Overall Dynasty Team Assessment:
This roster features a healthy mix of proven veterans, elite positional anchors, and intriguing young upside. Built around elite quarterback play and some strong running backs, this team is structured to compete in the short term with a win-now focus. However, draft capital and those same aging veterans are a major concern for the long-term ability of this team to consistently contend.
Strengths:
Quarterback Stability:
Patrick Mahomes remains a top-tier fantasy QB, with Baker Mayfield offering solid upside as a strong QB2. In a 1QB league like this, this owner has a lot of safety and optionality at the QB position. Having two elite QBs is a good thing, and with both having different bye weeks, this team should be in good shape heading into 2025.
Elite Running Backs:
Christian McCaffrey, Jonathan Taylor, and Joe Mixon form a high-ceiling veteran RB core. Chuba Hubbard, Jerome Ford, and rookie Isaac Guerendo provide solid depth. This unit has a good balance of depth and starters, thus giving this multiple starting options. Additionally, with McCaffrey, Ford, and Hubbard’s roles as pass-catching backs (not to mention two of them as current starters for their respective NFL franchises), that should help this team score major points every week in this style of league.
High-End Receiving Anchors & Depth:
Puka Nacua is an elite starter, and Jayden Reed is trending up and could be a long-term WR2/3 with spike-week upside even with the presence of rookie Matthew Golden. Tee Higgins is a very good #3 option, and many fantasy evaluators are high on Mooney this year as well. Throw in a solid depth and bye-week option in DeMario Douglas, and this squad has a solid foundation on which to build. Also, don't forget about veteran Tyreek Hill, who adds a bit of intrigue here and could be a wildcard option for this squad. All-in-all, a very solid group.
Tight End Production:
George Kittle remains a top-5 option when healthy. Assuming Kittle is able to remain on the field the entire year, this team is looking at possible elite fantasy numbers from this position.
Weaknesses:
Aging Stars:
Key contributors like Tyreek Hill, Christian McCaffrey, Joe Mixon, and George Kittle are nearing the twilight of their peak fantasy value. Declines or injuries could rapidly impact this win-now status. The owner of this team may want to entertain the idea of potentially trading 1-2 of them now while they still have some solid value before the beginning of this season. Tier down trades of going from a player like Hill to a 2nd or 3rd year WR plus potential draft picks would put them in a much better long-term position, while simultaneously keeping a potential window of contention open.
Limited Draft Capital:
Only two 3rd-round rookie picks (3.5 & 3.8) in the upcoming draft means little opportunity to inject new high-upside youth into the roster.
Win-Now vs. Rebuild Status:
Status: WIN-NOW
This team is well-positioned to make a push in 2025. With elite production at just about every position as well as solid WR depth, the roster has the foundation to outscore most teams weekly. However, the competitive window could close quickly, depending on both the health and player regression of the aging vets.
Overall Direction & Recommendations:
Push for the playoffs in 2025:
With Mahomes, McCaffrey, Taylor, Hill, and Kittle, you have a championship-caliber core (albeit an aging one). Try to prioritize moves that keep the younger veterans on the roster and the starting lineup strong while simultaneously balancing both depth (especially at TE and RB) with future draft capital. If this team can trade 1-2 of those older vets for slightly lower-tier players while adding on future picks, a move like that would set them up nicely heading into the future while simultaneously keeping the competitive window open past 2025.
Upgrade WR Depth: Look to package fringe WRs (e.g., Malik Washington or Mike Williams) for a more reliable weekly WR5/6. Target steady producers like Jakobi Meyers on the cheap. They can also pivot to a solid depth option like Alec Pierce or Michael Wilson as well.
Sell Aging Assets at Peak:
If this team starts at 2–4 or worse, then definitely pivot by shopping Mixon, McCaffrey, Hill, or Kittle to contenders. They still carry strong name value and could return young players and/or 2026 draft picks. This is when it would be a good time to easily tier down to acquiring multiple assets that would help the team both now and in the future.
Monitor Emerging RBs:
Guerendo and Sean Tucker are worth keeping & stashing at the moment. Any opportunity spike could boost the future RB succession plan. Also, Hubbard and Ford (even though he now has competition in Cleveland) are both worth holding onto at the moment due to their pass-catching abilities and the starting role for Hubbard.
Final Verdict: Solid Contender
This is a well-built roster that should be ready to make a run in 2025. Make smart win-now moves, but stay flexible in case the season doesn’t break in a positive way.
On a scale of 1-10, with 1 unlikely to win a game all year and 10 being a championship lock, I’m giving this team a 7. The lineup is solid, and with good pieces to be better than a .500 record, should still be in a competitive window. However, they will likely need to stay vigilant in case the need to pivot to a rebuild quickly arises. While good, many of the current key contributors are aging veterans who will need to be jettisoned from the roster quickly for young players (2nd or 3rd year) and draft picks should the team get off to a 2-4 start or worse.
Additionally, attempting to trade the two 3rd-round picks (especially the 3.8 for a 2026 3rd-round pick) should improve the draft position for the future since the odds of that pick in 2026 being greater than 3.8 are high, and it would be a good idea if the squad can pull it off. Alternatively, they could also pivot to attempting to deal both 3rds for three future 3rds. Either way, the best time to attempt to make these deals is during the rookie draft, when rookie fever is at an all-time high.
If they have to use one of the picks to select a player, I would go with the 3.5, since it could be potentially harder to trade (tough to move it for a future 3rd, but it might not be high enough for a future 2nd). However, they can still get a player with a decent chance of hitting for 2025, ideally at the TE, RB, or WR position, whereas with the 3.8, they're starting to get to that point in the draft where potential starting options could become an issue. This can be especially true in a 4-round rookie draft such as this one.
I would also look for opportunities to add additional draft capital via trades of many of the vets following ASL Founder Leonard LaPadula’s formula for winning your dynasty league, found here.
