NFC Players To Sell In Dynasty Fantasy Football Leagues

John Johnson breaks down five NFC players you should move on from in 2025 dynasty fantasy football. Which NFC players should you sell ahead of the 2025 NFL season?

There are always players other dynasty fantasy football managers may still have faith in. It's not always readily apparent which will be good buys and which ones you should sell, but that's what I'm here for. It can be hard to let go of players who have helped you win in the past.

But you can sell that hope to someone else if it's a player who won't produce around what you'd expect for what their value is. That's important. They might have more good seasons, but if the cards are stacked against them, it might not be easy.

Let's break down the NFC's five biggest dynasty fantasy football sells ahead of the 2025-26 season.

QB Dak Prescott

You probably can't get much for him, but perhaps someone believes he has a few more good years in him. Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was on the decline last season, even before he tore his hamstring one play after his first attempt at running for a long gain. And since the offensive line isn't what it once was, Prescott isn't being carried by a good roster like he used to be.

He'll also be 32 years old by the time next season starts. He's locked into his contract with the Cowboys, so he isn't going anywhere. Perhaps another fantasy manager thinks he can rekindle some of his old fantasy magic, as he was a great player to have in 2023 and 2021, the last two seasons in which he played 16 or more games. And maybe that's true.

But his best days are probably behind him, and in his last five seasons, he's only played 12 or more games two times. He's an injury-prone QB who can't run with the ball anymore, which severely limits his upside. And owner, general manager, and team president Jerry Jones didn't try to hire a good coach this offseason and simply let Brian Schottenheimer be the lame duck.

He's reached new levels of senility and is delusional. And it's hard not to get the feeling that Prescott isn't just showing up for his paycheck, knowing good and well that the team has zero chance to even sniff a Super Bowl, much less make it past the Divisional Round.

RB Alvin Kamara

New Orleans Saints running back Alvin Kamara didn't play in his team's last three games of the season, yet still finished as the RB9 overall in full-PPR scoring. The genius offensive schemes of former Saints offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak elevated the entire offense and kept it functional despite a rash of injuries.

But Kamara will be 30 years old when the 2025 season starts, and he now has another massive 300+ touch season under his belt, along with that much more wear and tear on his body. And the team is in a horrible cap situation, over $50 million in the red for 2025. It won't be able to sign reinforcements for the offensive line.

Several older RBs have impressed in 2024. Who has aged the best?

It's pretty easily James Conner - over Derrick Henry, Alvin Kamara, or anyone else.

Two consecutive seasons forcing a missed tackle on over 25% of his carries at age 28+ is insane work.@FantasyPtsData pic.twitter.com/vciIpXgVvY

Also, this is a stacked running back class, and the team has likely wanted RB Kendre Miller to get more playing time, or at least someone to take a load off Kamara's shoulders. It might not have much confidence in Miller's ability to stay healthy, so it could opt to select another RB in the upcoming draft.

And if the Saints do, even if it's a middle or late-round pick, there's so much depth in the class that they could find someone good enough to demand immediate inclusion in the offense. Of course, this could help AK stay healthy, but the reduction in touches and reduced production could cause his value to sink further.

It's best to move on from him now after a great season. It's highly unlikely he will replicate it ever again.

RB Kyren Williams

He may still have one or two more seasons as the undisputed workhorse of this offense. But he fumbled the game away against the Philadelphia Eagles, and his ball security issues are becoming a problem. To add to that, while he averaged an excellent 5.0 yards per carry in 2023, that plummeted to 4.1 yards per rush in 2024.

His value is massively boosted by the ridiculous number of touchdowns he's fortunate to get. The majority of them are on short-yardage and goal-line carries, and 16 TDs is nothing to scoff at, but those roles can fade very quickly in the NFL.

While many have pushed back at the idea that backup Blake Corum could eat into his workload due to his lack of production and touches in his rookie year, Williams was put in the same doghouse, and his rookie year stats are remarkably similar to Corum's. It's likely that head coach Sean McVay simply isn't interested in giving backfield work to rookies. Or anyone that isn't Puka Nacua.

Williams is heavily volume-dependent. Much like the Saints, the Rams could opt to pick up a running back late, though it's unlikely. The more believable scenario is that Corum eats into Williams' workload much more, and that would greatly threaten his production, which is dependent on a huge volume of touches and nearly all the work in the red zone.

His value has likely peaked now. Selling him is probably a good move. Even if he hangs onto his huge role and continues getting fed a ton of touches, you'll be able to get a great return for him.

WR Terry McLaurin

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin got his quarterback of the future, and it's a great one. Quarterback Jayden Daniels had a historic rookie season, and his efficiency was off the charts. But one of the biggest problems with the offense was a lack of a viable WR2 option.

A 34-year-old tight end in Zach Ertz simply doesn't cut it as a No. 2 option, and the team struggled in the playoffs against the great Philadelphia Eagles defense. Daniels and the entire offense were repeatedly hampered severely by the fact that all his other wideouts were just not very good.

Somewhere in the multiverse, Terry McLaurin never had to deal with a revolving door at QB for most of his career and has 5 WR1 seasons.

He did have a fantastic season, but it was partially propped up by an unsustainable touchdown rate. Some of which will probably be tossed to other WRs down the road. He caught 82 of his 117 targets for 1,096 yards and 13 touchdowns in the regular season. Almost no receivers log 13 or more receiving scores in two consecutive seasons, even future Hall of Famers like Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans.

McLaurin probably has some good seasons left in the tank, but that will help you get more value for him. One of the most identifiable situations in which a WR is overvalued is after a big season where he was the only good receiver on the team and a new option is added in the offseason. And the Commies are expected to add someone.

WR A.J. Brown

For the foreseeable future, Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown will share a team with running back Saquon Barkley and the best (or at least one of the best) offensive lines in football. The Eagles passed the ball at the lowest rate in the NFL in 2024 because they just didn't need to throw it a lot. Their OL opened up massive holes for Barkley to run through, and he rewarded them by carrying the hell out of the offense.

And he didn't take much punishment, as far as NFL backs usually do. The holes opened up by the offensive line and the sheer amount of free runs he got helped contribute to that. The wildly successful plan of using Barkley to grind the clock down and make the defense's job easier while also running for long scores took a ton of pressure off the passing game.

And being able to control the clock helped greatly. Conversely, for Brown, his volume diminished. And sharing the field with DeVonta Smith doesn't help, either. Brown saw a slight decline in his points per game. Philly also lost its offensive coordinator, Kellen Moore, who became the Saints head coach.

Brown is a fantastic receiver, that much can't be denied. But the situation isn't what it could be, and you can trade him for a huge haul, considering that he'll be 28 before next season starts. I'd rather have the haul.
