Dynasty Trade Advice: Values & Buy/Sell Targets (Fantasy Football)

Dynasty trade season never really ends, but this is the window where sharp managers create long-term leverage. On the latest episode of The Trade Block, Ryan Wormeli and Pat Fitzmaurice broke down the newest dynasty trade value chart, digging into quarterbacks, running backs, receivers, tight ends, and most importantly, rookie pick strategy. Here’s our latest dynasty trade advice.

Dynasty Trade Advice for February

Below is a position-by-position recap with actionable dynasty trade advice you can use right now in fantasy football leagues.

Quarterbacks: Caleb Williams Is the Pivot Point

At the top, there wasn’t much chaos. Drake Maye, Josh Allen, Jayden Daniels, and Lamar Jackson remain tightly clustered in elite dynasty territory. The more interesting conversation started just below that tier.

Caleb Williams (QB – CHI) continues to climb after a January that featured multiple highlight-reel throws under pressure. The tools have always been there, but the discussion centered on ceiling. Williams has now shown flashes of a peak outcome that blends high-end arm talent with functional rushing upside. That’s enough to push him firmly into the QB1 conversation in dynasty.

On the other side, Jalen Hurts (QB – PHI) is slipping. Not collapsing, but slipping. Fewer rushing touchdowns, uncertainty around the Eagles’ offensive direction, and questions about how much elite rushing juice remains all contribute. Hurts still belongs in the top tier, but he’s no longer insulated from younger challengers.

The takeaway here is market timing. If you roster Hurts and aren’t all-in on contending, this is a reasonable sell window. If you’re rebuilding, Williams is exactly the kind of asset worth paying up for.

Running Backs: Buying Talent Over Situation

The running back landscape remains fragile, but that’s exactly why conviction matters.

Kenneth Walker (RB – SEA) stood out as one of the more interesting trade targets. His playoff performance reminded managers why he was once viewed as nearly on par with Breece Hall as a prospect. With Zack Charbonnet coming off a serious knee injury, Walker May have more early-season runway than the market is pricing in. As a mid-range RB2 by value, he profiles as a strong buy.

Meanwhile, TreVeyon Henderson (RB – NE) sparked real concern. His rookie season told three completely different stories, culminating in near-disappearance during the playoffs. Rhamondre Stevenson isn’t going anywhere, and unless that changes, Henderson’s path to consistent volume looks narrow. He can still hit in a limited role, but RB8 prices assume more certainty than currently exists.

Zooming out to rookie picks, the message was clear. The 2026 class has a two-player tier at the top. After that, things flatten quickly. That makes early firsts valuable, but late firsts far more expendable.

Wide Receivers: Justin Jefferson Is the Market Test

One of the most interesting debates centered on Justin Jefferson (WR – MIN), now sitting outside the very top tier of dynasty receivers.

The logic is understandable. He’s entering the middle-to-late prime years, and Minnesota’s quarterback situation remains unresolved. Still, Jefferson is one of the most dominant receivers of the era, and the value gap between him and younger wideouts like Puka Nacua (WR – LAR) or Malik Nabers (WR – NYG) feels wider than necessary.

This is where league context matters. If your league manager values Jefferson like a fading asset, he’s a buy. If someone still treats him like an untouchable WR1 overall, patience is fine.

The clearest receiver value shift came with Travis Hunter (WR – JAX), whose dynasty stock continues to fall amid legitimate questions about his long-term offensive role. Positional ambiguity is kryptonite in dynasty formats, and Hunter is the textbook example. Meanwhile, Tetairoa McMillan (WR – ARI) looks like exactly what managers hoped for when they prioritized him in rookie drafts.

Tight Ends: Brock Bowers, Then a Real Debate

At the top, nothing has changed. Brock Bowers (TE – LV) is alone in Tier 1.

After that, the conversation gets fascinating.

Trey McBride (TE – ARI) is coming off a monster season, but his dynasty value may be peaking. Heavy volume, quarterback uncertainty, and changing offensive dynamics all create sell-high conditions, especially in tight end premium formats.

The name gaining steam is Colston Loveland (TE – CHI). The film, the usage, and the offensive environment all point to a player who could very realistically join Bowers at the top of the position within a year. Loveland is the rare tight end whose price may still lag behind his future value.

If you can move McBride for Loveland plus meaningful assets, that’s the kind of trade that reshapes a roster.

Rookie Pick Strategy: 2027 Is the Real Target

The most actionable advice from the episode had nothing to do with players.

If you’re holding mid-to-late 2026 first-round picks, now is the time to explore flipping them for 2027 capital. After the top two selections, the 2026 class lacks depth at quarterback and running back. The 2027 class, on the other hand, projects as a true difference-maker with strength throughout the first two rounds.

This is the quiet window. Once rookie fever hits, those picks won’t be available.

Dynasty Fantasy Football Takeaways

Caleb Williams is a cornerstone dynasty asset. Buying now may still be cheaper than buying later.
Jalen Hurts is no longer insulated by rushing upside alone. Consider selling if you’re not contending.
Kenneth Walker is a strong buy at RB2 prices, especially with short-term opportunity opening up.
TreVeyon Henderson‘s value assumes more role security than exists.
Justin Jefferson is closer to a buy than a sell if your league is overcorrecting.
Travis Hunter‘s positional uncertainty makes him a risky long-term hold.
Brock Bowers is the clear TE1, but Colston Loveland is the best tight end buy in dynasty.
Trey McBride is a prime sell-high candidate, particularly in TE premium leagues.
Treat late 2026 firsts as trade chips for 2027 picks whenever possible.
