17 Players to Consider Selling in Dynasty before the 2024 NFL Draft

George Pickens - The Steelers have three picks in the first three rounds, and they just traded away Diontae Johnson. They're in desperate need of another WR, and if they grab one early enough, target distribution on a low-volume passing offense can be an issue under Arthur Smith. Pickens doesn't really have WR1 potential anyway, as he's mostly a vertical separator with contested catch ability. Pittsburgh's draft picks that matter: 20, 51, 84, 98.

Aaron Jones - Jones is on a one-year deal, and Ty Chandler is all the Vikings have behind him. Jones is an older RB, and I'm not sure he'll be trusted to be their guy all year. Chandler can be a capable backup, but it's very possible that a bigger RB out of this year's draft enters the rotation in 2024. Regardless, this is a window to sell Jones before it's too late. He's turning 30 in December. It is worth noting that the Vikings only have their two Round 4 picks that you'd have to worry about, so it's likely a Jones/Chandler backfield in 2024.

Zamir White - Is there a chance the Raiders stick with White for 2024? Of course. But regardless, if there's a good chance you can get a mid 2nd rounder for White in your league, I'd do it, and then I'd just draft another young RB (Benson/Brooks/Lloyd) or WR with that pick. So not only did you still probably get a better player on your roster, you've also avoided White losing value. The Raiders have picks 77 and 112, and could easily draft a RB to put a thorn into the side of Zamir's dynasty managers.

Rachaad White - White was one of the most consistent fantasy options last year, which is why you can probably get a 2024 1st round pick for him. While he was one of the most consistent last year, he was one of the most inefficient. I talk more about it here: https://www.upperhandfantasy.com/post/current-dynasty-buys-and-sells. The Bucs pick at 57, 89, 92, and 125. All possibilities for a RB.

James Cook - It's possible Cook is at his peak value. There's also some big RBs in this draft class - a particular need the Bills tried time and time again to fill last year. There can be a complement that comes in and reduces Cook's value from the get. He's being valued as a dynasty RB1 right now, and I think we need to chill. The Bills have picks 60, 128 and 133.

Kyren Williams - Peak value, once again. You always have to consider it. I'm not dying to sell Kyren by any means. If I had to guess, he'll be the bell cow once again in 2024. However, he was one of the worst pass blocking RBs last year, and he's not necessarily an amazing pass catcher. Can someone come in to complement him? It's possible. If I can get a mid 1st and be able to grab a high-end WR or Brock Bowers or one of these top QBs in SF/2QB, then I would. The Rams pick at 52, 83, 99 in the 2nd and 3rd rounds.

Gus Edwards - If anyone in your league thinks that Gus will be the bell cow in the Chargers run heavy offense, and you can capture a rookie 2nd rounder this year, I'd do it. That is the most you would have ever received for Gus, and there's also a good chance you aren't depending on him. There's a very good chance the Chargers end up drafting a RB this year who complements Gus. Their picks at 37, 69, 106 and 110 all are chances at a RB.

DJ Moore - If the Bears pick Rome Odunze at 9, we have an issue. If you can capitalize on DJ Moore's high value right now, I would take advantage. Get a haul, though. And yes, Keenan Allen is a sell, as well.

Khalil Shakir - There are a lot of dynasty managers hoping for Shakir. I'm one of them. But I cannot assume that he will get a huge bump in targests even if the Bills don't draft a WR early. Dalton Kincaid can out-target him, Curtis Samuel can out-target him, and James Cook can even out-target him at times. And if the Bills do draft a WR, your Shakir value vanishes. Despite me really liking him coming into the league, he hasn't shown enough in two years with a great QB to warrant legit hope.

Joe Mixon - Are the Texans drafting a RB to replace Mixon? Probably not. Did they give him an unnecessary extension? I think so. Can they add a backup RB later in the draft that better fits this scheme than Dameon Pierce? Yes. Mixon has been inefficient over the last few seasons, and he's also turning 28 in July. Use this window of "Mixon's the RB1 on a very good offense" to sell and move on. Whenever we get opportunities like this for an aging, inefficient RB, we should do so. The Texans have picks 42, 59, 86, and 123.

Raheem Mostert - Mostert was very good last year for fantasy and in real life. But he's very old, has a massive injury history, and De'Von Achane is emerging. More here: https://www.upperhandfantasy.com/post/current-dynasty-buys-and-sells.

James Conner - Conner was so good last year. Extremely efficient. However, we have a new regime. He's turning 29 in May. Take advantage of all of the stats that are out there, send those to your trade partners and get Conner off your hands now. The Cardinals have picks 35, 66, 71, 90, and 104 between Rounds 2 and 4. Can one of those be used on a RB?

Chuba Hubbard - Is it possible Chuba ends up as the main guy this year once again? Yes, but Panthers OC Brad Idzik said that him and Miles Sanders will compete up until Week 1. HC Dave Canales alluded to somethign similar. And I do think it's a sneaky destination for a RB because of the fact that they might want even more playmaking ability to help Bryce Young. Move Hubbard after he won the job last year, is still on a high note, and with his team not seeming like an obvious destination for a rookie RB. The Panthers pick at 33, 39, 65, 101, 141 and 142.

Jameson Williams - There's a good chance the Lions want a WR they can count on besides Amon-Ra St. Brown. Williams hasn't showed that yet, and given the amount of perimeter WRs in this class, we can definitely see them drafting someone who can end up ruining Williams' value. There's some momentum around Jameson turning it around, so I'd take advantage before the draft. Detroit picks at 29, 61, 73 in the first three rounds.

Jayden Reed - There's still room for the Packers to draft a true WR1. Will they? Maybe not, but it's still possible. Either way, Christian Watson can be healthy next year, and Dontavion Wicks showed signs that he can take a big step forward. Given that 28% of Reed's fantasy points came from TDs last year, we could see some reduced totals for him next season. I like him as a player, but he might be a bit overvalued at the moment. Green Bay picks at 25, 41, 58, 88, and 91.

Zack Moss/Chase Brown - I'm not convinced the Bengals are done at the RB position. They are in a win-now window, and I can totally see them drafting one of the top RBs in this class to compete. I personally think they shouldn't, but they only paid Moss $8M for a 2-year deal, which isn't much. There's also a scenario where Moss isn't the clear lead or that Brown has enough of the pie to make Moss unstartable at times next year. Bengals pick at 49, 80, 97, and 115.

Isiah Pacheco - The Chiefs have been hosting several RB prospects in their pre-draft process, and while Pacheco is a solid back, he's not a do-it-all type of guy. We shouldn't be surprised if they add a complement to this backfield. An early 2nd round rookie pick for Pacheco would make me very happy. Chiefs draft picks we should care about wrt Pacheco: 64, 95.
