After a week without football (unless you count whatever the Pro Bowl has become), we are officially heading toward the Super Bowl. While it’s a massive week for betting and DFS, the Super Bowl is not a great time for classic fantasy football formats — after all, it’s just a one-game slate. But that doesn’t mean we can’t still be thinking about fantasy.

I like using this time when everyone is still feeling the football itch but before the offseason truly kicks off to make some dynasty fantasy football trades. Here are three dynasty moves to make before the Super Bowl this Sunday.

Dynasty Fantasy Football Trades to Make 

Buy A.J. Brown (WR – PHI)

Let’s start with a player who will be featured in the Big Game this year. This was a down season for A.J. Brown, who finished as just the WR18 in half-PPR formats after finishing as a top-seven receiver in both of his first two years in Philadelphia. As a result, his dynasty stock has fallen. The 27-year-old is just the WR14 in KeepTradeCut’s (KTC) crowdsourced Dynasty rankings. That is simply too low for one of the best receivers in the league.

After all, essentially everything that could have possibly gone wrong for Brown this season did. Most obviously, he missed time with a hamstring injury early in the season. On a per-game basis, he was the WR11. But even that WR1 ranking undersells what Brown brings to the table. The bigger issue for Brown’s production was that the Eagles, with Saquon Barkley, an elite offensive line and a dominant defense hardly ever threw the ball. They ranked dead last in the league with a 44% pass rate.

Looking at per-route stats accounts for this issue, and shows Brown for what he truly is: One of the absolute best receivers in the league. Among receivers with at least 200 routes run (per Fantasy Points Data), Brown ranked second in fantasy points per route behind only volume god Puka Nacua. Nacua is also the only player to beat Brown’s 3.22 yards per route run — no other qualified receiver reached even 3.00 this season.

Of course, per-route stats should be taken with a grain of salt. They can be influenced by usage, especially for part-time players (if we reduce our route qualifier to 100 routes, Marvin Mims beats out both Nacua and Brown in fantasy points per route). But the idea of Brown as a legit top-tier receiver passes the sniff test. He’s running a full complement of routes (his 89% participation rate was one of the highest in the league), so we can’t accuse him of being a usage merchant.

Brown also ranked second in Pro Football Focus (PFF) receiving grade and first overall in ESPN’s receiver tracking metrics. Brown has ranked either first or second in ESPN’s rankings, which use tracking data to grade receivers in terms of getting open, at the catch point and yards after the catch, in each of the last three years.

Haters and losers might argue these are all stats from the past, and we have to look forward when discussing dynasty value. But Brown isn’t that old at just 27 and a half years old. And we can expect the Eagles’ absurdly low pass rate to regress toward the mean in 2025 and beyond. If any one of Barkley, their offensive line or their defense takes a step back, we will immediately be reminded that Brown is a truly elite receiver for both real-life and fantasy purposes. Now is the time to get him on your roster, preferably before he potentially destroys the Chiefs on the biggest stage imaginable.

Buy Najee Harris (RB – FA)

I know, I know. I’m not any happier than you moving straight from A.J. Brown to Najee Harris. But the free-agent running back, once the most overvalued dynasty asset in the entire league, is undeniably undervalued at this point in his career. If we look back at KeepTradeCut, Harris is the RB26. That might not sound too bad until you realize it lands him right in between Trey Benson and J.K. Dobbins. Harris is no cornerstone asset, but I would easily rather have him on my dynasty roster than either of those backs.

For one, Harris is nowhere near as bad of a player as parts of the fantasy community would lead you to believe. He ranked 13th among 31 backs with at least 150 rushing attempts in PFF rush grade this season. His advanced stats were more mixed, as he ranked low in yards after contact, well in PFF’s elusive rating and almost exactly average in NFL Next Gen Stats’ yards vs. expected.

Once we consider Harris he was PFF’s 11th-highest-graded pass-blocker among 54 qualified running backs and that he also posted an above-average 1.30 yards per route run mark, Harris is undeniably at least an average NFL running back. He also posted these numbers on big volume without recording a single fumble, something that will stand out to NFL decision-makers.

That point leads me to my second big argument in favor of Harris: As a free agent, he is going to go somewhere that wants him. This year’s rookie class of running backs is loaded, putting the jobs of many veteran running backs in jeopardy, but whoever signs Harris will almost certainly do so to make him their lead back. Harris will almost certainly be the highest-paid running back in this year’s free-agent market.

Unlike other veteran backs who have signed big contracts in recent years (remember Miles Sanders?), Harris should be competent enough to at least hold his job. That sets the 26-year-old up to see plenty of volume in 2025, at the minimum. That’s not something that can be said about many backs at all at this moment in time. Most of the backs that statement does apply to are much, much more expensive than Harris. However, we have to move fast — once the season is officially over, the dynasty market will look toward free agency and realize the former first-rounder is about to walk into a starting job, pushing his price up. Use our dynasty trade calculator to get a feel for Harris’ value.

Buy Chris Olave (WR – NO)

Like Brown and Harris, Chris Olave is currently undervalued due to an underwhelming 2024 season. He only played six full games, as his season ended early with a concussion that caused him to miss the final 10 weeks of the season. I’m not here to say a concussion that serious isn’t a red flag for Olave’s future, especially once we consider it was his fourth in just three years. But the dynasty community has overreacted, as Olave has dropped to WR23 on KTC.

Some fantasy managers are likely worried Olave, especially if he suffers another concussion, will be forced to retire early. But that’s simply not a thing we have precedent for. Indeed, we have precedent for the opposite, as there are plenty of players who moved past serious concussion issues to have long NFL careers.

We can even look at former Saints wide receiver Brandin Cooks, who was considered a retirement risk after he suffered multiple concussions in 2017. He is still in the league at 31 years old. Unless we hear directly from Olave that retirement is even on the table, the best course of action is to assume he will be playing football in 2025 and beyond.

Once we make that assumption, it becomes clear Olave is undervalued. After all, we are talking about a 24-year-old wideout who has never posted lower than a 24% target per route run rate, 2.18 yards per route run or an 82.9 PFF receiving grade in his career. These aren’t truly elite numbers, but they’re very, very good. Olave is also in a solid situation on a team with a bad defense, a decent quarterback and no real path to adding competition for his No. 1 WR spot.

At the end of the day, Olave came into the season ranked as a borderline top-10 dynasty receiver. I was out on him at that price, but now the pendulum has swung too far in the other direction. Unfounded concerns over a potential medical retirement are depressing his value, but they won’t last long once the season is over and we get our first quote from him about coming back better than ever in 2025. With that in mind, now is the moment to inquire about adding Olave in your dynasty leagues.
