The dynasty fantasy football market didn’t experience any major changes between January and February, but that doesn’t mean nothing happened. This was a month of signal over noise, where subtle shifts tell us more than massive swings usually do. The biggest movers were almost all young players whose long-term outlooks are being recalibrated, not veterans suddenly falling off a cliff.
Below are the most important dynasty risers and fallers from our February dynasty trade value chart update, along with what actually changed and how dynasty managers should react.
Dynasty Trade Value Risers & Fallers
Let’s dive into the biggest dynasty trade value risers and fallers between January and February and how dynasty managers should approach these players in trades.
Biggest Dynasty Risers
Williams posted one of the most important value jumps on the board, climbing +3 in 1QB and +9 in Superflex. This move is less about a single event and more about market confidence finally stabilizing. After a volatile rookie year discourse-wise, managers are re-centering on the reality that Williams is a locked-in long-term starter with elite ceiling outcomes. Superflex managers, in particular, are recalibrating his value closer to the top-tier QB bucket rather than treating him as a risky asset.
Nacua jumped +4 overall, and that matters because wide receiver values are generally sticky at the top. This move signals separation. Dynasty managers are no longer lumping him into the “elite but interchangeable” tier. He is being valued closer to a true cornerstone WR1, not just a high-end producer. That distinction is important when negotiating multi-asset trades.
Stevenson posted the biggest RB increase this month at +5, a notable jump in a position where values usually erode. This rise reflects role clarity and durability perception. Dynasty managers are acknowledging that he still offers multi-year usability rather than being a one-season bridge RB. In a market starving for reliable volume backs, that matters.
Walker quietly moved up +3, which is significant given how pessimistic the market had become based on his 2025 production. His playoff performance, paired with Zach Charbonnet’s injury, has shown the upside Walker presents. It will be interesting to see where he lands in free agency. His value will fluctuate further based on landing spot and opportunity.
Biggest Dynasty Fallers
Hunter’s -12 value drop is the most dramatic move on the entire board. This is a classic example of hype correction. This does not mean Hunter suddenly lacks upside. It means managers are reassessing risk, role clarity, and timeline. Sharp dynasty players should note that violent drops often create buy windows, but there is certainly risk for Hunter and other Jaguars WRs given the crowded room and uncertain roles moving forward.
Hurts slid -2 in 1QB and -6 in Superflex. He provided less value with his legs, and the offense regressed as a whole. This could be a buying opportunity if the team is able to turn things around offensively in 2026.
Taylor dropped -3, continuing a slow erosion rather than a collapse. Dynasty managers are no longer pricing in elite RB longevity. Even strong profiles are being treated as shorter-term assets. This is not panic-selling territory, but it is a reminder that RB value preservation windows are narrow.
Stroud dipped -1 in 1QB and -3 in Superflex, which says more about market recalibration than player outlook. He remains a high-end dynasty QB, but the market is tightening the gap between him and the tier below. This could actually be less of a dip than what the market will perceive his value to be given how poorly he performed in the NFL playoffs. This is a value compression move, not a talent-based downgrade. This could be a buying opportunity if your league overreacts to the playoffs.
What This Month Really Told Us
January to February was about confidence shifts, not narrative swings. Young quarterbacks gained incremental trust. Elite wide receivers solidified their tiers. Running backs either reclaimed a bit of oxygen or continued their slow fade.
The biggest takeaway is that the dynasty market is becoming more disciplined. Massive hype spikes are being corrected faster, and proven stability is being rewarded more quietly.
Dynasty Takeaways
- Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels are gaining value because the market trusts long-term QB stability again
- Puka Nacua is separating from the WR pack as a true cornerstone asset
- Travis Hunter‘s drop looks more like a market reset than a death sentence
- Veteran QBs and RBs are losing value through attrition, not panic
- Subtle monthly changes often matter more than flashy headline swings
