Dynasty Trade Targets: Kyler Murray, Kenneth Walker III, Joe Mixon (2023 Fantasy Football)

My last piece was about dynasty fantasy football players to trade away, so it’s only natural to look at players I’m buying next. Most of these players are seeing a downturn in value for one reason or another, but I think that’s short-lived. Buying now before they recover to their true value should benefit your roster as a whole, no matter how strong your team is. Buying low and selling high is one of the best ways to turn around any roster, so let’s get into it.

Dynasty Trade Advice: Seven Players to Buy (2023 Fantasy Football)

Here are players to trade for in your dynasty fantasy football leagues.

Kyler Murray (QB – ARI)

I know, I know, you’re probably sick of this one, but Murray is the biggest buy in the dynasty space at the moment. Sure, his team is in shambles, and it’s entirely possible that he will come back slightly diminished from his injury. But that’s not deterring me from adding him on the cheap wherever I can. His upside is just too good. The Cardinals won’t be terrible forever, will they?

I’m especially high on Murray on rebuilding rosters. If I have no business scoring points this year, Murray should be my QB1 this year. He might not come back until midseason, if at all, and that’s exactly what I’m looking for on a team aiming for the bottom. If things go right, you could end up looking at Murray and Caleb Williams as your two QBs, and that sounds mighty good to me. When I’m rebuilding, I want all the risk and all the upside, and right now, that’s Murray.

Kenneth Walker (RB – SEA)

Walker is a weird one. I get the narrative that he should be a sell because the Seahawks added Zach Charbonnet in the second round of the NFL draft, but I think we’ve gone too far. There was a brief moment this offseason where Walker was being mentioned alongside guys like Breece Hall and Jonathan Taylor. Now it seems like he’s being tossed aside. I get the logic, but I’ll gladly buy the dip if available. Walker should still have the upside of an RB1 most weeks, Charbonnet aside.

Joe Mixon (RB – CIN)

Similar to Walker, Mixon is also getting tossed into the trash heap lately. The Bengals were being talked about as a team likely to draft an RB in the earlier rounds after they let Samaje Perine walk. Instead, they drafted Chase Brown in the fifth round. That’s not exactly something to be all that afraid of. Mixon should be in line for true RB1 volume and still has a year or two of startable talent. If I can get him for a decent price, I’m happy to add him to my roster, especially as a bench or flex player. Depth wins titles, and Mixon can still provide some real depth.
