Dynasty drafts are done or winding down. Most are likely after FA auctions or waiver runs have been running throughout the offseason. The most pertinent decisions to be made other than making trades to position yourself where you want to be for the upcoming season are who will be demoted to your taxi squad.

One of the most satisfying aspects of dynasty fantasy football is drafting a later-round player and having them before their breakout. In this article, we focus on three sleeper wide receivers you can grab late in your rookie drafts.

Michael Thomas’ contract has been reported for a few days, but the salary cap information for Michael Thomas’ contract extension is publicly available now. If you read some of my other pieces on player contracts like Kyle Rudolph or Tyler Boyd, you know the difference between something dynasty owners should react positively to, or to fade doing so. Generally, when a player makes money as Thomas did, we don’t need to question if the guaranteed money will be substantial enough. However, the first time we don’t follow the process step by step is the first time we will find ourselves burnt by doing so. So let’s dive into his new deal, shall we?

Whether you believe in the third-year breakout theory for wide receivers or not, there is a strong case to be made for a number of players from the 2017 NFL Draft class. I’m going to briefly discuss the notable third-year wide receivers and determine the likelihood that they break out in 2019. Using an arbitrary 25% increase over their best fantasy season to date using PPR scoring, I’m going to assess a percent chance that each player reaches their breakout score THIS season (suffice to say this is assuming the relative health of each player). Here is part two of this piece.

Part of your duty as a dynasty owner is identifying high asset players and moving off of them before their value drops to a point you’re unable to get anything for them. It can be a hard pill to swallow, saying good-bye to a high caliber player who is in the prime of their career. But to sustain your team and remain competitive for years (not to mention avoid the uncertainty of an unknown rebuild), you will have to cut ties and gain maximum value for players. These decisions can be hard, but for Dynasty Football Factory members, they just became a lot easier.

With the NFL offseason upon us, it’s the perfect time to review your dynasty team, make roster moves, and approach other owners with trade offers to take your squad to the next level. Sometimes, this process requires an owner to consider giving up proven talent to improve other areas of need or gather assets for the future. Veterans can be difficult to part with, but sometimes the long term gains outweigh the short term losses. With that in mind, let’s analyze candidates who fit in the category of “dynasty WRs and QBs to sell”.Jarvis Landry:Landry finally got paid like a number one receiver, but he sure didn’t perform like one in 2018. He dropped six balls in 14 games started after not registering a single drop before in his career. He was also uncharacteristically inefficient posting 6.6 yards per target, settling at the bottom of league rankings. It’s difficult to be hopeful that his situation will get any better when he had little to no competition for targets, but with Odell Beckham entering the fold, he could be in line for increased efficiency even though he should see a drop in targets.

Reports this offseason have been that the plan in Green Bay is to go with a running back by committee approach for next season. As someone who has shares of Aaron Jones in every dynasty league, this news doesn’t exactly make me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. New head coach Matt LaFleur said he believes a committee is the most effective approach, while GM Brian Gutekunst says he wants Jones on the field as much as possible. Helpful, I know. Jones is the more explosive and talented running back, so rest assured this will be his backfield.After starting the season off suspended for two games, Aaron Jones slowly took back his role as the starter. Week eight saw Jones take the reins and dominate the role in the backfield, taking 12 carries to Jamaal Williams four. He added two receptions while Williams had zero. Ty Montgomery had two carries and saw only two targets. He would fumble on a late kick return and would then be traded to the Baltimore Ravens less than a week later. With Montgomery gone Jones was able to start taking over the backfield, and it looked like he was heading toward his first 1,000 yard season until he went down with an MCL injury for the second year in a row.

Cheetah. The name itself oozes acceleration. I once asked my four-year-old daughter who was the fastest animal in the world was. She rolled her eyes at me and without missing a beat goes, “Cheetah.
