Joey breaks down five players drafted in the 2023 NFL Draft that are sells in dynasty fantasy football leagues. His sells include Jayden Reed, Tank Dell, and more.
The 2023 NFL Draft had plenty of star power at the top. Will Anderson Jr. was selected third overall, Bijan Robinson was selected eighth overall, Jahmyr Gibbs was selected 12th overall, Christian Gonzalez was selected 17th overall, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba was selected 20th overall. With three seasons under each of those players' belts, it's pretty clear who the stars and busts are from this draft class.
That makes now a good time to analyze the biggest sells in dynasty fantasy football leagues from that 2023 draft class. This list will feature five players who dynasty managers should be looking to get rid of this offseason. These players are either ranked too high or trending downward as they enter the 2026 season.
So, who are the five biggest sells from this 2023 draft class right now? What is their current value in dynasty formats? Let's dive in and find out.

QB C.J. Stroud, Houston Texans
Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud was once considered a top dynasty asset. After a dominant fantasy season that saw Stroud finish as the overall QB11 in all formats, the Ohio State product was ranked as the overall QB2 on KTC entering the 2024 campaign. His youth, combined with his strong rookie performance, made him an appealing dynasty quarterback going forward.
However, things have gone downhill for Stroud since that encouraging rookie season. He has finished outside the top 16 at the quarterback position in back-to-back seasons and has failed to exceed his rookie year passing (4,108) and touchdown numbers (23) in both seasons. The Texans quarterback simply hasn't been a consistent option for dynasty managers over the past two years.
In 2025, Stroud only averaged 15.5 fantasy points across his 14 contests. He finished as a QB1 just four times the entire year and scored less than 15 fantasy points on eight different occasions. The 24-year-old was also non-existent as a rusher once he came back from a concussion, rushing for just 20 yards in his final six games.
That makes now the best time to sell him.

The big thing is that Stroud has significantly regressed as a passer. He ranked 25th in true completion percentage, 27th in true passer rating, and 35th in clean pocket catchable rate among all quarterbacks last year. He also doesn't run much, as he has yet to top over 250 rush yards in a season. Considering he ranked as the QB24 in fantasy points per dropback in 2025, he doesn't have much going for him right now.
Even though Stroud's dynasty value is a bit down, there's a good chance that you will still get some value for him. KTC currently has him ranked as the QB16 in its latest dynasty rankings.
WR Jayden Reed, Green Bay Packers
In his first two years in the league, Green Bay Packers wide receiver Jayden Reed was a consistent WR3 option for dynasty managers. He finished as the overall WR25 in PPR formats in 2023 and as the overall WR29 in PPR formats in 2024. Those two solid fantasy seasons led to Reed's dynasty value reaching WR26 in KTC's rankings in early 2025.
Since then, however, his dynasty ranking has continued to decline. The Packers selected Matthew Golden in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and Reed missed most of the 2025 season due to a broken collarbone/foot injury. That injury resulted in the Packers playmaker playing in only seven games last year, where he averaged just 6.9 PPR fantasy points per game.
While the injuries were a large reason for Reed's down year in 2025, it's best to trade him away this offseason. The Packers are a team that loves to spread the ball around on offense, and Reed hasn't been a major part of Green Bay's offense in his three-year career. Back in 2024, the former Michigan State star had just a 16.2% target share and a 63.7% snap share rate.
So, see what you could get in return for him. Reed doesn't have the biggest fantasy ceiling and seems to be capped as a WR3 in fantasy in Green Bay's offense. Even if he joins a new team after his contract is up after the 2026 season, it's hard to imagine him being the WR1 on any team. With a WR55 dynasty value on KTC, he's a sell.
WR Tank Dell, Houston Texans
Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell has had some tough injury luck to begin his NFL career. He was off to a fantastic start in his rookie season before fracturing his fibula in a Week 13 game against the Denver Broncos. Dell averaged 15 PPR fantasy points per game with four top-12 fantasy wide receiver finishes in the first 11 games of his career.
Then, Dell showed some more encouraging things in his second season. He caught six passes for 126 yards in a Week 9 game against the New York Jets and totaled six catches for 98 yards and one touchdown in a Week 16 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. But in that game against the Chiefs, the Texans' playmaker suffered a devastating season-ending injury.

On that play, Dell tore his ACL, MCL, LCL, had meniscus damage, and dislocated his kneecap. Even though that gruesome injury prevented the Houston product from suiting up during the 2025 season, all signs point to him being ready to go for this upcoming season. With that being the case, it's best to see if anyone in your league is looking to acquire the 26-year-old.
Dell has suffered two brutal injuries so far in his career, and there's a strong chance he is never the same player on the field. The Texans also just recently selected two wide receivers on Day 2 in the 2025 NFL Draft. That means Dell has to compete for playing time with Nico Collins, Jayden Higgins, and Jaylin Noel in 2026 and beyond.
That's enough reason to sell him for whatever you can get at this point.
WR Quentin Johnston, Los Angeles Chargers
After an inconsistent rookie campaign, Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Quentin Johnston has been a much better fantasy option in each of the past two years. He averaged 11.6 PPR fantasy points in 2024 and averaged 12.2 PPR fantasy points in 2025. For a wide receiver who averaged only 5.5 PPR fantasy points in Year 1, Johnston has shown noticeable growth on the field.
However, Johnston is a sell from the 2023 draft class.
There are still concerns surrounding the former TCU star as he heads into his fourth NFL season. He has never seen more than 95 targets in a season, had only a 19% target share last year, and the Chargers aren't really designing plays for him on offense. Johnston ranked outside the top-25 among all wide receivers in designed targets and first-read target share in both 2024 and 2025.
With Johnston also ranking as the WR40 in fantasy points per target last season, he'll likely never be a consistent WR3 in fantasy. He is behind Ladd McConkey on the depth chart, and 2025 second-round pick Tre' Harris should see more opportunities in the passing game moving forward. That could mean another inconsistent season for him in fantasy.
There just isn't enough appeal to keep Johnston right now. He has been extremely up-and-down in fantasy over the past two years and has yet to finish as a top-30 wide receiver in PPR formats in his career. Dynasty owners who are looking to trade him could get a solid second-round pick for him.
WR Michael Wilson, Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson is easily the biggest sell from the 2023 draft class in all dynasty leagues. The primary reason is that Wilson is likely overvalued at this point due to his incredible second half. Wilson averaged 21.2 PPR fantasy points in the final eight games of the season and was a league winner in all formats.
The problem, though, is that dynasty managers shouldn't expect a similar run from Wilson in 2026 and potentially beyond. Most of his best games last season came when Marvin Harrison Jr. was out with injury, and Jacoby Brissett was under center. This upcoming season, Harrison will operate as the team's WR1 again, and Brissett is likely not going to be Arizona's quarterback.

Given that Harrison will assume WR1 duties and Trey McBride is the top pass catcher in this offense, Wilson will not repeat his strong second-half numbers this upcoming season. That makes him the perfect sell in most dynasty formats because some managers might view his second-half stretch as the start of something big.
Rather, Wilson could go back to being the wide receiver who was non-existent in this Cardinals offense. He will operate as the third option in the passing game, and no one really knows how his career will pan out if he decides to leave Arizona next offseason. If you can somehow get a late first-round pick for him, that would be a major win for your dynasty team.
