Dynasty fantasy football is all about thinking ahead, but sometimes the best way to build a long-term contender is by capitalizing on short-term market inefficiencies. Whether it’s a young player coming off a disappointing season, a veteran undervalued due to age concerns, or a player who may have already peaked, savvy managers know that timing the trade market can define a dynasty roster for years. Here are dynasty players to buy/sell.
Dynasty Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Players to Buy/Sell
Players to Sell
Which player are you selling now in dynasty leagues and why? Also, what kind of return are you looking for?
Jacory Croskey-Merritt (RB – WAS)
“Jacory Croskey-Merritt. I fully expect the Commanders to add to their backfield during the 2025 offseason. Bill is a former 7th-round draft pick (although the coaching staff has expressed confidence in him) after an up-and-down rookie season with flashes. Chris Rodriguez is a restricted free agent, but he’s likely to return (the team loves him). I don’t want to be caught holding the bag with JCM in the off chance his value evaporates with a Jeremiah Love-Commanders selection in this year’s draft. He will also turn 25 years old in April. Flip him for more upside in Jonathon Brooks.”

Cam Skattebo (RB – NYG)
“I hate to say it, but I’m worried about Cam Skattebo going forward. His rookie season obviously showed promise, but we’re still talking about a fourth-round pick with only five career starts coming off a brutal injury. There was also a recent insider report that the Giants are considering adding a big name to their backfield this offseason. That’s not a good sign for what they think of the sophomore RB (and/or his health). If you can reroll him into an average first-round Rookie pick, that’s probably worth doing on most teams.”
– Ted Chmyz (Fantasy Football Bots)
Travis Hunter (WR, DB – JAC)
“I am selling Travis Hunter, although it is probably too late. He is still ranked as the WR42, right after Michael Wilson, whom I would rather have, and fourteen spots ahead of Parker Washington, from his same team, who is a better option, if not the WR1 on the team! At this point, I would sell Hunter for whatever I could get. In every league, there is an owner willing to gamble on the player who is looking to be a gadget on offense and a full-time cornerback. I have seen him go for 2026 2nd round picks, and maybe you would package him for Romeo Doubs, who is an impending free agent and could land in a better situation that will feature his skillset.”
– Adam Dove (The Fantasy Couriers)
David Montgomery (RB – HOU)
“At 28 years old, we’re unlikely to get too many more good sell windows for David Montgomery. Yes, the Texans will likely make him their lead back ahead of Woody Marks, but that offensive line in Houston is truly miserable, and Montgomery is unlikely to be as efficient as he was in Detroit when he ran in an excellent scheme with excellent blocking. If you’re not a contender and can sell him for a mid-second round pick, that’s good business.”
– Tom Strachan (NFL Best Ball)
Courtland Sutton (WR – DEN)
“It’s time to move on from Courtland Sutton, and based on his ECR of WR36, you can still get a decent return. Sutton is now 30 years old and may be headed into his final season with Denver if he doesn’t produce at a high level. The Broncos can save a significant amount of money by parting ways with him after the 2026 season. What do you win when you win with Courtland Sutton? You get a very replaceable 12-13 PPR points per game. I’d much rather sell and re-roll before his value drops to zero. See if you can flip Sutton for his teammate, Troy Franklin. I’d also be comfortable selling Sutton for a 2026 mid-second-round rookie pick, or a random 2027 second-round pick.”
– Jim Moorman (Dynasty Football Factory)
Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – ARI)
“It’s not that I’m completely waving the white flag on Marvin Harrison Jr., but while some dynasty enthusiasts think a breakout season is imminent, I’m not as convinced. Cardinals TE Trey McBride is a target hog, and 26-year-old WR Michael Wilson is coming off an eye-opening 1,000-yard season. Plus, the Cardinals are rumored to be front-runners in the pursuit of free-agent QB Malik Willis. While Willis showed growth as a passer last year in a small sample with the Packers, he’s a running QB who’s unlikely to be a high-volume passer. The Cardinals led the NFL in pass attempts (649) last season. There’s bound to be regression in passing volume in Arizona, and the drop-off could be steep if Willis is the Cardinals’ new quarterback. A contending team with a need at RB might consider offering Harrison for either Christian McCaffrey or Kenneth Walker III. And if I had some WR depth and a need for a TE, I’d take Harold Fannin for Harrison straight up.”
– Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros)
Jameson Williams (WR – DET)
“I’m shipping off Jameson Williams everywhere I have him. Even with WR2 production over the last few years from Williams, at this point, he has proven that he’s not a high-end target share earner. The downfield role in one of the best offenses in the NFL is amazing, but you can’t hang your hat on his yearly or even weekly production with the volatility in how he scores his fantasy points. With Sam LaPorta coming back healthy in 2026, Williams could easily see his metrics regress into WR3 territory. If that happens, you’ll be glad you traded him away in dynasty. I’d look to get an early 2026 second-round pick or late 2027 first-round pick for Williams back in a trade.”
– Derek Brown (FantasyPros)
“The hype for Malik Willis is getting a bit out of hand. He’s up to QB30 (137 overall) in the FantasyPros’ dynasty ECR superflex rankings. This is for a player who’s attempted just 155 pass attempts in his career. Yes, he had some solid spot starts for the Packers this past season and will get paid during free agency. However, inaccurate mobile quarterbacks are a dime a dozen these days (see Justin Fields) and have proven to have short shelf lives. With a handful of rookie quarterbacks entering the scene, littered with potential veteran free agents, I’d rather cash out of Willis at what appears to be his peak value. I’d be looking to pair Willis with another asset to trade into the first round, or would take straight-up an early-to-mid 2026 second-round rookie pick.”
