Dynasty Values to Target
Let’s check out the top dynasty fantasy football values to target.
New York Jets: WR Allen Lazard | ADP: 168.50 (WR70)
Allen Lazard figures to slide in as the WR2 in the Jets’ base offense. While he won’t get the volume that his teammate Garrett Wilson will, Lazard has the built-in familiarity with new Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Lazard won’t turn 28 until December this season. While he might not be an ascending asset, he will see plenty of valuable looks for the Jets this season and likely next season. It’d be too bullish to assume that Lazard could post 1,000 receiving yards this year, but 800 yards and a handful of touchdowns is not out of the question.
Philadelphia Eagles: RB Rashaad Penny | ADP: 135.67 (RB43)
The Eagles signed Rashaad Penny in Free Agency this offseason, and there was a moment when it looked like the value might spiral out of control. Since then, the Eagles have also traded for former Detroit Lions runner D’Andre Swift. Strangely it’s an almost ideal scenario for both players. We know how good the offense and the scheme can be, but both players have dealt with injury concerns. Maybe the ceiling is capped from what it could have been if they weren’t sharing the backfield. However, if they both stay healthy thanks to limited opportunities, there’s a chance we can see both be fantasy relevant for a high-powered Eagles offense.
Pittsburgh Steelers: WR George Pickens | ADP: 66.00 (WR34)
George Pickens is another player who might not be going excessively late but whose price tag might only go up from here. By this time next season, there’s a real chance we’re talking about Pickens as a top-20 option at wide receiver, if not higher. He could emerge as the de facto No. 1 wide receiver on the Steelers this year. He’s already demonstrated chemistry with Kenny Pickett, and you should be looking to scoop up as many Pickens shares for WR3 prices as possible this summer.
