It’s the slow part of the dynasty season, and buy lows are a great way to add value to rosters. While rookie fever catches on, some of these players will be pushed even further down despite having roles or opportunities on their current teams. Let’s go bargain bin hunting, and find some dynasty buy lows before the draft hits.

Note: Player valuations are pulled from fantasycalc, a fantasy trade calculator that pulls ADP and real trades from leagues on Sleeper. 

Dynasty Buy Lows – Players Valued Outside the Top 200

Matthew Stafford, QB Los Angeles Rams

Death, taxes, and Matthew Stafford being undervalued in superflex leagues. Stafford has been a solid QB2 with top-twelve upside for years, and his contract extension keeps him in L.A. for at least another couple of years. While other managers chase the new shiny toys, Stafford is easy to acquire and can hold down that superflex spot for dynasty managers.

Recommended offer: Late 2025 second

Quarterback Buy Low Podcast Episode

Hollywood Brown, WR Kansas City Chiefs

Brown quietly averaged over five targets per game in healthy games last year and seems to be the only Chiefs wide receiver without a red flag heading into 2025. It’s unlikely he will return to being a must-start option. But for leagues with tons of flex spots, Brown can be one of your dynasty buy lows.

Recommended offer: Late 2025 second or early 2025 third

Demario Douglas, WR New England Patriots

Another deep flex option, Douglas finished as a WR4 despite playing with a rookie quarterback and a putrid offensive environment. It’s likely the Patriots address their WR spot in the first round of the NFL draft, but Douglas has a role as their slot receiver. With late-round picks having an atrocious hit rate, Douglas is easy to acquire and can provide depth for a competing team.

Recommended offer: Mid-2025 third

Kenny Pickett, QB Cleveland Browns

This is only for superflex leagues. And hold your nose while you do it. But there’s a real chance he starts for the Browns in 2025 and can be an emergency third quarterback for teams that need one. No, Kenny Pickett is not going to be the truck that pulls a dynasty team to a championship. But he can fill in for bye weeks and injuries, and adding him as a speculative buy before the draft will keep his price nice and cheap.

Recommended offer: Any 2025 fourth, bump up to a late third if required

Audric Estime, RB Denver Broncos

How does a super young handcuff at a cheap price sound? The Denver Broncos will likely attack the running back position in the draft, but Estime should be the backup for whoever they add or can compete to be the starter. When looking for dynasty buy lows, easy additions like Estime can be flipped for more value later in the offseason.

Recommended offer: Late 2025 third

After leading the NCAA in rushing yards and yards from scrimmage in 2023, Ollie Gordon took a major step back in 2024. Any Ollie Gordon scouting report would be incomplete without acknowledging the major step back by the offensive line in 2024. But was it all on them, or does Gordon share some of the blame?

2025 NFL Draft Profiles

Ollie Gordon Scouting Report Overview

Height: 6’1″

Weight: 226 pounds

Combine Thresholds for Running Backs

2025 NFL Draft Scouting Report: Ollie Gordon, Oklahoma State

Ollie Gordon Strengths

• Tough, physical runner;
• Can make catches outside of his frame, uncommon for a back of his size;
• Better game speed than Combine testing showed;
• Able to read blocks at the second level;

Ollie Gordon Weaknesses

• Had to dive at legs in pass protection in 2024 with 2023’s pass-blocking performance;
• Not particularly sudden in any movements, won’t make NFL defenders miss in open space;
• Needs a runway to accelerate, and doesn’t hit top speed until 20 to 30 yards down the field;
• Vision at the point of attack leaves room to improve.

Team Fits: Pittsburgh Steelers, Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings

Ollie Gordon’s Projected Role in the NFL

Gordon isn’t fooling anyone into thinking he’s Jahmyr Gibbs or Bijan Robinson. But he can be an effective thunder for a thunder and lightning combination. His large frame (he likely slimmed down to 226 for the Combine), tough rushing style, and nose for the goal line will make him a coach’s back of choice for short-yardage situations. If he wants to make the leap to an every-down back, his pass blocking must improve. For a back of his size, Gordon is constantly diving at ankles, chipping softly, and completely missing blitzers. He’s a liability on third down, and without that, he won’t see the field in passing situations.

