Alec Pierce's Dynasty Hype May Be Creating a Sell-High Opportunity
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (ankle) posted the most productive season of his career in 2025, recording 47 catches for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns on 84 targets across 15 games. The Colts rewarded him in the offseason, handing him a four-year, $114 million contract. The new money comes with new responsibility as well, as Pierce could shift into Indy's WR1 role following the team's offseason trade of wideout Michael Pittman Jr. to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Pierce showed signs of becoming a more well-rounded wide receiver in 2025, but he's still never averaged more than 5.6 targets per game in a season and is heavily reliant on downfield production. Pierce is also recovering from offseason ankle surgery, which isn't expected to impact his availability to open 2026 but could be a limiting factor on his performance. If the Colts' passing game as a whole takes a step back in quarterback Daniel Jones' (Achilles) first year back from a torn Achilles, Pierce's production may not take the leap many are expecting. In dynasty formats, managers may want to look to capitalize on the growing hype around Pierce with a sell-high trade.

Quarterback Uncertainty Creating a Buy-Low Window for Drake London?
Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Drake London had the second half of his 2025 season derailed by a PCL strain in his left knee, which caused him to miss time. Even still, the 24-year-old finished the year with 68 receptions for 919 yards and seven touchdowns on 112 targets across 12 games. London's fantasy value has consistently been impacted by shaky quarterback play in Atlanta. That issue could persist in 2026, as the Falcons enter the season with the questionable quarterback duo of Michael Penix Jr. (knee) and Tua Tagovailoa. However, London has a track record of steady production, and he figures to absolutely dominate targets in a Falcons offense that currently features Jahan Dotson and Olamide Zaccheaus as the next wide receivers up on the depth chart. Given his injury in 2025 and the quarterback uncertainty in Atlanta, dynasty managers may be able to take advantage of a buy-low window on London entering 2026.

Davante Adams: Dynasty Sell-High Candidate Entering Age-34 Season
Across 14 games in 2025, Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Davante Adams recorded 60 receptions for 789 yards and 14 touchdowns on 114 targets. Adams developed immediate red zone chemistry in his first season with Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford, leading the NFL in touchdown catches despite missing three games with a hamstring injury. However, Adams failed to reach 1,000 receiving yards in a season for the first time since 2019 and is blocked from being the number one option in his team's passing game by the presence of Rams wideout Puka Nacua. While Los Angeles projects to once again have a prolific passing offense, any slippage from the team's aerial attack may make it difficult for Adams to buoy his production with touchdowns in 2026. As Adams enters his age-34 season, dynasty managers may be wise to cash in on his value with a sell-high trade.

Rhamondre Stevenson's Dynasty Outlook Clouded by Crowded New England Backfield
Despite being limited to 14 games by a toe injury, New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson recorded 948 yards from scrimmage and nine touchdowns on 162 touches in 2025. It was a major step forward from an efficiency perspective for Stevenson, who recorded just 21 more scrimmage yards on 78 more touches in 2024. Heading into 2026, Stevenson's workload figures to be limited by the presence of fellow Patriots running back TreVeyon Henderson. Stevenson was New England's feature back during its run to the Super Bowl last season, which can't be forgotten. Still, Henderson was a second-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft who flashed big-play upside as a rookie and could take over more of a true RB1 role in his second season. Even if the workload remains split between the two backs, Stevenson's pathway to consistent fantasy production may require a Henderson injury. In dynasty formats, managers may have one final window to sell high on Stevenson ahead of the 2026 season.

Is Bo Nix Currently Undervalued in Dynasty Formats?
Across 17 games in 2025, Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix (ankle) threw for 3,931 yards and 25 touchdowns while rushing for 356 yards and five scores. The 26-year-old's season ended in disappointing fashion when he suffered a broken bone in his ankle in the AFC Divisional Round, but he's expected to be ready to go for the start of 2026. While Nix hasn't been particularly efficient (6.5 yards per pass attempt) to this point in his career, he's averaged nearly 35 pass attempts per game across his two seasons playing for Broncos head coach Sean Payton. In 2026, Nix's high-volume approach could get an efficiency boost from the presence of new star wideout Jaylen Waddle, whom the Broncos acquired from the Miami Dolphins over the offseason. If Nix can take even a small step as a passer while maintaining his solid contributions with his legs, he could be poised for a breakthrough into mid-tier fantasy QB1 territory in 2026 and beyond.

