Welcome back for the final Dynasty Vet Values article of the 2024 season! Week 14 has arrived, which means the Fantasy Football playoffs are approaching. For those leagues with a trade deadline of Week 14 (or no trade deadline), you still have time to make some moves and improve your championship odds on your contending teams. In this series, I cover veteran players who are excellent targets for your contending teams based on current Dynasty market value. We all know youth and longevity are essential to remain competitive in Dynasty. But the ultimate goal is to win fantasy championships, and sometimes that means acquiring that “win-now” asset who may be past his prime.
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Ross ‘fantasybuff’ Madden, and in this article, I will deliver some can’t beat winning spice advice. I’m hopeful some of these guys will bring added value to your Dynasty teams. Grab these guys before the moment others are bidding against each other to buy. They are not players for whom we are trading valuable assets. However, As “The Million Dollar Man” Ted DiBiase once said, “Everyone has a price”.
We’re only three weeks into the 2024 NFL season, but enough has changed within the Dynasty Fantasy Football landscape that I felt it would be a fun exercise to run through my own startup mock draft. This mock will be based on a Dynasty Superflex, Tight End Premium format. I’ll run through the first round (12 picks) in this article, but keep an eye out for Part 2, where I’ll cover my second-round guys!

Welcome to the first edition of The Weekly Devy Notebook. I like to sit on my couch each week and watch as many college football games as possible while monitoring the latest football odds. I’ve always been a guy who prefers my information live rather than on film if I can. With so many games to watch and players to monitor, I find it difficult to keep track of all the Devy and C2C assets in my rankings. For self-organization, I like to make notes while I’m watching the games of important college players. The idea behind this weekly article series is to provide a window into my player notes (hence the name) and give readers something that is both comprehensive and easy to digest. Anyone can look at the box scores of these college games, but I am here to shed some light on what I am seeing in real time. At the end of each article, I will also compile a list of players I will be keying in on in the following week of college football so you know which games to turn your attention to.
Injuries are unpredictable, but they are a part of football nonetheless. We’ve all been in a situation where one of our contending rosters gets hit by the injury bug, crushing our championship aspirations. It’s a part of Dynasty football. But one way to help leverage our Dynasty bets our FanDuel Football Bets, and potentially benefit from in-season injuries is to roster players with contingent value, meaning someone slated for a large workload if the starter goes down.
2023 was not the fantasy year that the Carolina Panthers were hoping for. The Carolina Panthers sent the Chicago Bears the ninth overall pick in 2023, the 61st overall pick in 2023, a 2024 first-round pick, a 2025 second-round pick, and D.J. Moore for the first overall selection in the 2023 draft. The Carolina Panthers then selected Bryce Young out of the University of Alabama as their franchise quarterback—the first staple at the position since the Panthers selected Cam Newton first overall in 2011. The fairy tale did not come to fruition in 2023.
Welcome back for part two of this two-part series, where we’ll be covering the five biggest fallers in Dynasty value over the past 30 days, according to KeepTradeCut. If you missed part one, discussing the biggest risers, you can check that article out here. We’ve already received tons of news on players and depth charts as training camp is underway, resulting in some fluctuation in Dynasty value and potential NFL lines so be sure to visit the Ohio Sportsbook. Below, I’ll explain why the market has cooled on each of these five players and then discuss whether I believe the value change is warranted.
In today’s article, I’m referencing the five biggest risers in Dynasty value over the past 30 days, according to KeepTradeCut. I plan to make a follow-up article discussing the five biggest fallers, so check that out as well. We’ve already received tons of news on players and depth charts as training camp is underway, resulting in some fluctuation in Dynasty value and potential NFL lines so make sure to download Betway. I’ll cover these risers, explain why the market is high on said player, and then cover whether I believe the value change is warranted. Let’s take a look at who the Dynasty market is buying right now.
Many of you have probably heard the assessment that the WR2s in Dynasty (WR13-24 overall) are one long, flat tier. If you’re on the clock in your Dynasty Superflex startup in the fourth and fifth rounds and are targeting a wide receiver, deciding between this list of players can feel overwhelming. Generally, the best strategy is to trade back in this situation, get whatever “plus” on top, and draft towards the end of this tier. Most of the WR2s have similar enough fantasy projections that I’d prefer to let someone else take “their guy” while they provide me with an extra rookie pick or startup pick, and I’ll take whoever is left.
In the Dynasty format of fantasy football, it’s easy to get caught up in future projections with rookies that we have not seen play yet at an NFL level. It’s important to look ahead at what these rookies will accomplish in the future, but each one has a starting point that will affect their future value and influence betting lines at sites with the most popular features. Some players will break out immediately, and some may take time to develop based on their talent level and how quickly they get an opportunity to see the field. Here are the top Dynasty rookie running backs and what to expect in fantasy and at the sportsbook in 2024.

Once he reached Los Angeles, Palmer waited patiently in the wings behind target hogs Keenan Allen and Mike Williams. Up against the salary cap this past off-season, the Chargers were forced to make some difficult roster decisions. This included moving on from both star wide receivers (Allen and Williams). Palmer currently stands as the WR 70 for Dynasty on Keep Trade Cut, representing how the Dynasty community as a whole values him. This is Gabe Davis, Michael Wilson, Jalin Hyatt, and Darnell Mooney territory. I am acquiring Palmer with confidence for any of these players.

With talk regarding player values bountiful, now is the time for a deep dive into a Dynasty faceoff between a couple of former Florida State Seminole teammates, Trey Benson and Keon Coleman. Both players are projected as early-round two targets in Dynasty Rookie Drafts while also impacting Fantasy NFL Strategies. I’ve seen questions regarding which of these players should be drafted higher within this year’s rookie class and I wanted to take a deep dive into each prospect. The question everyone wants to know when it comes to Dynasty Rookie Drafts: Do I draft Trey Benson or Keon Coleman first?
