Dynasty Trade Advice: Jaylen Waddle, Rhamondre Stevenson, Khalil Shakir, Xavier Gipson (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

Buffalo Bills: Khalil Shakir (WR)

Buffalo’s wide receiver core could undergo significant changes this offseason. Gabe Davis is a free agent and reportedly won’t return. Meanwhile, Stefon Diggs’ future with the Bills is up in the air. He is on the wrong side of 30, has had late-season struggles in back-to-back years, and both sides might decide a divorce is best. However, Shakir will return and could have a breakout season. He averaged over 12.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per game over his final three contests, including the playoffs.

Miami Dolphins: Jaylen Waddle (WR)

The 2023 season was one to forget for Waddle. He averaged 11.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game last year, a career-low. However, removing the Week 16 contest that Waddle left early with an injury, the receiver averaged 12.1 fantasy points per game last season. That’s the same average Waddle had as a rookie when he was the WR16. The Dolphins don’t have the resources to improve their receiving core this offseason. Waddle should easily rebound into a top-15 wide receiver next season.

New England Patriots: Rhamondre Stevenson (RB)

There is nowhere for the Patriots’ offense to go but up from here. While Stevenson’s numbers regressed from his 2022 breakout season, he was putting it together before an injury ended his year. Over his final six healthy contests, Stevenson averaged five yards per rushing attempt and 141 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, scoring 11.5 or more in all but one matchup. He wants to be the featured back next season, and New England would be foolish to use him any other way in a contract year.

New York Jets: Xavier Gipson (WR)

Last season, the Jets’ wide receiver unit was uninspiring behind Garrett Wilson. However, Gipson flashed some upside. The undrafted rookie averaged 6.8 half-point PPR fantasy points per game in the three contests with more than five targets. While that average isn’t significant, Gipson posted a 20% target per route run rate in those contests (per Fantasy Points Data). The young receiver is a cheap dynasty buy with the potential to have a larger role in his second season in the league.
