This is a great time of year to dive back into the trading streets of dynasty fantasy football leagues. Managers are likely to overreact to 2025 performances — especially how players do down the stretch — and there are plenty of changes on the horizon with free agency and the NFL Draft. Our analysts have identified players you should consider buying low in your dynasty fantasy football leagues. Let’s dive into some dynasty trade advice as we start the NFL offseason.
Dynasty Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Buy-Low Candidates
Which player are you buying now in dynasty leagues and why? Also, what are you willing to give up to get him?
“Ladd McConkey. Don’t hold the 2025 OL injuries against the Chargers’ skill players. The Chargers’ second-year WR failed to live up to his expectations from his rookie season, as Keenan Allen‘s presence capped his target/production ceiling. The 33-year-old WR LED the Chargers in targets under OC Greg Roman (hyper-targeted on third downs). But with Roman replaced by Mike McDaniel, we should expect McConkey (who just turned 24 years old) to finish closer to his rookie season, when he averaged 2.6 YPRR as a fringe fantasy WR1. McDaniel knows how to deploy his WRs to achieve peak efficiency both for real-life and fantasy purposes. I’d send Garrett Wilson or Rome Odunze for McConkey entering Year 3.”

“This is a great time to get Malik Willis — especially in superflex leagues, but he’s a worthwhile asset in 1QB leagues, too. The price for Willis is going to soar in a couple of months when some team signs him in free agency and makes him their likely Week 1 starter in 2026. Pittsburgh, Miami and Arizona are among the potential suitors. Willis is going to provide immense value as a runner — he’s averaged 44.8 rushing yards and has four TD runs in six NFL starts — and flashed intriguing potential as a passer in his appearances with the Packers this past season. Get him now while he’s still being viewed as a backup. In superflex leagues, I’d happily give away a second-round rookie pick for Willis, or a useful but low-ceiling receiver like Khalil Shakir or Jalen Coker.”

“Jayden Higgins is a player I’m looking to acquire in dynasty because the upside is there for 2026. The worries around C.J. Stroud could help depress his price in dynasty circles, but I’m willing to give up a 2026 or 2027 second-round pick and a 3rd in 2026 to get him. You might have to get a tad more aggressive to secure his services in some leagues, which I’m fine with. Last season, in Weeks 10-20, he was integrated into the offense; he had a 23% target per route run rate, 1.80 yards per route run, and 0.097 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Overall, for the 2025 season, among 76 qualifying receivers, in those statistical categories, Higgins ranked 29th, 35th, and 26th. Higgins was solid across the board. He has the talent to crush those numbers in 2026 and could easily evolve into a weekly WR2 for fantasy if Stroud can provide league-average play, and he gets a more substantial route share. ”
