Dynasty Fantasy Football Trade Targets

Here are my top-10 dynasty fantasy football trade targets as we enter the offseason.

Quarterback

Justin Herbert (QB – LAC)

Right now is the time to trade for Herbert. He’s coming off a QB14 finish in fantasy points per game, but the rest of his metrics scream that he is headed for a return to high-end QB1 status in 2025. On a per-dropback basis, Herbert was fantastic, ranking 11th in yards per attempt, sixth in highly accurate throw rate, and fifth in hero throw rate (per Fantasy Points Data). The offensive ecosystem in Los Angeles is quietly amazing and can only improve in 2025. He has an excellent offensive line in front of him (sixth-lowest pressure rate over expectation) and resides in a pass-heavy Greg Roman offense. Yes, I am as surprised as you are about the end of that last sentence. In Weeks 7-18, Los Angeles ranked sixth-best in pass rate over expectation. Los Angeles has the sixth-most salary cap space this offseason. They could easily add more weapons to the cupboard for Herbert. All arrows are pointing upward for Herbert. And the way he finished the season could help push down his cost.

Running Back

Kenneth Walker III (RB – SEA)

It will fly under the radar that Walker was the RB12 in fantasy points per game this season. Unfortunately, his season was cut short by injuries. Still, if Walker can stay healthy in 2025 and Seattle can improve their offensive line play (fifth-fewest adjusted yards before contact per attempt), he could explode with a top-five season at the position. Remember when consensus said Walker couldn’t catch passes? Well, that faulty narrative was put to rest this season. Walker’s three-down skillset was on full display in 2024. Among 45 qualifying backs, Walker ranked third in first downs per route run, sixth in target per route run rate, and sixth in receiving yards per game (per Fantasy Points Data). Add all of that on top of leading the NFL in missed tackles forced per attempt and ranking tenth in yards after contact per attempt (minimum 100 carries), and Walker could be a league-winner in 2025.

Tyrone Tracy Jr. (RB – NYG)

With Brian Daboll returning as the Giants’ head coach, it’s time to trade for Tracy Jr. Anytime a former fifth-round NFL Draft pick pops in their rookie season, we should be hoping that the coaching staff that believed in and drafted that player returns. If not, their standing on the depth chart could be in trouble. Daboll’s return should be a warm blanket for Tracy for 2025. He didn’t look back after becoming the team’s starting running back in Week 5 as the RB22 in fantasy points per game, averaging 16.4 touches and 81 total yards. He was electric on a per-touch basis. Among 46 qualifying backs, Tracy Jr. was 16th in explosive run rate and 19th in missed tackles forced per attempt. Hopefully, the Giants can get a quarterback upgrade this offseason and improved offensive line play in 2025. If just one of those things happens this offseason, Tracy Jr. should have more running room next season. We could be off to the races if the Giants somehow pull off both. The former wide receiver has only begun to scratch the surface of what he can do as a running back.

Tank Bigsby (RB – JAC)

Bigsby is coming off a surprisingly awesome season as a rusher. I was super high on Bigsby entering his rookie season, only for him to fall flat, but he rewarded my faith in his second season. Bigsby was only the RB40 in fantasy points per game, but he was a baller on a per-carry basis. Among 46 qualifying backs, he ranked 23rd in missed tackles forced per attempt and second in yards after contact per attempt (per Fantasy Points Data). With Liam Coen in town, the Jaguars run game could have new life in 2025. It’s time to send out offers for Bigsby before the rest of your dynasty league realizes his 2025 upside.

Wide Receiver

Drake London (WR – ATL)

Swinging a trade for London won’t be cheap, but it will be worth it. Freed from the foolish whims of Arthur Smith, London had a breakout campaign as the WR13 in fantasy points per game while snagging 100 receptions in 2024. Among 85 qualifying wide receivers last year, he was fifth in target share (27.2%), 12th in yards per route run (2.52), and seventh in first downs per route run (0.133, per Fantasy Points Data). The arrow is still pointed up for London to eclipse those numbers in 2025 if Michael Penix Jr. can be Atlanta’s long-term answer at quarterback. With Penix under center in 2024, London saw his aDOT increase from 10.7 to 12.5, his receiving yards per game jumped from 65.6 to 117.3, and his yards per route run increased from 2.24 to 3.74. London could be a top 3-5 fantasy wide receiver in 2025.

