we're ranking him, I can't see it getting higher, barring the news changing, barring like Liam Cohen and the Jags coming out and saying like, no, no, no, he'll still be a big part of the offense. And even then, I just don't trust it.

Like, I do not trust this at all. I think sometimes you got to admit defeat, admit you and you or admit when you were wrong. If you spent, you know, the second, third, fourth pick on him last year in your rookie draft, I think you got to accept defeat. and try to see what you can get for him. Hopefully there's a manager out there that's still bullish on him, still ranks him like as the 40th best dynasty receiver. Move him now.

I think there's a lot of people who think about how much Jacksonville gave up to draft Travis Hunter and because of that I've convinced themselves. Like, well, of course they have to make him play wide receiver because you don't spend all that for a guy to just play corner. But my flip side of that is they gave up so much for Travis Hunter. Are they going to risk continuing to put him out on both sides of the ball and get him hurt again and then you have nothing. I think they're committed to having him play corner,

having him pop in there for certain packages in wide receiver sets, but like, I don't see it. I think there are valuable guys you can grab in that range. Wide receiver 40 doesn't sound like that high of a price, but like that's somewhat valuable for a guy that could genuinely have zero value in fantasy next year. Absolutely.

It corners his more natural position. It's not the position that got him hurt last year. And it's a bigger position to me. for the Jags, whereas receiver, they have all the depth we've already talked about so much on this podcast. So, yeah, I, I have, we talked about it being Jover for Marvin Harrison Jr. It's like actually Jover for. Yeah. And I want to be very clear, it is not at all a critique on Travis Hunter's talent. I think Travis Hunter is unbelievable. I just simply don't think he's going to be out playing wide receiver. Agreed. 100%. I think he's a phenomenal football player, but his receiving

career is really what's over here. 100%. That wraps up our six Dynasty Cells for 2026. If we missed anybody, make sure to leave them down below in the comments. And Mello, you got anything left for the people? Nothing for me, brother. All right, we will catch you guys next Monday.
