Dynasty Ups & Downs Plus Rhamondre Draftability 1:05:06

1:05:06

Dynasty fantasy football leagues are funny. We fetishize youth before it ever proves it can play, and discard veterans while still at their peaks! That's why it's our contention that there really is no such thing as a "purely" dynasty conversation: the *current* year in a dynasty league matters, too! So today's show will list players who've seen th…