Gordon is a back that will be a symptom of the overall health of an offense. He doesn’t have the wiggle or vision to make things happen out of structure, but if he gets a full head of steam behind a good offensive line safeties will start making business decisions. He’s one of the younger prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft, so he has time to fix some of his bigger issues.

Ollie Gordon Dynasty Fantasy Football Outlook

Gordon is currently valued as the 3.12 in the latest Footballguys rookie guide and is part of a deep running back class. Despite the monster 2023, dynasty managers have a sour taste in their mouths from 2024. Landing spot is going to re-organize most of RB6 all the way through RB14 in this upcoming class. It has nothing to do with a lack of talent from these players, but they’re all good enough to earn a strong backup or even a timeshare role in an NFL offense. If Gordon lands with one of the top three team fits above, or another team with a strong running back need, he’ll be a priority target in the third round of rookie drafts.

Najee Harris played the first four years of his career with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He played in every game and had 1000 rushing yards in each season. He will join a run-heavy team with the Los Angeles Chargers in 2025. What is the Najee Harris dynasty outlook?

Current Production

Harris had an underrated solid career with the Steelers. His PPR fantasy finishes were RB3 in his rookie season in 2021, RB14 in 2022, RB23 in 2023, and RB20 in 2024. He has been either an RB1 or RB2 every year of his career. Harris has had at least 1000 rushing yards in each season. He ranges between six and eight rushing touchdowns each year.

After having 74 receptions in his rookie season, he has had 41, 29, and 36 in the last three years, respectively. Jaylen Warren took over the receiving work in the last three seasons. Most importantly for Harris, he has not missed a game in four seasons, playing in all 17 games.

Harris Dynasty Price

According to KeepTradeCut, a website that crowdsources dynasty values from players that use the site, Harris is the RB28. He is behind Zach Charbonnet, Brian Robinson, and Travis Etienne. He is ahead of Trey Benson, James Conner, and the rookie Cam Skattebo. Many of these running backs are in backfield committees, while Harris is poised to be the lead back in Los Angeles. Harris is worth a mid to late-round second-round pick in 2025 rookie dynasty drafts.

Najee Harris Dynasty Outlook After Trade

Harris signed a one-year, $9.25 million contract to join the Los Angeles Chargers. Similar to the Steelers, the Chargers are a run-heavy team. The Steelers had a run rate of 48.31%, while the Chargers ran the ball 44.91% of the time. Chargers’ head coach Jim Harbaugh wants to run the ball, and Harris becomes his workhorse back. 

The two Chargers running backs last year, J.K. Dobbins and Gus Edwards are both free agents. At the moment, Harris is the clear lead back for the Chargers. The only other running backs currently on the roster are Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal. They might take the passing work away from Harris, but Harris should have almost all of the work on the ground. This is very similar to his role in Pittsburgh, with Warren being the primary third down back and Harris getting the rest of the work.

The Chargers could look to draft a running back in a deep running back class in the 2025 NFL Draft. It would not be surprising if the Chargers drafted one. However, they are not paying Harris almost ten million dollars to be in a committee. This will be Harris’ backfield, and whatever running back they draft will be the clear backup behind Harris.

What To Do With Najee Harris in Dynasty Leagues?

Harris went into fantasy drafts underrated in 2024 and exceeded his expectations, finishing as an RB2 in fantasy. Harris should have another solid season with the Chargers in 2025. Expect another RB2 finish for him. I would not be giving up a lot for Harris, as this is only a one-year deal, and then he will re-hit the market. This could be a similar situation to Aaron Jones, who signed a one-year deal with the Vikings but re-signed for two years. If Harris has a great year with the Chargers, they will look to bring him back. However, if he struggles and/or a rookie takes his place, Harris could be looking for a new team for a lesser deal in 2026.

Harris should have a good 2025, but his dynasty outlook after that is murky, making him a short-term player in dynasty leagues. Getting a solid RB2 to join your dynasty teams in 2025 is a good idea for the short term, but Harris should not be in your long-term plans.

The former Bears and Steelers quarterback, Justin Fields, signed a two-year, $40 million contract to be the starting quarterback for the New York Jets to try to turn their franchise around after the failed Aaron Rodgers experiment. What is Justin Fields’ dynasty outlook?

