Dynasty fantasy football is arguably the best way to play fantasy because it allows players to treat their team like an NFL general manager. There is no reset every year, and fantasy players have two pathways to improve their team — rookie drafts and trades. Let’s dive into a few of the top quarterback dynasty trade targets.

Dynasty Trade Targets: Quarterbacks
Lamar Jackson was always a fantasy superstar because of his rushing abilities, averaging 913 yards and 4.7 touchdowns on the ground per season since taking over as the starter in 2019. However, he has become one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL and fantasy football, with Todd Monken as the offensive coordinator over the past two years. Jackson has had his two best seasons in completion rate and passing yards with Monken, totaling a career-high 41 passing touchdowns in 2024 despite having fewer than 475 attempts.
While he didn’t finish as the QB1 last year, Josh Allen remains the top quarterback in fantasy football. The superstar has had a top-two finish in five consecutive seasons. Furthermore, Allen proved he didn’t need an elite wide receiver to be a fantasy superstar. Khalil Shakir was the only Bill with over 560 receiving yards in 2024. Meanwhile, Allen still had 12 rushing touchdowns despite James Cook leading the NFL with 16 rushing scores.
The Titans don’t have much to offer dynasty fantasy players. Calvin Ridley is on the wrong side of 30 and could be a salary cap casualty next offseason. Therefore, Cam Ward offers fantasy players the most long-term value, even in 1-QB leagues. He should get at least three years as the team’s starting quarterback after being the top overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Hopefully, Tennessee gets Ward some weapons, giving him a chance to be a fantasy star.
Some will call RJ Harvey the team’s most valuable dynasty asset. However, I have concerns about his long-term outlook after the Broncos added J.K. Dobbins after the NFL Draft. More importantly, Nix surprised everyone as a rookie, ending the year as the QB7, averaging 18.7 fantasy points per game. He had 29 passing touchdowns, the sixth-most in the league. The former Oregon star averaged 3.9 fantasy points per game with his legs as a rookie, giving fantasy players some underrated upside.
While I’m not ready to call Jayden Daniels the QB1 in dynasty, the superstar is a top-three fantasy quarterback. Last year, he was the QB5, averaging 20.9 fantasy points per game. Furthermore, he would have been the QB2 on a points-per-game basis, averaging 23.1 fantasy points per outing, without the two contests Daniels played fewer than half the snaps. The Commanders improved their offensive line and receiving corps this offseason, meaning Daniels could finish as the overall QB1 this year.
