With the NFL Draft just a month away, Garret Price and Andrew Mott are back on the Dynasty Nerds Podcast to break down the players carrying the most risk heading into draft season. Nobody on this list is dead in the water, but all of them could see their dynasty value shift dramatically depending on what happens over the next few weeks.

Running Backs and Receivers on Thin Ice
Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason headline the risky running back conversation, with Minnesota’s unsettled front office and draft capital pointing toward potential reinforcements in the backfield. Rookie names like Jadarian Price, Kayron Allen, and Emmett Johnson could all find their way to Minnesota and steal touches. In Kansas City, Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy are both vulnerable with the Chiefs holding a top-ten pick in both the first and second round and a clear need for a true pass-catching weapon alongside Patrick Mahomes. Over in Arizona, Tyler Allgeier enters a crowded backfield with an uncertain quarterback situation and the very real possibility the Cardinals add a running back in the draft, making him a prime sell candidate at current value.
Quarterback and Wide Receiver Watch
Geno Smith heads back to the Jets as nothing more than a bridge quarterback, with Ty Simpson or another young signal-caller likely to take over before the season is out. Ricky Pearsall in San Francisco gets a longer leash with Mike Evans and Christian Kirk added around him, but picks 27 and 58 put the 49ers squarely in range for receivers like Omar Cooper or KC Concepcion who would immediately threaten his long-term role. Finally, Malik Nabers carries the most risk of the bunch, with an injury recovery running behind schedule, a new receiver potentially coming at pick five, and an ADP of ten overall that prices in a best-case scenario the offseason has not supported. Stay current on all of these players with the Dynasty Rankings as the draft picture continues to develop.
