16 Top Dynasty Fantasy Football Trade Targets (2026)

Dynasty fantasy football never really has an offseason, and managers should be looking to acquire high-upside players throughout the year. Our collection of Featured Pros experts breaks down the top dynasty fantasy football trade targets to pursue in 2026

Top Dynasty Fantasy Football Trade Targets

Which RB are you targeting now in dynasty leagues and why? Also, what are you willing to give up to get him?

Jonathon Brooks (RB – CAR)

“Jonathon Brooks has barely played since being selected in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, but he is finally fully healthy entering his third season. We’ve already seen Chuba Hubbard lose his job once. Panthers HC Dave Canales already said Brooks will have a chance to compete for the starting job. I expect him to have an immediate impact as a receiver out of the backfield, given that element of the offense has been missing from the Panthers RB room. In his limited NFL playing time, Brooks commanded three targets and caught all of them for 23 yards despite playing a total of 23 offensive snaps. Both Canales and GM Dan Morgan have praised Brooks (s/o @Coachspeakindex). The RB will be 23 in July, but he is valued outside the top-30 RBs in the FP Dynasty Value Chart. Send Jacory Croskey-Merritt or a late 2nd/early 3rd rookie pick for Brooks.”

“Jonathon Brooks has reportedly been “turning heads” at OTAs and is back to full health. The former second-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft has the skill set to usurp Chuba Hubbard on the depth chart if he can simply stay on the field. I think the market is baking in the injury concerns too much and not fully considering the upside case. I would give up running backs like Chuba, Kyle Monangai, or David Montgomery straight up for Brooks in dynasty.”

Bucky Irving (RB – TB)

“With the panic in the streets over Bucky Irving, I’m trying to buy at a discount. People already seemed concerned about the possibility of Irving becoming a committee back, and now we’re getting an ominously vague timetable for Irving’s recovery from a shoulder injury. There are 3.5 months before the start of the regular season, so I’m not sweating the Bucky injury news just yet. As for Irving’s role, it’s amusing that some people think Kenneth Gainwell is such a threat to Irving’s workload. Irving had 1,514 yards from scrimmage and eight touchdowns as a rookie despite beginning the year in a backup role. He averaged 3.93 yards after contact per attempt, best among all RBs with at least 60 carries. Gainwell averaged 6.7 carries per game last season, and that was a career high. And the numbers say Irving is the better pass catcher: He’s averaged 1.56 yards per route run so far in his NFL career, while Gainwell has a career average of 1.19 yards per route run. Some of the players I’d trade for Irving straight up in a superflex league: Baker Mayfield, Brian Thomas Jr., Jaylen Waddle, Zay Flowers.”
– Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros)

“Getting your hands on a top 10 RB in dynasty without overpaying is nearly impossible; instead, I’m looking for running backs that may have a negative sentiment from their current owners or the industry, with long-term upside for which I can potentially underpay. Bucky Irving averaged over 14 PPR points per game and had 3 spike weeks of over 27 PPR points across 2024 and 2025, and even though he only played in 10 games last year, he still averaged 1.1 runs of > 10 yards (putting him next to TreVeyon Henderson, who the field deems explosive). I understand the shoulder injury concerns, goal line usage, and the addition of Kenneth Gainwell, but those are the very reasons Bucky is coming in cheap. He’s only 23 years old, and we’ve seen what he can do. I’ll gladly dangle some 2026 2nd round draft capital for him or even a late 2026 1st.”

Mike Washington Jr. (RB – LV)

“If I don’t say Jeremiyah Love, I’ll lose my fantasy analyst license. He’s the guy. However, since everyone knows how talented Love is and might not be able to acquire him, I’ll mention a second player I like, Mike Washington Jr. Washington is big (223 lbs.) and fast (he ran a sizzling 4.33 forty time at the combine). And if anything happens to Ashton Jeanty, Washington has the ability to fill in and be the bell cow RB. I would trade Devon Achane, Ashton Jeanty, or Jonathan Taylor for Love. And I’d trade JK Dobbins, Blake Corum, or Kenneth Gainwell for Mike Washington Jr. Ringo’s comps- Jeremiyah Love reminds me of Jahmyr Gibbs, while Mike Washington Jr. reminds me of Isiah Pacheco.”
– Mark Ringo (Sleepers and Busts)

Quinshon Judkins (RB – CLE)

“Right now, I am aggressively targeting Quinshon Judkins in dynasty leagues. His rehab is looking exceptional, and all signs indicate he is entering the season in the absolute best shape of his life. If a manager in your league is panicking or viewing his recent injury as a permanent setback, it creates a massive buying window. To lock him into my roster, I would happily give up a 2026 rookie second-round pick paired with a depth running back or wide receiver of slightly lesser value.”
– Lawrence Iacona (Gridiron Experts)

Kenneth Gainwell (RB – TB)

Which WR are you targeting now in dynasty leagues and why? Also, what are you willing to give up to get him?

