Wide Receiver Trade Targets

DJ Moore, WR, Chicago Bears (Age 27)

DJ Moore is consistently a solid WR2, commonly ranked around WR24 in dynasty leagues. This offseason, his situation in Chicago has improved dramatically with the hiring of offensive coordinator Ben Johnson, substantial upgrades to the offensive line, and the expected second-year leap of quarterback Caleb Williams.

The departure of veteran Keenan Allen opens up additional targets. Also, emerging talent Rome Odunze will help divert defensive attention away from Moore. I’ve recently seen him traded straight-up for David Montgomery in a dynasty league of mine. Moore is an affordable option who could provide tremendous value.

Davante Adams, WR, Los Angeles Rams (Age 31)

Ranked around WR40 primarily due to his age. Davante Adams remains one of the league’s most consistent receivers, finishing in the top-14 fantasy WRs in eight of the last nine seasons. Joining Matthew Stafford and the Rams positions Adams perfectly to continue producing at an elite level.

Stafford is known for maximizing receiver output, previously demonstrated with Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua. Adams can typically be acquired for a second-round pick, making him an ideal target for teams aiming for immediate championships.

Chris Godwin, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Age 29)

Chris Godwin, now ranked at around WR42 in dynasty and WR31 in redraft formats, is poised for a bounce-back season. Before a knee injury sidelined him, Godwin was on pace for a massive season of over 1,400 yards and 12 touchdowns. Having returned to his primary slot role, he thrived with Baker Mayfield at quarterback.

Tampa Bay’s three-year extension during his recovery signals strong confidence in Godwin’s long-term health and production. Available at a modest cost, Godwin is a strong candidate for early-to-mid second-round picks.

Quarterback Trade Target

Trevor Lawrence, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars (Age 25)

Currently undervalued at dynasty QB17, Trevor Lawrence has demonstrated QB1 upside previously, finishing as QB8 and QB13. The Jaguars have significantly improved his supporting cast by adding offensive linemen Robert Hainsey and Patrick Mekari, addressing crucial protection needs.

Lawrence also benefits from ascending weapons like wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. (1,282 yards, 10 TDs as a rookie) and tight end Brenton Strange. With the team committed to protecting their franchise quarterback, Lawrence is positioned to rise back into QB1 territory soon.

Christian McCaffrey, RB, San Francisco 49ers (Age 29)

Despite concerns due to recent injuries, Christian McCaffrey remains a dynamic talent, ranked often around RB15 in dynasty. His most recent injury—a PCL issue—will have ample time to heal. Christian has already stated that he has no injuries holding him back.

The 49ers’ recent decision to trade backup Jordan Mason demonstrates confidence in McCaffrey’s recovery. Fantasy managers can acquire McCaffrey at discounted rates, typically a mid-to-late first-round pick, offering elite RB potential crucial for title contenders.

Strategic Consideration

Second-round dynasty rookie picks only hit around 25% of the time historically. Leveraging these picks to acquire proven veterans like the players listed here is often the smarter strategic move, maximizing immediate fantasy returns.

Conclusion

Taking proactive offseason actions by targeting undervalued stars like Moore, Adams, Godwin, Lawrence, and McCaffrey can set your dynasty team on a path to a championship. Start conversations today and lock in these high-upside players before their trade values inevitably rise.
