FANTASY POINTS 2026 EARLY-BIRD SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE LIVE. GET OUR BEST RATE WE'LL OFFER THE ENTIRE SEASON, 20% OFF! NOW THROUGH SUPER BOWL SUNDAY: https://www.fantasypoints.com/plans#/ Thomas Tipple and Andy Buckler return with another Dynasty Points Market Report, breaking down startup lock draft trends, real trades, and where the dynasty market is drifting out of alignment. The episode opens with lessons from recent startup builds and a controversial trade to acquire Tyler Shough, before pivoting to quarterback pricing chaos—where C.J. Stroud is starting to feel like “this week’s Trevor Lawrence,” and Patrick Mahomes still reigns supreme in dynasty polls despite growing frustration. From there, the guys dig into the rise-and-cool-off arc of Oronde Gadsden, the real AD Mitchell debate, and why Colston Loveland’s underlying usage keeps him firmly on the radar. BUY: 🔥 Saquon Barkley is a rare veteran still capable of tilting leagues 📈 AD Mitchell i,f the market still doubts the profile 📊 Colston Loveland before his role fully stabilizes SELL / MONITOR: 📉 Oronde Gadsden if managers are still pricing him like a breakout star ⚠️ C.J. Stroud at current cost if you’re paying elite QB prices 🧠 Patrick Mahomes: hold unless someone pays peak value If you’re navigating startup drafts, reassessing QB tiers, or looking to exploit where usage and perception no longer match, this Market Report is built to keep you ahead of the curve.