Justin Fields Dynasty Outlook With New York Jets

Current Production

Fields has had an up-and-down start to his NFL career. He made twelve starts in his 2021 rookie season. He had a career year in 2022, finishing as the QB7 in fantasy football that season. Fields had a down year in 2023, playing in just thirteen games and finishing as the QB18. He was then traded to the Steelers as the Bears moved on to Caleb Williams. Fields started the season as the starting quarterback for the Steelers but was then replaced by Russell Wilson. He signed a two-year deal with the Jets to be their starting quarterback in 2025 and 2026.

Fields was never a great passing quarterback. His career high in passing yards is 2562, and his touchdowns are 17. He has 45 career passing touchdowns in 44 games started and six other appearances. Fields makes his money and fantasy production running the football. He had over 1100 rushing yards and eight touchdowns in his 2022 season. In limited action last year, he had five rushing touchdowns.

Dynasty Quarterback Rankings:

Dynasty Price Before Trade

According to KeepTradeCut, a website that crowdsources dynasty values from players that use the site, Fields is the QB29. He is behind Geno Smith and Jaxson Dart while ahead of Matthew Stafford, Jalen Milroe, and Quinn Ewers. His value will increase in the coming weeks as he is now a starting quarterback for a team.

Justin Fields Dynasty Outlook After Trade

Fields is reunited with his Ohio State wide receiver, Garrett Wilson. They played two years together with the Buckeyes in 2019 and 2020. In 22 games together, Wilson had over 1000 receiving yards and over ten receiving touchdowns. They had a good connection, and that will be re-established in New York.

The Jets have a great running back in Breece Hall and Braelon Allen. However, the wide receiver room behind Wilson is not great. The second wide receiver on the team right now is Allen Lazard. Look for the Jets to upgrade this position in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Fields is never going to have much fantasy production with his arm. His upside comes with his rushing ability. The Jets having a rushing quarterback will be a big change for them after having an immobile quarterback last year. They will have to redesign the entire playbook for Fields. It might take a few weeks for the offense to be in sync, and there will be a lot of pressure on Fields and the Jets offense to deliver.

What to Do With Justin Fields in Dynasty Leagues

There were no guarantees that Fields would have a starting job in 2025, but he found one with the Jets. Fields has elite upside with his rushing abilities, and we have seen him finish as a top-ten fantasy quarterback before. He is a high-risk type of player in fantasy, and I think he is worth trying to trade for in dynasty leagues. However, he will probably have a short leash with the Jets, especially if they bring a rookie in during the 2025 NFL Draft. They also have Tyrod Taylor on the roster. Fields is a quarterback worth trading for if you are willing to take a risk on him.

Geno Smith had a solid couple of years with the Seattle Seahawks. He was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders for a third-round pick and will be the new quarterback for them. What is Geno Smith’s fantasy football outlook on the Raiders?

Fantasy Football Outlook for Geno Smith

Historical Production

Smith has had a long, up-and-down career. He was drafted by the Jets in the 2013 NFL Draft and was their starting quarterback for two years. He then bounced around as a backup quarterback for seven seasons with the Jets, Giants, Chargers, and Seahawks. When Russell Wilson was traded to the Broncos, Smith was given the starting job in Seattle.

Smith had a career year in his first year as the starting quarterback in 2022, finishing as the QB5 in fantasy leagues. He followed that up with a QB19 and QB13 finish in 2023 and 2024, respectively. Smith has been a mid-tier QB2 in the last two seasons.

Geno Smith Fantasy Football Outlook Before Trade

According to KeepTradeCut, a website that crowdsources dynasty values from players that use the site, Smith is the QB30. He is behind Jaxson Dart, Justin Fields, and Matthew Stafford but ahead of Jalen Milroe, Quinn Ewers, and Derek Carr. He is in the same range as the lower-end rookie quarterbacks, who probably will not have a starting quarterback job in 2025.

Smith had a solid season last year, completing over 70% of his passes for 4320 passing yards and 21 passing touchdowns. He was a viable QB2 in fantasy and finished as a top-ten weekly quarterback seven times on the year. However, four of those were in the first five weeks of the season, but he did finish strong with two top-five finishes to close out the season. 

