2025 Taxi Squads (and future draft pick trade tracker)



Taxi squad keepers are first come, first serve. Basically, you are reserving a rookie or second year player for your team for next year, without them counting against your roster limit. Even if someone picks up your player off waivers and finishes the year with the player on their team, that player is still yours when it comes to selecting your keepers next year. The deadline for your taxi pick is the end of the day on August 31st. If you do not make a selection, I will randomly make one for you. To make a pick, simply message me the name of the first or second year player you want to keep - and they must be a free agent on the yahoo page. I will then update this post after receiving your selection.


UPDATE: FINALIZED* TAXI LIST:


Ned: WR Jalen Coker
TDs or Bust: WR Isaac TeSlaa
BDB: TE Erick All Jr
Teflon Don: RB Brashard Smith

The Rad Dynasty 2025 Season: Draft Recap, Meet Your Competitors, and Trading 101



Year 3 of this dynasty league is underway, so I figured I'd post a little bit about each one of you, because I know some of you have not crossed paths or encountered each other before. Now that the group text has been introduced, hopefully it will spark some conversations amongst the teams, and we can start getting some more offseason wheeling and dealing done. Remember: during the season you can make trades through Yahoo. In the offseason, you can't do it through Yahoo. But you can still make trades. Just reach out to a fellow manager and work out an agreement. Message it to me, and I will update everything from my end. So if for example, BDB wanted to trade his first round pick and one player to Ned for his 3rd round pick and another player, they would just message me the trade and I would make the draft adjustment and player swap manually from my end. Remember: the season never really ends in dynasty. I know I think about my team and what I want to do waaaaayyy more than is healthy for a normal human being. I don't know if you all are like that or not. I know Perry is.

A few things I want to make clear that I am not sure if they've been made clear before: you CAN include FAB in a trade. Why not? Yahoo doesn't let you do it, so just let me know how much you are including and I'll make the adjustment.  Also, FAB carries over from year to year. Each year, you get 100 FAB dollars added to your team. If you didn't use any FAB last year, now you have 200. If you used 50, you now have 150. If you used it all, you now have 100. I made this post last year so everyone should be aware of this, but I am posting it again as a reminder so there are no excuses that anyone "didn't know" this was a rule.

Trades involving draft picks must include an equal number of draft picks for the same season coming back in return. So if I trade my 4th round pick in 2026, I HAVE to get a 2026 pick from the other team back in return. If I trade my 2027 4th, I have to get a 2027 pick back in return. I can't get a pick this season or any other season in return. You can trade draft picks up to 4 drafts in advance. So right now the latest pick I could trade is my 2029 pick. Because the 26, 27, 28, and 29 drafts are the next 4. After the next draft takes place, you can then trade your 2030 pick. It's always the next 4 drafts.

If you have any questions about trading, don't hesitate to message me.

*side note: this is also the final season where there will only be 4 teams making the playoffs. Starting in 2026, 6 teams will make the postseason each year*

OK, now that I'm done talking about trading, I'll move onto the meet and greet and the draft recap. I'll do it team by team.


TDs or Bust 21-9 overall regular season record (.700) 0 titles
Email: pdiddlly2000@yahoo.com
Text: 262-389-9611
Facebook: Perry Dutcher

I know Perry through CapTel, a place I've worked at since 2012. You'll notice a few people in this league are coworkers or former coworkers at CapTel. Perry is the guy who got me into fantasy football to begin with. He is also the one who thinks about dynasty the most (aside from me) and is probably always looking to make a trade. Don't hesitate to reach out to him if you ever have an offer. He's someone who is basically guaranteed to respond and have a dialogue with you. He's also the winningest player in Rad Dynasty history with a .700 regular season winning percentage. Unfortunately, he has no titles to show for it. That looks to change this year, as he has aggressively swung for the fences through trades, and has one of the best rosters in the league. Adding Justin Jefferson makes a trio of Bijan/Gibbs/JJ - and that should be a terrifying thought for the rest of the league. This is perhaps the best 1/2/3 punch we've seen in league history. He also has Drake London, who is no slouch. And he just drafted Omarion Hampton. This team could be good for a long time.

2025 Draft picks:
Rd 1 Omarion Hampton
Rd 2 Jaydon Blue
Rd 3 Jack Bech
Rd 4 Jaylin Noel
Rd 5: Devin Neal

Grade: B. Hampton is a home run pick in the first round, although I was wondering if he'd take Travis Hunter, who could potentially be a cheat code slotted in at DB. The rest of the picks are all fairly good prospects with decent opportunity to earn playing time this year, but no real sure thing picks.



