We’re nearly midway through the fantasy regular season now, and plenty has changed from a dynasty perspective. I’m covering two buy-low and two sell-high candidates weekly in this article series, based on my player rankings versus the market.
To determine dynasty market value, I’m utilizing KeepTradeCut, a community-sourced dynasty rankings site. As always, my player values in these articles are based on a Superflex, PPR, TE-Premium format. Let’s jump right in, starting with my two buy-low targets for this week.

Players to Buy
Breece Hall (RB – NYJ)
Breece Hall’s dynasty value has been on a steady decline since the start of the season, as the New York Jets have gotten off to a 0-6 start. The offensive line has been poor, and the quarterback play has been even worse. Despite this, there are reasons to be bullish regarding Breece’s immediate and long-term fantasy value.
With Braelon Allen on injured reserve (IR) and possibly out for the year, Hall’s only competition for backfield touches is Isaiah Davis. Hall saw a season-high 74% of the snaps in Week 6 without Allen. In addition, Garrett Wilson suffered a hyperextended knee in Week 6, which could sideline him for multiple weeks. Aaron Glenn will need to rely on Hall even more on the offensive end, especially in the receiving game, if New York wants to have any chance at moving the football.
Is this offense good? Absolutely not. But, assuming Hall remains a Jet, he should have some of the best usage we could hope for from a fantasy perspective. If New York elects to move Breece, we can almost guarantee he’ll play for a more competent organization. And looking ahead to next season and beyond, it’s highly unlikely Justin Fields will still be Hall’s quarterback. I would be shocked if Fields makes it through this season as the starter.
However you slice it, Hall’s dynasty value can only improve from here. He’s an elite talent who we saw finish as the RB6 in points per game just two seasons ago, and he’s only 24 years old. Hall is currently valued as the RB14 and can likely be acquired for a late first-round rookie pick, given the concern around the Jets organization. Bet on the talent; Hall has plenty of productive seasons ahead of him.
Oronde Gadsden II (TE – LAC)
This is Oronde Gadsden’s second appearance in my “dynasty buys” section, coming off his best game as a pro in Week 6. The rookie out of Syracuse recorded eight targets, seven receptions and 68 yards. Gadsden’s weekly usage since Week 3 has seen a snap share increase of 26% to 48% to 54% to 75%. He out-snapped Will Dissly and Tyler Conklin by a healthy margin and appears to have locked up the No. 1 TE role in what has become a pass-heavy offense for the Chargers. Gadsden is tied to one of the best true passers in the NFL, Justin Herbert. While he does have plenty of target competition, Keenan Allen will likely be gone after this year, opening up even more opportunity.
With the recent success of rookie tight ends like Sam LaPorta and Brock Bowers, we forget how rare it is for rookie tight ends to come in and make an immediate impact at the NFL level. Gadsden is a legitimate receiving threat in this offense, yet he’s sitting with a price tag of TE29 overall on KeepTradeCut. He’s currently ranked after tight ends like Cade Otton and Chigoziem Okonkwo, and can still likely be bought for less than a second-round rookie pick. I highly encourage you to target this young man while the price is still palatable. He could very well establish himself as a low-end TE1 (top-12) in dynasty within the next year.
Players to Sell
Tony Pollard (RB – TEN)
Boy, it is really over for Tony Pollard. The best time to sell was certainly before this weekend, while Tyjae Spears was still on the IR and Pollard was seeing a heavy workload. The price has dropped, but I suggest cutting your losses and selling Pollard before things worsen.
In Spears’ first game back for the Titans, he saw a 59% snap share to Pollard’s 43%. While Pollard saw five more rush attempts, Spears was more heavily involved in the receiving game. And in an offense where points are scored few and far between, you really need receiving work to remain fantasy-viable.
Moving forward, Pollard is no more than a 28-year-old committee back in possibly the worst offense in the NFL. The Titans can save money by parting ways with Pollard after this season, at which point he will be 29 and likely nearing the end of his NFL career.
There’s a good chance Pollard will never be in a situation where you feel good about starting him on your fantasy team again. KeepTradeCut says Pollard is valued in line with a late second-round pick. If you can’t sell him for this, I’d be fine taking a couple of thirds. I would also look at swapping Pollard for a young handcuff or backup running back with higher upside, like Kendre Miller.
Derrick Henry (RB – BAL)
Derrick Henry is another aging back, where I’m really not interested in waiting around to see if things improve. He had a decent bounce-back game in Week 6 against the Rams, rushing for 122 yards (5.1 yards per carry) and scoring 16 PPR points on the night.
With Lamar Jackson expected to return after the team’s Week 7 bye and a couple of favorable matchups on the horizon, contenders may be looking to target Henry to make their run in the second half of the season. Don’t get me wrong, Henry will have a few more big performances before the season is done. I just think the downside risk far outweighs the upside here.
We’ve seen serious signs of decline in 2025 from Henry, with just an 8.8% juke rate (RB51) and his worst season for yards after contact per attempt since 2017. Henry has had an incredible career, but he’s about to be 32 years old. I’d seriously consider selling while his value is still relatively high.
Henry is valued as the dynasty RB18 on KeepTradeCut, in line with a late 2028 first-round pick. If you can sell Henry for any future first, I would be more than happy to make that deal. But if that’s off the table, I’d be comfortable taking two second-round picks for him. In terms of players, you could try to flip Henry for Kenneth Walker, who has seen his value take a dip recently. You could also take a swing on a young back plus draft capital, like Jacory Croskey-Merritt and a second-round pick.