Geno Smith Fantasy Football Outlook After Trade

Smith will be 35 years old next season in the final year of his contract. He will be looking for a new contract. Smith had a strong cast of playmakers around him last year. He had DK Metcalf, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Tyler Lockett. The playmakers are a lot worse in Las Vegas. Behind wide receiver Jakobi Meyers and tight end Brock Bowers, there was not much consistent production for the Raiders. Additionally, the running back room is a lot worse.

The Raiders have the sixth overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. There were a lot of rumors that they could use that pick to draft a quarterback if Shedeur Sanders fell in the draft. Now, they can focus on improving the offense around Smith. Tet McMillian would be a great pick for them if he is there at six.

What To Do With Geno Smith in Dynasty Leagues?

Smith is an aging quarterback with limited rushing upside. At best, he can be a QB2 for a couple of more seasons. At the moment, the situation in Vegas is worse than the situation in Seattle that Smith had last season. Overall, this is a downgrade for Smith. That does not mean it is panic time for Smith owners in dynasty leagues; however, I would not be actively trying to add Smith. I also do not think it is necessary to sell away Smith, especially in superflex or 2QB leagues. Smith will have solid production in 2025 but expect it to be less than what he had in 2024. He’s a hold for contenders and a sell at an excited price for rebuilders.

Brenton Strange Dynasty Outlook

Brenton Strange was the backup tight end for the Jacksonville Jaguars last season behind Evan Engram. The Jaguars decided to release Engram in the offseason, opening the door for Strange to take the role in 2025. Brenton Strange’s dynasty outlook is on the rise.

Current Production

After having five catches in his rookie season in 2023, Strange took on a larger role for the Jaguars as their backup tight end in 2024. He had 40 receptions for 411 receiving yards and two touchdowns. These are solid numbers for a backup tight end, and he finished with 111.1 PPR fantasy points, which was good for the TE31 on the season. 

Strange had four games in which he had zero fantasy points, but he also had four weeks in which he finished as a top-ten tight end. All four of those weeks came when Engram was out with an injury. Engram missed eight games in 2024, and Strange was a TE1 in half of them. That is a great rate for Strange and very encouraging for 2025.

Strange Dynasty Price

According to KeepTradeCut, a website that crowdsources dynasty values from players that use the site, Strange is the TE24. This is not factoring in that he is now the TE1 on the Jaguars. He is in the same tier as Noah Gray, Theo Johnson, and Chig Okonkwo. Strange has much more upside than these players entering 2025. He is worth an early third-round pick in rookie dynasty drafts. However, expect this ranking to increase in the coming weeks once the Engram release is factored into their rankings.

Dynasty Tight End Rankings

Strange Dynasty Outlook

Strange is about to skyrocket up dynasty rankings with the Engram release and the Christian Kirk trade to the Texans. Behind Brian Thomas Jr., there are not many options for quarterback Trevor Lawrence to throw to. They have Gabe Davis, Parker Washington, and then Strange. Strange is competing with these guys to be Lawrence’s second target behind Thomas.

The Jaguars have to replace 64 targets and 47 receptions from Engram and 47 targets and 27 receptions from Kirk. They have over 100 targets to replace and a good chunk of those will go to Strange. Strange has a very encouraging dynasty outlook for 2025. Strange has two more years on his rookie deal with the Jaguars.

The Jaguars could draft a tight end in the 2025 NFL Draft. However, they will not draft one of the top guys, meaning the best they will do is bring in a late-round player to be a backup tight end to Strange. Strange should be the TE1 on the Jaguars next season.

What to Do With Brenton Strange in Dynasty Leagues?

Buy Strange in dynasty leagues. He will be one of the top sleeper picks in fantasy redraft leagues this year. If your dynasty league is open to free agency right now, see if he is on waivers and pick him up. Strange has a lot more upside than rookies who will be drafted in the third round. Strange will have his breakthrough year in fantasy in 2025.

Christian Kirk had a disappointing, injury-filled 2024 season with the Jacksonville Jaguars, only playing in eight games. He was traded to the Houston Texans for a 2026 seventh-round pick and should be their new slot wide receiver with Tank Dell expected to miss most of the 2025 season. What is Christian Kirk’s fantasy football outlook on the Texans?

