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 selling high 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: Sell-High Candidates
Which player are you selling now in dynasty leagues and why? Also, what kind of return are you looking for?
“Travis Hunter. Early reports out of the Jags’ camp are that Hunter will be more deployed at CB than at WR in 2026 based on the team’s current needs at the position (CBs Greg Newsome II, Montaric Brown, and Christian Braswell are all on expiring contracts). Recall that the 2025 Jaguars offense took OFF without Hunter in the second half of the season. Flip Hunter for Ricky Pearsall or a 2027 late-first or early second-round rookie pick. ”

“If we’re going fishin’, let’s use some prime bait. This would be a great time to see Trey McBride, whose dynasty value will never be higher than it is right now. McBride had 126 catches for 1,39 yards last season on the heels of 111 catches for 1,146 yards in 2024. And after scoring six TDs in his first 49 NFL games, he erupted for 11 TDs last year. Gravity could tug on McBride’s touchdown rate in 2026. McBride also benefitted from the fact that the Cardinals threw at the league’s highest rate last season. They passed on 65.9% of their offensive plays last season. (The Bengals were second at 64.0%.) McBride’s efficiency metrics don’t stand out. He’s averaged 7.5 yards per route run and 1.78 yards per target for his career and was basically in line with those numbers last season. For sake of comparison, Mark Andrews has averaged 8.5 yards per target and 1.98 yards per route run for his career. Some of the dynasty trade calculators out there suggest that McBride is more valuable than CeeDee Lamb, Amon-Ra St. Brown or Justin Jefferson in non-TE-premium leagues. I’d take any of those foundational WRs for McBride in a heartbeat.”

“Anywhere you roster Alec Pierce, you should be looking to move him. Last year, he was the WR23 in fantasy points per game, but it’ll be tough to replicate yearly WR2 production in the role that he plays for an NFL offense. Among 76 qualifying receivers, yes, Pierce ranked 16th in yards per route run, which is a reflection of his talent, but he was also 40th in targets and 42nd in target share. He’s not a high-volume receiver, and I don’t see that changing if he moves to another roster. Pierce is a field stretcher, as evidenced by ranking first in aDOT and second in deep targets last season (per Fantasy Points Data). He was the single high king last year. Operating in a role like that will lead to volatility year to year and week to week because of the degree of difficulty with his targets and his lower volume projection. If I can get any first-round pick in 2026 or 2027 for Pierce, I’m taking it immediately. I’d even be willing to consider an early second-round pick in 2026 if I fall in love with this rookie class as I dive into them in the coming weeks. ”
