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 NFC South teams: the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints, and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Top Sell Candidate
Here are players to consider trading away on each NFC South team.
Cordarrelle Patterson (RB – ATL)
Unfortunately, the veteran’s fantasy value tanked when the Falcons drafted Bijan Robinson. Yet, Patterson has been productive the past two years. Despite missing four contests and splitting the backfield with Tyler Allgeier, the veteran ended last year as the RB32, averaging 10.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Furthermore, he had a career-high eight rushing touchdowns in 2022. With Robinson and Allgeier ahead of him on the depth chart, Patterson has no fantasy value in Atlanta. However, some believe a trade could happen before the start of the season. Now is the time to see if a league mate is hopeful for a trade and get the veteran off your team.
Adam Thielen (WR – CAR)
When the Panthers traded DJ Moore to the Chicago Bears, they signed Thielen to replace him as their No. 1 wide receiver this season. The veteran is a value in redraft leagues, given his expected high target volume. However, fantasy players should trade away the wide receiver this year. Thielen was the WR30 in 2022 but averaged only 8.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, the lowest average of his career since his second NFL season. More importantly, his yards per route run has declined in three consecutive years. While the high target volume will make Thielen a flex option in 2023, the veteran’s career is on the back nine.
