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.

Top Dynasty Trade Targets: Buy
Which player are you buying now in dynasty leagues and why? Also, what are you willing to give up to get him?
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.”

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.”