Fantasy Football Outlook for Christian Kirk

Historical Production

Kirk spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Cardinals, only finishing as a top-30 fantasy wide receiver one time. He went to the Jaguars before the 2022 season and had a career year, finishing as the WR11 in fantasy. However, he has struggled to stay on the field since. He played in twelve games in 2023, dealing with a core muscle injury, and played in eight games in 2024 after breaking his collarbone. The Jaguars were expected to release Kirk, but they were able to find a trade partner in the Texans, who gave up a seventh-round pick in 2026.

Christian Kirk Fantasy Football Value Pre-Trade

According to KeepTradeCut, a website that crowdsources dynasty values from players that use the site, Kirk is the WR69. He is in the same range as Dontayvion Wicks, Demario Douglas, Isaiah Bond, Stefon Diggs, Marquise Brown, and Wan’Dale Robinson. There are some veteran players and some younger players in this tier. He is worth an early third-round pick in dynasty rookie drafts.

When he was healthy last season, he did not see much production. He had 27 receptions in the eight games he played. He was behind the rookie sensation Brian Thomas Jr., Gabe Davis, and tight end Evan Engram, who was also just released. Kirk was the fourth option for quarterback Trevor Lawrence. He was being faded out of the offense, so the trade to the Texans gives him a fresh start.

Christian Kirk Fantasy Football Outlook Post-Trade

Kirk joins a young, exciting Texans team. They have a superstar wide receiver in Nico Collins, but there are questions about the rest of the receiver room. Stefon Diggs is coming off a torn ACL and is a free agent. Tank Dell is coming off a serious knee injury and is expected to miss most of the 2025 season. Quarterback C.J. Stroud needs another wide receiver opposite of Collins to throw the ball to, and Kirk immediately becomes that guy. Kirk goes from being the 4th option on the Jaguars to the 2nd option on the Texans. His fantasy football outlook and dynasty value will be on the rise in the coming weeks.

The Texans could always draft another wide receiver in the 2025 NFL Draft, and they have been linked to multiple names in the first round of mock drafts. However, after making this trade, they will probably look elsewhere in the first round and maybe draft a wide receiver later in the draft. Kirk should enter the season as the WR2 for the Texans unless they sign another receiver in free agency.

What to Do With Christian Kirk in Dynasty Leagues?

Kirk only has one year left on his contract, but he is in a good situation entering 2025. He’s on a team with a young quarterback and a new offensive coordinator. WR69 is currently undervaluing him, so try to trade for Kirk. This trade will not generate as much hype as other trades, such as the Deebo Samuel trade or the DK Metcalf trade if it happens. Take advantage of this and get an underrated player in Kirk, who should provide solid WR3/FLEX value in fantasy leagues in 2025.

The picture in someone’s head while they think about an NFL wide receiver has changed over the years. From giant, freak athletes like Calvin Johnson and Randy Moss to smaller, tough-nosed guys like Hines Ward and Steve Smith there are different body types all over the field. In this year’s draft, there are a couple of bigger-bodied receivers, but none have the same movement skills as Tetairoa McMillan. Tetairoa McMillan could be one of the first names called in the draft, let’s take a look at his scouting report to see what the hype is all about.

Tetairoa McMillan Scouting Report: 2025 NFL Draft & Team Fits

Tet McMillan Scouting Report Overview:

Height: 6’4″

Weight: 219

Tet McMillan Strengths:

• Uses every bit of his wingspan to pluck the ball out of the air.
• Fights upfield after the catch with above-average YAC ability.
• Fluid movement skills at all stages of his route tree.
• Experience lining up all over the field, not just as an X.

Tetairoa McMillan Weaknesses:

• Doesn’t vary his tempo on routes often.
• Lacks true top-end speed and explosion, and relies on a steady buildup rather than suddenness.
• Limited release package, not overly creative with his footwork to get off of press coverage.
• Clear on tape when he isn’t a primary or secondary read on a play and takes snaps off.