Ladd McConkey (WR – LAC)

“Don’t hold the 2025 OL injuries against the Chargers’ skill players, specifically Ladd McConkey. The Chargers’ WR failed to live up to his expectations from his rookie season, as Keenan Allen‘s presence capped his target/production ceiling in a Greg Roman-led offense. The 33-year-old WR LED the Chargers in targets in 2025 (hyper-targeted on third downs). McConkey finished WR28 overall and WR37 in PPG, averaging 9.2 half-PPR PPG across 16 games on a 20% target share. But Los Angeles enters 2026 top 10 in vacated targets — one of the more open opportunity environments in the AFC — which is a notable positive signal for McConkey’s volume heading into next season. With Roman replaced by Mike McDaniel, we should expect McConkey to finish closer to his rookie season, when he averaged 2.6 YPRR. The former Dolphins HC knows how to deploy his WRs to achieve peak efficiency both for real-life and fantasy purposes. Especially given how many TE-heavy sets the 2026 Chargers project to use after the additions of free agents Charlie Kolar and David Njoku, McConkey will be running routes with inferior pass-catchers on the field. Send a mid -to-late first round rookie pick for the 24-year-old WR one year removed from nearly 1150 yards and a WR13 overall finish.”
– Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros)

Xavier Worthy (WR – KC)

“I’m open to the possibility that Xavier Worthy was never truly healthy last season after his collision with Travis Kelce in the Chiefs’ season opener resulted in a dislocated shoulder and torn labrum. Worthy played 14 games last year and finished with 42 catches for 532 yards and one touchdown. His 2025 season looked nothing like the torrid stretch he had late in his rookie season. Over a 10-game stretch from Week 11 of 2024 through the Super Bowl (discounting Week 18, when he played one snap), Worthy averaged 5.8 catches and 67.9 receiving yards a game, with six touchdowns. If I could get Worthy for, say, Chuba Hubbard, RJ Harvey or Isaiah Likely, I’d pounce.”
– Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros)

Parker Washington (WR – JAC)

“Parker Washington might not be a sexy name, but he’s set up to score a lot of points in 2026. After two pedestrian seasons to kick off his NFL career, Washington broke out in year three, specifically in the second half of the year. Washington scored 17+ PPR points in seven of his final 10 games of the year (including the playoffs). He finished the season as the WR21 in target rate and WR16 in yards per route run, indicating his 2025 production was no fluke. See if you can buy Washington for an aging veteran like Mike Evans, Davante Adams, or Michael Pittman. In a contract year, he has plenty of incentive to show out and secure a big second contract.”
– Jim Moorman (Dynasty Football Factory)

“I’m stoked about Parker Washington and keen to watch him work as the primary slot in Liam Coen’s offense over a full 17-game slate. He didn’t really break through until Travis Hunter went down with an injury, but once he did, he was superb — especially in the final month. While the Jaguars were pushing for a playoff berth, Trevor Lawrence leaned on Washington in the passing game, printing fantasy points in the process. From Week 16 through the playoffs, he averaged 22.3 fantasy points per game while piling up 457 receiving yards and three touchdowns. The next closest receiver on the roster was Jakobi Meyers, who had 140 scoreless yards in that span. Washington could be a player who swings weekly matchups if he picks up where he left off in 2025. On a contending roster, I recently flipped Davante Adams for Washington, and I’d happily trade a 2026 rookie pick in the 1.10-1.12 range to land him in more leagues.”

Jordyn Tyson (WR – NO)

“Carnell Tate may have been the first WR taken in the NFL Draft, but many scouts believe that Jordyn Tyson is the more talented WR. Injuries caused Tyson to slip a little on draft day. However, Arizona State WR coach and former Steelers WR, Hines Ward, alleviated those concerns. He said (I’m paraphrasing here) Tyson’s toughness was admirable when he refused to abandon his teammates in a game despite injuring his hamstring. I would trade Carnell Tate, Chris Olave, or Rashee Rice for Jordyn Tyson. Ringo’s comp- Tyson reminds me of a lighter version of former Cowboys’ WR Dez Bryant.”
– Mark Ringo (Sleepers and Busts)

Wan’Dale Robinson (WR – TEN)

“The wide receiver I am targeting in Dynasty leagues is Wan’Dale Robinson. Coming off a massive 1,000-yard breakout season, he signed a major free-agent deal with Tennessee and is already showing electric chemistry with second-year quarterback Cam Ward at OTAs. At just 25 years old, Robinson is entering his physical prime and will be called upon heavily out of the slot under offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. To bring him to my roster, I would happily give up a 2026 rookie third-round pick paired with an established veteran like Jakobi Meyers or Chris Godwin to seal the deal.”
– Lawrence Iacona (Gridiron Experts)

Which QB/TE are you targeting now in dynasty leagues and why? Also, what are you willing to give up to get him?

