Dynasty Fantasy Football Trade Values: Players to Buy & Sell (2025)

When the fantasy itch hits hard in August, it’s not just about redraft. Dynasty managers are in the thick of it, too — fielding trade offers, watching training camp buzz and second-guessing their rookie rankings. In the latest episode of The Trade Block, Ryan Wormeli (Worm) and Pat Fitzmaurice (Fitz) break down the freshly updated Dynasty Trade Value Chart and offer insights on which players are rising, falling or stuck in limbo.

Here’s a position-by-position breakdown of the most interesting movement in dynasty values heading into the 2025 season.

Dynasty Fantasy Football Trade Values

Quarterbacks: Burrow Dips, Williams Slides and Love Gains Buzz

Joe Burrow still holds steady as the QB4 in the updated chart, but the gap between him and the elite tier — Jalen Hurts, Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes — has widened. Hurts, meanwhile, closed the distance slightly thanks to his rushing upside and durability in the fantasy scoring department.

The more interesting action comes in the rookie and fringe-QB1 range:

Drake Maye moves up modestly and is now tied with Justin Herbert.
Caleb Williams slides down into a four-way tie with Bo Nix, Brock Purdy and Jordan Love.

That cluster-ranked 10 through 13-sparked a thoughtful debate between Worm and Fitz. Fitz leans toward Williams, acknowledging the ceiling that once made him a can’t-miss quarterback prospect. But he admits the camp reports haven’t been encouraging. Worm, on the other hand, is tempted to push Jordan Love to the top of that group based on the Packers’ expected shift to a more pass-heavy scheme and Love’s untapped upside as a pocket passer.

“I actually have Love at the top of that cluster,” Worm said. “I think he’s getting pretty underlooked in redraft and dynasty.”

Bo Nix also earned praise for his early success in Sean Payton’s system, while Williams remains a classic swing-for-the-ceiling play. For dynasty managers deciding between them, it may come down to how much risk they’re willing to take on.

Running Backs: Judkins Plummets, Williams Holds and the Elite Tier Shrinks

The big story here is the slide of Quinshon Judkins, who dropped 11 value points and fell to RB20 after offseason legal issues. Even before that, Fitz was lower on him than consensus, preferring other rookie backs like Dylan Sampson and Kaleb Johnson. Judkins’ fall creates a notable drop-off between RB19 and the rest of the pack, and there’s a hard tier break at that spot.

Elsewhere:

Kyren Williams didn’t move in the chart, but his recent contract extension is a strong signal of job security. He’s tied in value with Josh Jacobs, Ken Walker and other RB1-range players in dynasty. Fitz, who already ranked him confidently, sees the deal as validation of long-term usage in Sean McVay’s system.
Blake Corum and Jarquez Hunter, viewed as potential successors in Los Angeles, now look like pure handcuffs with no clear path to volume.
Jaydon Blue, who had slipped in recent months due to questionable work ethic reports, might be regaining traction after a string of encouraging training camp notes.

The position continues to be top-heavy, with just 17-19 truly desirable dynasty assets depending on league format and timeline. Managers with shallow running back depth should tread carefully.

Wide Receivers: Collins Ascends, Sutton Stabilizes

There wasn’t massive movement at the top, but Worm made a compelling case that Nico Collins is too low at WR9. After a dominant start to 2024 (five straight games over 75 yards and three touchdowns), paired with C.J. Stroud, Collins looked like a bona fide WR1. Worm argues he should be considered ahead of players like Drake London and Amon-Ra St. Brown.

“I just think he’s a stud,” he said. “Wouldn’t stun me if Nico Collins was WR3 this season.”

Other notes:

Courtland Sutton jumped seven spots (WR47 to WR40) after inking an extension with Denver. He’s not a sexy dynasty name, but he’s the clear No. 1 WR in a decent offense-worth more than his name value suggests.
At the top, Ja’Marr Chase widened the gap over Justin Jefferson, which Fitz attributes to the quarterback situation: “One has maybe the best pure passer in the league, and the other has a guy who’s never taken an NFL snap.”
The tie between CeeDee Lamb and Malik Nabers raised eyebrows. Nabers’ age and target share give him appeal, but Worm questioned whether the downgrade from Dak Prescott to a washed Russell Wilson justifies a dead heat.

Meanwhile, Jordan Addison sits at WR26, slightly docked due to a three-game suspension. While the long-term outlook is still positive, Fitz admits Addison may be more of a “play for the future” than a 2025 asset, especially with J.J. McCarthy under center.

Tight Ends: Love for Loveland, Arrow Up for Kraft

The most vocal debate of the show came at tight end, where Coulson Loveland and Tyler Warren are tied in value-but not in the eyes of our hosts.

Wormeli firmly believes Loveland should be TE4 in dynasty, citing Ben Johnson‘s faith in him (top-10 draft capital), a high-powered offense, and long-term volume upside.

Fitz disagrees, preferring Warren in 2025 thanks to a clearer path to targets in Indianapolis and less competition around the red zone. If Anthony Richardson starts, the offense could be inconsistent, but Warren is projected to be a focal point from day one.

Also on the rise:

Tucker Kraft is pulling away from the second tier. Fitz pointed to elite after-the-catch metrics and a favorable situation in Green Bay. “There might be a little bit of George Kittle in him.”
Isaiah Likely climbed into the top 12, thanks to long-term potential and contract situations with Mark Andrews still unresolved.