Fergalicious 15-15 overall regular season record (.500) ONE TITLE
Email: michaelhcrisp@gmail.com
Text: 262-302-0845
Facebook: Michael Crisp

Fergalicious is my former coworker Mike. I've known him for a super long time. He is another CapTel person. He's always a threat to win in fantasy. In all the fantasy sports seasons I have commished (basketball and football) he has only ever NOT won one time. Once. That was the initial season of The Rad Dynasty when he had a losing record. Otherwise he won season two of the Rad Dynasty, and he is also 4-0 in my NBA league. So in 6 appearances in games I've hosted, he's won 5 of them. It is impressive. He'll look to become the first repeat champion in league history, perhaps solidifying his team as the first real dynasty in this league.


2025 Draft picks:
Rd 1 Cam Skattebo
Rd 2 Darren Waller
Rd 3 Will Lutz
Rd 4: Josh Blackwell
Rd 5: Sam Hubbard 

Grade: D+. This was an auto draft so hopefully Mike doesn't take offense to my D+ grade. Skattebo was the only real good pick that was made. That's why this gets a D+ and not a D. I'm not sure I'd waste a second rounder on a TE who is always injured and just came out of retirement. The rest of the picks are IDP and a kicker, which is nothing to get excited about. Fergalicious won the title last year despite auto drafting last year as well, so while on the surface this may seem like a bad draft, as long as the core roster plays well this team will be okay.


Teflon Don 15-15 overall regular season record (.500) 0 titles

This is my brother Chris. We've only started playing fantasy football together since 2023 (Rad Dynasty season one). Chris is super competitive and I am sure he is disappointed he has missed the playoffs in each of the first two seasons. But his team is looking good going into next year. He is 0-7 combined against me and my uncle Peter, and then 15-8 against the rest of the league. So he has always been really close to breaking out. Luckily he nailed it in the draft last year, taking Nabers, Worthy, Tracy, and Jayden Daniels. The future is looking great for this team.

2025 Draft picks:
Rd 1 Kaleb Johnson
Rd 2 Bhayshul Tuten
Rd 3 Ricky Pearsall
Rd 4 Evan McPherson
Rd 5 Pat Bryant

Grade: B-. Yahoo gave Chris an F but I don't think that is accurate at all. They only give him an F because he left 2 IDP spots blank after the draft, and now they think he's going to be a super low scoring team with 2 empty roster spots. I'm sure he'll fix that soon. Anyway, Kaleb is a great first rounder and I am very high on him. Tuten is a speed guy and could be boom or bust in Jacksonville. Pearsall is a steal in the 3rd round, as he was a 2024 first rounder in a lot of dynasty leagues. Taking a kicker fills a need, and Pat Bryant has been compared to Michael Thomas by the Broncos coach.

Thank you Scotty for stepping in and taking over this team from John Olsen, who was a terrible manager. It will take a lot to turn this team around, but if anyone can do it, it is you. Scotty is another CapTel person, and one of the nicest individuals I met during my time with the company. He is also a giant threat to win any fantasy football league he is in, so the managerial switch should help make this league a lot more competitive all of a sudden. He had a shell of a decent team coming into the draft, and he had a good draft. This team can turn its fortunes around. It may be a building process and it could take a season for these rookies to grow into their roles, but this team seems to be in good hands.

2025 Draft picks:
Rd 1 RJ Harvey
Rd 2 Matthew Golden
Rd 3 Dylan Sampson
Rd 4 Kyle Williams
Rd 5 Hollywood Brown

Grade: B+. This was a pretty excellent draft, as all of this team's top 4 picks are players I liked throughout the draft process. Although I think Harvey was a reach at 1.03, he could flourish in Denver. Golden could be the guy in GB. Dylan Sampson has opportunity in Cleveland. And Kyle Williams could be Drake Maye's #1 receiver in New England. I like it.



My Team 11-19 overall record (.367) 0 titles

This is my uncle Peter. Just like with my brother, we've only been playing fantasy together since the initial season of this league. I'm sure his winning percentage is not exactly what he'd hoped it would be, but he's had a lot of other things to worry about the last two years aside from this team. I don't feel like we've gotten 100% Peter yet. Maybe this will be the turnaround season. Before the draft, he trimmed his roster down to 15 and said he is looking to do a rebuild, so I am excited to see where things go from here. His team went on a surprisingly decent run last year, and that was with minimal effort being put into things. I'm very interested to see what 100% Peter will bring. He comes in with solid QBs with Baker and Goff. Probably the best TE group in the entire league with Kittle and Bowers. His RBs and WRs are pretty decent, too.

