Dynasty Trade Advice: 6 Players on New Teams to Buy or Sell (2025 Fantasy Football) ~ Sports 2X

Dynasty Trade Advice Players on New Teams

Navigating dynasty fantasy football trades can be tricky, especially when evaluating players on new teams. Offseason moves often shake up player values, creating unique buy-low and sell-high opportunities. In this article, our collection of Featured Pros experts breaks down which players on new teams you should target or trade away in your dynasty leagues. Whether you’re rebuilding or gearing up for a title run, this expert-driven advice will help you make smarter long-term roster decisions.

Dynasty Trade Advice: Players on New Teams to Buy or Sell

Which player who changed teams this offseason are you buying or selling now in dynasty leagues and why? Also, what are you willing to give up to get him?

Justin Fields (QB – NYJ) – Buy

“Only a few players saw their dynasty fantasy value improve after changing teams this offseason. However, Justin Fields was the biggest winner. After spending last season as a backup for the Pittsburgh Steelers, he signed a two-year deal worth $40 million in free agency with the New York Jets, likely giving him at least two years as the team’s starting quarterback. While he might not be the ideal NFL starting quarterback, the former Ohio State star is an appealing fantasy starter. Last season, Fields was the QB6 over the six weeks he started, averaging 19.1 fantasy points per game. Fields might not have fantasy value past 2026. Yet, I would trade an early second-round rookie pick this year in superflex leagues for the veteran quarterback.”

Jordan Mason (RB – MIN) – Buy

“The Vikings traded for Jordan Mason this offseason, and he is one Aaron Jones injury away from a full workload. I also don’t think this is a situation where Jones is the clear-cut No. 1 rusher. The Vikings GM recently spoke on his excitement for the Jones/Mason pairing in 2025. This is going to be a two-headed monster in Minnesota behind a revamped offensive line. I posted a poll on X of Jordan Mason versus the rookie 2.07, and it was a dead-even split. There’s the going rate, folks. It’s a late second/early third for an RB who is only 25 years old and was near the top of the league in rushing yards last year before his injury. The Vikings also only have four draft picks in this year’s upcoming draft, making it tougher for them to add yet another RB to the backfield.”

Sam Darnold (QB – SEA) – Sell

“If you have Sam Darnold on any Superflex dynasty roster, you should be shipping him away. Darnold will experience downgrades across the board in 2025 from play-caller, offensive line, and surrounding skill player talent. Darnold still has some of the Minnesota shine left on his dynasty outlook. That won’t last long. It’s time to move him immediately. ”

The Buy/Sell Dilemmas

Occasionally, our Featured Pros disagree on whether a player is a buy or a sell. When that happens, we just present both arguments and let you decide which one you agree with.

Davante Adams (WR – LAR)

Buy

“Davante Adams is a buy if you’re looking to contend this year in dynasty. Adams proved last year that he isn’t washed up. In Weeks 7-18, among 120 wide receivers with a minimum of 100 routes run, he ranked 27th in separation score and 34th in route win rate. After Week 11, his overall separation score was the 16th-best, and his route win rate was the 15th-best (per Fantasy Points Data). If I’m going for it all in 2025, I’d have no issues with shipping off a 2025 or 2026 second-round rookie pick for Adams.”
– Derek Brown (FantasyPros)

Sell

“He might not be entirely washed, but I want out of Davante Adams, even though he’s on the Rams now. He traveled from New York to Los Angeles, and boy, are his arms tired. With his best friend, Aaron Rodgers, as his QB, Adams finished as WR11 in PPR scoring. I just can’t see him doing that with Matt Stafford in LA, so I’m probably selling if I can get a good price for him.”
– Andrew Hall (FantasyPros)

Najee Harris (RB – LAC)

Buy

“For wide receivers, the LA Chargers offensive coordinator, Greg Roman, isn’t in the least bit appealing, but for running backs, it’s another situation entirely. Najee Harris has been playing with poor quarterbacks his entire NFL career, from late-stage Ben Roethlisberger to Kenny Pickett and then a mish-mash of Russell Wilson and Justin Fields, all the while with average to bad offensive coordinators and, frankly, awful offensive line play. Now, Harris, who hasn’t lived up to his Round 1 draft stock, finds himself playing with Justin Herbert behind an offensive line with some real upside and for a coordinator who knows how to create lanes. With only Kimani Vidal behind Harris, there is a good chance Harris could beat his career-high of 307 rushing attempts this year. I’d give up a pick as high as the 2.03 in Superflex leagues to get Harris.”
– Tom Strachan (NFL Best Ball)

