Several factors go into building a consistently elite dynasty fantasy football 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. All of this boils down to your dynasty trade strategy.
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 fantasy football team possible, I will identify the top dynasty asset and sell candidates for every NFL team.
Today, I break down the AFC South teams. Here’s my dynasty trade advice for the AFC South, including the top dynasty asset on each team as well as a dynasty player to trade now.

Dynasty Trade Advice: AFC South
Unfortunately, Diggs is coming off his second consecutive year with late-season struggles. He was the WR47 over the final eight games last season, averaging only 7.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per game and 0.41 fantasy points per route run, both lower averages than Noah Brown (per Fantasy Points Data). More importantly, Diggs got a downgrade at quarterback and a massive upgrade for target competition. The veteran wide receiver is on the wrong side of 30 and likely will be on his third team in three years, 10 months from now.
Michael Pittman Jr. (WR – IND)
Pittman has consistently been a solid WR2 since his rookie season. The former USC star is the WR17 in the FantasyPros dynasty rankings. Yet, he has never finished higher than WR15 in any year of his career. Pittman had 156 targets last season, more than twice as many as anyone else on the team except Josh Downs. Indianapolis added multiple wide receivers during the NFL Draft, including Adonai Mitchell. Furthermore, the Colts will be more of a run-heavy team with Anthony Richardson and Jonathon Taylor healthy.
Fantasy players have wanted Davis to turn into a thing since his four-touchdown performance in the playoffs against the Kansas City Chiefs a few years ago. However, that hasn’t happened. Instead, the veteran wide receiver has averaged fewer than 56 receiving yards and 9.9 half-point PPR fantasy points per game every season in his career. Davis has never been a fantasy starter, downgraded at quarterback this offseason, and will have more competition for targets. Now is the time for fantasy players to get what they can for the veteran receiver.
While fantasy players and the Titans had high hopes for Burks, it’s now or never for the former first-round pick. He was drafted by the previous head coach and general manager. Furthermore, the new regime has added Calvin Ridley, DeAndre Hopkins, and Tyler Boyd over the past year. More importantly, head coach Brian Callahan said Burks will need to contribute on special teams to be part of the game-day roster. It’s time to call him a bust and trade Burks away for a future late-round rookie pick.
