Dynasty Trade Advice: Terry McLaurin, Christian McCaffrey, AJ Brown

As we head into draft season, veterans become much more expendable. Everyone wants the shiny new toy over the aging and potentially dead roster spot. Some veterans on this list will be obvious to you, but others might be newly worthy of your consideration. Either way, here are some veterans I’m trying to trade away before my dynasty rookie draft kicks off in the coming months.

Dynasty Trade Advice

Christian McCaffrey (RB – SF)

Another soon-to-be-29-year-old running back is coming off of a terrible season due to injury. Unlike Mixon, McCaffrey has been all of nothing for fantasy. He’s played 16 or more games in five of his eight seasons, but seven or fewer in the other three. Coming off of his most recent knee injury is not a good sign for McCaffrey’s future prospects. In addition to that, the 49ers seem to be shedding their vets and turning the page on players like McCaffrey. If you can get something meaningful for him heading into the draft, go for it, but I doubt it’ll feel very good doing that.

AJ Brown (WR – PHI)

Receivers tend to have a longer shelf life, but Brown just feels older than his age of 28 as of Week 1. After he had won the Super Bowl, Brown was quoted as saying, “I thought my hard work would be justified by winning it all. It wasn’t.” Something seems off here. I’m not questioning his athletic ability at all, but perhaps his motivation has changed slightly. I don’t think he’ll go full Antonio Brown or anything, but I’m starting to think this might be the peak of his value, in dynasty anyway. If you can get out of him for a younger solid asset and a pick, it might be worth considering. Otherwise, you might need to hold on and enjoy the ride with him.

Terry McLaurin (WR – WAS)

McLaurin turns 30 at the start of the 2025 season. That right there is enough of a reason for some managers to move on. The Commanders also added Deebo Samuel for a 5th-round draft pick and have others already on the roster to challenge him for targets. McLaurin hasn’t missed a game in four seasons and has over 110 targets in each of the last five seasons as well. The age cliff makes me very worried this is the year the wheels fall off. If you can move him now on his WR16 points-per-game finish, then I say do it.
