Rich, Matt, and Garret bring their first regular mailbag episode to the main podcast feed, and the Nerd Herd questions deliver spicy debates on every dynasty topic imaginable. The crew kicks off with underrated music recommendations before diving into whether aging veterans like AJ Brown, Jaylen Waddle, and Dak Prescott are worth a late 2027 first-round pick for rebuilding teams. Rich drops the hammer: anyone 27 years or older right now should be moved for future draft capital before the 2027 class becomes completely untouchable.

C.J. Stroud Concerns and Daniel Jones Upside
The most controversial take surfaces when Garret reveals he ranks both Sam Darnold and Daniel Jones ahead of C.J. Stroud in dynasty, citing Daniel Jones’s 18.0 points per game versus Stroud’s 15.5 this past season. The crew debates whether Jones’s Achilles recovery and the Colts trading two first-round picks for him creates a buying opportunity at depressed prices. Meanwhile, the quarterback rankings segment produces fireworks as all three hosts agree Drake Maye sits alone at the top, but Garret and Matt lean toward Caleb Williams over Jayden Daniels due to injury concerns despite Daniels finishing as fantasy’s QB7 on a points per game basis. Rich emphasizes the 2028 draft class as the pivot target for rebuilders unable to acquire 2027 picks.
