Baltimore Ravens

Buy -- RB Derrick Henry

Jesse Minter is a defensive-minded head coach, but his exposure to offensive philosophy under Jim Harbaugh (with both the Chargers and Michigan) suggests a physical, run-oriented identity. Bringing in Declan Doyle as offensive coordinator reinforces that expectation. Doyle's background under Ben Johnson, Sean Payton, and Dennis Allen points toward a balanced but run-first approach.

Even at 32 years old, Derrick Henry continues to defy the traditional age cliff. He saw fewer carries than in 2024 yet maintained strong efficiency and high-end production. In dynasty, perception suppresses his price more than performance does.

If Henry can be acquired for a second-round pick, that's strong value for a player who remains a weekly lineup anchor. Contenders especially should take advantage of the market discount.

Sell -- TE Mark Andrews (Midseason)

This is more of a timing sell than an immediate one.

Doyle's tight end background (two years coaching the position in Denver) suggests continued involvement for Mark Andrews. With a heavier run approach, play-action and middle-of-the-field usage should remain central to the offense -- areas where Andrews thrives.

However, Andrews turns 31 after the season. His contract structure becomes more flexible for the team, and even if he stays, his dynasty window is narrowing. If he produces early, flipping him midseason for youth or picks makes sense for retooling teams.

Buffalo Bills

Buy -- RB James Cook

Joe Brady's promotion to head coach continues the offensive trajectory we saw when he took over in 2024.

James Cook's red-zone usage has steadily climbed:

• 2023: 29 red-zone carries
  
• 2024: 42
  
• 2025: 56
  

He isn't priced like Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs, or Christian McCaffrey -- and that's the opportunity. You're paying RB7--RB10 prices for a player with top-three upside in a stable offensive environment.

Sell -- WR Khalil Shakir

Buffalo has lacked a true alpha wide receiver but have attempted to fix that issue by trading for Bears wideout D.J. Moore. Whether Moore can be an alpha for Buffalo is another debate. The addition of Moore isn't the best news for Shakir who loses target ceiling. He has yet to eclipse 100 targets in Joe Brady's offense or finish higher than WR36. There's little reason to assume a breakout beyond what we've already seen. So, if you can secure fair value, this is a good exit point.

Cleveland Browns

Buy -- RB Quinshon Judkins

Quinshon Judkins quietly impressed last season:

• 230 carries
  
• Eight games with 15+ carries
  
• 21st in yards after contact
  

Todd Monken's offenses (most recently in Baltimore) have leaned run-heavy -- the Ravens ranked second in rush attempts per game last year. Add Cleveland's uncertainty at quarterback, and volume should remain strong.

Judkins is 22 years old and firmly part of the team's long-term plans. His late-season ankle injury may create a buy window. For patient dynasty managers, that's an opportunity.

Sell -- TE Harold Fannin Jr.

Fannin is talented, but usage concerns loom.

Monken leaned heavily into two-tight end sets in Baltimore, splitting targets between Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely. Cleveland could easily add another tight end in free agency or the draft.

Many of Fannin's big games came after David Njoku's injury. If the Browns add competition or a true alpha receiver, his target share likely dips.

He's still likely a top-four option in this offense, but if you can sell him as a rising primary target, the risk-adjusted move is to cash out.

Kansas City Chiefs

Buy -- QB Patrick Mahomes

Eric Bieniemy's return matters. During his previous tenure, the Chiefs never finished lower than fifth in passing yards. Under Matt Nagy, that ceiling dipped significantly.

A healthier Patrick Mahomes, paired with Rashee Rice and Xavier Worthy, raises the offensive outlook. Whether Travis Kelce returns or not, this should again be a pass-centric offense. Mahomes is cheaper than he's been in years due to injury and a “down” season. That's typically when you buy elite quarterbacks.

Sell -- Chiefs Running Backs

Kansas City has historically ranked in the bottom third in rushing attempts under Bieniemy.

Even at peak usage, backs like Isiah Pacheco rarely saw consistent 15+ carry workloads. Expect rotation and volatility.

Without dependable weekly volume, dynasty value is fragile. Selling into optimism is the prudent move.

Los Angeles Chargers

Buy -- RB Omarion Hampton

Mike McDaniel's reputation as pass-heavy is overstated. His offenses have been balanced, with strong efficiency in both phases.

