Dynasty Trade Advice: Isaiah Likely, Sam Darnold, Alvin Kamara

The NFL offseason is here for all 32 teams. However, the offseason has been underway for the past month for fantasy football players. Much will change over the next several months with free agency, the NFL Draft, and training camp.

Yet, let’s look at veterans fantasy football players should buy low or sell high in dynasty leagues.

Dynasty Trade Advice

Buy Low Veterans

Isaiah Likely (TE – BAL)

Likely started last year on fire, totaling 111 receiving yards, a touchdown, and 21.6 half-point PPR fantasy points in Week 1. While he scored more than 7.5 fantasy points in only three other games, the former Coastal Carolina star could have a breakout season soon. The Ravens could move on from Mark Andrews in the offseason, creating a pathway for Likely to finish as a top-five tight end. Furthermore, both players are free agents after the upcoming season, meaning at least one won’t be back in Baltimore in 2026.

Sell High Veterans

Sam Darnold (QB – MIN)

The biggest fantasy surprise last season was Darnold. He finished as the QB9, averaging 18.1 fantasy points per game, a higher average than Patrick Mahomes and Kyler Murray. The veteran set career highs in completion rate (66.2%), passing yards (4,319) and touchdowns (25). However, he struggled to end the year, totaling 411 passing yards, one touchdown, and 19.3 fantasy points in the Week 18 and playoff matchups. The Vikings will likely turn to J.J. McCarthy, meaning Darnold won’t have Kevin O’Connell’s fantasy-friendly offense in 2025, making him a must-sell candidate.

Alvin Kamara (RB – NO)

While he had another top-10 finish in 2024, it’s time for fantasy players to move on from Kamara. The veteran hasn’t had a rushing attempt of over 30 yards in years. More importantly, he hasn’t had more than eight offensive touchdowns since 2020. Some will argue that Kamara could have a massive year under Kellen Moore like Saquon Barkley did last season. Unfortunately, that won’t happen. Kamara hasn’t been an explosive runner in years, while most of his fantasy success has come in the passing game.
