The Dynasty Duel series focuses on a head-to-head battle between two players similar in dynasty value: to establish the winner and the most favorable asset to own in dynasty fantasy football.
To guide and support my decision on the winner of the duel, I’ll be using my self-created STORM analysis, focusing on five key components impacting player value in dynasty: Situation, Talent, Opportunity, Risk, and Market.
Last time I focused on quarterback, with the battle between Kenny Pickett and Russell Wilson. In this article, I’ll be analyzing running back - the position in dynasty which has a major impact on your success. Over recent years the consensus has been to fade RB and reduce risk to your dynasty portfolios - however, there is still an opportunity to roster lower-priced assets who have an excellent ceiling in their range of outcomes and push you towards your dynasty titles.
I want to discuss two players who haven’t shown their true potential thus far, two players with great pedigree who are attainable for a reasonable cost in your dynasty leagues. The Dynasty Duel I’m bringing you is D'Andre Swift v JK Dobbins.

Thanks for the read. I am surprised there’s been no mention of Montgomery’s impact on swifts value.
Wow! This is like you read my mind. I own Swift and Montgomery and was thinking Dobbins is a buy low coming into second year removed from ACL surgery and a new OC. Is it reasonable to think that one pivot from designed RB runs might be swing passes to Dobbins? I appreciate your analysis a lot. Certainly clarifies what to do with these two players. I also like that the Ravens fired the S&C coach who was incorrectly rehabbing players from injury. This could mean a healthier squad overall. Great read for sure. Love this type of series. Thanks!!!
Excellent article. Nailed it!