Sell

“Buying veteran RBs during the offseason tends to result in poor ROI. Ergo, if there’s a veteran RB who has seen a boost to his stock on a new team, I’d take full advantage to capitalize. For me, Najee Harris is a strong sell in dynasty formats. He is only on a one-year deal, and his stock could fall dramatically if LA invests in another RB during the draft. I am putting Harris on the trade block with hopes of getting a late 2025 first in return. Heck, I’d flip Harris for Jayden Reed, Dak Prescott (SuperFlex), Jaylen Waddle, Ricky Pearsall, or Chris Olave. I’d even take Jaylen Warren straight up.”
– Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros)

“Interest in Najee Harris has been rekindled now that he’s signed with the Chargers, and this seems like a good opportunity to sell. After amassing 10 touchdowns and nearly 1,700 yards from scrimmage as a rookie in 2021, Najee has been merely adequate the last three years, averaging about 60 rushing yards and about 10 to 15 receiving yards a game. He’s been durable — Najee hasn’t missed a game over his four-year career — but not especially prolific. His yearly finishes in PPR points per game over the last three seasons: RB19, RB32, and RB25. I think there’s a decent chance the Chargers draft a running back to share the load, and with this rookie RB class so loaded, it’s possible the Chargers will find a running back better than Najee. I’d be willing to deal Najee for an early second-round pick or a promising young receiver like Jayden Reed or Keon Coleman.”
– Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros)

DK Metcalf (WR – PIT)

Buy

“Give me all of the DK Metcalf. I don’t even care who the QB is there; he will be the squeaky wheel and get plenty of targets alongside George Pickens on the other side of the field. Even if they stick with Jaylen Warren at RB, Metcalf should get plenty of opportunities to shine. Given how much the Steelers wanted him, I am fully on board with him having a great season again.”
– Andrew Hall (FantasyPros)

“Interest in D.K. Metcalf seems pretty tepid within the dynasty community these days, but I’m happy to buy the dip. Metcalf is coming off a mildly disappointing season (66 catches for 992 yards and five touchdowns), and he’s in a somewhat ambiguous situation in Pittsburgh. He’ll have to share targets with George Pickens, with those targets coming from a yet-to-be-identified starting quarterback. But at 27, Metcalf should be squarely in his prime, he’s been durable, and he’s never had fewer than 900 receiving yards in any of his six NFL seasons. If my dynasty team were RB-rich and WR-poor, I’d be willing to trade Kyren Williams or Josh Jacobs for Metcalf straight up. And with a dynasty team that I expect to contend for a title in 2025, I’d trade a later first-round rookie pick for Metcalf.”
– Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros)

Sell

“I’ve never been a big fan of DK Metcalf in dynasty leagues. However, I am completely out on the former Ole Miss star after getting traded to the Pittsburgh Steelers this offseason. The Steelers’ current 2025 Week 1 starting quarterback is Mason Rudolph. While the team could add Aaron Rodgers or a rookie quarterback during the NFL Draft, Metcalf won’t have an ideal quarterback throwing him the ball anytime soon. More importantly, the veteran is coming off the worst fantasy performance of his career since his rookie year. Last season, he finished as the WR32, averaging 10.5 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Furthermore, it was the first time the veteran had fewer than six receiving touchdowns in a year. I would happily trade away Metcalf for a 2027 first-round rookie pick.”
– Mike Fanelli (FantasyPros)

“No wide receiver has ever seen more than 119 targets in a season when Arthur Smith is their offensive coordinator, which will represent a dip in volume for Metcalf, who has surpassed that number in four of his five seasons, only missing out because of injuries in 2024. There is also the small matter of a complete lack of a quarterback for the Steelers, which seems noteworthy. Even in what now seems like the best-case scenario with the Steelers signing Aaron Rodgers, does his play style suit the physical and contested catch methods that Metcalf is known for? Rodgers loves taking the safe play and Metcalf doesn’t represent that. If I can get a first-round pick for Metcalf, I’d take it.”
