Dynasty Tight Ends to Buy and Sell

Dynasty / By /

Welcome back, DFF Army! In today’s article, I’ll be looking at which tight ends you should target or sell in dynasty before the season, based on where your team currently stands. Let’s dive right in. 

Step 1: Figure out what your team is. (Based on 12-team leagues)

Top tier: projected top 4 team in your league, legit contender
Middle tier: projected to finish between spots 5-8 in your league
Bottom tier: projected to finish in the bottom 4 of your league

If you are not sure which you are, then check out the Dynasty Control Room. The league analyzer tool will tell you exactly where your team stands, how you project for future seasons, and what moves you need to make to increase your short-term and long-term value. 

Top Tier

If you are a top-tier team, hopefully you have a top-6 tight end (Bowers, McBride, Loveland, Warren, Fannin, and Kraft). If you do not, I would be trading for one of the following guys:

George Kittle – Mid-2nd Round
Travis Kelce – Late-2nd Round
Dallas Goedert – Late-2nd Round
Mark Andrews – Late-2nd Round
Juwan Johnson – Late-2nd Round/Early-3rd

They all have top-10 potential but are valued outside the top 10 because of their age. I would probably move the following guys for one of the guys listed above: Brenton Strange, AJ Barner, Terrance Ferguson, Eli Stowers, Oronde Gadsden.

Roster Building Strategy: Positional Values as Stock Investments

Strategy Content / By /

We move deeper into Dynasty Non-Points-Scoring Season as the NFL Post Season nears a close which means trading, startups, and loading up for the rookie draft will be the only thing to do for a few months. But it’s important to understand that building a competitive roster for multiple seasons means correctly valuing players by position and individuals. Whether or not you’re new to Dynasty or a seasoned vet you can use my helpful “Stock Market” analogy when investing assets into trades or drafting in startups.

Dynasty Market Sweep: Veteran TE Evaluation

Dynasty / By /

Welcome to the Dynasty Market Sweep, a weekly recurring offseason article focusing on substantial value disparities in the dynasty market consensus. The very nature of the instantaneous fantasy news feed has made the dynasty market more reactionary and volatile than ever before. Once the proverbial petrol is poured and Twitter fingers snap to ignite, player values can burn to the ground overnight. Value changes of this nature cause a ripple effect across the market. For every step up the ladder, someone must move down and vice versa.

Jeremy Ruckert: 2022 Dynasty Profile

Dynasty / By /

Jeremy Ruckert was a New York State Gatorade Player of the Year and USA Today first-team High School All-American coming out of high school.

2022 DFF Draft Coverage: Jalen Wydermyer

Dynasty / By /

Buffalo welcomes Wydermyer to a tight end room that features up-and-coming star Dawson Knox and a former first-round pick in O.J. Howard. Wydermyer should battle for the TE3 spot against Tommy Sweeney and Quinton Morris, but his fantasy outlook isn’t bright. Buffalo has a plethora of great pass-catchers on their team, and it’s going to be nearly impossible for Wydnermyer to make an impact early on in his career. He may not even be worth a spot on your taxi squad unless he finds himself playing for someone else when the season starts.

It is important to note that Ruckert played with two first-round picks in former teammates Garrett Wilson and Chris Olave, as well as Jaxon Smith-Njigba, who should be selected in the first round of next year’s NFL Draft.

Dynasty Sleeper of the Week: Tyree Jackson

Dynasty / By /

Some of our readers may remember this week’s dynasty sleeper when he played a different position altogether. Transitioning from one position to another, mainly tight end, is becoming a more common trend with each year that passes.  This edition of dynasty sleeper of the week features a player who was just activated off of IR and may still be flying under the radar. Tyree Jackson wasn’t quite relevant last week but as always, changes can happen quickly in the NFL.

2021 Dynasty Profile: Darren Waller

Dynasty / By /

Darren Waller burst onto the scene during the 2019 season after years of bouts with substance abuse. Waller is a true American comeback story. After being suspended for the entire 2017 by the NFL, he overcame his addictions and found his way back onto the Ravens practice squad in 2018. From there, he was plucked by the Raiders and further developed behind aging starter Jared Cook. After Cook’s departure in free agency, Waller earned the starting job at TE for the Raiders.
