Several factors go into building a consistently elite dynasty team. One of those is identifying the top player on every NFL team. Another is knowing which players you should trade away before their fantasy value decreases.
Typically the starting quarterback is the top dynasty asset on every NFL team in superflex leagues. However, they are rarely the top asset in 1QB leagues. To help you build the best dynasty team possible, I will identify the top dynasty asset and sell candidates for every NFL team.
Today I break down the AFC West teams: the Denver Broncos, Kansas City Chiefs, Las Vegas Raiders and Los Angeles Chargers.

The Top Dynasty Asset
Here are the top dynasty assets for each AFC West team.
Javonte Williams (RB – DEN)
Unfortunately, Williams suffered a severe season-ending knee injury in Week 4 last season. However, the former North Carolina star was on pace for another productive year, averaging 10.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game before the injury. Furthermore, Williams showed more potential in the passing game than as a rookie. He averaged 2.5 receptions per game in 2021 before seeing that number jump to four receptions per contest last season. More importantly, the young running back appears on track to play in Week 1. While the injury likely won’t be 100% behind him until the 2024 season, Williams remains a top-15 dynasty running back.
Patrick Mahomes (QB – KC)
The Chiefs have two future Hall of Fame players on offense in Mahomes and Travis Kelce. However, the superstar tight end turns 34 during the 2023 season and could retire as early as next offseason. Yet, don’t expect that to slow down Mahomes. The superstar quarterback has averaged at least 20.5 fantasy points per game every year of his career as the starter. Furthermore, he led the NFL with a career-high 5,250 passing yards in 2022 despite losing Tyreek Hill in the offseason. Mahomes is the clear-cut 1.01 pick in dynasty startup drafts. Yet, he is still worthy of a top 24 pick in 1QB leagues too.
