Dynasty Trade Targets (Andrew Ball)
Jakobi Meyers, WR, Jaguars
Jakobi Meyers. Brian Thomas Jr. Travis Hunter. Parker Washington. There's going to be an odd man out of Jacksonville's wide receiver group. Let's follow the money and draft capital. The Jaguars gave up a king's ransom to trade up in the NFL Draft for Hunter (two first-round picks, a second, and a fourth). He, of course, profiled and was intended to be used as a two-way player. In his breakout game, just before his season-ending knee injury, he played 87% of the offensive snaps, compared to 20% on defense. If he had stayed healthy, that trend likely would have continued.
Thomas is also a former first-round pick. But after exploding onto the scene in his rookie season (PPR WR4), his production was nearly cut in half in year two. Rumors of the yips, a case of dropitis, and a colossal bust of a second season have some theorizing that he could be shipped away. However, it's rare, and typically doesn't make a lot of sense, to send away a talented wide receiver on a rookie contract unless it's a Godfather offer.
Meyers has the guaranteed cash in his favor. After acquiring the veteran from the Las Vegas Raiders midseason, Jacksonville signed him to a three-year, $60M extension, with $40M guaranteed. It's not that his individual production was superb. He averaged 4.6 receptions, 53.6 yards, and 11.9 PPR fantasy points. However, his steadying presence elevated the play from Trevor Lawrence, finally making him look like a former first-overall pick.
Logically speaking, Washington is the favorite to play the least amount of snaps. He's a former sixth-round pick, but he's been excellent, especially recently, out of the slot. In must-win games in Weeks 16, 17, and 18, Washington secured 19 receptions on 29 targets for 347 yards and two touchdowns. His skill set best suits the slot role, more than any other receiver on the roster. Meyers can be a slot receiver; he actually took more snaps there earlier in his career. But he's been better out wide in recent seasons.
So, whether he's in the slot or out wide, Meyers seems like a lock to be in most three-receiver sets. One could argue he's the least appealing name of the group. Dynasty managers are constantly looking for the next big thing. They'll trade away a proven asset for a second-round pick in rookie drafts and swing for the fences. In reality, collecting under-the-radar commodities is a winning recipe. Because he's perpetually underrated, Meyers can be bought for a mid-second pick. Would you rather roster Meyers or the chance of a rookie like Chris Bell or Ja'Kobi Lane developing into a starting-caliber NFL wide receiver?
Jared Goff, QB, Lions
NFL franchises often opt for a bridge quarterback. A team doesn't have a franchise signal-caller, but they aren't bad enough to select one at the top of the draft. Sometimes the bridge QB does well. Daniel Jones was on his way to a comeback campaign for the Colts before his Achilles injury. Sam Darnold earned himself a starting job in Seattle, thanks to his play in Minnesota. Baker Mayfield became Tampa Bay's franchise guy after excelling in his one-year, prove-it deal.
More often, however, the bridge quarterbacks don't pan out. For every Darnold, there's a Tyrod Taylor, Ryan Fitzpatrick, and Justin Fields (coincidentally, also all Jets). For every Mayfield, there's Case Keenum and Gardner Minshew II.
Jared Goff can be a bridge quarterback for a dynasty. Take a dynasty roster with Matthew Stafford, for example. He was the QB3 in his age-37 season, but is nearing the end of his run. Goff will be Detroit's starting quarterback for at least two more seasons, if not more, if the Lions decline to eat millions in dead cap money.
The best ability is availability. Consistency is a close second. Goff has started every game over the last four seasons and finished as a fantasy football QB1 in each year. Some years were slightly better than others (19.7 in 2024), but he hasn't dipped below 17 points per game. At worst, you're rostering a mid-QB2, who you know will be available and can thrive in the best matchups.
Because of his age, reputation, and immobility, Goff's ceiling has already been hit. There's no "What if..." for dynasty managers. He's not a scrambler, so there will never be bonus points for rushing. That's what makes Goff an easier acquisition than, say, someone like Mayfield. All this to say, Goff shouldn't be a QB1 on a contending roster, and rebuilders don't need to acquire him. However, he's an excellent backup option, or Superflex bridge QB2.
