Dynasty Buy Low's/Sell Highs (1 Viewer)

I think Mahomes is a buy low. No one can question his talent. He has a QB1 season left in him
Agreed. At the very least you get a top 3 player in real life, which occasionally comes through in fantasy. He’s looking a lot like Tom Brady right now, who was rarely a top guy in fantasy but you could just plug him in every year and he’d occasionally get there. I wouldn’t Trade for Mahomes if I’m building but if I want to lock up the position and not sweat it, he’s one of the guys you can do that with.
 
I'm still a believer in Breece Hall's talent so he could be a buy low candidate.

I don't own Saquon Barkley anywhere, but I would consider selling him high if I did.
Fwiw, I made basically this deal before the season (Saquon and Kelce for Breece). I fully expected Saquon to do well although he exceeded my expectations. But I was trying to rebuild and expected more from Breece.
I happen to be in the SB anyway, so maybe it worked out :shrug:
 
Dalton Kincaid

73/673/2 his rookie year wasn’t exciting, but it was promising for a rookie TE. He’s going to produce less this year, so his managers might be getting impatient.
I can see him improving next year, but don’t see his ceiling that high. Maybe top 5 to 10 at best at the position. A far cry from preseason when we were hoping/expecting him to move up to the McBride/LaPorta range (pre-Bowers$

Kincaid owner here. Give me a top 6 rookie pick and he’s yours. A late first maybe. Wouldn’t go lower than that.

If they get him a different right tackle or left guard he’ll be just fine. They need to sign Hollywood Brown, too. He needs a piece or two.

I'd move him for a top 6 pick for sure, would consider any 1st.

My 2023 1st round pick: Kincaid
2024 1st round pick: Bowers

I also have Mark Andrews.
 
I don't own Saquon Barkley anywhere, but I would consider selling him high if I did.

I'm pondering this honestly. Thing is, I'm still a contender next year. Missed the championship this year and if I had won it, I probably would be thinking about selling him harder. If I do sell him, I know that it would be better in the long run most likely, but also harder to win in 2025.

I own Saquon as well... in the Championship and capable of it next year. For me, it would all depend on the return. Who would you target for Saquon? Top tier WR or a combo of 2nd tier rb and wr?
 
Josh Jacobs is one guy I was trying to sell high on. Not that I don't think he can repeat this year as I think that O is built for him, but I think his workload get cut into next year.

I think I’d be trying to get younger, especially with the depth of good RBs in this draft. So a 1st/capable starter?

I'm nervous about Barkley too for next year, as I would with anyone with an historic season that stayed healthy all year. A lot more wear and tear from this year and he'll be 28 in February. He may be a cyborg like King Henry, but his value will never be higher.

I think you would target a young rb like achane or Bucky+

I'm not being after the fact jack when I say that I was voicing concerns for CMC heading into this season with those concerns being he was 28 and coming off a 19 games season where he logged a career high 417 touches.

Barkley right now has already surpassed his career high in carries by 50 and career high in total touches by 26 and he's absolutely gointo end up playing the most games of his career with 1-5 games left. Even he sits next week and they make the NFC championship game he'd likely end up in the 450 touch range. That's concerning as could be for next season IMO.

I got Barkely on one dynasty team and that team needs a talent infusion, especially at RB. I'd have tried to trade him in the season but I came down to the last week in a h2h for a playoff spot so held on. I believe I'm going to have picks 6-8 in round one. I know already I'm going to be looking at Barkley and what else I might have to give, with those picks and some others as bait, to move up to 1.1.

I'm not sure anyone is doing this though. Why would the Achane team want to lose all those years on a stud RB? I don't see the + on Bucky being very much either.

I think it would be easier to move him for something like DJ Moore/1st, then target a RB in this draft.

Buy lows QBs:

Kirk Cousins
Justin Fields
Trevor Lawrence

There are 5 or more unsettled QB positions for next year and minimal options available in the draft. Cousins and fields want to start, can be fringe fantasy QB1s on the right team, and accepted their demotion about as well as they could. I am probably in the minority now but I believe TLaw will flourish once he gets in the right situation. I envision a baker-like arc to his career, maybe without the team changes.

