Since I recently wrote about the players to buy low in dynasty, it’s only fair that I write about the other side of the coin. These players are valued at or above where I think they should be, meaning you can trade them away and get a lot in return in most leagues. It can be hard to sell someone so good, but it’s often better to get out at the top rather than hold on until the player is worth nothing. Here are the players I’m moving and letting someone else take on their risk instead.

Dynasty Sell-High Candidates in 2024
Josh Allen (QB – BUF)
FantasyPros’ Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR) has Allen as the top QB in dynasty. He finished as QB1 last year, bringing many positives to the table. To me, he feels like the prime candidate for this list. Allen is valued highly in the community and you should be able to tier down and add another significant asset to your team in the process.
The main reason I’m interested in selling high on Allen is because the Bills offense concerns me a little. Stud WR Stefon Diggs is on the Texans now and rookie WR Keon Coleman has some big shoes to fill. RB James Cook returns along with TE Dalton Kincaid, but I’m not sure this offense got better since last year. If anything, it got worse, and that put a target on Allen’s back. The best part of Allen’s allure is his rushing ability, but without weapons downfield, those rushes could be limited. I’m out if I can get a haul in return.
Christian McCaffrey (RB – SF)
Everyone is aware of the production cliff regarding running backs 28 and older. Even though McCaffrey finished as the RB1 by over 100 PPR points last year, he turned 28 in June. Will this be the beginning of the end for him or will he be the exception that proves the rule? McCaffrey’s ECR of RB4 is already beginning to trend downward from his ECR of RB1 last year.
If I can get full value in a trade for McCaffrey, I’m trading him away as soon as possible. The track record for running backs being reliable after they hit 28 is just too short for me to risk it. Even on a player as good as CMC. I’d rather get out now than be left holding the bag on his value as it heads south.
De’Von Achane (RB – MIA)
I know that Achane only played in 11 games last year, but in those games, he was electric. His RB24 overall finish seems low, but Achane’s RB5 finish with 17.3 PPR points per game tells a different story. Teammate Raheem Mostert finished as RB4 in points per game with 17.8, so the Dolphins are just crazy about running the ball. Why am I advising you to sell ECR RB7 Achane now?
For me, it’s all about future potential. The Dolphins drafted another running back, Jaylen Wright, who could eat into Achane’s upside as soon as this season. They also extended Mostert for another year. All of this points to more downside than upside for the 22-year-old Achane. It’s not that he can’t do it, I’m more worried if the team will allow Achane to. Given how chaotic the running back position is for fantasy, I’m fine selling Achane for something more stable as we head into 2024 if I can.
Trey Benson (RB – ARI)
Marvin Harrison (WR – ARI)
These rookie teammates both make my list because they’re being valued at what I think is their ceiling. Rookies are always fun to watch and speculate about, but more often than not, they disappoint in their first season. Benson is ranked as RB16 in ECR. This is likely because he’s scheduled to take over the rushing duties for aging veteran James Conner, but we don’t exactly know when that will occur. Will it be Week 1 or Week 14? That, along with his ACL tear in college, has me worried that he might be a mirage for fantasy.
Fellow rookie Harrison has me worried for different reasons. His ECR of WR5 reminds me of what dynasty managers were doing with WRs N’Keal Harry and Jaxon Smith-Njigba when they entered the league. Could Harrison be worth WR5 prices? Of course. But for now, that’s not based on anything tangible. The Cardinals’ offense would need to be in perfect form for that to be correct and I’m just worried that they have a long way to go before they’re that consistent. I’m fine buying rookies, but at that these prices. I’d rather sell and get an asset or two in return that feels more secure.
Tyreek Hill (WR – MIA)
The only other receiver that makes this list for me is the cheetah himself. Hill is ranked as WR11 in ECR right now, and that feels about right. However, many dynasty managers still value him as a top-10 dynasty asset overall. If one of them is in your league, now is your time to strike. In addition, if you’re not contending and he’s on your roster for some reason, this is the time to make a move off of him. He may have one more stellar year in him, but I wouldn’t expect too much past 2024 from a fantasy standpoint. Get out now while you can trade him for multiple younger pieces or picks.
Dalton Kincaid (TE – BUF)
Last but not least is Allen’s teammate and likely number one target: Dalton Kincaid. It’s not that I don’t think Kincaid is talented, he is. It’s more related to that offense just not being as predictable as it has been in years past. When it comes to tight ends, I like to either have one of the top-tier studs or a collection of cheaper assets with upside. Kincaid isn’t really what I would consider a stud (yet) and also, he isn’t cheap. Instead, I’d rather move off of him for multiple players that can help my team better. I just think his ECR of TE4 will seem crazy in six months, so I’d rather get out now while I still can.
