        Video: 6 Dynasty Trades You Gotta Make Before the Season

        Dynasty

        Before the NFL season starts, we’ve got 6 dynasty trades you need to consider. James Cook got a big new contract, but that didn’t take away his issues. Jaylen Waddle and Chris Godwin both look dramatically undervalued by the market. And is it already time to quit on Jacory Croskey-Merritt? (The guys don’t totally agree on that one.) It’s definitely time, though, to check the Dynasty Trade Value Charts and build some trade offers.