Rico Dowdle's Dynasty Value Fading Ahead of First Season in Pittsburgh?
Pittsburgh Steelers running back Rico Dowdle is entering his first year with the team in 2026 after racking up 1,373 scrimmage yards and seven touchdowns on 275 touches across 17 games with the Carolina Panthers in 2025. Dowdle began the year as the RB2 in Carolina but eventually took over the lead role following an early-season injury to Panthers back Chuba Hubbard. While Dowdle's season-long numbers are impressive, his production tailed off down the stretch of the season after Hubbard returned from injury. Dowdle failed to crack 60 rushing yards in any of his final eight games of the season and logged just six touches in the Panthers' playoff loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Dowdle now enters a similar backfield dynamic in Pittsburgh, where he figures to split touches with Steelers back Jaylen Warren. Dowdle's upside in the event of an injury to Warren could be enormous, but his production figures to be limited as long as both backs are splitting touches. In dynasty formats, managers may want to consider selling high on Dowdle.

Is Cooper Kupp Still Roster-Worthy in Dynasty Formats?
Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp posted one of the least productive seasons of his career in 2025, recording 47 catches for 593 yards and two touchdowns on 70 targets across 16 games. After many years as a WR1 with the Los Angeles Rams, Kupp fell into a secondary role in Seattle behind superstar Seahawks wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba. Entering 2026, Kupp still projects to be behind Smith-Njigba on the target pecking order and may also slip below younger Seattle wideouts Rashid Shaheed and Tory Horton. While the veteran Kupp still provides value as a trusty possession receiver, he no longer offers the same production upside he did at his peak as he enters his age-33 season. In dynasty formats, managers may want to consider dropping Kupp in favor of a younger pass-catcher.

Should Dynasty Managers Be Looking to Sell High on Christian McCaffrey?
San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey was an unquestionably dominant force in fantasy football in 2025, collecting 2,126 yards from scrimmage and 17 touchdowns on 413 touches across 17 games. Even in a year in which he averaged just 3.9 yards per carry, McCaffrey provided ridiculous receiving production with 102 catches for 924 yards and seven scores on 124 targets. As long as McCaffrey stays healthy, he has a solid chance to finish as the overall RB1 once again in 2026. However, dynasty managers need to at least consider selling high on the superstar back. McCaffrey is entering his age-30 season in 2026. He also has an extensive track record of injury issues and is coming off a year in which he led the NFL in touches. The last time McCaffrey led the league in touches was 2023, and he followed that up by playing just four games in 2024. For dynasty managers who are not in immediate contention in their leagues, moving McCaffrey for a king's ransom could be the right call.

Does Braelon Allen Still Carry Dynasty Buy-Low Appeal Following Jets' Offseason Moves?
New York Jets running back Braelon Allen was one of the buzzier names in fantasy circles leading into the 2025 season. However, the 22-year-old suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 4 that prevented him from eating into the workload of Jets RB1 Breece Hall. While Allen should be ready to go for the start of 2026, Hall remains in New York after signing a three-year, $45.75 extension with the Jets over the offseason. As a result, Allen's path to fantasy-relevant production in New York appears to be blocked off by Hall for the foreseeable future. He remains an appealing handcuff option for fantasy managers, but his dynasty stock is falling entering 2026.

Kyler Murray Offers Clear Dynasty Buy-Low Appeal After Offseason Change of Scenery
Veteran quarterback Kyler Murray's time with the Arizona Cardinals came to an ugly end in 2025, as he struggled across five starts before suffering a foot injury that ultimately ended his season. However, the 28-year-old is healthy and ready to go entering 2026, and he landed a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings over the offseason. While Murray is nominally in a quarterback competition with J.J. McCarthy in Minnesota, the widely held expectation is that Murray will assume the team's QB1 role. With the Vikings, Murray will work with a play-caller in Kevin O'Connell who has orchestrated multiple successful quarterback reclamation projects. Murray also has a pair of excellent wide receivers to throw to in Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. While Murray's career has taken a turn for the worse in recent seasons, he still carries high-end dual-threat fantasy upside. Across 17 games in 2024, Murray threw for 3,851 yards and 21 touchdowns while rushing for 572 yards and five scores. If he can stay on the field in 2026, he has a golden opportunity to revitalize his career with the Vikings.

