Dynasty Trade Advice: Trevor Lawrence, Jerome Ford, Adam Thielen

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

Trevor Lawrence (QB – JAX)

Unfortunately, Lawrence struggled in 2024, averaging 1.1 passing touchdowns and 14.5 fantasy points per game. However, he was a solid fantasy quarterback the previous two years, averaging 1.4 passing touchdowns and 16.9 fantasy points per game, posting a 16.4 or higher average in both seasons. More importantly, Liam Coen takes over as the Jaguars’ head coach after leading one of the top offenses last year. Baker Mayfield ended last season as the QB4, averaging 21.5 fantasy points per game, ranking second in the league with 41 passing touchdowns.

Jerome Ford (RB – CLE)

Many would like to wash their hands of Cleveland’s offense. However, Ford could become a sneaky short-term fantasy bargain in the final year of his rookie deal. Nick Chubb is an upcoming free agent and unlikely to return, making Ford the early favorite to start next season. The Browns likely won’t invest significant draft capital at running back as they head into another rebuilding project. Ford was productive in 2023, with Chubb missing most of the year, finishing as the RB17, averaging 11.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game.

Adam Thielen (WR – CAR)

Trading for older players is frowned upon in dynasty leagues. However, Thielen is coming off his best fantasy season since 2021, averaging 11.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He was on pace for 82 receptions on 105 targets for 1,046 receiving yards and nine touchdowns over a 17-game pace. More importantly, Thielen finished as the WR11 over the final five weeks of the fantasy season, averaging 16.1 fantasy points per game. He could remain Bryce Young’s No. 1 wide receiver next year, making him a sneaky trade target.
