Odell Beckham Jr. is arguably the top dynasty asset in the NFL
Here’s a look at the top dynasty assets for the NFC East.
Dallas Cowboys
Ezekiel Elliott (RB – DAL)
The consensus top pick in rookie drafts, Elliott should be in the first-round conversation for years to come. Blessed with perhaps the best running back situation in the league, Elliott is already a top 10 pick in early MFL10s.
Dez Bryant is more of a proven commodity, but finding a top running back is becoming increasingly difficult. Due to scarcity at the position and an extremely high ceiling, Elliott is the clear choice. Barring injury, he has league-winning potential and he turns 21 in July. There aren’t many better dynasty assets right now than Elliott.

New York Giants
Odell Beckham Jr. (WR – NYG)
Elliott’s stock is soaring, but Beckham’s is even higher. He’s arguably the top wide receiver and top overall player in dynasty.
You know the story by now. In two seasons (27 games), he has 187 receptions, 2,755 yards and 25 touchdowns. That’s an average of about seven catches, 102 yards and a touchdown per game.
And it’s not just the numbers, but it’s also how good he looks while putting them up. Whether it’s the insane athleticism or highlight reel catches, Beckham consistently finds ways to make you say “wow.”
Plus, he won’t turn 24 until November. No other Giant comes close to matching his dynasty value.
Philadelphia Eagles
Jordan Matthews (WR – PHI)
Of all the teams in the NFC, the Eagles have one of the least enviable situations when it comes to dynasty assets. Jordan Matthews gets the nod since he does at least have back-to-back seasons with over 100 targets, and he could very well gain over 1,000 yards and score double-digit touchdowns.
I’m not the biggest fan of Matthews, but he’s the Eagles player I’d expect to fetch the best trade offer. Carson Wentz is a consideration, but there are plenty of question marks about him and no one knows if/when he’ll be able to help your team with Sam Bradford still in town.
Zach Ertz was also a possibility, but his inconsistency works against him. He’s teased us with some huge games, but he’s been a no-show more often than a superstar.
After that, the only options are other young, unproven guys like Nelson Agholor, Wendell Smallwood or the oft-injured Ryan Mathews.
I personally would avoid all of these guys at their current draft position, but if I had to pick one I’d take Jordan Matthews. He’s still young (24 in July), and he should be a useful every-week starter.
Washington Redskins
Jordan Reed (TE – WAS)
This was a two-man race, and I wouldn’t have any issue with someone choosing Josh Doctson over Reed. It would largely depend on whether you want to win now or play for the future.
Those of you keeping track of our offseason dynasty content know I think Jordan Reed is the second best dynasty tight end. His health is a question mark, but he’s proven to be a useful player when he’s in the lineup. In 2015, he caught more passes than every tight end except Delanie Walker, and he had the same number of touchdowns as Rob Gronkowski. He’s an elite player at his position right now.
Doctson is very talented, but it might be difficult for the rookie to see the field this season. He’ll have to earn playing time next to DeSean Jackson, Pierre Garcon and Jamison Crowder. He might do that, but unless I’m completely in rebuilding mode I’d prefer the proven elite tight end over an unproven receiver without a clear path to playing time.