Greg Dulcich (TE – MIA)

“Miami Dolphins tight end Greg Dulcich is my favorite cheap TE target in dynasty. He could be a sleeper to emerge as his team’s No. 1 target given how barren the depth chart is in South Beach. New Miami Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan was asked on Kevin Clark’s podcast at the owners’ meetings: Which guy on the roster are you excited to take the leap and get better in 2026? His answer was Dulcich. The Dolphins tight end finished second among TEs in yards per route run from Week 9 onward. 2nd in YAC/catch among tight ends, trailing only Tucker Kraft. Send a rookie third-round pick for Dulcich, who is only 26 years old.”
– Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros)

Tucker Kraft (TE – GB)

“I don’t think there’s much of an injury discount to be had on Tucker Kraft, but I’m willing to pay something close to full price even though he’s coming off an ACL tear and a small meniscus tear. After a 2024 breakout season in which he had 50 catches for 707 yards and seven touchdowns, Kraft was taking his game to an even higher level in 2025, with 32 catches for 489 yards and six touchdowns in eight games. Kraft averaged 2.33 yards per route run last season — a remarkable number for a tight end. Kraft is a George Kittle clone who’s averaged 8.8 yards after catch per reception over his career. There’s room for Kraft’s target share to grow, with WRs Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks no longer in Green Bay. Among the players I’d sell for Kraft straight up: Chase Brown, Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown and Brian Thomas Jr.”
– Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros)

Bo Nix (QB – DEN)

“Bo Nix. This kid just posted back-to-back QB7 overall finishes, yet he’s still being valued as a high-end QB2, according to Expert Consensus Rankings (ECR). We’re talking about a young franchise quarterback on one of the best teams in the NFL who has the full support of his head coach. Add in a legitimate rushing floor (3.9 career PPG rushing), and you have the ideal quarterback prospect from a dynasty perspective. I prefer Nix over quarterbacks like Justin Herbert and Jaxson Dart. You could also look to sell Patrick Mahomes or Jalen Hurts and get a significant “plus” on top.”
– Jim Moorman (Dynasty Football Factory)

Kenyon Sadiq (TE – NYJ)

“Kenyon Sadiq is a matchup nightmare. He’s too fast for linebackers (he ran a blistering 4.39 forty at the combine). And he’s too big for DBs. He has excellent run-after-the-catch ability to make big plays. My only concern with Sadiq is his landing spot, but if Geno Smith can steady the offense until New York finds their QB of the future, Sadiq could vault himself into the upper echelon of NFL TEs sooner than many folks realize. I would trade- Tyler Warren or Tucker Kraft straight up for Sadiq. Ringo’s comp- Sadiq reminds me of a lighter version of Vernon Davis.”
– Mark Ringo (Sleepers and Busts)

AJ Barner (TE – SEA)

“AJ Barner is the tight end I am targeting in dynasty leagues. My pre-2024 NFL Draft scouting report labeled him a future stud, and that patience is paying off as he steps into the undisputed starting role for Seattle. New offensive coordinator Brian Fleury brings a tight end-friendly scheme from San Francisco that relies heavily on 12 personnel, guaranteeing Barner a massive, consistent snap share. With Kenneth Walker III gone and Zach Charbonnet recovering from injury, they will not want to run rookie Jadarian Price into the ground this early in his promising career, allowing Barner to emerge as a premier safety blanket for Sam Darnold. To secure him before his market completely explodes, I would happily give up an older tight end, a 2026 rookie second-round pick, and a younger receiver or running back package.”
– Lawrence Iacona (Gridiron Experts)

Brock Bowers (TE – LV)

“I’ve gone big-game hunting recently and was able to land Brock Bowers in a couple of leagues. Being the TE1 or TE2 in nearly everyone’s rankings, he obviously isn’t cheap — far from it. But last year’s injury-plagued TE11 finish in total fantasy points has opened an extremely small buying window to acquire a generational player. Savvy managers know he was the TE2 in fantasy points per game, and that was on an abysmal offense where nothing went right. Now he gets Klint Kubiak as his head coach and playcaller, along with No. 1 overall pick Fernando Mendoza as the long-term quarterback. The future is ridiculously bright for Bowers, who could dominate the position for the next decade the way Travis Kelce has done. I’m willing to deal multiple first-round picks, or a combo of equivalent picks and players to get him, and I suggest you do the same if the opportunity presents itself.”
