They say that dynasty fantasy football never sleeps. Or is that New York? I always mix those two up. Either way, your dynasty leagues are continuously running, and there are moves to be made. Hopefully, you’re the one making those dynasty trades to help enhance your roster.
While others are getting excited about the upcoming Super Bowl, you’re out here in the dynasty streets trying to improve your chances at winning a championship. I dig it. With that said, here are four moves you should be looking to make before the Big Game this Sunday.

Dynasty Trades to Make Now
Buy Sam LaPorta (TE – DET)
I know what you’re probably thinking: You want me to buy a tight end who missed the second half of the year with a herniated disk and needed back surgery — are you crazy? I get it. Back injuries are nothing to mess with. That said, Sam LaPorta said he wants “a long, healthy career” and expects to be full-go by the time training camp rolls around.
Why the optimism going forward? One name: Drew Petzing. The former Cardinals offensive coordinator finds himself in Detroit after three seasons in the desert. Arizona might not have won a lot of games while he was there, but its offense sure was fantasy-friendly — especially at the tight end position. Under Petzing, Trey McBride became one of the most dominant pass-catchers in the NFL and was named First-Team All-Pro in 2025 after a monster season in which he caught 126 balls for 1,239 yards and 11 touchdowns. The 126 receptions by McBride became a new NFL single-season record among tight ends.
When healthy last year, LaPorta was his usual productive self. He was the fantasy TE6 on a per-game basis, averaging 11.9 fantasy points per game. He finished his 2025 season with 40 catches for 489 yards and three touchdowns in only nine games. His efficiency was also top-notch, ranking in the top 10 in the following metrics:
- 10 yards per target (TE3)
- 128.7 quarterback rating per target (TE5)
- 2.00 yards per route run (TE5)
- 2.18 fantasy points per target (TE6)
- 0.44 fantasy points per route run (TE9)
- 0.094 first downs per route run (TE9)
With an offseason of rest and rehab, LaPorta should return to form in 2026. His value has dipped as a result of the injury and the emergence of young guns like Colston Loveland, Tyler Warren and Harold Fannin Jr., which makes him an attractive buy candidate. I’d be happy to send a late 2026 first-round pick or flip a player like Cam Skattebo or Travis Hunter to get him. LaPorta just turned 25 years old in January. Assuming no setbacks, he still has plenty of prime years left.
Sell Kyren Williams (RB – LAR)
If you roster the Rams lead back, you should be a little worried about what we saw in the 2025 playoffs. Blake Corum was a major thorn in Kyren Williams’ side in two of the three postseason games Los Angeles played. If the last game is any indication, we might be in for a tighter split than expected next year. In the NFC Conference Championship, Williams played a season-low 50% of the snaps while Corum played 38% — Williams found the end zone, but Corum out-gained him 79 to 61 in total yardage.
Williams has some contract insulation after signing a three-year, $33-million contract extension before the 2025 season kicked off. He’s not going anywhere, especially after another productive season, averaging 4.8 yards per carry while scoring 13 touchdowns. His 15.5 fantasy points per game were good for RB10 on the season, and he was the top overall back in expected points added (EPA) with +39.4.
On the flip side, Corum was more efficient and even more explosive than Williams on a per-touch basis. The 2024 third-round pick averaged 5.1 yards per carry, tied with Bijan Robinson for the fourth-highest average among all running backs with at least 100 carries. Corum also finished fifth among ball-carriers in EPA (+20) and was the RB2 overall in PlayerProfiler’s explosive rating (122.9).
There’s room for both players to succeed in this Rams offense, but Williams’ days as a bona fide No. 1 RB might be numbered with Corum’s emergence. If you can get a mid-2026 first-rounder or any 2027 first-round pick, it may be a smart time to move off of Williams before his output starts to decline.
Buy Kyler Murray (QB – ARI)
I’m not the biggest fan of Kyler Murray, but the diminutive signal-caller is criminally undervalued right now in the dynasty community. Right now, he sits at QB27 on KeepTradeCut, just ahead of signal-callers like Shedeur Sanders (save the Pro Bowl jokes), Mac Jones and Malik Willis. I get that it wasn’t great when we last saw him in 2025, but there aren’t 26 quarterbacks better than Murray for fantasy.
In five contests last season, he averaged just 16.2 fantasy points per game. His entire career before that? Murray averaged at least 18.1 fantasy points per game in every season and never finished outside of QB1 territory on a per-game basis.
It’s not always pretty, but Murray’s able to make enough plays with his arm and — more importantly for our game — his legs to rack up fantasy points at a high clip.
The biggest reason for Murray’s dip in value is uncertainty. We don’t know where he’ll play in 2026. That’s why now is a good time to strike. There aren’t enough quality starters in the NFL right now; Murray is going to get a second chance — whether it’s with the Cardinals under a new coaching staff, or somewhere else.
If you want to take a stab at Murray in Superflex formats, start by offering a high second-rounder. If they ask for more, toss in a low-ceiling non-quarterback skill position player to sweeten the deal. Better to buy Murray now than later when he lands a starting job. This is your chance to land a difference-maker at a discount; don’t miss it.
Sell Travis Hunter (WR – JAX)
This one isn’t about talent. Travis Hunter is a world-class athlete with a ton of potential. However, I’d be looking to pivot away from the former Heisman Trophy winner in dynasty because of the situation he’s now in. When he was selected No. 2 overall, there was a clear path to playing time on offense. Brian Thomas Jr. was the only real threat, but a year later, that Jacksonville wide receiver room is now packed.
The team acquired Jakobi Meyers before the trade deadline last season, and Trevor Lawrence went nuclear after his arrival. The coaching staff was so impressed with what they saw out of Meyers that they gave the 29-year-old a three-year, $60-million extension right before Christmas. Then you have the emergence of Parker Washington, who looked awesome down the stretch and was the fantasy WR3 overall in Weeks 16-18.
Add in Thomas, who struggled in 2025 but does have a 1,282-yard, 10-touchdown season under his belt, plus a young tight end in Brenton Strange, who caught 46 balls for 540 yards last year, and you begin to wonder just how much Hunter can contribute on offense as a pass-catcher.
The early rumblings are that Hunter will play more on defense in 2026. If that happens, it’ll be disastrous for dynasty managers, who likely had to spend a top-five pick in rookie drafts last year to acquire him. His value will plummet if he’s seen taking more snaps at cornerback than at receiver when training camp opens up.
And while I do think Hunter can develop into a solid NFL wideout (if that’s what he solely focuses on), the efficiency metrics weren’t pretty in the seven games he played:
- 1.41 yards per route run (WR66)
- 0.057 first downs per route run (WR77)
- 6.6 yards per target (WR81)
- +5.9 EPA (WR123)
Pretty gnarly stuff.
For some reason, he’s still valued as a top-24 fantasy wide receiver in many circles. I don’t see it. If you can get someone to pay you market price for Hunter, take it. I’d be happy with any first-rounder, so I could re-roll. I like the player; it’s just not an optimal environment for fantasy success, and I want out.
