With the NFL Draft rapidly approaching, there’s still a lot of change coming to the fantasy football landscape. The key to winning dynasty 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 or sell in dynasty fantasy football leagues. Here’s our latest dynasty trade advice.

Top Dynasty Trade Advice
Which player are you buying now in dynasty leagues and why? Also, what are you willing to give up to get him?
Trey Benson (RB – ARI)
“I’m buying Trey Benson, the Cardinals’ second-year running back, in dynasty leagues. With James Conner turning 30 in 2025 and coming off a heavy workload, Benson’s poised for a breakout as Arizona’s potential lead back. His rookie flashes and athletic profile make him a high-upside stash. I’d give up a mid-to-late second-round 2025 pick or a veteran like Chris Godwin or Jaylen Waddle to snag him before his value climbs.”

D’Andre Swift (RB – CHI)
“Buy D’Andre Swift right now. The Bears have spent the offseason thus far completely overhauling their offensive line, which was simply horrendous in 2024. Not only will these upgrades help Caleb Williams stay on his feet, but they might actually give him a running game, too. Swift was solid in his first year with the Bears, recording six touchdowns with 959 rushing yards on a career-high 253 attempts. For his career, Swift had never finished below 4 yards per attempt before 2024. With an improved offensive line and an offensive guru now in place as his head coach, things could be pretty sweet for Swift. This includes the possibility of the Bears drafting a running back early in a few weeks’ time. A 2nd round pick straight up or a 3rd plus a player such as Jalen McMillan or Calvin Ridley could make a deal happen.”

Ladd McConkey (WR – LAC)
“Ladd McConkey had an outstanding rookie year, ending the season as the WR12, averaging 12.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He finished the year on fire, averaging 17.3 fantasy points per game over the final seven regular season contests and the lone playoff matchup, scoring at least 11.3 or more in every outing. More importantly, McConkey will remain Justin Herbert‘s No. 1 option in the passing game after the Los Angeles Chargers didn’t trade for DK Metcalf or Tee Higgins. The former Georgia star should have several more years as a WR1 in his future. I would happily trade away Jaxon Smith-Njigba or Brian Thomas Jr. for McConkey.”

Tyreek Hill (WR – MIA)
“I’m targeting Tyreek Hill in some of my PPR leagues. Hill just turned 31 and is coming off his worst fantasy season since his rookie year. A lot of dynasty managers are dying to get rid of him, especially with all of the drama around him. That makes him a viable trade candidate in my eyes. Whether Hill gets traded or not, I think he’s still got one or two good years left, and if I can buy him at a discount on a contending team, I’m fine doing so. In some league,s you might even be able to get him for a second-round rookie pick as your draft gets closer.”
– Andrew Hall (FantasyPros)
Cole Kmet (TE – CHI)
“This seems like a good time to make a subtle offer for Bears TE Cole Kmet — or look to get Kmet thrown into a larger deal. Kmet just had his least productive season (47 catches, 474 yards, four TDs) since his rookie year in 2020, but it’s easy to understand why. The Bears had three good wide receivers — D.J. Moore, Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze — and a rookie quarterback, Caleb Williams, who struggled to get his bearings. It was destined to be a down year for Kmet. Now, Allen is out of the picture, and Williams should be better in his second season, especially now that he has a credible offensive mentor in new head coach Ben Johnson. It’s worth remembering that Lions TE Sam LaPorta had a huge rookie season in 2023 in Johnson’s offense. See if you can get Kmet for a third-rounder or a young RB whose path to a fantasy-relevant role is blocked, such as Blake Corum or Isaac Guerendo.”
– Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros)
Kenneth Walker (RB – SEA)
“I want to trade for Kenneth Walker where I possibly can. Walker enters a contract year primed for a possible career-best season. His combination of tackle-breaking ability and three-down usage could lead to a monster 2025 season. Last year, among 45 qualifying backs, Walker ranked third in first downs per route run, sixth in target per route run rate, and sixth in receiving yards per game (per Fantasy Points Data). I’d be willing to give up a mid to late 2025 first-round rookie pick to get him.”
– Derek Brown (FantasyPros)
Jaylen Wright (RB – MIA)
“After Tua went down, the Dolphins’ offense sank quicker than the Titanic. Hopefully, Tua can stay healthy, but even if he can’t, Jaylen Wright should be looking at a bigger role. Raheem Mostert and Jeff Wilson were released during the offseason, setting the stage for Wright to join De’Von Achane in Miami’s RBBC. Wright’s blazing speed, illustrated by his 4.38 forty time at the combine, led to plenty of long runs in college. And if anything happens to De’Von Achane, lookout! Ringo would trade DeAndre Swift, Najee Harris, J.K. Dobbins, or Tyjae Spears for Wright.”
– Mark Ringo (Sleepers and Busts)
Juwan Johnson (TE – NO)
“The Saints re-signed Juwan Johnson to a three-year $30m deal this offseason, and he could turn out to be an excellent value for fantasy football. Over the last few years, we’ve seen tight ends shine in Kellen Moore’s offenses, with Dallas Goedert having a productive 2024 despite injuries. Dalton Schultz also had three very solid years under Moore in 2020-2022. Tight ends feature heavily under Moore, particularly around the red zone, and if the Saints don’t add a tight end highly in the draft, then Johnson will be a popular candidate to buy at a higher price than the third-round pick it would cost you right now.”