2025 Draft picks:
Rd 1 Jordan Mason
Rd 2 Quinshon Judkins
Rd 3 Jaylen Wright
Rd 4 Zamir White
Rd 5 Justice Hill
Rd 6 Sam Darnold
Rd 7 Robert Spillane
Rd 8 Micah McFadden
Rd 9 Brandon Jones
Rd 10 Jonathan Greenard

Grade: C. Apparently My Team was looking at data for the 2024 season when making his draft picks this year and drafted like it was a season ago, haha. I was wondering why he took Zamir White so high. It could be worse, I suppose. Jordan Mason could be vying with Aaron Jones for lead back in MN. Judkins was a dynasty first rounder until his legal trouble. Wright could be something, especially if Achane ever gets hurt. Darnold is a good QB to have on your roster in case of emergency. The rest of the picks like Justice Hill and the IDPs are hard to get excited about.


TBone's Terrific Team 8-22 (.267) 0 titles
Email: teschmitty2@yahoo.com
Text: 262-757-5491
Facebook: Tim Schmidt

This is my wife's cousin's husband Tim, or Timmy as we call him. When I started this league I just knew I had to have him in it, as he is the biggest sports fanatic I know. Unfortunately it has not translated into wins. He has the worst record in the young history of this league. Just a .267 winning percentage through two seasons. Despite this, the team started out 4-1 last year before going on a 10 game losing streak to end the season. There are some really good pieces on this team. It is just a matter of how invested Timmy is in turning things around. I traded him a package of young and promising players in the offseason in exchange for his first round pick, and he later dropped almost all of these players (the only player he kept was Trevor Lawrence). I'm not sure why he did that. Plus the draft went poorly for him too. I could see this team finishing in last this year.

2025 Draft picks:
Rd 2 Jake Bates
Rd 3 Theo Johnson
Rd 3 Juanyeh Thomas 
Rd 4 Roschon Johnson
Rd 5 Tyler Allgeier

Grade: F. Almost every pick here is bad. Theo Johnson is the only one that I would consider a decent or an okay pick. He could be good if he stays healthy in NY. The rest of the picks do nothing to help this team, which was 4-11 last year. They could regress this season. Might they even go winless?

Facebook: Sean Chazin

I've known Sean for a super long time. We met online when I was casting players for a Game of Thrones online role playing game. He randomly responded to one of my messages and agreed to play as Bran Stark. This must have been what, 12 or 13 years ago? We've been friends online ever since. His team has been a formidable presence through two years in the league. He's tied for the second best winning percentage in league history, and has made the playoffs in one of two seasons. In fact, if he had remembered to swap out an injured player in the 2023 post season he would have won that matchup, and gone on to win the title. His team looks good as ever this year. I do have to question trading away Justin Jefferson, although he did get LaPorta, Flowers, and two future firsts out of it. I guess it is a move where we'll have to wait and see if it pans out.

2025 Draft picks:
Rd 1 Tet McMillan
Rd 2 Cam Ward
Rd 3 Luther Burden
Rd 4 Marshawn Lloyd
Rd 5 Malachi Starks

Grade: B+. This draft addressed a need at QB. It will really look like a good move if Cam Ward hits. Tet McMillan is my WR#1 in this draft class, so I like this pick. I was going to take Malachi Starks myself if he'd fallen to me, but this team took him right before me. I'm not sure about his other two picks - they are more dart throws in my opinion. But they could be something, particularly Burden.


ned's rollers 19-11 (.633) ONE TITLE

Survivor Sucks ID: nedloh3

I've been playing in leagues with Ned for several years now. Every year, I circle my matchups with him because I always know it is going to be a major battle. Ned may be the single best fantasy football player I've matched up against. He has so many championship wins. In fact, he won year one in this league, but then had a rare down 2024 season. But even having a down season, he still finished with a winning record. If there is anything you can count on, it will be on Ned being a force yet again in this league. He's got a pretty good roster going into next season. That said, although I know his team will be solid, I think Ned is one trade or one home run draft selection away from being a true title contender.

2025 Draft picks:
Rd 1 Tyler Warren
Rd 2 Dont'e Thornton
Rd 3 Jalen Carter
Rd 4 Jessie Bates
Rd 5 Jake Elliott
Rd 6 Diontae Johnson

Grade: B-. I love the pick of Tyler Warren in the first round. I was hoping he'd fall to me. Thornton may have been a reach in the second round, but he's been gaining a lot of steam lately. If you've got a guy you believe in, go get him. The rest of his draft is mainly just filling in needs on defense and at kicker. Tyler Warren definitely makes this a winning draft. If Thornton hits, this draft looks a lot better in retrospect.



