Dynasty Trade Targets: Four Players to Grab, Two to Dump

How to Turn Shifting Narratives Into Dynasty Profit

Dynasty fantasy football revolves around value. 

As we head toward the end of the fantasy regular season, now is the time to make moves and solidify the direction on your team.

Contending and need a shot in the arm? We have a veteran WR you can get cheap.

Rebuilding for a run next year? We have RBs who could emerge in 2026.

We also go through some disappointing WRs to move before it’s too late.

Four Dynasty Buys Before the Window Closes

Bhayshul Tuten, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars

Tuten has been a Draft Sharks favorite since before the draft. He spent two years starting at Virginia Tech and posted double-digit rushing TDs in each season.

At the Combine, he led all RBs in:

• 40-yard dash: 4.32 seconds
• 10-yard split: 1.49 seconds
• Vertical: 40.5 inches

GM James Gladstone even named Tuten a priority Day 3 target during his GM interviews. Jacksonville took Tuten in Round 4 despite already rostering Travis Etienne and Tank Bigsby.

Tuten’s rookie-draft ADP settled at 2.09, capped by fears he’d be blocked on the depth chart. Those fears were misplaced. After Week 1, Jacksonville traded Bigsby to Philadelphia, elevating Tuten to the No. 2 RB role.

Tuten has been locked into that role ever since.

Tuten’s Role Grows, and So Does His Buy Appeal

Despite missing the entire fourth quarter with an injury, Tuten played a season-high 32% of snaps in Week 11. He also delivered his best performance since Week 2, going 15-74-1 and finishing as PPR RB20.

He handled only 35.7% of RB touches, but that role should expand next season. Etienne is set to be a free agent, and the Jaguars haven’t shown urgency in re-signing him.

Tuten’s value will likely rise as soon as the offseason hits and fantasy managers recognize that Etienne is likely leaving.

Grabbing Liam Coen’s potentially next starting RB for a late 2026 first in a weak draft class gives immediate fantasy upside in 2026 with a young, athletic runner.

Davante Adams, WR, Los Angeles Rams

Trading for a 32-year-old WR in dynasty isn’t generally a good idea, but Adams’s production and age make him a cheap buy for a contender.

Adams ranks as WR8 in PPR points per game this season. He sits second in expected PPR points per game. He has delivered for fantasy managers this season and sets up well for the fantasy playoffs with three neutral matchups against the Lions, Seahawks, and Falcons.

Rebuilding teams still holding Adams should move him to secure a higher draft pick. His production could earn them a win they don’t want. A 2026 mid-second-round pick can likely get the deal done.

There’s little evidence age is catching up to him, and Adams remains under contract with the Rams through next season. He looks likely to remain a fantasy starter next year in his age-33 season. This isn’t just a play for this year but a move that keeps you contending in 2026 as well.

Kenneth Walker, RB, Seattle Seahawks

2025 has been a disappointing year for Walker. He sits at RB26 in PPR points per game and has played only 47.5% of snaps, splitting nearly evenly with Zach Charbonnet at 46.5%.

Walker’s down season creates a buy opportunity for the talented runner. Fantasy managers were likely counting on him, and now he can’t be started with confidence. This opens the door to acquire him before he hits free agency this offseason.

The Seahawks haven’t shown much interest in bringing him back, but a lead-back role on a new team would boost his value immediately.

Walker finished as RB22 in PPR points per game in 2024 and RB12 in 2023. This season has created a clear buy-low window. Acquiring Walker for a late 2026 pick or a younger player sets you up for a value gain this offseason and possibly top-15 RB production if he lands in the right spot.

Tre Harris, WR, Los Angeles Chargers

Harris entered the league with one of the best draft profiles in the 2025 WR class. He averaged an absurd 5.12 yards per route in 2024. No other WR at the 2025 Combine even reached 3.72.

His 5.12 yards per route was the highest by a Power Five WR with 200 or more routes since Pro Football Focus began tracking the stat in 2015. That production made him a lock for the top 100, and the Chargers selected him 55th overall.

There was hope for immediate impact ... but then the Chargers signed Keenan Allen.

Allen stepped into the No. 3 role -- alongside Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johston -- limiting Harris to 8% of snaps in Week 1. His role steadily increased, though, and he even led Chargers WRs in snaps in Weeks 6 and 8.

Even with the increased usage, Harris sits at WR126 in PPR points per game. His lack of production has kept his cost down despite strong draft capital and an elite college profile.

Allen will enter his age-34 season next year and is set to become a free agent. The Chargers also must decide whether to pick up Johnston’s fifth-year option. Harris is positioned for a larger role next season and potentially a top outside job by 2027.

He is worth exploring as a buy, potentially for a late 2026 second-round pick.

A.J. Brown, WR, Philadelphia Eagles

Brown’s sits at just WR44 in PPR points per game. He has two weeks as the WR4, but he hasn’t posted a top-15 finish in any other week. He also has four finishes outside the top 40.

The drop in production, combined with Brown turning 29 next year, makes this the time to move him before the bottom falls out. His friction with the Eagles has been well-documented, with cryptic social media posts hinting at a possible split.

But Brown’s contract runs through 2029 with a potential out after 2026. He will likely be 30 before he has a real chance to land on another team, and by then the decline could be even sharper.

His name value still carries enough weight to trade him for a startable WR or a high second-round rookie pick. Move him before more bad publicity or poor performances cut his value further.

Matthew Golden, WR, Green Bay Packers

Golden was selected 23rd overall by the Packers in the 2025 NFL Draft. His profile combined a strong College Football Playoff run with 4.29 speed, which pushed him into the first round.

The highlights were impressive, but Golden's full-season production revealed a more modest impact:

-16.1% target share (39th among 49 Combine WRs)

-19.5% of Texas’ receptions (34th)

-27.0% of the receiving yards (28th)

-26.5% of the receiving TDs (26th)

-Tied for 28th in PFF receiving grade

-Tied for 31st in yards per route

We haven’t seen many highlights in Golden’s NFL career so far. He sits at WR82 in PPR points per game, with a season-best WR22 finish in Week 6 against the Bengals. He has finished outside the top 40 in six of nine games.

Romeo Doubs is the only Packers WR set to hit free agency after this season. Jayden Reed, Christian Watson, Dontayvion Wicks, and Savion Williams all remain under contract. At best, Golden emerges as the top option in a crowded group. At worst, he spends another year buried on the depth chart.

Sometimes it is better to cut your losses on a highly drafted rookie before multiple down seasons pile up. Golden’s value may hold through the offseason, but a slow start to his second year will send it plummeting.

Move him for at least a high second-round rookie pick before the market realizes he was overrated.