Buy low WRs:

Rome Odunze
Christian Kirk
Alec Pierce
Rashid Shaheed

Rome wasn’t built in a day. He was kind of lost in the shuffle of an insane rookie class. We knew he wouldn’t put up insane numbers right away but he showed me enough. Kirk could be a great complement to BTJ. Pierce is flashing but his value will stay low until he gets out of Indy. Buy now and wait, I could see him making a big splash as a FA eventually. Shaheed routinely produced like the best wr in NO. Meanwhile, Olave is WR22 on ktc vs 52 for Rashid.

Buy low RBs

Blake Corum
Trey Benson
Marshall Lloyd

Youth is key at RB. You shouldn’t need to spend a lot on any of these. They were 2nd round rookie picks that maybe can be had for 3rds. This years rookie RBs will be strong and deep, so I’m anticipating some owners will want to reroll. I hesitate to add brooks to this list, but if you are willing to accept the risk why not.

Guy in our 14 team dynasty has both. He also has Hurts and AJ Brown so don't think he wants all Phi guys unfortunately.
 
Anyone else think MHJ is a buy "low" right now? 57/822/7 with one game to go is a solid rookie season and I'm sure his 1.01 or 1.02 drafters are disappointed with it.
MH owner here. Disappointed sure. But we’re not going blue light special. This might be your chance to trade AJ brown for him. Or 2-3 mid-late 1sts.

Cousins is a huge dilemma. He might retire. He might go somewhere and suck. He might sign with Seattle and throw 35 TD. Who knows. I own him in one dynasty league (I took Daniels as his successor this year and got Nix in the 3rd too) and TBH I would sell real cheap right now.

Benson and Lloyd are my targets during draft season. Like you said I hope owners get infatuated with shiny new toys and I can acquire these guys for value.

I am guessing almost all Odunze owners have this same view. I don't see him as someone that you can buy low on but you may be able to buy now where a better season and you may not have been able to. The hope is that Chicago brings in a competent offensive coach and they get some O-Line help. Caleb showed a nice rapport with Odunze around the end zone. i think there is a lot of potential there and would be willing to buy at basically full price. I think he is more of a buy at cost guy because i don't think he will be able to be bought low.

Some of Rome’s value - at least next year - may also be contingent on the return of Keenan Allen, who is aging but still has a style that ages well and command targets.

I don't think Allen hurts Rome as much as it will be assumed it will. Odunze fit a role that Allen wasn't used as and seemed to have a connection with Caleb. Mostly around the endzone for jump ball type plays. I see a redzone go to guy moving forward that will only get better.
 
Selling cheap on promising rookies who didn’t light the league on fire is a hallmark of a badly managed dynasty team.
And yet, people do it every year. It's our job to find the managers that will unload them.

I've bought low on disappointing rookies year after year.

I assume MHJ isn't a huge discount. But he's not currently viewed the same as he was 8 months ago. A little shine is off the diamond.
People had Rome above BTJ and even Nabers in some cases. There are probably some owners that are a little impatient that THEIR shiny toy wasn't producing this year.

The whole buy low/sell high is half the dynasty game. Go make some offers. Worst anyone can do is tell you no.
 
Buy Tillman depending on price ? Ended season missing 4 games minimum for a concussion. Must have been a bad one or they are slyly keeping him out till next year to help tank in small ways where they can. Either way, when last fit he exploded for a run of games and showed he could be part of a 1-2 punch with a semi reasonable QB throwing wise.

Agreed - Rome was the downfield guy while Moore and Keenan were the underneath/mid range guys. Hopefully the next coach expands Rome’s route trees. My only concern is one more mouth to feed.

IIRC, the Browns made some comments committing to Watson for next season. I'm not really excited to own anyone on the Browns offense if that is indeed the case.

Certainly see what the price is, but if they're wanting more than like a 3rd, I'm probably not too excited.
 
You may try to buy low on Pearsall.

I know that may sound dumb after he had 140 yards last night. But as of today, Deebo and Aiyuk are on the roster. Even if people believe one of them is leaving, the price goes way up the moment it is official.

He looked INCREDIBLE last night. He was very smooth running routes and with the ball in his hands. I think he's going to be a very good football player for a long time.