Bluth Company 10-20 overall (.333) 0 titles
Email: -hidden-
Text: 507-276-9450
Facbook: Bryan Hulke

This is my friend Bryan, who I have known online for a super long time. My time at Survivor Sucks goes back to the mid 2000s. I don't know when exactly Bryan and I began interacting, but it is possible we've known each other for over 15 years now. He played in the same online series (Vertigo) that Sean played in, but I don't think they ever appeared in the same game. 

Back in the first year of this league, Bluth looked like he had a team that was going to dominate this league. Despite being one of the highest scoring teams in the league, he gave up by far the most points and missed the playoffs. Then in year 2, the wheels completely fell off. Trading away Josh Allen for a pick that turned into Michael Mayer was a questionable move, especially considering how poorly CJ Stroud filled in for Allen last year. Bluth went from A+ production to F production at quarterback overnight, and I don't think anyone could have predicted that because everyone thought Stroud was going to be good. And then CMC missed so much time. Everything went wrong for Bluth last year. Everyone was always injured. But of all the teams at the bottom of last year's standings, this is the one that I could easily see turning things around the most. He acquired Nix in a trade, so his QB woes should instantly be solved. He took Jeanty, and then if CMC is healthy that is a great RB combo. Ladd and Tee Higgins at WR. Solid TEs. Imagine if his draft picks hit? Huge dark horse team next season.

2025 Draft picks:
Rd 1 Ashton Jeanty
Rd 2 Elijah Arroyo
Rd 3 Jayden Higgins
Rd 4 Woody Marks
Rd 5 Kaden Elliss

Grade: B. Jeanty was a no brainer at the 1.01. Arroyo is an interesting pick. Personally, I like him as a prospect. But rookies take a while to develop in dynasty. Higgins is a very good pick. Marks is a question mark, although he does have a great name. Elliss is an underrated IDP. I had him in a dynasty league last year and he was a pretty consistent points scorer.

Survivor Sucks ID: B Debrun

I started playing fantasy with BDB around the same time I started with ned. I know them from the same place, and in fact I used to get the both of them mixed up all the time. But no longer! BDB had a great year one in this league, making the playoffs and losing to eventual champ Ned. But things completely fell apart in year two, despite having record-setting Saquon Barkley on his team. I think BDB's head just wasn't in it last year (he was traveling with a rugby team or something?) so that could explain the dip. Plus he had originally drafted a very old team that may have been good in a redraft league but not dynasty. Hopefully this year his picks hit and he can bounce back. With Saquon, anything is possible, but there isn't much there at WR. Being able to put Travis Hunter in as a defensive player could be a huge positional advantage.

2025 Draft picks:
Rd 1 Travis Hunter
Rd 2 Keon Coleman
Rd 3 Rashod Bateman
Rd 4 Aaron Rodgers
Rd 5 Jaleel McLaughlin

Grade: C+. Travis Hunter was a great pick in the first round. He is projected to score nearly 17 points in week 1, and he can be put in at defensive back. That is a big advantage to have. I guess we'll have to see if Coleman and Bateman can come in and contribute at WR, considering how thin the team was at WR coming into the draft. Rodgers is a good backup to have at QB. Herbert will probably be starting the majority of games for BDB.


Alice in Horns 19-11 (.633) 0 titles
Email: sweetalice4@ymail.com
Text: 858-349-8354
Facebook: Laurel Kay

I'm saving Alice for last because her cell number was added to the group chat last. I met Alice around the same time I met BDB and Ned. Again, I know them all from the same place. Aside from me and Perry, Alice is probably one of the most ambitious fantasy players I've met. She runs several leagues, she is in several leagues, and she is always one of the more competitive matchups on my schedule. Just like I circle my matchups with Ned, I do the same for Alice as well. She is one of the winningest players in Rad Dynasty history, tied for the second highest regular season winning percentage. Alice and I met in the playoffs last year, and I came out on top. Hopefully this is just the start of what will be a great rivalry for many years to come. She's got a fairly loaded team, so I am expecting another great season from her.

2025 Draft picks:
Rd 1 Colston Loveland
Rd 2 Terrance Ferguson
Rd 3 Nick Bosa
Rd 4 TJ Edwards
Rd 5 Cam Bynum

Grade: B. I liked this draft for Alice. She came in needing tight end help, especially considering Kelce may retire soon. Colston Loveland is someone I was looking to draft in the 1st round. Alice took him right before me. Ferguson is another player I was eyeballing, and I was sniped again. As soon as I saw Ferguson was drafted by the Rams I just had a feeling he'd end up on Alice's team. The rest of the draft picks fill out the defense, which is always not the most exciting thing. But if these two TEs hit, Alice is going to be in a great spot because the rest of her team is pretty well stacked.

