The key to winning dynasty fantasy football deals is to trade for someone when their value is relatively low and send them away when their value is near or at its apex. With the league’s roster situation still in flux, you have the added dynamic of making speculative moves based on what you think might happen, which adds another fun layer of complexity.
That said, it can be tough to decide who you’re targeting and selling, considering the generally uncertain state of each team and player’s situation right now. Fortunately, our featured analysts have come to offer their suggestions on which trade candidates you’d be wise to buy in dynasty fantasy football leagues.

Dynasty Fantasy Football Buy Low
Which player are you buying low in dynasty leagues and why? Also, what are you willing to give up to get him?
Christian Kirk (WR – JAC)
“Christian Kirk is one of my top dynasty buys this offseason. The last time Kirk was Trevor Lawrence‘s go-to wide receiver, he ended the year as the WR11, averaging 11.8 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Furthermore, the former Texas A&M star was the WR16, averaging 11.7 fantasy points per game from Week 2 through Week 12 despite Calvin Ridley seeing a 20% target per route run rate during those contests last season (per Fantasy Points Data). With Gabe Davis and Brian Thomas Jr. challenging defenses downfield, expect Kirk to see plenty of volume in the middle of the field. I would happily part with an older veteran with name value like Davante Adams for him.”

Jameson Williams (WR – DET)
“With some dynasty managers losing patience with Jameson Williams, this seems like the right time to buy in on him. The Lions took Williams 12th overall in 2022, even though he was coming off a torn ACL, and they understandably used him very lightly in his rookie season, limiting him to six games and 78 offensive snaps. Last year, Williams missed the first four games of the season with a hamstring injury, his snap share was below 70% in all 12 of the games he played, and he had 24 catches for 354 yards and a couple of touchdowns. Williams is due for a usage spike this season. Yes, Jared Goff is going to throw a lot of passes to slot receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown and TE Sam LaPorta. But Williams’ competition for targets on the outside is Kalif Raymond. Donovan Peoples-Jones and Tre’Quan Smith. Williams had 1,500 receiving yards and 15 TD catches in his final season in Alabama, and he has lethal, game-breaking speed. I’d be willing to give up RBs such as James Conner or Zach Charbonnet to acquire Williams, WRs such as DeAndre Hopkins and Josh Doubs, or TE such as Dallas Goedert.”

Mark Andrews (TE – BAL)
“There seems to be a discount available on Mark Andrews currently because he’s “old” at 28 years old. For what it’s worth, Travis Kelce is 34 years old and has dominated for the last five years. If I can find even close to that kind of production out of Andrews for a late first-round pick then I’ve profited. The Ravens passed more often on first downs last year than at any point with Lamar Jackson at quarterback and with their defense potentially regressing, the passing volume could be even better in 2024.”
