Rich, Garret, and Matt reveal the statistical thresholds that separate dynasty hits from busts across all four positions. Garret breaks down years of historical data to show exactly which benchmarks predict long term success, and the numbers are shockingly consistent. Quarterbacks who hit 17 points per game in their first two seasons become franchise cornerstones 67% of the time, while running backs without 30 receptions in their first two years have under a 5% success rate. The data gets even more brutal for wide receivers.

Travis Hunter and Matthew Golden in Serious Trouble
First round wide receivers who fail to reach 500 yards as rookies almost never recover, with only four outliers since 2010. Travis Hunter managed just 300 yards with injury issues, while Matthew Golden didn’t reach the mark either despite staying healthy all season. The crew debates whether to sell now for 70 cents on the dollar before values crater completely. Meanwhile, Jaxson Dart already cleared the 17 PPG quarterback threshold at 17.3, while Cam Ward fell short at 11 despite second half improvements. Rookie tight ends Tyler Warren and Harold Fannin both finished top six, joining the elite club that includes only Kelce, Kittle, and Gronkowski. The data suggests these aren’t just guidelines but predictive indicators dynasty managers should treat as gospel when making trades.
