The wonderful Mike Tagliere posts an updated dynasty trade value chart each month, and it’s an excellent resource for both dynasty players and commissioners, as you can use it to gauge trade balance. It’s often difficult to discuss a trade when you and other members of your league see a player very differently, so Tags’ chart functions as a helpful, unbiased third party.

Each month, I’ll be here to create some recommended trade offers using Tags’ values. Since you’ll usually need to overcome the endowment effect to pry a player away from another manager, most of these offers will add up to a little bit more than what the target player is worth.

Here are some recommended dynasty trade offers if you’re looking to acquire a quarterback.

Trades for 1QB Leagues

Deshaun Watson (HOU)

Tags’ Trade Value: 33
Potential Offer: James Robinson (36) OR Chris Carson (32)

With Watson unlikely to remain a Texan much longer, his value could move dramatically depending upon where he ends up. While the Texans have said that the quarterback “isn’t available,” it’s hard to see how Houston holds onto him. Watson has even threatened to hold out, too.

This uncertainty creates opportunity. If the Watson manager is committed to making a short-term playoff push, the risk of him ending up on a bad offense — or holding out entirely — could be too much for him or her to bear.

If that is the case, try offering the Watson manager a depreciating asset that should remain somewhat useful next season. The Seahawks may add another player to their backfield alongside Chris Carson in the draft, and franchises tend not to trust undrafted running backs like James Robinson due to the flooded market (see: Phillip Lindsay). That said, both players should have enough upside to pique the Watson manager’s interest, and one of them should be a good starting point.

Matthew Stafford (LAR)

Tags’ Trade Value: 14 20 (+6 post-trade)
Potential Offer A: Raheem Mostert (19) AND a Third-Round Pick (4)
Potential Offer B: Corey Davis (23)

With Stafford now on the Los Angeles Rams, it’s clear that Sean McVay wants to make a short-term playoff push. We’ve seen how good McVay’s offenses can be — Goff finished as the QB12 in 2017 and the QB7 in 2018. Meanwhile, Stafford has flashed QB1 upside throughout his career, often serving as a fantastic low-end option at the position.

If you just lost a quarterback to retirement (Drew Brees, Philip Rivers), or you expect that your signal-caller may not have a job for much longer (Gardner Minshew, Jared Goff), Stafford makes a strong back-end option. You should expect to overpay slightly, as his manager may have high hopes for next season, but Stafford’s ceiling in McVay’s offense is worth the price.

I’ve included two offers to consider sending for Stafford. A depreciating running back, like Mostert or James Conner, could be a good player to pair with a draft pick. Alternatively, an impending free agent receiver, like Davis or Curtis Samuel, could make a compelling one-player offer — especially if you acquired them on the cheap before their strong 2020s.

Trades for 2QB/Superflex Leagues

Kyler Murray (AR)

Tags’ Trade Value: 62
Potential Offer: Robert Woods (38) AND Matthew Stafford (35 43 post-trade)

You will have to overpay to get Murray, especially in 2QB leagues. That said, Murray’s disappointing end to the 2020 season may have some of his managers willing to shop him for the right price. He posted 20 or fewer points in five of his last six games. He still finished as the QB2 through 16 games, though, and his rushing upside makes him a valuable option if he can stay healthy.

Enter the Los Angeles Rams. Their move for Stafford has them on the up-and-up, and Woods will be playing with the best quarterback in his eight-season career. He’s still managed to finish as at least a WR3 over the last three seasons, including one WR1 finish in 2018, and we can credit McVay for that.

If the Murray manager is in win-now mode and needs depth, Stafford and Woods could have some appeal options. Of course, their manager may ask for more, and it’s up to you to decide how much you’re willing to spend on him. He’s a great player to target if you’re rebuilding.

Derek Carr (LV)

Tags’ Trade Value: 28
Potential Offer: Jarvis Landry (25) AND a Third-Round Pick (4)

I like Carr more than most people. He ranked 15th among all quarterbacks in accuracy rating (7.5) and threw the eighth-most money throws (29). The Raiders aren’t fantastic, but they have enough high-upside deep weapons to give Carr some pop as a QB2. With him apparently off the table trade-wise, it’s safe to expect that he’ll return to the Raiders, and he’ll have a regular offseason to build chemistry with his speedy receivers.

Carr already finished as the QB13 last season, good for a high-end QB2 result. Sure, injuries may have derailed the seasons of other options, but Carr should finish as at least a mid-range QB2 next season.

Meanwhile, Jarvis Landry had a best-case 2020. Odell Beckham went down, and the Browns were often shorthanded at receiver and tight end. Landry averaged just 10.2 PPR points per game before Beckham went down in Week 7, yet the narrative hasn’t turned against him yet. So if you’re in need of a quarterback, and the Carr manager has one to give, you should try shooting them an offer with Landry as the key part of the deal.