Ladd McConkey (WR – LAC)

Yeah, I know there are two Chargers’ on this list, but that should tell you how high I am regarding this passing offense for 2025. McConkey started slowly in 2024, but the talent is real, and he showed out as the season moved along. Overall, he was the WR16 in fantasy points per game, but in Weeks 8-18, McConkey was the WR11 in fantasy points per game. Overall, he ranked ninth in yards per route run, 11th in first downs per route run, ninth in separation, and eighth in route win rate. Don’t be surprised if McConkey is a WR1 for fantasy in 2025.

Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – ARI)

Yes, I know this wasn’t the rookie season anyone wanted for Harrison Jr., but there’s plenty of reason to have hope and invest in him for 2025 and moving forward. In 2024, Harrison Jr. was the WR39 in fantasy points per game with a 21% target share, 1.74 yards per route run, a 27.1% first-read share, and 0.085 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). None of those metrics inspire hope that Harrison Jr. can reach the astronomical heights people placed upon him before taking an NFL snap outside his first-read share. When we dig even deeper, there’s still plenty of reason to be optimistic that Harrison Jr. can be a weekly alpha-level wide receiver. In 2024, among 89 qualifying wide receivers, Harrison ranked 25th in separation and 15th in route win rate (immediately behind Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins). He might not be available for a trade in many leagues, but if you keep kicking the tires across all of your leagues, you are likely to find a disgruntled Fantasy GM who is ready to cut bait. Pounce immediately!

Ricky Pearsall (WR – SF)

Pearsall’s rookie season was derailed early by camp injuries and off-the-field circumstances that were out of his control. All of these factors delayed Pearsall flashing the talent that made him a first-round pick in the NFL Draft, but eventually, the cream rose to the top. In the final two weeks of the regular season, Pearsall finished as the WR7 and WR14 in weekly scoring while seeing a 21.7% target share and 30.4% first-read share, producing 2.84 yards per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Brandon Aiyuk will be coming off a torn ACL in 2025, and Deebo Samuel isn’t a sure thing to be on the roster next year. Pearsall could have a clear avenue to pick up where he left off as a wonderful breakout candidate in 2025.

Xavier Worthy (WR – KC)

I know there’s a theme with many of these wide receiver trade targets. Invest in talented rookie wide receivers who flashed upside in their rookie seasons and could surpass those first-year totals in their sophomore seasons. Worthy falls into the same bucket as Pearsall for different reasons. We have seen more than one talented Kansas City rookie wide receiver struggle out of the gate. Fortunately for Worthy, he looked close to Rashee Rice and less like Skyy Moore by season’s end. Worthy caught fire to end the regular season. In Weeks 15-18, he was the WR19 in fantasy points per game with a 22.8% target share, 1.83 yards per route run, 0.106 first downs per route run, and a 27.1% first-read share (per Fantasy Points Data). With Rashee Rice recovering from a major injury and dealing with a possible suspension, DeAndre Hopkins‘ 2025 status up in the air, Hollywood Brown possibly leaving in free agency, and Travis Kelce another year older (and possibly retiring), it’s not difficult to envision Worthy operating as Kansas City’s WR1 in 2025.

Tight End

Jonnu Smith (TE – MIA)

Smith’s monster 2024 season shouldn’t be dismissed. He could easily repeat as a top-five tight end for fantasy in 2025 and should be a sought-after trade piece for every dynasty roster that doesn’t already have a top-flight tight end option. In 2024, Smith was the TE5 in fantasy points per game, ranking 13th in deep targets and fifth in red-zone targets among tight ends. Among 57 qualifying tight ends, Smith ranked seventh in target share (18.4%), fourth in yards per route run (2.23), eighth in first-read share (21.1%), and first in first downs per route run (0.139, per Fantasy Points Data). Regardless of what happens with Tyreek Hill for 2025, Smith should remain an integral cog in Miami’s passing attack. He’s an elite tight-end option without the massive trade price tag.
