Dynasty Risers and Fallers Week 15: McCarthy, Pitts, Burrow! Dynasty Fantasy Football Podcast - EP. 764

Dynasty Risers and Fallers: JJ McCarthy, Kyle Pitts, and Joe Burrow Rich Dotson, Garret Price, and Jagger May broke down the week's biggest dynasty risers and fallers on the latest podcast. JJ McCarthy topped the risers after back-to-back solid performances, while Kyle Pitts exploded for 45.6 PPR points. On the flip side, Joe Burrow continues to struggle, raising concerns about his long-term future in Cincinnati. Listen to This Episode: 🎧 Apple Podcasts 🎙️ Spotify ▶️ YouTube Rich emphasized that McCarthy remains obtainable despite his recent success, projecting he could be acquired for a first-round pick plus. The young quarterback is completing over 73% of his passes with six touchdowns across two games in Kevin O'Connell's system. Garret threw cold water on the hype, noting McCarthy faced the third and first-worst defenses against fantasy quarterbacks, but all three hosts agreed the positional value makes him worth the gamble. Luther Burden also earned riser status after leading the Bears in targets since Week 10, though Rich cautioned his value is situational with Rome Odunze returning soon. Pitts' massive game sparked debate about whether this is his second coming or just a contract-year fluke, with the Patriots and Commanders emerging as potential landing spots. The fallers list featured Sam Darnold cooling off after a hot start, Stefon Diggs entering his Keenan Allen phase, and Burrow raising Andrew Luck retirement comparisons. Jagger highlighted the Bengals' organizational cheapness as a major concern for Burrow's health and happiness moving forward.