Done!

Oh wait, I am not done because I did not do myself

Dynastic Dan 18-12 overall (.600)

Facebook: Daniel Radmer

All of you know me so I don't need to do too much introducing. To you, I'm either a family member, a coworker, a former coworker, or a friend (either online or off). I've been really obsessed with dynasty lately, which is one of the reasons I started this league two seasons ago. I like redraft as well, but there is just something about building a team and watching it evolve from year to year that fascinates me. I do a lot of research and listen to a lot of dynasty podcasts. I familiarize myself with a lot of the young guys coming in. Surprisingly, I don't actually watch many games. In fact, I think I only saw two or three full games to completion all last season combined.

Year one of this league, my team was awful. Looking back, I really drafted a bad team. Luckily I was able to make some moves in year two, where I jumped into first place in the regular season and a loss in the title game. Acquiring Josh Allen was big. So was acquiring James Cook and Garrett Wilson. Plus I struck some gold with home grown players like Jamarr Chase, De'Von Achane, Tucker Kraft, and Chase Brown all having huge seasons. Mark Andrews was a great waiver pickup. Thanks BDB for dropping him when he got hurt in 2023. Plus I loaded up on some future studs in the 2024 draft, adding Brian Thomas Jr, Marvin Harrison Jr, and Rome Odunze. So my team is looking good for the future. But looking good doesn't always translate to performing well. I guess we'll see how I do this year.

2025 Draft picks:
Rd 1 TreVeyon Henderson
Rd 1 Emeka Egbuka
Rd 2 Mason Taylor
Rd 3 Tre Harris
Rd 4 Harold Fannin Jr
Rd 6 Budda Baker

Grade: A+++++ (you know I am always going to give myself an A+ right?) I don't know how things could have gone any better for me. I was originally hoping to take a TE that was either Loveland or Warren, but they were both gone when my pick came at 1.10. But that was ok because it meant TreVeyon Henderson had fallen to me. I love this RB as a prospect and a home run hitter, and I never would have expected him to fall to me. I also took Egbuka, who I had listed as my WR2 in this rookie class behind Tet McMillan. The rest of the draft went well too. I addressed my TE room by adding Fanning and Taylor. I don't need Tre Harris at WR but I have always loved him as a prospect. Just had to take him when he was there in front of me. I think my team is super stacked coming into this season and is well set up to be a competitor for years and years to come.



I can't wait to see what is in store for this upcoming season. A lot of teams have already made some moves to improve their roster this offseason. Plus The Killing Fields has a new and awesome manager. And hopefully this year we can see improvement from BDB, TBone, Bluth, and My Team. Year One of the league was super competitive, with a logjam at the top of the standings. Year Two there was not as much parity. There was a lot of separation at the top, with the top 4 teams securing their playoff berths with 2 weeks still left in the season. I'm hoping for more of a return to Year One competitiveness, and I think we're headed in the right direction.

Great draft everyone and good luck this season.

The Rad Dynasty: 2025 Season Preview




Hello group. I haven't written anything here in a long time, so I figured I'd post an update while we are still a little over a month away from the draft. First, I want to welcome the newest member to the league: Scotty! He will be taking over for the previous manager of The Killing Fields: John Olsen. I had to make the tough decision to boot John out of the league after watching his team slowly fall apart. He went from a contender in the inaugural season of The Rad Dynasty in 2023 to a bottom feeder in 2024. He missed the draft, he didn't set his lineups, he didn't make any waiver acquisitions. He left injured people in his lineup. His team set a record for futility when it comes to points scored. It was basically an unattended team all season long, and an easy win for anyone who matched up against him. And we can't have that. So out goes John and in comes Scotty. Scotty is a great guy. I worked with him for several years. He's also a terrific fantasy player. I think I've seen him win 3 times now. He's always a formidable opponent week to week. If anyone can turn around The Killing Fields, it is him. Give him a hand. (BTW, feel free to change the name of the team if you'd like to).

The draft will be on August 3rd. I will be sending individual reminders to everyone as the week approaches. Most teams currently sit with 21 players on their roster. After you made your cuts earlier in the year, I added your Taxi Squad player to your team. So that put a lot of you back over the roster limit. Never fear, you have until August 2nd, the day before the draft, to send me the name of any players you want to cut. If you don't send me anything, I'll just drop your Taxi player to get you down to 20 players. You MUST have a minimum of 15 or a maximum of 20 players on your team heading into the draft.

If you forget who is on your team or how many players you have, click:

This page also lists your draft picks in the upcoming draft, as well as contact information for other members of the league if you are looking to make any trades.

