Dynasty Trade Advice: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, James Conner, Demarcus Robinson, Jordan Mason (Fantasy Football)

While it’s the offseason for the NFL, dynasty players never get an offseason. Dynasty leagues might not be full of action this time of the year. Yet, it’s the perfect time to make some trades.

Here’s a player to trade for on each NFL team. Below we dive into a few notable dynasty fantasy football trade targets.

Dynasty Players to Buy

Arizona Cardinals: James Conner (RB)

There isn’t a more appealing running back to trade for as a contending team than Conner. The knock against the veteran is his injury history. However, he could be a fantasy steal if he is back with the Cardinals. The veteran has been the featured running back for the past two years, finishing no lower than the RB10 in half-point PPR scoring either season. Arizona is rebuilding and likely won’t invest much in the running back position, potentially giving Conner another year as the featured guy.

Los Angeles Rams: Demarcus Robinson (WR)

Fantasy players might find Robinson sitting on the waiver wire in their league. While Puka Nacua and Cooper Kupp remain Matthew Stafford’s top two weapons in the passing game, the veteran receiver was outstanding to end the 2023 season. He was the WR20 over the final six contests of the fantasy football season, averaging 11.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Robinson has surpassed Tutu Atwell as the Rams’ No. 3 wide receiver, meaning his fantasy value could skyrocket if Nacua or Kupp misses significant time next year.

San Francisco 49ers: Jordan Mason (RB)

While everyone believes Elijah Mitchell would be the featured running back if Christian McCaffrey misses time, the former sixth-round pick has struggled with injuries in his career. Meanwhile, Mason was the far superior running back last season. He had a better yards per rushing attempt average (5.2 vs. 3.8), explosive run rate (7.5% vs. 2.7%), and yards before contact per attempt (2.2 vs. 1.08) than Mitchell (per Fantasy Points Data). Fantasy players with McCaffrey on their team will want to acquire Mason this offseason.

Seattle Seahawks: Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR)

Smith-Njigba didn’t have a massive rookie season, but his future is bright. He was one of the top wide receivers in yards per route run among wide receivers over the past three NFL Draft classes in 2023. More importantly, Seattle can save up to $17 million in salary cap space by releasing Tyler Lockett this offseason. Even if the veteran returns, he showed signs of decline last year. Smith-Njigba should have a sophomore season jump in production and take over as the No. 2 wide receiver.
