Dynasty Trade Advice

Tyreek Hill (MIA) – WR8 – 29yrs old

There were reasons to be skeptical that Tyreek Hill could continue to be an elite fantasy asset in Miami, but last year’s performance should put those to bed. Hill was far less reliant on downfield shots and instead thrived creating yards after the catch in a potent offense. Hill has talked about not wanting to play for more than a few more years, but he’s a good enough talent that you should either be happy to roll the dice for several more years of top production or, instead, you can find a way to package him into a deal for other players, with KeepTradeCut valuing Hill at the same cost as the 2023 1.03. Sometimes a stealthy approach can help when trying to move veterans, so be considerate of that when opening trade conversations.

Tyler Lockett (SEA) – WR45 – 30yrs old

Dynasty managers seem to be down on Tyler Lockett, who enters his age 31 season, on the back of nine weekly performances of 15 or more PPR points in 2022. Jaxon Smith-Njigba does feel like a more natural replacement for Lockett than DK Metcalf, but Smith-Njigba is largely perceived as a pure slot player, and Lockett averaged only 43 percent of his snaps from the slot in 2022. There’s a real possibility that Lockett could be on the team for several years, and DK Metcalf has zero guaranteed money after this year. Lockett has always been undervalued in fantasy football, and for the cost of a late second-round pick, he’s someone contenders should be looking to acquire.

Mike Evans (TB) – WR41 – 29yrs old

After nine straight seasons of 1000 receiving yards or more, Mike Evans might face his biggest uphill struggle to accumulate yardage with either of Baker Mayfield or Kyle Trask at quarterback. Mayfield struggled to keep Odell Beckham fantasy relevant in Cleveland, and Kyle Trask is a completely unknown quantity at this point. The market is depressed on Mike Evans at the moment, with his value dropping to almost a mid-second-round pick. If you have him on your roster, it’ll be best to wait and hope for some of his trademark blow-up games before looking to move on.
