With Week 10 of the NFL season in the books, it’s time to take a look at some more buy-low and sell-high candidates from a dynasty lens. While now is the time to focus on the playoff picture and push for that bye week on our contending teams, we also want to ensure we’re setting ourselves up for the greatest chance of long-term success in this fantasy format. Below are a few names to consider buying and selling in dynasty, as we look to continue increasing roster value.

Dynasty Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Players to Buy
The excitement following Travis Hunter’s true breakout performance against the Rams in Week 7, where he posted eight receptions for 101 yards and his first NFL touchdown, was quickly extinguished. After suffering a knee injury in practice, it was recently confirmed that while his ACL is structurally intact, Hunter requires season-ending surgery to repair an LCL tear. This should open up an opportunity to acquire Hunter for a big discount in dynasty, as season-ending injuries often do.
Prior to his knee injury, Hunter’s usage was steadily increasing on the offensive side for the Jaguars, seeing an increase from 56% of the snaps in Week 4 to 87% in Week 7. In his last game played, Hunter ran 51 routes, earning 12 targets and hauling in eight receptions. This is all we were asking for with Hunter – a full-time role at wide receiver.
If you’re rebuilding, now is an excellent time to send an offer for Hunter – especially if the Hunter owner is competing this year. Your league mate may be eager to cash out and buy points today as they prepare for a playoff run. As far as trade examples, I’d be willing to sell AJ Brown for Hunter straight up, but you could likely get a small “plus” on top following the injury news. Maybe you could buy him for Michael Pittman Jr., who has benefited from a hyper-efficient Colts offense this season. And in terms of picks, I’d be willing to sell as much as a late first-round rookie pick, plus a third-round pick or a depth piece. Hunter will be back in 2026, and he should have Top 12 upside at the position, assuming he keeps that full-time role he recently earned.
Trey Benson often feels like the forgotten man in dynasty, with a quiet rookie season followed up by an early-season torn meniscus in Year 2. We are now six weeks post-surgery and looking at a possible Benson return in the next couple of weeks. With James Conner out for the season with an ankle injury, it’s been a combination of Bam Knight, Emari Demercado, and Michael Carter taking on the backfield duties.
Being an early Round 3 selection in the 2024 NFL Draft, we know the Cardinals are invested and want to see Benson succeed. From a talent standpoint, I see no reason why Benson can’t step in and immediately assume 70% or more of the backfield touches once he returns.
Looking at long-term value, I’m extremely bullish on Benson. James Conner will be 31 next year, and the Cardinals can save $8M by cutting him. All signs point to Benson being the workhorse of the future in Arizona, and you can buy him for less than a late first-round rookie pick. Target Benson now, before we get him back on the field, and he doesn’t look back.
Players to Sell
Jameson Williams is coming off his best game of the season against Washington, grabbing six of seven targets for 119 yards and a touchdown. His 23.9 PPR performance was good for WR2 overall in Week 10. Williams has now scored 16+ PPR points in three of his past four games, giving us a nice sell window to take advantage of.
The problem with Jamo from a fantasy perspective has always been the same: he’s a boom-bust field stretcher who provides unpredictable spike weeks. If you’re playing in a dynasty bestball league, I wouldn’t be looking to sell; in fact, Williams is the type of asset I’m happy to own when I don’t have to worry about setting a lineup. But assuming you play in a managed league, you don’t want to have to rely on guessing right with Williams’ spike weeks.
The lack of volume Jamo sees gives him an incredibly low floor. While he’s had four games this year with 16+ PPR points, he’s also had five games with under 7.0 PPR points. According to PlayerProfiler, Williams is sitting with just a 14.7% target rate (WR88) and 1.45 yards per route run (WR63). This is who Williams has always been, and the inconsistency is frankly not worth the headache. If you’re contending, look to flip Williams for someone like Davante Adams or Jaylen Warren, who give you a floor-ceiling combination you can truly trust every week. If you’re selling for picks, I’d be more than happy to take a pair of second-round picks from any year.
With Travis Hunter out for the year and Brian Thomas Jr. struggling to find rapport with Trevor Lawrence (and possibly dealing with an undisclosed injury of his own), Parker Washington has really stepped up in this Liam Coen offense. He’s now posted three straight games with double-digit PPR points and back-to-back games with 17+ points. Unfortunately for Washington, his expanded role will inevitably come to an end sooner rather than later.
The Jaguars just traded for seven-year veteran WR Jakobi Meyers, someone who can line up in the slot and the X, similar to Washington. Meyers saw just a 44% snap share in his first game with the Jags, but we can expect this number to increase as he gets more comfortable with the offensive playbook. It appears TE Brenton Strange should be coming off IR soon as well, adding to the target competition this season. Once we get a healthy Travis Hunter back in 2026, Washington’s path to consistent targets gets extremely murky.
Given Washington’s projections in the short term, you may be able to sell him for a premium to a contending team looking for another flex option. I would look to trade Washington for an unproven rookie with higher long-term upside, such as Jaylin Noel or Terrance Ferguson. I would also be comfortable selling him for a third- and fourth-round rookie pick, or adding a mid-round pick to upgrade to a more exciting prospect, such as Troy Franklin or Luther Burden.