The price went up last night, but it goes up even more this Summer. I'd be interested to see what the price is as of today.

Where did you see this? Everything I’ve read says that Watson will most likely not play another down for the Browns.

Like this:

The Athletic’s Zac Jackson writes that Deshaun Watson “is almost certain to never play a meaningful down for the Browns again.”

Jackson further writes the Browns are “pretty much starting from scratch at quarterback in the spring.” Ian Rapoport linked the Browns to Aaron Rodgers and Kirk Cousins as “competition” in 2025. But perhaps Watson has not even earned the benefit of the doubt to be competition after three lost years in Cleveland and a long-term recovery from his torn Achilles. Complicating matters is that the Browns have a shot at the No. 1 pick and will likely pick No. 2 or No. 3 after their Week 18 game against the Ravens, one in which Baltimore needs to win to clinch the AFC North. Baltimore is favored by 18 points.

Not sure I believe anything coming out of Browns just now. Looks like they MIGHT have been handed the only way to possibly work their way out of this mess, if they lose their last game. A rookie QB is the only financial way to work around Watson and bring some excitement back to the organisation. Cam Ward ?

Not that I’ve heard good things about this rookie QB crop but would be hard to be worse than Watson

Interesting, i own all these guys in one place or another. I had hoped they would get more looks, but didn't acquire them with 2024 in mind. 2025 outlook is concerning I'll admit. Each are an injury away from potential RB1 production. If you have them I am not sure why you would sell cheaper than what they cost to acquire.
 
Can scarcely believe I’m writing this one but a potential sell high could be Jameson Williams. Detroit would be very unlikely to be as injury ravaged on D again. There’s been a necessity to go all out O these last 3-4 weeks and Jamo has consistently balled out as a result. Our need to be throwing the ball everywhere isn’t likely to change against Vikings and any playoff opponent, if he continues his good run this could be as consistent a peak as he will get. He’s always going to be capable of exploding but Lions were on a run of grinding teams out when the D was fit and there was more up and downs.

I should also add that a mid season trade for Amon-Ra has me personally wondering about this in an attempt to diversify

A rookie QB who quit on his team mid bowl game would a perfect fit for the Browns.

If Jamo balls out through the playoffs and someone brings a nice offer to the table, sure, I’d definitely consider it. But that’d be selling an ascending player, which isn’t my usual preference.

Maybe two late 1sts, but another season like this one and that goes away.

There are few things I am sure of in this world, but I am sure Watson will not be the week 1 starter in 2025

I have Jeudy in each of my leagues. I will not be pursuing swapping him for Tillman and I recommend those pursuing him bake that into expectations.

I think trading for Jj McCarthy is a better option.

I won a ship with him 👍

But to the other points, I would not trade two 1's for him right now in my other leagues. Much more roster construction than the player though.
 
Buy low RBs

Blake Corum
Trey Benson
Marshall Lloyd
I sure hope so on the last two because I got them on the my most RB starved team. Managed to make the final 4 of FFPC format getting right about 8 PPR points on the season from my RB2 which was mainly handled by Jaleel, Roschon and Bigsby. Then lost Kamara and finished a distant dead last in the final 4 playoffs.

What's made the situation worse for me I'm guilty of the cardinal sin of drafting for need in this last draft and being entirely to focused all season long on allocating my FA money for RB help. And I by and large struck out. And got pick 9, guessing by time I pick 5-6 RB's will be gone.

Anyway I took Benson and Lloyd due to drafting for need and need them badly I do, but I can't say I share your optimism. Re-signing Conner was a big blow to me regarding Benson. Lloyd's pretty much a total unknown but hard to see him as anything other then a COP/handcuff role as his ceiling. I won't disagree these two could be good buy lows, but I would have to pay a lot less draft capital in this years draft vs what was paid for these players last year. That's due to performance of the entrenched veteran RB's this season for on all of their teams, and the depth of this years class more then actually anything negative they showed, but just the same none of them really showed much in the way of a positive either.
 
Anyone else think MHJ is a buy "low" right now? 57/822/7 with one game to go is a solid rookie season and I'm sure his 1.01 or 1.02 drafters are disappointed with it.
MH owner here. Disappointed sure. But we’re not going blue light special. This might be your chance to trade AJ brown for him. Or 2-3 mid-late 1sts.
Huh? No one is giving 2 firsts for MH, let alone 3.
I’d absolutely give this two 2025 1.07-1.12 picks for him.
I guess I’m gonna look to buy where I don’t have him.

