While there are still eyes on the NFL, dynasty managers should continue to work on trades to make their team better. Once the Super Bowl is over, a lot of leagues go dormant, so you might be better off making a trade now while you still can. Here are some players I’m trading for and trading away as we gear up for the big game in Las Vegas on February 11.
Dynasty Trades to Make Ahead of the Super Bowl (2024 Fantasy Football)
Trade Away These Players
It’s wild to see how much Hurts’ value has changed over the last 18 months. He went from an ADP of QB11 in 2021 up to QB2 now, which is where he finished in scoring for the 2023 season. That being said, I’m pretty sure this is the peak of Hurts’ value, so I want out.
The offense will look very different next year due to an offensive coordinator change. We also can’t ignore the fact that Pro Bowl center Jason Kelce has retired, thereby limiting the potential impact of the Brotherly Shove. All signs are pointing down for me, and I want out before the rest of the community catches up. I’d be happy to tier down and add another rising asset in the process if I can pull that off.
I was shocked to see that Kamara finished as RB11 in PPR scoring this year while only playing in 13 games. He was third overall in points per game, tied for second in targets, and was second in receptions. On the other hand, he only scored five touchdowns and had the fewest carries of anyone who finished in the top 20 at the position. Kamara is an enigma. It felt like we barely heard his name this year.
All that aside, the Saints are in a massive rebuild and I wouldn’t be shocked if they go an entirely different direction in 2024. He has a $19 million cap hit this year, but the Saints are notorious for being able to absorb cap hits like that. I want out before he’s cut and his value tanks even further. Sell your league mates on his 2023 and find another running back you can ride back up the ranks instead.
The entire Texans team over-performed their expectations in 2023 and Collins might be the biggest surprise of them all. He finished as WR12 overall and WR7 in points per game in PPR scoring. He did that while also being WR25 in targets and WR17 in receptions. For most of the year he was fighting with Tank Dell for the WR1 position. After Dell got hurt, Nico became the top target for quarterback CJ Stroud and I fully expect that to continue next year.
Most fantasy leagues didn’t count Week 18, but Collins finished the year on his highest note, going nine for nine for 195 yards and a touchdown. All of this bodes well for Collins’ future, and even though his price has already gone up, I’m fine jumping onto the bandwagon late. Better late than never, right? Dell is coming back, and the team will likely address their running back position, so maybe you can convince the current Collins manager that there are a lot of question marks around him and make a deal happen that benefits you.
As I mentioned earlier, we may be about to see a changing of the guard at tight end, both in Baltimore and in fantasy. In fantasy, some younger players are rising through the ranks like Sam LaPorta and Trey McBride who will push out some of the dominant veterans of years past. This includes veterans like Andrews, as one example.
Andrews turns 29 just before the season kicks off and is looking at a massive cap hit. Even though he returned to the team for the conference championship game, his ankle injury wasn’t a small one. He could return to his former production, but I get the feeling that he’s going to get worse before he gets better. If you can pivot off of him to get younger now might be the best time to do so. Once free agency starts and the chaos begins, you might miss out on getting full value in a trade for him. Move sooner rather than later if you’re worried as well.