Rachaad White: Prime Dynasty Buy-Low Candidate Ahead of Possible Bounce-Back Campaign
After spending the first four years of his NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, veteran running back Rachaad White signed a one-year, $2 million contract with the Washington Commanders in March. White's market cratered after an uninspiring final year in Tampa in which he recorded 790 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns on 172 touches. However, the 27-year-old could have a golden opportunity to revitalize his career in 2026 with the Commanders. As currently constituted, the Washington backfield looks like an open battle for playing time between White, Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Jerome Ford, Jeremy McNichols, and Kaytron Allen. Even if the high-upside Croskey-Merritt takes hold of the lead rushing role, White's extended track record as an above-average receiver out of the backfield should allow him to carve out a significant role with his new team. In dynasty formats, fantasy managers may want to consider buying low on White ahead of a possible bounce-back season.

Is Jake Tonges Currently Undervalued in Dynasty Formats?
Across 17 games in 2025, San Francisco 49ers tight end Jake Tonges recorded 34 catches for 293 yards and five touchdowns on 46 targets. Nearly all of the 26-year-old's production in games where top 49ers tight end George Kittle (Achilles) was either sidelined or forced to leave early due to injury. In seven such contests, Tonges recorded five top-12 fantasy finishes at the tight end position. While a healthy Kittle will block Tonges from consistent fantasy production, Kittle is currently working his way back from a torn Achilles tendon that ended his 2025 season in January. The veteran Kittle is targeting Week 1 as his return date, but that would be just eight months after the injury and may not be feasible. As a result, Tonges profiles as a quality stopgap injury replacement for Kittle managers. In dynasty formats, Tonges may even profile as the tight of the future in San Francisco with Kittle entering his age-33 season and coming off a serious injury.

Can Chig Okonkwo Become a TE1 in Dynasty Leagues?
Washington Commanders tight end Chig Okonkwo is trending upward after his change of scenery this past offseason. The Commanders signed Okonkwo after he spent four seasons with the Tennessee Titans. With the Titans, he managed to rank as the TE25 or higher every year. That stretch included three consecutive finishes as the overall TE21 from 2023 through 2025. He's always been a decent option for targets, and his ability to stretch the field gives him explosive upside. However, he's been relatively uninvolved near the goal line for a tight end. He caught three touchdowns as a rookie in 2022, and he had just two each of the last two seasons. We like Okonkwo's chances to find the end zone more often in Washington. During his two years as a Commander, Ertz totaled 11 touchdowns, averaging 0.37 touchdowns per game. The Washington offense has some work to do as a whole, but Okonkwo is the clear No. 1 tight end here, and he could ultimately be Jayden Daniels' second-favorite target behind Terry McLaurin. Despite finishing lower than TE20 every year, the Maryland product has jumped to TE17 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Aaron Jones Sr. Trending Down in Dynasty Leagues
Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones Sr. is trending in the wrong direction as he prepares for his age-31 season. Injuries limited Jones to 12 games last year, and it marked the second time in three seasons that he missed at least five weeks. The veteran ball-carrier finished the 2025 campaign with 548 rushing yards, 199 receiving yards, and three touchdowns. He finished as the RB41 in PPR leagues, which was his worst mark since his rookie season in 2017. While being healthy for 2026 will help his stock a little, Jones is losing dynasty appeal as he gets older and his role shrinks. Jones no longer has control over the lead-back role in Minnesota. At best, he's splitting touches with Jordan Mason, and we also can't rule out the possibility that Mason takes over the starting job. Jones has always been a capable pass-catcher, so that will keep him relevant in PPR leagues for a little while, but the trajectory is unfavorable. Jones has fallen to RB53 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Romeo Doubs Offers Dynasty Upside Even as the No. 2 Receiver
New England Patriots wide receiver Romeo Doubs could face some competition soon. The Patriots' plan to acquire A.J. Brown from the Philadelphia Eagles is the worst-kept secret in football, and a deal is expected to come together in the month of June. When that happens, Doubs' role will shrink, but we still expect him to remain a fantasy-relevant option for years to come. Drake Maye took a huge step in Year 2, but he was missing a true No. 2 receiver. Doubs will fill that role behind Brown, and the Patriots' offense is successful enough to support two fantasy-relevant wide receivers. Doubs may not be Maye's first read all the time, but he'll also benefit from Brown pulling away opposing teams' No. 1 cornerbacks. All in all, we're not too worried about the Brown trade, and we still think that Doubs, who is signed through 2029, can be a top-36 fantasy receiver for several years to come. At the moment, he ranks as the WR58 in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings.
