Dynasty Trade Advice: Pat Freiermuth, Jerome Ford, Charlie Jones, Rashod Bateman (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

Baltimore Ravens: Rashod Bateman (WR)

Bateman flashed star potential to start the 2022 season, averaging 15.9 half-point PPR fantasy points per game over the first two weeks. Unfortunately, foot injuries forced him to miss 11 games. Last year, the former Minnesota star failed to see a consistent role on offense, earning more than four targets in only four contests. However, head coach John Harbaugh said Bateman would be a starter in 2024. If he can finally stay healthy, the former first-round receiver is an excellent buy-low candidate.

Cincinnati Bengals: Charlie Jones (WR)

According to reports, the Bengals have placed the franchise tag on Tee Higgins, meaning Tyler Boyd’s time with the team is likely over. While many label Andrei Iosivas as a dynasty trade target this offseason, his fantasy outlook took a hit with Higgins returning. Meanwhile, Jones could replace Boyd as the team’s starting slot receiver in 2024. The second-year receiver had only nine targets as a rookie. Yet, he had a dominating college career. Fantasy players might even find Jones sitting on their league’s waiver wire.

Cleveland Browns: Jerome Ford (RB)

Unfortunately, Nick Chubb suffered a gruesome knee injury last year, ending his season. Ford played well despite the return of Kareem Hunt. The second-year player was the RB17, averaging 11.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He joined James Cook and Bijan Robinson as the only top-24 running backs with fewer than five rushing touchdowns. Reportedly, Chubb must take a significant pay cut to remain with the team. Furthermore, he is likely won’t be ready for Week 1. Ford could have a featured role to start the 2024 season.

Pittsburgh Steelers: Pat Freiermuth (TE)

The former Penn State star missed five games last season and struggled when playing, averaging a career-low 5.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Freiermuth’s targets (36.1%) and receiving yards (43.9%) per game drop significantly from 2022 to 2023. However, the arrival of Arthur Smith is good news for the veteran tight end. The Atlanta Falcons tight ends averaged a 31.7% overall target share and a 29.3% red zone target share last year. Freiermuth could have a massive bounce-back season in the final year of his rookie contract.
