Players to Buy Low: Dynasty Fantasy Football
Which player are you buying now in dynasty leagues and why? Also, what are you willing to give up to get him?
Treylon Burks (WR – TEN)
“While Treylon Burks had a disappointing rookie season, he is one of my top dynasty trade targets. Last year the rookie dealt with injuries but finished the year playing well. Burks averaged 1.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per target over his final six games last season despite his injuries and inconsistent quarterback play. More importantly, the Titans didn’t add a significant veteran wide receiver in free agency and waited until the seventh round to draft one. After struggling as a rookie, Burks will see a healthy target share this year, leading to his sophomore breakout.”

Najee Harris (RB – PIT)
“If the Najee Harris stakeholder in your league is disenchanted after Najee’s inefficient, slightly disappointing 2022 season, this is a good time to swoop in. Najee averaged only 3.8 yards per carry and 4.3 yards per target last season, but it’s possible he was playing at less than 100% early on after sustaining a Lisfranc foot sprain in training camp. Najee averaged 59.1 yards from scrimmage over the first eight games of the season, 87.8 yards from scrimmage over his last nine games. The Steelers have made significant upgrades to their offensive line this offseason, significant improvements to that unit in the offseason, signing OGs Isaac Seumalo and Nate Herbig, and trading up to draft OT Broderick Jones in the first round, so this will probably be the best offensive line Najee has worked with since entering the league. Buy the dip on a 25-year-old workhorse who should be poised for a big season. I’d happily part with either the 30-year-old Davante Adams or the 23-year-old Treylon Burks to land Najee.”
– Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros)
“If the price is right, I’m trying to acquire Najee Harris. He played hurt most of last season on a dismal Steelers offense. However, they added some depth and weight to the line and I expect QB Kenny Pickett to take that next step in his career development. I’d be willing to send a WR like Chris Godwin or a TE like TJ Hockenson for him in TE premium leagues.”
– Andrew Hall (FantasyPros)
Rashod Bateman (WR – BAL)
“After players initially disappoint in dynasty leagues, a lot get thrown to the pile and are no longer the desired assets they once were. We saw this after Trevor Lawrence‘s rookie year, 12 months after he was the most heralded dynasty asset in years. Like Lawrence, Bateman has dealt with adversity even if it was very different, but nonetheless, we can explain what’s gone wrong for Bateman and easily see a 2023 where things click into place as a part of a much pass-happier new offense. If I can move on from an aging running back like Aaron Jones or Derrick Henry to get Bateman and something on top, then it’s a sensible decision for your roster.”
