Matt's updated dynasty fantasy football rankings, risers, and fallers for November 2025. His fantasy football dynasty trade value chart with buy/sell advice.
Business is starting to pick up. It's that time of the year when managers really have to work for it. On one end, many managers are jostling for playoff positioning and deciding whether to go all in or sit back for another season. Meanwhile, others have turned their attention to the future, looking to leave 2025 behind and sell off aging assets to build future draft capital.
But which players should dynasty managers be targeting, both now and for the future? Look no further than RotoBallers' November Dynasty Marker Report.

Fantasy Football Dynasty Rankings (November 2025)
Dynasty Rankings Trending Upward
Oronde Gadsden II, TE, Los Angeles Chargers (+124)
Previous rank: 198
Current rank: 74
Anyone who routinely checked in on my offseason musings knew just how much fantasy potential the converted wide receiver from Syracuse had at the tight end position. Since Week 6, one of the biggest movers in fantasy has been none other than Chargers pass catcher Oronde Gadsden II.
From a strictly fantasy perspective, the 15.2 fantasy points that Gadsden has been accumulating weekly have him sitting as the fourth-highest scoring tight end over that period, trailing only Trey McBride, Brock Bowers, and the now-injured Tucker Kraft. Expanding that to all pass catchers, Gadsden would qualify as the WR13, ahead of Puka Nacua and A.J. Brown.
While Gadsden had an MRI back on November 10 (knee/quad), that should not deter fantasy players from what Gadsden has accomplished over the last month or so. Before the Week 11 contest, no rookie tight end in NFL history had gone on a heater like the one Gadsden experienced, not Bowers, not Kyle Pitts Sr., Jordan Reed, or Jeremy Shockey had topped the 377 receiving yards over a four-game stretch like Gadsden had done.

From Weeks 7 through 11, Gadsden's 322 yards led the NFL as the rookie had earned an impressive 13.42 yards per target, 16.10 tards per reception, and a 2.50 yards per route run, all of which were the most at the tight end position over that four-week sample.
Even with pass catchers such as Ladd McConkey, Keenan Allen, Quentin Johnston, and Tre' Harris involved, Gadsden has been heavily involved in the offense, setting the tone with a 16.9% target share along with a 20.3% air yards share, both of which are comparable to what McBride has done in Arizona.
Parker Washington, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars (+66)
Previous rank: 279
Current rank: 213
In Week 10, Parker Washington led the Jacksonville Jaguars in targets, routes, and slot snap rate (57.4%), while earning a 23.3% target per route. At the same time, newly acquired Jakobi Meyers slowly acclimates himself to the Jaguars' offensive system. Some may see Meyers' additions as a threat to Washington's long-term prospects. Still, Washington has an opportunity for himself as Travis Hunter was placed on IR and Brian Thomas Jr. continues to deal with a wide variety of ailments.
Over the course of the Jaguars' previous three contests, Washington has seen 26 targets head in his direction, earning a very respectable 21.9% target share along with a 25% first-read share. Digging a little deeper into the data, we also see that Washington has left some fantasy points on the field, as he had earned 334 air yards and a 34.2% air yards share.

Watching Washington in Week 10 against Derek Stingley Jr. and the Texans should be enough evidence in itself to garner Washington some respect. First, he beat his man with a hard inside route, then he went between two defenders and tapped the toes for a beautiful touchdown.
Rico Dowdle, RB, Carolina Panthers (+62)
Previous rank: 159
Current rank: 97
What Rico Dowdle is doing really shouldn't surprise anyone, should it? After all, we did witness what the Panthers back was capable of accomplishing when afforded an opportunity, as he rushed for 1,079 yards (4.59 yards per attempt) in 2024, while with the Dallas Cowboys, and averaged 13.5 fantasy points per game from Week 4 onward.

