In the world of dynasty fantasy football, staying ahead of the curve is essential to maintaining a competitive edge. In a recent FantasyPros Dynasty Football Podcast, Scott Bogman and Pat Fitzmaurice discussed selling high on players who are currently at their peak value. By capitalizing on hype and market sentiment, you can maximize your return on investment and position your team for long-term success.
1. Saquon Barkley (RB – NYG)
Concern: Concerns About Pass-Catching and Efficiency
Saquon Barkley, once a fantasy darling, has raised concerns about his pass-catching ability and declining efficiency. With lackluster performance as a pass catcher since 2019, along with a dip in rushing efficiency, his market value may be inflated. At 26.5 years old, it might be prudent to consider trading him for a valuable asset, especially given the loaded 2024 draft class.
2. Javonte Williams (RB – DEN)
Concern: Recovery and Performance Doubts
The uncertainty surrounding Javonte Williams’ recovery from a significant knee injury raises questions about his long-term viability. The comparisons to Saquon Barkley’s post-injury struggles further highlight the risks. Trading Williams after a few standout games could yield a substantial return.
3. Dameon Pierce (RB – HOU)
Concern: Workload Concerns
Dameon Pierce shows promise, but doubts linger regarding his ability to handle a full workload. The Houston Texans signing another running back signals potential concerns about Pierce’s durability. Selling now might secure his value before workload concerns impact his market price.
4. J.K. Dobbins (RB – BAL)
5. Miles Sanders (RB – PHI)
Concern: Workload Worries
J.K. Dobbins’ role as a workhorse back could be in question, and Miles Sanders’ capacity to handle a heavy workload might be limited. Depending on their performances this season, selling high on either could be a strategic move.
6. Chris Godwin (WR – TB)
Concern: Productivity and Quarterback Changes
Chris Godwin’s average depth of target has dropped, and the presence of inefficient running backs might affect his productivity. Additionally, a potential downgrade at quarterback adds an element of uncertainty. Exploring trade options for Godwin could be advantageous.
7. Deebo Samuel (WR – SF)
Concern: Shifting Role and Target Share
Deebo Samuel’s transition to a gadget player with limited targets and a decreasing role as a runner suggests it’s time to evaluate his value. The emergence of other receiving threats on the 49ers further diminishes his fantasy potential.
8. George Pickens (WR – PIT)
Concern: Contested Catch Specialist with Challenges
George Pickens, while a contested catch artist, faces challenges such as low target share and poor separation skills. These limitations could impact his fantasy production. Depending on the right circumstances, trading him might be wise.
9. Kyle Pitts (TE – ATL)
Concern: Lower Target Volume and Tight End Market
Kyle Pitts is undoubtedly a physical freak, but a run-heavy offense and a deepening tight end market might hinder his fantasy output. Exploring trade options now, possibly for a promising young tight end, could pay off.
10. George Kittle (TE – SF)
Concern: Inconsistent Fantasy Production
Certain players exhibit strong football skills but sporadic fantasy production due to injuries or other factors. Capitalizing on their brand value might allow you to acquire valuable assets in return.
Remember, while selling high can yield significant gains, it also comes with risks. Analyzing your team’s needs, the market landscape, and a player’s long-term potential is crucial before making any trades. Stay informed, make calculated decisions, and propel your dynasty fantasy football team to championship heights.