Since we are so close to the draft, I want to make sure everyone knows how this works. Using the Yahoo website instead of the app is highly, and I mean highly recommended. I find the app to be completely useless. To get to the Rad Dynasty Yahoo page, click the following link. Please note: you probably need to be logged into a Yahoo account to see the webpage:


When you get to the home page, you get an overall view of the game site. You can see weekly schedules and standings. At the top of the page you will see this:



This is a very important thing to familiarize yourself with. Click on "My Team" to see your current roster. You won't be able to make any adjustments because the draft has not happened yet. What we want to look at for draft purposes is: Draft. Hover over it and it will bring up a dropdown menu. Click Draft Results. This will give you a visual representation of how the draft will work.

It shows the draft order for the first 5 rounds of the draft. After that, you will see that players will start filling in certain teams draft selections. Those are the keepers from last season. It is essentially putting them on hold and then auto drafting them after you pick 5 players in the live draft to fill out your team. That's assuming you kept 20 players. If you only kept 19 (like Ned) you will have a 6th round pick, and then you team will start auto filling after that. If you only kept 15 (like My Team - my Uncle Pete) then you get a whopping ten picks in the draft before the auto-filling begins. As of right now, he picks in round 6 with Ned, and then picks by himself rounds 7 through 10 while everyone auto drafts around him. So at the end of the draft, he kind of gets his pick of the litter as to who to take. He said he wanted to do a rebuild of his team, so I hope it goes well! 

On this page, you may also notice an option that looks like this:



It defaults to "Round." What you want to do is click on "Team." It will then bring up all the upcoming draft picks for each team. Again, you will notice that your keepers will show up as automatically filled in for each team. This gives a pretty good visual example of how this all works.

Let's use Bluth as an example:




Very straightforward. You can see the picks he has in the upcoming draft. You can see how the rest of his roster auto-filled. To me this is the best way to view the draft and prepare for it. If Bluth were to drop down to 19 players before the draft, he would gain a 6th round pick. Like, if he drops Josh Downs, all those keepers move up one spot and then his 6th round pick will show up as empty. I'll use ned and his 19 keepers below as another example:




See how he has a 6th rounder now? I hope this is all making sense to you.

Last visual example is for my uncle who only kept 15 players. You'll see how he has 10 draft picks. Ignore the numbers assigned to them, by the time we get to the last few rounds, he will be the only one picking while everyone auto drafts around him. So essentially his last 4 picks will all be consecutive.




Hopefully these examples helped make things clear on how the draft will work. I hope I did not make it more confusing. Anyway, I thought I would show these examples so that everyone could look at them and have a visual representation of how the draft will look before it happens.

Last thing before I leave is to implore you to log into the actual Yahoo website instead of the app. It makes things so much easier. There are a lot of things to click around on, like Players. To me, this is the best and easiest way to look at remaining players and use the dropdown menus to sort through them. Of course, you won't be able to add anyone until after the draft. But this is a nice way to see who will be available to draft from and how Yahoo ranks them.

I'd suggest familiarizing yourself with the Yahoo page, and clicking on all dropdown menus to see what they do. Research is a good one. Matchups will take you to your next matchup, but everything will show up empty because lineups can't be set yet. On the League's front page, you can click Schedule under League Members to view everyone's schedules. There's a lot of stuff to explore that will make your fantasy life easier in the future.

See you all on August 3rd for the draft, and I will be sending out reminders and asking you to drop down below 20 players if you are currently above that number. Bye for now.

The Rad Dynasty 2024 year end awards

Just like I did last year, I will be handing out some end of season awards as we head into the offseason.

In case you want to look back at last year's awards, here they are:
Lamar Jackson was the championship game MVP, as noted in the last recap. Yay, Lamar Jackson. 🏆

Now onto the other awards:


Worst Draft Pick:

In a draft class loaded with guys like Marvin Harrison Jr, Malik Nabers, Jayden Daniels, Caleb Williams, Brock Bowers, and Rome Odunze, TBone had a real chance to land a great player with the 1.01 in the draft. Instead, he drafted... Pat Freiermuth? 

This was an auto draft pick,so I can't mock TBone too much. But I just couldn't help but laugh when I was sitting there at 1.02 and I saw Pat Freiermuth get drafted first - giving me my pick of essentially anyone I wanted. I was not expecting that. Now, tight ends are important in this league - especially since everyone must start two players. And Pat finished as the #11 scoring TE in the fantasy season. So I am not saying he is a bad player. But was he worth the 1.01? lolno.



