Trade for these players now as they present buy low opportunities in dynasty fantasy football.
12 Dynasty Players to Buy Low
The 2025 NFL Draft is just around the corner, meaning dynasty rookie drafts are coming up next. In almost every league, rookie picks are going to be very valuable. This value usually goes up until the pick itself is made.
In a lot of cases, you can send that pick while on the clock for a lot more than you thought you could. Below are 12 players I’d keep in your pocket as you approach rookie drafts in the coming months. Use our dynasty trade calculator to help with values.
Caleb Williams (QB – CHI)
Seeing Caleb Williams ranked as the dynasty QB12 after the Bears signed new head coach Ben Johnson this offseason feels wrong. Johnson did a lot with an aging Jared Goff in Detroit last year. All the Bears need is a boost at the offensive line, and I think Williams can outperform his current dynasty expert consensus ranking (ECR).
Williams is a running quarterback who loves taking risks — a combo I want on my roster for fantasy. Add him now if you can catch the current manager asleep at the wheel.
Trevor Lawrence (QB – JAX)
I feel like I’m always writing about Trevor Lawrence on these lists, so why stop now? His current dynasty ECR of QB17 still feels like a dirt-cheap discount. Brian Thomas Jr. broke out last year, and I fully expect them to draft a rookie wideout early this year.
Lawrence has struggled recently, so perhaps you can get him as a QB3 in Superflex for cheaper than ever as we head into rookie draft season. New toys are always shinier than the older ones.
Chase Brown (RB – CIN)
The Bengals are a sneaky offense for running backs in fantasy. They’re stacked in terms of the receiving game, but Brown being ranked at RB13 feels like a deal. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Brown finishes in the top five at the position. If you can send a late first for him, I’d gladly do that. Whoever you decide to take there isn’t likely to outperform Brown.
Christian McCaffrey (RB – SF)
Given his dynasty ECR of RB16, the allure of Christian McCaffrey as the RB1 overall is over. It’s also clear that the 49ers are at the start of a massive overhaul where running backs aren’t very attractive. But hear me out. McCaffrey is still McCaffrey.
It doesn’t matter who is on the team around him or what competition there is in the backfield, I fully expect McCaffrey to have a top-12 fantasy running back season if he’s healthy. I want to add him now and try to flip him closer to the season when starting lineups start to materialize more. I’m not sure I want to hold him, but this might be the lowest his price gets.
Najee Harris (RB – LAC)
Najee Harris is changing teams, which brings a lot of intangibles with it, but his dynasty ECR of RB23 seems off. J.K. Dobbins is still in Los Angeles, so Harris will have competition, but I think he wins this job handily.
Harris had four straight seasons over 1,000 yards with the Steelers, and I can see him doing that again for the Chargers. His RB23 price tag seems fair, but maybe you can find a current Harris manager who wants out for less than that.
Rhamondre Stevenson (RB – NE)
The last running back on my list is Rhamondre Stevenson in New England, and he’s the dynasty RB30 in ECR. Stevenson probably has the most to lose from the draft, as the Patriots are very likely restarting their rebuild already.
New England could draft a running back late to challenge Stevenson for the No. 1 RB role, thereby lowering his value. That said, New England has a lot of holes. Drafting a running back isn’t the best idea given the state of the team. If Stevenson dodges the draft bullet, he could be a stud this season. I’m fine taking the risk on him if the price is right.
Rome Odunze (WR – CHI)
Much like my opinion on Rome Odunze’s quarterback, the same applies to Odunze. His dynasty ECR of WR20 makes sense, but his ceiling is much higher than that. Anytime a player has a higher ceiling than their ranking, I’m interested.
Depending on what price the current Odunze manager is asking for, he is a serious target. A lot of managers felt like he wasn’t great last year, which may be true, but these Bears are going to look very different from last year’s Bears. Grab Odunze if you can sneak a deal during your draft.
Chris Olave (WR – NO)
I fully understand why Chris Olave’s value has cratered in the last 12-16 months, but this seems like a good time to add him. His ECR of WR25 in dynasty leaves a lot of room to improve. Quarterback Derek Carr might not start the season, and the Saints could just draft someone and move on entirely.
No matter what, a lot of fantasy managers are counting Olave out due to the uncertainty. Once we know, whichever way things fall, Olave will see a boost back into the top 20. Snag him while you can and enjoy the windfall.
Tyreek Hill (WR – MIA)
Tyreek Hill is a weird one in dynasty. A few years ago, he announced he would only play a few more years. Is this his last year? Or is it next season? Heck, will he ever play again? Who knows at this point, but given the fact that he can put up WR1 overall numbers any given week, I want him on my roster if he is cheap enough.
His WR30 dynasty ECR ranking seems appropriate, but there are managers out there who will sell him for pennies just to get off the ride. Go window shopping and see what you can find.
Stefon Diggs (WR – NE)
After five successful years in Minnesota and four terrific years in Buffalo, Stefon Diggs struggled in Houston last season. A large part of that was to be expected since he wasn’t going to be the top option.
Now that he’s on the Patriots and likely to be the team’s top dog, his dynasty ECR of WR51 seems crazy. I get that managers were burned last year, but give me all the Diggs shares at that price.
Cade Otton (TE – TB)
Tight end is probably the toughest position to predict in fantasy, and even more so in dynasty. Cade Otton is probably the best buy-low candidate on the list, given his current price and potential output.
Otton should be a consistent top-12 tight end since his offensive teammates are all coming back this year. His dynasty ECR of TE20 is a discount. However, tight end is a total crapshoot after the top four or five players, so the less you have to spend on the position, the better, in my opinion.
Erick All (TE – CIN)
After my favorite buy-low candidate comes the cheapest option on the list. When dumpster diving, it’s hard to get cheaper than TE48 in dynasty ECR. Erick All tore his ACL in November and might not play a full season in 2025.
All is also tucked behind Mike Gesicki on the Bengals’ tight end depth chart. That said, I’m adding as many shares of All in tight end-premium leagues as I can get. He showed a fair amount of talent in his limited production. All might even be on the waiver wire in your league. Go check.
