Dynasty Mailbag: Week 2

Real reader questions on McMillan vs. Price, a big Justin Jefferson trade, and two deep dynasty stashes — answered with live Dynasty Value Scores.

By Marcus Reyes · September 18, 2026

Real questions from readers this week. Answered straight, with the board numbers behind each call. First mailbag is here.

"Should I draft Tetairoa McMillan or Jadarian Price in a startup?"

Tetairoa McMillan sits at 7,894 on our board. Jadarian Price sits at 3,952. That is not close, and it should not be — McMillan finished WR15 as a rookie last year. Price is still waiting on a role. Longer read on McMillan: his 2026 dynasty value.

Our own board still has McMillan on a Watch, not a clean buy. His form cooled from WR15 to WR36, and a quiet Week 1 (75 yards, no touchdown) is the kind of thing worth confirming is not a real step down before you lean on him hard. None of that changes the draft question.

Call: Take McMillan. A proven rookie season with a watch flag still beats an unproven role with a buy flag.

"I'm being offered Justin Jefferson, TreVeyon Henderson, and a 2027 2nd for Jadarian Price, Blake Corum, a 2027 mid 1st, and a 2028 late 1st. Good trade?"

You are being offered the Jefferson side. Run the players first. Justin Jefferson is 9,067. TreVeyon Henderson sits at 6,429. That is over 15,000 in combined value before the 2nd even counts. What you would send: Price at 3,952, Blake Corum at 639, plus two future firsts that have not played a snap.

Future picks are harder to price exactly, but even generously — treating a 2027 mid 1st like a strong rookie running back and the 2028 late 1st like a real but modest asset — those two picks do not close a gap this size. They also carry bust risk of their own.

Call: Take it. This favors the side receiving Jefferson and Henderson, which is you. Pass only if those two firsts are the entire spine of a rebuild and you cannot replace the capital. Otherwise model the exact pick years on the Dynasty Trade Calculator.

"Hold or drop Isaac Guerendo for dynasty?"

Isaac Guerendo sits at 142 DVS, and our board has him on a plain Watch. The number tells the real story: seven games active in 2025, zero touches, stuck behind Christian McCaffrey in a backfield that is not opening up anytime soon. That is not injury risk or bad luck — that is a depth chart problem with no clear path around it.

Call:Drop him in a shallow league. In a deep dynasty league with real stash capacity, there is no cost to holding a Round 4 pick with real athletic testing in case McCaffrey's injury history catches up with him again — but do not confuse "cheap to hold" with "likely to pay off." This is a lottery ticket, not a buy-low.

"Kenyon Sadiq dynasty trade value as far as future picks?"

Kenyon Sadiq checks in at 5,675 with a Buy stance — projected for 75.5 catches and real receiving volume in a Jets offense that needs it. That is a real dynasty asset, not just a name.

Call: A future first is a fair, maybe slightly light starting point depending on the round. Do not give him away for a mid-round rookie pick without making the other side sweeten it first.