Best Waiver Wire Pickup


Award goes to Bo Nix, for TDs or Bust. This was a tough award to pick this year, because almost every impact player was a keeper or was drafted. So I'll go with Bo Nix, even though TDs or Bust didn't always start him. It's a dynasty league, so if Nix continues to improve, this will be a heck of a pickup in the long run. Another candidate was Sam Darnold, by the Rad Dynasty. But Dan started Josh Allen every week, so it doesn't feel right to give it to Darnold.

As of the time of this writing, Nix is #11 in fantasy in scoring overall. So the future looks bright for him and for TDs or Bust.

Last year's winner: Kyren Williams for Alice in Horns


Defensive Player of the Year

This award goes to Zaire Franklin for TDs or Bust. Not another award for the ol' Dutch?? I could not think of a more deserving winner than Franklin, though, as he led all IDP in scoring. Zack Baun for Fergalicious was right behind him.

Last year's winner: Foyesade Oluokun for The Killing Fields.


Offensive Player of the Year

In the NFL this is known as the "best player who is not a quarterback" award. Chase, the Triple Crown winnrer, edges out Saquon Barkley for this honor, as Barkley played for BDB, a middling team that won 4 games. Chase helped contribute to a #1 seed and the highest regular season scoring team in Rad Dynasty history. His impact was felt much greater than Barkley's throughout this particular league.

Last year's winner: Christian McCaffrey for Bluth Company.


Kicker of the Year

Kickers need love too, right? Brandon Aubrey for Show me the TDs takes home this award. Show me the TDs finished as the #2 scoring team on the season, and Aubrey's reliability was a big part of that. He finished as the #1 kicker during regular season play. If there ever was a kicker worth keeping, it is Aubrey.


Rookie of the Year

Your rookie of the year is Brock Bowers for My Team. This was a close call, as Jayden Daniels for Teflon Don could have won this as well. But with positional scarcity at TE, Bowers provides instantly much more value at TE. His historic rookie season was one of the main reasons My Team always put up such a good fight, and won more games than they were projected to this season.

Last year's winner: Puka Nacua for Alice in Horns.



Rad Dynasty MVP

There's no other acceptable answer here, as Lamar Jackson was the #1 player in fantasy by a wide margin - nearly 44 points over Joe Burrow and 51 over Josh Allen. His epic performance this season led Fergalicious to the #2 seed in the regular season and then eventually to the championship.

Last year's winner: Jalen Hurts for ned's rollers.



Manager of the Year:

This seems like a self-serving thing to do, but I have to give myself this award. This isn't just an award that automatically goes to the manager who wins the championship. Fergalicious essentially carried over the same roster that won 4 games in 2023, but got a different result from them this season. Dynastic Dan spent all offseason trading and doing research on draft picks and building a super team. I may not have won this year, but I expect the moves I made to set myself up to be a front runner every single season for the foreseeable future. Congratulations on me, as I pat myself on the back.

Last year's winner: ned's rollers.



Worst Manager of the Year:

This should not be a surprise to anyone, as The Killing Fields had the lowest scoring team of the entire season, and was pretty much an easy win for everyone down the stretch. A game rarely passed where someone was not left in the game who was out, on bye, or on IR. This team's manager, CRA, has a pattern of abandoning every team in every league he is in, every single year. That's why I'm giving him the boot and having him replaced as a manager.

Last year's winner: TBone's Terrific Team.



That's all the awards I have this year. I hope you enjoyed the read. Remember: May 3, 2025, is the deadline for you to send me your 20 keepers. I'll be coming around with reminders closer to the date.

2025 Official Rad Dynasty Offseason Tracker



All teams have submitted their 2025 keepers. Thank you!

Taxi players from 2024 have now been added to your rosters. Everyone who kept 20 players (which was most of you) now have 21 players on their roster. You'll have until the 2025 Rad Dynasty Draft (which is August 3rd, meaning these cuts are due by end of day on the 2nd) to trim those rosters down to 20 or fewer. Remember: you must keep at least 15 players. 

If you keep 20 players, you get 5 draft picks in the 2025 draft. If you keep 19, you get 6. If you keep 18, you get 7. If you keep 17, you get 8. If you keep 16, you get 9. If you keep 15 (the minimum) you get 10 picks in the August draft.

If you are one of the teams that kept less than 20 players, you actually don't need to do anything before the draft because you already have the proper amount of players. I know My Team wants to do a soft rebuild of his team, so he only kept 15. He now has the full 10 picks in the draft. So he does not need to cut anyone. In fact, he can't cut anyone because that would drop him below 15. Ned kept 18. His taxi player brought him back up to 19. So he meets the requirements too and does not need to drop anyone before the draft (unless he wants to).

At any point before the draft you can message me and tell me if you want to drop anyone and I will update this page. As long as you don't drop below 15 players. 

