The Combine is here, franchise tags are flying, and two starting quarterbacks have one foot out the door. If you play dynasty fantasy football, the next two weeks are the biggest trading window of the offseason — and it is not particularly close.
Prices are about to shift dramatically once Anthony Richardson and Tua Tagovailoa find new homes. Once the running back free agent class settles into landing spots, the buy-low windows slam shut. The smart play is not to wait for the news. It is to act before it drops.
Here are eight dynasty trades we think you should be making right now.
The Buy-Low Targets
1. Anthony Richardson (QB, IND) — ADP 98
Richardson just requested a trade out of Indianapolis, and the market is treating him like damaged goods. At ADP 98, he is priced as a low-end QB2 in a league where his rushing ceiling alone makes him a weekly top-12 threat in the right system. Minnesota reportedly has mutual interest, and picture this: Richardson throwing to Justin Jefferson (WR, MIN, ADP 5). That pairing vaults his value 30 to 40 spots overnight.
His cap hit is only $5.4 million — one of the cheapest trade targets in the entire league for NFL front offices. That same logic applies to your dynasty league. Buy him now for a second-round pick equivalent while his price reflects the uncertainty, not the upside. This is exactly the kind of asymmetric bet that wins dynasty leagues.
2. Kyle Pitts (TE, ATL) — ADP 84
Atlanta franchise-tagged Pitts, and here is the part that matters most: Kevin Stefanski is now calling plays. Stefanski has a documented history of featuring tight ends in his offensive schemes, and Pitts posted a historic rookie season in 2021 before two years of offensive dysfunction buried his production.
The tag means he stays in Atlanta with Drake London (WR, ATL, ADP 17) and Bijan Robinson (RB, ATL, ADP 2) drawing defensive attention. At ADP 84, the market is pricing him as a low-end TE1. If the Stefanski connection clicks — and we think it will — that number should be 20 spots higher. Acquire him before the preseason buzz starts.
3. Tua Tagovailoa (QB, MIA) — ADP 76
This is the most polarizing buy-low on the board. Tua's $212.4 million extension includes $54 million fully guaranteed in 2026, leaving $99.2 million in dead cap if Miami simply cuts him. A trade is the only realistic path out, and the Dolphins will likely eat significant salary to make it work.
Per ESPN's Adam Schefter, an NFC North destination looks most likely. Meanwhile, Miami is exploring a swap involving Jalen Milroe (QB, SEA, ADP 189) and draft capital — signaling a full rebuild in South Florida.
Here is the dynasty angle: Tua sits at ADP 76, but our rankings have him at 158th overall. That is an 82-spot gap. Normally, that screams "avoid." But if Tua lands in Green Bay, Chicago, or Detroit with real weapons around him, his fantasy floor rises substantially. A third-round dynasty pick could land you a quarterback with genuine league-winning upside if the landing spot cooperates.
4. Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR, SEA) — ADP 5
A buy-low at ADP 5? Hear us out. If Kenneth Walker (RB, SEA, ADP 41) leaves Seattle in free agency, the Seahawks offense gets thinner, and JSN's ADP will likely dip in the coming weeks as the market adjusts. That dip is your entry point.
JSN is 24 years old and already an elite route runner. The talent is not going anywhere even if the supporting cast changes. If you can acquire him from a panicking owner who sees Walker's departure as a death sentence for Seattle's offense, you are buying a top-10 dynasty receiver at a discount.
The Sell-High Targets
5. Jonathan Taylor (RB, IND) — ADP 2
Taylor is currently the second overall pick in PPR ADP, and that price assumes a functional offense around him. With Richardson requesting a trade and the Colts staring at a potential quarterback downgrade, Taylor's 2026 outlook is shakier than his market price reflects.
He is 27 years old and coming off strong production, but running backs at that ADP need everything around them to be right. If Indianapolis replaces Richardson with a rookie or a bridge quarterback from this weak 2026 draft class, Taylor's ceiling drops hard. Sell him now while his ADP is still elite, and convert that value into younger assets or a position with less volatility.
6. Breece Hall (RB, NYJ) — ADP 32
The Jets locked Hall in with the transition tag after his first 1,000-yard rushing season (1,065 yards). Sounds like a positive headline, but dynasty managers should read between the lines. A transition tag is not a long-term commitment — it gives New York the right to match offers, but it signals they are not ready to pay him top-of-market money.
Hall is 24 and productive, but the Jets offense remains a question mark. ADP 32 is peak value for a player whose situation could look very different by September. Move him for a package that nets you a younger receiver and a draft pick.
7. De'Von Achane (RB, MIA) — ADP 8
Achane's PPR value is heavily tied to the passing game, and the Dolphins are openly shopping their starting quarterback. If Tua leaves and Miami pivots to a rebuild, Achane's receiving volume could crater. He was electric in 2025, but his slight frame and the incoming roster upheaval make ADP 8 feel like peak pricing. Sell before the Tua trade is finalized and Achane's value adjusts downward.
8. George Pickens (WR, DAL) — ADP 28
Dallas is expected to franchise-tag Pickens at roughly $28 million, locking him in as Dak Prescott's (QB, DAL, ADP 34) number two receiver behind CeeDee Lamb (WR, DAL, ADP 6). The tag provides short-term clarity, and Pickens' ADP has likely peaked because of it.
But a franchise tag is a one-year solution, not a marriage. Pickens has the talent to be a true WR1 on a different team, but in Dallas he is the second option in a run-heavy scheme. If your league is treating the tag news as a positive, this is the moment to cash in and sell at ADP 28 before the market realizes his ceiling is capped as long as Lamb is in the building.
The Bottom Line
Dynasty leagues are won in the margins, and the margins right now are enormous. The gap between what the market thinks these players are worth and what they will actually be worth in two weeks is wider than it has been all offseason. Richardson and Tua's landing spots will move the needle. Walker and Etienne signing with new teams will shake up backfield hierarchies across the league. Saturday's Combine workouts for skill position players could create new dynasty darlings overnight.
Make your trades now. By March 11 when the new league year starts, these prices will be gone.