It may still be challenging to process, but in the NFL, Javonte Williams (80.0) and Dowdle (79.0) are the two leading rushers on a per-game basis, however, since Week 5, it's been Jonathan Taylor (120.8), then Dowdle (117.5), then a huge gap before we hit James Cook (103.8) in terms of rushing yards per game. Only those three backs have topped the century mark on a per-game basis over that period.
Credit the Panthers; they didn't necessarily follow the money. When Chuba Hubbard returned, they did give him an opportunity. Still, Hubbard's ineffectiveness, along with Dowdle's production, was too great to ignore, and the Panthers continued to roll with the hot hand approach. Since Week 5, Dowdle has averaged 5.83 yards per attempt, earned a 31.8% explosive run rate, picked up 32 first downs, forced a league-best 34 missed tackles, and churned out 388 yards after contact (3.21 yards after contact per attempt).
Other Notable Risers: Chimere Dike (+85), Joe Flacco (+62), Kyle Monangai (+59), Dalton Schultz (+56), Alec Pierce (+52), Sean Tucker (+48), Christian Watson (+40), Troy Franklin (+29), Tyler Shough (+25), Jaxson Dart (+20), Jaylin Noel (+20), Tez Johnson (+16), Jaylen Warren (+15), Kayshon Boutte (+14), Kyle Williams (+14), Rashee Rice (+13), Chris Olave (+11)
Trending Downward
Justin Fields, QB, New York Jets (-55)
Previous rank: 118
Current rank: 173
When it comes to boom/bust options at the quarterback position, no other player is more synonymous with that terminology than Justin Fields. In eight contests this season, Fields has produced 20 or more fantasy points on four occasions; conversely, he has also produced eight or fewer fantasy points an equal number of times. Fields has become the NFL's version of Thanos' "perfectly balanced," minus the Infinity Stones.
Fields is always going to hold that Konomi Code fantasy upside with his ability to make things happen with his legs, but if he can't establish himself as a passer, he could find himself being benched this season and eventually replaced come next April's NFL Draft, as each loss he picks up pushes the Jets closer and closer to a potential franchise quarterback.
Since Week 6, Fields' fantasy production has been so bad that Tyler Shough, Davis Mills, and Dillon Gabriel are all starting to look pretty good. How bad do you have to be to make those three quarterbacks welcome fantasy options? How does 9.4 fantasy points per game sound? Yes, I threw up a little in my mouth there.
Ronnie Hickman was in the right place for the INT 👀