I know it’s early, but I wouldn’t trade him for any WR in this draft straight up. I’d probably trade him straight up for Jeanty though.

To get him, I’d probably send a mid and a late 1st.
 
With the season quickly approaching, I thought it was a perfect time to look into this.

Who is a value?
Who do you want to get rid of?

Buy low:
Waddle. Owners have to be frustrated. He had 3 straight 1,000 yard seasons before this year. Tua's injury definitely hurt. He hasn't been quite as good even with Tua
He’s also been super injury prone.

In the preseason I mentioned how there’s always at least 1 catch/tackle where he goes limping off every game, usually more than 1.

Not saying he’s soft, but he’s one of those dudes you hold your breath over every game.

And he’s always a risk of leaving a game early which is a killer for FF.

Imma let others buy low on him.

Michael Pittman Jr. Just a brutal season for such a talented WR. He's only 27. Either Richardson takes the jump or they have to move on at QB.
Rashee Rice: Between injuries and Worthy's good play, people are surely a little down. He was SO good at the start of the season. I'd at least see what the price is. Buying high now=buying low tomorrow
I like Pittman a lot. Roster him in a league. That last game with Flacco showed just how wasted a talent he is in INDY right now. Hopefully ARich learns to look for him.

agree there’s some opportunity here.
ETN: Between injury and Bigsby, it hasn't been his year. He's had back to back 1,000 yard rushing seasons (granted last year was also very inefficient). He may have to wind up elsewhere. But I have to imagine the price is way down.
I sold on ETN towards the end of the season. I was one of the highest on him on these forums, but it sure looks like Bigsby is overtaking the lead role. At best it’s a split backfield, and a weekly headache where both RB cap each other’s value. The best bet with ETN getting a value bump is a Bigsby injury and you can’t really depend on that.

I’ll toss out Pitts. This might finally be the time you can buy low on him. I’m a hold in the one league I have a share, but with Pennix behind center & an up & coming offense, I still believe there’s a post-post-post hype breakout coming.
 
I think Mahomes is a buy low. No one can question his talent. He has a QB1 season left in him
Agreed. At the very least you get a top 3 player in real life, which occasionally comes through in fantasy. He’s looking a lot like Tom Brady right now, who was rarely a top guy in fantasy but you could just plug him in every year and he’d occasionally get there. I wouldn’t Trade for Mahomes if I’m building but if I want to lock up the position and not sweat it, he’s one of the guys you can do that with.
The challenge with Mahomes - and honestly the most frustrating part - is that he’s absolutely *capable* of a 50 TD / 5K yard season.

And he has the weapons to achieve a 50 TD / 5K yard season.

But the Chiefs have a mostly young & talented defense. Karlaftis is developing into an elite pass rusher, and the Chiefs don’t get into the shootouts they did in Mahomes early career.

They also like to run the ball, and they’re good at it.

Mahomes just doesn’t have to throw 300+ / 5 TD a game any more because they’re a more balanced offense. And with that defense they are rarely playing from behind enough to abandon the run.

Early in his career the chiefs defense was raggedy & they had Tyreek Hill. It was such a different situation.

As for buying low, I’m skeptical that owners are selling low - most are still optimistic that he’ll return to the ranks of the FF elite production-wise.

IMO he’s far more likely to continue to put up 26-30 TD / 3500-4K seasons than he is to get back to 41-50 TD seasons.

I just sold him last offseason coming off a 27 TD season and got back Herbert + Nico, with a 1st on top.

I can’t imagine anyone selling lower than that since there’s still a lot of optimism that he’s going to return to the glory days of 2018-2021

I mean, it could happen. I’m just skeptical that it will. But hey, if the owners in your leagues are selling low, I don’t mind buying - he might not give you top 3 QB numbers, but his consistency is very valuable. I just see him more as a high floor QB than high ceiling.

It’ll also be interesting to see how losing Kelce will impact him. Don’t know when that’ll be but it can’t be more than a year or two.
