8 Players That Could Bust At ADP! | Dynasty Fantasy Football Podcast Ep. 832
5/18/202636 min
Garret and Andrew fire up a fast paced round of Booming Bench Bust, putting dynasty favorites into three buckets and forcing clear takes instead of the usual keep trade cut hedging. Garret frames it as a gut check game, and Andrew leans into ceiling and situation, even when it means making uncomfortable calls on big names. Listen to This Episode: Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube The show opens with a tricky wide receiver trio where Andrew crowns George Pickens as the boom, slots Garrett Wilson as the bench, and tags Chris Olave as the bust based on target competition. Garret counters by calling Garrett Wilson his boom and pushing Pickens into bust territory due to volatility and situational risk. At quarterback, both agree Joe Burrow carries the biggest boom profile, but they split on the bench bust debate between Patrick Mahomes and Justin Herbert, with Garret worried about Herbert’s volume under Harbaugh. At running back, both side with Kenneth Walker as the boom over Breece Hall and Quinshon Judkins, then align again on a second trio by making Javonte Williams the boom and fading Josh Jacobs. Tight end debate follows, with both landing on Sam LaPorta as the bust, while Garret pushes Kyle Pitts as his boom. The episode closes with a fun QB2 swing where Andrew bets on Ty Simpson as the long play boom, while Garret plants a flag on Daniel Jones as a potential career resurgence.

I'm excited too, 'cause today we're playing a little game, and it's called Boomin' Bench Bust. If you've been with us for a while, you'll know the game, but if not, uh, let me explain it real quick. Very similar to the concept of Keep, Trade, Cut, and people have probably all played Keep, Trade, Cut before. But I have two major issues with Keep, Trade, Cut. One, most of the guys typically are like, "Well, I wouldn't cut, I wouldn't cut one of these guys. They're all pretty good. Why would I cut one of these guys?" Uh, so I, I like Bust better. Who do you think is, is gonna disappoint? Uh, and then I personally, you know, it-- I think once you're smart, you're like, "Okay, trade. I'm just always gonna trade the player with the highest value regardless of how I feel about him." Just always trading that guy. So it becomes very gimmicky, whereas I, I, I want you to actually put something out there, like, "I actually think this guy's the best. I think this guy, oh, I'm feeling a little iffy on him. I feel better on my bench. I think this guy is going to stink it up." Now, sometimes we might feel like all three players are booms or all three players are busts, but we've gotta make the arguments to fit the game. So, uh, that, that's what makes this a little more challenging. Now, Andrew did not get to see any of these ahead of time, so he is going straight off the dome, which can be tricky. Uh, he's going straight off the dome to try to answer these. We'll see how many we get. I have, I have a, f- uh quite