Pro Comp: Angry Drake London

Draft Projection: Top-15 Pick

Latest Mock Draft Video

Team Fits: New England Patriots, Dallas Cowboys, New York Jets

Tetairoa McMillan Scouting Report and Projected Role

For teams that want a dominant outside presence with some versatility in their passing game, McMillan fits the bill. He’s too big for corners that can match his movement skills and too fluid for corners that can match his size. Players with his specific blend don’t come around very often, and he projects to be the top receiving option or a 1b if the team has an embarrassment of riches at the receiver position. His lack of tempo and footwork against press can be taught, but a 6’4″ receiver who can sink his hips into a deep out and leave a corner running downfield are some things that can’t be.

It’s no secret that the New England Patriots need a receiver. They also need just about everything other than a quarterback and a top corner. Tet would get a chance to grow with Drake Maye, and that could be a meaningful connection for years to come. The Cowboys need an option alongside Ceedee Lamb, and McMillan’s skillset complements Lamb’s well. As the Jets look forward to what life without Aaron Rodgers looks like, they could stay put and just take the best player available instead of trying to trade up for another swing at quarterback. Pairing Tet with either a free-agent quarterback or a round-two option like Jaxson Dart could be their solution.

Tetairoa McMillan Dynasty Outlook

After Ashton Jeanty at the 1.01, the rest of the first round is looking like a mess. There are five running backs to feel good about, three or four wide receivers, and a couple of projected first-round quarterbacks all in the mix. Before seeing landing spots and draft capital, McMillan is a safe bet at 1.02, but anywhere from 1.02 to 1.08 is where he could end up after the draft.

After an insane Combine performance by the rest of the 2025 NFL running backs, Ashton Jeanty is looking over his shoulder at his competition. Jeanty chose not to participate in any of the drills, but he’s still the top back in the class.

All 2025 NFL Scouting Reports

Ashton Jeanty 2025 NFL Draft Scouting Report

Ashton Jeanty Scouting Report Overview:

Height: 5’8″

Weight: 211 lbs

Accolades: Maxwell Award, Doak Walker Award, Unanimous All-American, Two-Time Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year, Two-Time All-Mountain West

Ashton Jeanty Strengths:

• The best contact balance in the class, Jeanty can keep momentum through contact with ease.
• Adept receiver with soft hands and experience in all areas of the field receiving.
• Able to find holes that aren’t part of the original playcall, turns negative plays into positives frequently.
• Powerful at the contact point and drives legs through the whistle.
• Above average burst, one of the better stop/start abilities in the class.

Ashton Jeanty Weaknesses:

• Short strides don’t result in pull-away long speed.
• Leads with helmet in pass protection can get caught lunging at times.
• Slightly undersized in the height department.
• Critics will point to the level of play concerns while ignoring performances against better competition.

Potential Team Fits:

Las Vegas Raiders

Dallas Cowboys

Chicago Bears

Ashton Jeanty Scouting Report

For NFL teams looking for an immediate difference-maker at the running back position, Ashton Jeanty is the guy. In a deep class with plenty of sleepers, there is an argument for teams to wait in the draft. But Jeanty is a sure-fire back who can handle volume, elevate a passing game, and keep an offense on schedule by avoiding negative plays.

Read More: Combine Thresholds for Running Backs

Some will point to his shorter stature as a negative, but he presses the line of scrimmage and explodes through the line while sometimes linebackers and the secondary can’t locate him. He pairs that vision and escapability with power at the collision point, which often leaves defenders on the ground and Jeanty running down the field. His contact balance makes him look like a ballerina mixed with a bulldozer all wrapped in a nice 5’8″ package.

Ashton Jeanty’s All-22 Film Study shows him lining out wide and making a contested catch, which is a nice bonus to everything he brings on the ground. We don’t have testing numbers for Jeanty yet, but what he put out on the field for Boise State was an exceptional athlete who checks almost every box. It’s not a question of how good he is, it’s a question of what team wants to pay up for him while there could be contributors like Omarion Hampton, Kaleb Johnson, or Quinshon Judkins available on day two.

Ashton Jeanty Dynasty Outlook

He’s the 1.01, don’t overthink it. The top quarterbacks are huge question marks, Tetairoa McMillan is losing steam among draft circles, and the landing spot would only make the 1.02 or 1.03 closer to Jeanty than it would make them leapfrog him. He’s already a top-three dynasty running back.