Aside from that? Enjoy the offseason and let me know if you have any trades you want to make. If you wish to reach out to your fellow players, I have listed everyone's contact info at the bottom of this post.

This is the official thread to track activity for the 2025 offseason. Below I will post team assets, AKA the players on your roster at the end of the 2024 season, your taxi players, your FAB budget (you get $100 for this year, and then whatever you carried over from last season), and most importantly- your draft picks. But first, this is a space to track offseason trade announcements:


OFFSEASON TRADE ANNOUNCEMENT:
Dynastic Dan is sending his 3rd round pick (the 3.11) along with Sam Darnold, Trevor Lawrence, Keon Coleman, Jaylen Wright, and TJ Edwards to TBone's Terrific Team in exchange for TBone's 1st round pick (the 1.03) along with Tommy Devito and Gardner Minshew. Dynastic Dan subsequently dropped Tommy Devito and Gardner Minshew.

1.26 trade:
TDs or Bust sends Breece Hall and his 1st round pick (the 1.10) to Dynastic Dan for his 1st round pick (the 1.03).

2.15 trade:
TDs or Bust sends Jaylen Waddle, Antoine Winfield Jr., and the 1.03 (previously acquired from Dynastic Dan via TBone) to The Killing Fields for the 1.02.

4.18 trade:
TDs or Bust sends Bo Nix and his 2026 2nd round pick to Bluth Company for Drake London and his 2026 5th.

TRADES AND CONTACT INFO:

The offseason trade season begins immediately. It will go all the way until the day before the draft. Once a trade is agreed upon by both parties, message it to me and I will update this thread. Remember, you do not have to cut anyone until May 3rd, 2025. Keep in mind that you can make trades using your full compliment of players, and that you can go way over the roster size of 20 until May 3rd (at which point you'll be required to make cuts down to 20). Also remember that any trades involving draft picks must involve an even number of draft picks in return.

I will also post everyone's contact info so you can make trades. Only people who are in this league read these posts. There are no random psychos reading this, so hopefully you are okay with me posting this info. If not, message me and I'll remove it immediately.

Also feel free to use League Chat on the Yahoo app. I think it stays open all off season long? So if you want to chat with a league mate or put a player on the trade block, you can. If you use the website and not the app, you can hover over "League" on the top of the screen and you should see a drop down menu where you can pick League Chat. It's easy to miss if you are not checking for it.

Additionally, if you are already thinking about next season like me, check out some early dynasty rookie rankings for the incoming class next year:

The Rad Dynasty 2024 Season: Week Seventeen Recap: Second Round of Playoffs


Hard to believe it but this season of the Rad Dynasty is over. Time to start planning who you are going to keep for next season, time to start looking at the incoming rookies you might be interested in drafting, and time to start looking around to see if any trades could be made.

This season ends with a new winner being crowned. An improbable story of a team that had the second worst record in the league in year 1 of the Rad Dynasty. They turned it around in year 2 and came out on top of everyone else. Fergalicious. Who would have predicted this when the year started? 

Fergalicious was led by player of the week (and possible season MVP) Lamar Jackson. He had 33.42 points. Without his big game, this could have been a much different outcome. 


Fergalicious (#2) 155.27 vs Dynastic Dan (#1) 147.88

It was a hard fought championship game, with the projections going back and forth all weekend long. Dan was predicted to win by Yahoo, but fell 16 points shy of those projections. It was a weird game, with 3 players scoring zero points combined between the two teams. Dan came in red hot. This team has not had a scoring performance this low since week 12, when most of the team was on bye. It was just a bad time to have a bad week. This will sting for me because I don't think I'll ever have a fantasy team as good as this one ever again. Seriously, my team is loaded! Guess I need to run it back next year and hope the dynasty starts in year 3.

On the flip side, congrats to Mike! His team overperformed by 16 points, even with two players in his lineup scoring zero. Mike's been in many fantasy leagues of mine and he always has great luck. He won all 4 of my NBA leagues, to the point where I had to name the league in his honor. And now he comes in and wins the Rad Dynasty in year 2 of its existence. 4/5 leagues of mine that you've played in, you've won. That's a heck of a winning percentage. Congrats again to Mike. You are a fantasy god. CapTel crew is representing.

Here's a picture of the trophy you won this year. 



It's a free league. A picture is all you get!

For the rest of the league, I am about to post the official 2025 offseason thread (stay tuned). This will explain what you need to do this offseason, like how many players you'll be keeping, what will be happening with your taxi players, where you'll be drafting, and all the various deadlines. Don't worry, if you just want to "peace out" and be done with fantasy football, you don't need to take any action until May of 2025. I'll be reminding you closer to when the time comes.
