Dynasty Trade Advice: Courtland Sutton, Travis Kelce (2023 Fantasy Football)

Several factors go into building a consistently elite dynasty team. One of those is identifying the top player on every NFL team. Another is knowing which players you should trade away before their fantasy value decreases.

Typically the starting quarterback is the top dynasty asset on every NFL team in superflex leagues. However, they are rarely the top asset in 1QB leagues. To help you build the best dynasty team possible, I will identify the top dynasty asset and sell candidates for every NFL team.

Today I break down the AFC West teams: the Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers.

The Top Sell Candidate

Here are players to consider trading away on each AFC West team.

Courtland Sutton (WR – DEN)

While some, including myself, had high hopes for Sutton last year, it didn’t work out. Yes, poor quarterback play has impacted the former SMU star. However, Sutton has regressed since his career year in 2019. He missed all but one game in 2022 because of injury. Unfortunately, the receiver hasn’t been the same since returning from the torn ACL. Sutton has only a 3.3% touchdown rate over the past two years. Meanwhile, Jerry Jeudy is coming off the best year of his career and has become the No. 1 wide receiver. Hopefully, Sutton can bounce back in 2023 with a healthy Russell Wilson. If not, fantasy players should cut their losses with the veteran receiver.

Travis Kelce (TE – KC)

Contending dynasty teams don’t want to trade away Kelce, but everyone else should sell high. The future Hall of Famer has been the TE1 in six of the past seven years, with the lone exception coming as the TE2 in 2021. However, he turns 34 during the 2023 season and could retire next off-season if his brother walks away. The only real knock against Kelce is his touchdown dependency. He had a career-high 12 receiving touchdowns last season, scoring 27.6% of his half-point PPR fantasy points from those touchdowns. By comparison, the superstar scored 24.9% of his fantasy points on touchdowns in 2021. Kelce wouldn’t be a sell candidate if he were three years younger.
