One of the best ways to improve your roster in dynasty leagues is to buy when someone’s value is at its lowest. This requires a lot of speculation on your part about where you see a player’s future value heading. Everyone loves buying players before they explode, so here are some guys I like right now due to their current value and what I think they should be worth in dynasty leagues.

9 Dynasty Buy-Low Candidates in 2024

Bryce Young (QB – CAR)

Quarterbacks are a tricky one to evaluate in dynasty leagues. This is largely due to the two main options for leagues where you either start a single QB or you have the option to start a second one. Young’s dynasty Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR) of QB21 makes him a prime target for me regardless of the format though.

Young finished as QB23 last year, so this ranking makes sense to me. He wasn’t stellar, but Young’s stats make me think he can only improve. He was 20th in passing yards and 11th in rushing yards among quarterbacks. Now that they’ve added Diontae Johnson and rookie Xavier Legette, I think he’ll have a much better 2024. If that’s the case, Young’s price is going to go up, so buy now before that happens.

Javonte Williams (RB – DEN)

Contrary to popular belief, Williams is still the starter for the Broncos heading into the 2024 season. A lot of people are looking at rookie Audric Estime and last year’s surprise Jaleel McLaughlin as potential starters, but it’s still Williams’ job to lose. He’s currently ranked at RB25 in dynasty ECR, making him a very cheap option to add to your roster while other managers are distracted elsewhere.

Brian Robinson (RB – WAS)

Just behind Williams in ECR is Robinson at RB28. The Commanders added veteran RB Austin Ekeler who should be the starter, but Robinson should get his fair share of touches as well. Due to Ekeler’s age, he’s cheaper than Robinson, but due to Ekeler’s output for fantasy, he’s getting more attention. Robinson finished as RB21 overall last year in PPR and I wouldn’t be shocked if he finishes around there this year. Go grab him now before others in your league catch on.

Antonio Gibson (RB – NE)

Most dynasty managers are fed up with Gibson and ready to abandon ship if they haven’t already. Trust me, I get it. But I’m always a fan of every player at the right price, and for me, Gibson’s current ECR of RB49 is the right price. Rhamondre Stevenson is the clear starter, but with how bad the Patriots are, how long can Stevenson carry the team by himself? I am fully predicting that Gibson gets more carries than people expect and could be flex-worthy during some bye weeks, which makes him worth adding at his cost.

Zay Flowers (WR – BAL)

2023 wasn’t a stellar year for Flowers, finishing as WR31 overall in PPR scoring. He played in 16 games and got 77 catches on 108 targets, but the chaos on that offense sandbagged his fantasy production. With Mark Andrews coming back and the addition of Derrick Henry at running back, I think this offense opens up for Flowers down the field. He should see fewer double-teams this year. As long as he stays healthy, I think he can outperform his current ECR of WR21. In a year, he should be valued closer to Jaylen Waddle and DeVonta Smith, so buy now before his value jumps.

Mike Evans (WR – TB)

I know what you’re thinking already: Evans is old. He sure is, but he also finished as WR7 in PPR scoring last season while once again breaking 1,000 yards on the season. His dynasty ECR of WR33 is largely due to him turning 31 before the season starts. Dynasty managers love young players and tend to avoid older ones. I get that, but I’m fine buying the dip on Evans if I can contend this year. I think he will put up another top-20 WR season this year, so even if you’re not contending, you can trade him to someone who is during the season when they want to get some of those points for themselves. That’s a win-win for me.

Josh Downs (WR – IND)

Way down at WR53 in dynasty ECR is the Colts’ WR2 behind Michael Pittman, Josh Downs. Downs was somewhat mediocre as a rookie last year, but that was largely without stud QB Anthony Richardson under center. Richardson is back, which should help raise the value of the entire offense for fantasy purposes. I know that the team added another weapon in Adonai Mitchell, but I trust Downs to be the better of the two in 2024. Rookie receivers don’t often dominate immediately, so I’d rather buy low on the second-year option, who is primed to take off this year.

Dallas Goedert (TE – PHI)

Watching Goedert’s value tumble has been somewhat depressing, but given his output, I also understand it. The Eagles have been very high-powered under QB Jalen Hurts, but Goedert hasn’t exactly been the biggest recipient of that. On top of that, Goedert hasn’t played a full season since his rookie year in 2018. So a combination of injuries, his low production, and him being 29 all combined to make his dynasty ECR of TE13 feel about right to me. That being said, I think this could be a bounce-back year for him. I think he’s got one more TE1 finish in his range of outcomes, so I’m fine buying in now at his current price.

Cade Otton (TE – TB)

Last but not least on this list is the tight end in Tampa Bay, Cade Otton. Otton’s dynasty ECR of TE22 is a screaming value to me right now. The Buccaneers have a lot of depressed assets in the aforementioned Evans, fellow WR Chris Godwin and QB Baker Mayfield. Otton might be the one that I’m most interested in though. He finished as TE19 in PPR scoring last year and should perform better than that in his upcoming third season. We all know that tight ends can take time to adjust to the pro game, well now could be Otton’s time. His value is so low in some places that he’s one of the best buys of the offseason to me. Get him now before it’s too late.