Pairing him with Justin Herbert creates a system where the run sets up the pass -- a core Shanahan-tree principle.

Hampton fits that mold: vision, burst, and interior power. He carries legitimate top-five upside but is currently priced closer to RB7. That discount likely disappears once the season begins.

Sell -- WR Quentin Johnston

Some view Johnston as a Tyreek Hill archetype in this scheme. That's aggressive.

McDaniel's offenses emphasize separation and yards after catch -- traits more aligned with Ladd McConkey than Johnston. Johnston still struggles in contested catch situations and consistency.
His big-play flashes prop up his value. If someone is buying the ceiling outcome, it's reasonable to pivot.

Miami Dolphins

Buy -- WR Jaylen Waddle

Bobby Slowik's Texans offense leaned pass-first and elevated Tank Dell before his injury. Jaylen Waddle profiles similarly -- sharp route runner, explosive after the catch.

Quarterback uncertainty has suppressed Waddle's value, but he remains in his prime and under contract. If he can be acquired at a WR2 price, that's strong upside exposure.

Sell -- RB De'Von Achane

This is about market leverage.

De'Von Achane has finished as RB5 in back-to-back seasons. That allows you to demand multiple firsts or tier down while gaining assets.

Nearly half his fantasy production comes through the air. If passing-game usage dips -- or if goal-line work shifts -- his margin narrows quickly. Selling at peak value is defensible.

Pittsburgh Steelers

Buy -- TE Pat Freiermuth

McCarthy's West Coast principles emphasize short and intermediate routes. That should benefit Pat Freiermuth.

He's not priced as a difference-maker, but steady volume at a thin position carries value. For contenders, he's an affordable stability play.

Sell -- WR DK Metcalf

DK Metcalf thrives vertically. McCarthy's system leans more horizontal.
Quarterback uncertainty compounds the concern. Metcalf still carries strong name value -- if you're not contending, this may be the time to pivot toward younger assets.

Tennessee Titans

Buy -- TE Gunnar Helm

With Chigoziem Okonkwo headed toward free agency, Gunnar Helm has a path to the starting role.

Daboll has historically utilized tight ends effectively (see his time in Buffalo with Dawson Knox). Helm is inexpensive -- often a fourth-round pick -- and could provide solid return on minimal investment.

Sell -- QB Cam Ward

A good coaching staff can make an average quarterback into a good NFL quarterback, I'm just not sure this is the coaching staff to get him there. Ward's collegiate rushing production was modest (1.4 YPC over three seasons before improving to 3.4 in his final year). Daboll's most successful quarterbacks have added value with mobility.

With limited weapons and offensive uncertainty, Ward may take time to develop into more than a low-end fantasy option. In a shallow QB class, you may find a manager willing to pay a future pick -- a reasonable outcome.

Las Vegas Raiders

Buy -- TE Michael Mayer

Everyone wants Brock Bowers -- and rightfully so. But Michael Mayer could quietly gain value.

Kubiak's system in Seattle used multiple tight ends nearly 40% of the time. Mayer may not be a weekly starter, but increased usage could boost his trade value, especially with free agency looming.

Sell -- Raiders Wide Receivers

Outside of tight ends and the run game, there's little clarity here for a team that is also looking for a quarterback. The offense will prioritize a wide receiver who can be an alpha like Jaxon Smith-Njigba is. Whether it's Tre Tucker, Jack Bech, Dont'e Thornton Jr. or depth options, none profile as a true alpha. If the Raiders add one via draft or free agency, current receivers slide further down the pecking order. This is a sell-the-uncertainty situation before additional competition arrives.

New York Jets

Buy -- WR Garrett Wilson

Frank Reich has consistently funneled targets to his top receiver.

During his tenure in Indianapolis, his WR1 regularly doubled the next option in target share. Even during his short stint in Carolina, he ranked top four in pass rate.

Garrett Wilson remains an elite talent entering his prime. Injury and quarterback questions have softened his price. If he's available at WR2 valuation, that's a strong buy.

Sell -- TE Mason Taylor

Reich has produced high-end fantasy tight ends before, but usually elite ones. Taylor struggled with efficiency as a rookie and posted eight drops with a middling true catch rate.

With quarterback instability and limited historical tight end volume outside of outliers, Taylor carries more risk than upside at his current valuation.