Since Week 6, Fields is completing 58.3% of his passes, and his 389 passing yards in those four starts are 35th in the NFL. That's 97.3 passing yards per game. Andy Dalton, Marcus Mariota, Tyler Huntley, and even Tyrod Taylor averaged more passing yards per game when they had their chances under center.
Jacory Croskey-Meritt, RB, Washington Commanders (-41)
Previous rank: 85
Current rank: 126
While Fields tries to navigate life without Garrett Wilson, Jacory Croskey-Merritt must do the same without Jayden Daniels lining up under center in Washington. Let's dive into the JCM fairy tale that we were told as children. Week 1 through 5, Croskey-Merrit averaged 0.35 missed tackles forced per attempt. A healthy reason for that was that teams needed to adjust for Daniels and whether he'd pull the ball and run it himself.
During Croskey-Merritt's first five contests, the rookie Commanders back ran for 283 yards, averaging 6.58 yards per attempt with 40.6% of his rushing yards coming on explosive runs and 150 of those yards coming after contact (3.49 yards after contact per carry). From Week 6 through 9, Croskey-Merritt's missed tackles forced per carry have dipped to 0.12, while he has also experienced a decline in yards per attempt (3.08) and yards after contact per attempt (2.12). For perspective, during that first sample, 150 yards came after contact over five contests; in the second sample, through four contests, Croskey-Merritt has just 157 rushing yards total.
Those struggles on the field have been devastating to fantasy managers who thought they found a diamond in the rough after the Washington running back averaged 12.1 fantasy points per game to start his rookie campaign. Turns out it was fool's gold, as Bill has averaged just 4.1 fantasy points per game since.
Jerry Jeudy, WR, Cleveland Browns (-22)
Previous rank: 93
Current rank: 115
Week 10 notwithstanding, Jerry Jeudy's 2025 fantasy season has been an absolute disaster. On the season, the 26-year-old Browns playmaker has averaged a pedestrian 7.5 fantasy points per game. That's including his 19.8-point performance against the lowly Jets. There was a time when fantasy managers were selecting Jeudy in the fifth round of fantasy drafts as a solid WR2 coming off a WR12 2024 season that saw him produce 240.9 fantasy points.
Before that Week 10 contest against the Jets, Jeudy sat 79th in receiving yards with 257. That's 32.1 receiving yards per game on 22 receptions through eight contests. Despite the low production, Jeudy had been targeted 6.5 times per game and had seen 666 air yards along with a 36.8% air yards share. While he may have been 79th in receiving yards, his air yards were the 24th-most, and his first-read target share of 24.2% was 36th with a 67.3% catchable ball rate (not great).
For Jeudy, it comes down to quarterback play. Can Dillon Gabriel be the answer the Browns fans have been yearning for for more than 20 years, or does Cleveland management need to reassess the position once again? If Gabriel isn't the answer, is Shedeur Sanders the next man up? Until we know what the future holds under center, it's hard to trust Jeudy as a viable fantasy option.
Other Notable Fallers: Darren Waller (-55), Cooper Kupp (-41), Chuba Hubbard (-34), Chris Godwin (-33), Cam Ward (-33), Keenan Allen (-32), Trevor Lawrence (-29), Kyler Murray (-26), Quentin Johnston (-26), Brock Purdy (-24), Zach Ertz (-16), Elic Ayomanor (-15), Mike Evans (-14), Tony Pollard (-14), Courtland Sutton (-12), Brian Thomas Jr. (-12), Bucky Irving (-9)
Fantasy Football Dynasty Trade Value Chart
Name to Know
Devin Neal, RB, New Orleans Saints (+12)
Previous rank: 205
Current rank: 193
After finishing as the RB5 in fantasy last season, averaging 19.0 fantasy points per game, the wall or age cliff has smacked Alvin Kamara in the face as hard as any back this season. Before rushing for 83 yards in Week 10, Kamara had not topped 35 yards rushing since Week 4, and more importantly, has yet to finish as a top 12 fantasy option at the running back position in any given week this season.
With Kamara's struggles in the run game and the injury to Kendre Miller, a door has been opened for Devin Neal to become fantasy relevant this season and for seasons to come. Over Neal's final three collegiate seasons at Kansas, Neal would rush for 3,636 yards, average 6.04 yards per carry, score 41 rushing touchdowns, and catch 23 passes per season.
Maximize Return
Kimani Vidal, RB, Los Angeles Chargers (+44)
Previous rank: 208
Current rank: 164
Look, Omarion Hampton is going to return. Whether it's in Week 13 or the start of the 2026 season, Hampton will return, and Kimani Vidal could go back to being an injury away from being relevant once more.
What Vidal has done since Week 6 has been impressive. The Chargers' back has accumulated 404 yards on the ground, averaging 4.44 yards per carry while picking up 202 of those 404 yards after contact. What Vidal has accomplished with his 104 opportunities ( 91 carries/ 13 targets) is an average of 14.2 fantasy points per game, making him the RB19 over that period.
Right now, Vidal still has value as he will be in line for continued volume, having carried the ball 23 or more times in two of his last three contests, which other managers should find attractive.
At this time, with Hampton still out and no established timetable to return, savvy managers should be able to flip Vidal to a contending team for a 2027 second-round selection. You could get a 2026 pick easy enough, but most fantasy managers aren't looking that far ahead and are more likely to part with the pick in what many believe is a stronger draft class.
Buy the Dip
Ricky Pearsall, WR, San Francisco 49ers (-20)
Previous rank: 43
Current rank: 63
In each of the previous monthly reports, we have nailed the players that fantasy managers should be targeting. In September, after a disappointing performance in Miami, we stood by Jaylen Waddle. In October, during the Jake Browning Era, we recommended targeting Chase Brown while his value was at its lowest. In November, the player you need to have on your radar is 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall.
When it comes to Pearsall, we don't know what we'll get. The last time Pearsall stepped on the field was back in Week 4, yet over that four-game period, Pearsall was the WR24, averaging 13.1 fantasy points per game, and caught 20 of the 29 passes that went in his direction for 327 yards. In two of the four games in which Pearsall has suited up for this season, he has topped 100 yards receiving.
What makes Pearsall more enticing is that he was building upon an impressive final two contests of his rookie campaign that saw him close out the season with 14 catches for 210 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns. Over those final two contests, Brock Purdy would target Pearsall 18 times.
Purdy to Pearsall! wow

— NFL (@NFL) September 28, 2025
Ahead of Week 11, both Purdy and Pearsall returned to practice with the hope that they will both be inserted into the lineup when the 49ers head to the desert to face the Cardinals. After Week 11 or possibly Week 12, the buy window may shrink as Pearsall works his way back into game shape. For those with an eye on the fantasy playoffs or the 2026 season, the time to get Pearsall on your roster is now.
