Drafting rookies / seeing results?

[SwampiesModerator 58]

When drafting a rookie in dynasty how soon are you excepting to see results? After four weeks of a regular season? Half the season or are you investing for the future of your fantasy team? Are treating the player like a stock? As soon as you can get more value you invested in are you trading him?

If i personally feel if I’m investing in a low draft pick like a 1.1-1.7 I’m assuming to see results within four weeks depending on the situation they are in within the lineup. Thoughts?

So I am in 2 D-Leagues. One drafted in May and the other drafts later this month

In May (12-Team league) I got
BTJ to be my WR3 and am hoping for immediate results
Adonai Mitchell hoping for bye week help
Braelon Allen (cuff), Bucky Irving (cuff) Isaac Guerendo (spec pick if McCaffrey goes down)

August (10-Team NoPPR league) I have traded into some picks and working on others. 10-player starting requirements = 1 QB / 1-2 RB / 1-3 WR / 1-2 TE / 1DST / 1 Kicker
1.04 – Targeting JD5 to be a bye week replacement for Josh Allen and MAYBE my weekly starting dilemma. Don’t trust Herbert or Levis.
1.08 – Targeting Benson – I think that Brooks will go at 1.03 to a RB needy team
1.10 – Targeting BTJ or Coleman
2.02 – Might reach for Jaylen Wright to cuff him to Achane
2.08 – Might reach for Braelon Allen to cuff him to Breece

Trying to sell stuff because I have to reduce my roster size from 31 to 23 before the draft. Anyone I can sell is one I don’t have to just cut
1.10 plus McLaughlin & Perine to the Javonte owner to upgrade to 1.05. That would ensure I get either Cooks or Benson
2.08 plus Bigsby the Etienne owner to upgrade to 2.05
3.10 plus Keaton Mitchell, Justice Hill and Trey Sermon to the Henry / JT owner to upgrade to 3.07. Seems like I should be able to ask for more
OR 3.10 plus Dobbins to the Gus Bus owner to upgrade to 3.02

My current roster that I plan to keep. This will may change depending upon what trades are accepted
QB – Josh Allen Justin Herbert Will Levis
RB – Bijan Robinson Breece Hall De’Von Achane Tyler Allgeier
WR – CeeDee Lamb A.J. Brown Nico Collins Christian Watson Romeo Doubs Khalil Shakir Trey Palmer
TD – Kyle Pitts Dalton Kincaid T.J. Hockenson Dawson Knox Daniel Bellinger
DST – Jets Falcons
K – Jason Myers
