There is a massive advantage in the current fantasy football meta. And it stems from technology itself. The average fantasy football player looks for shortcuts rather than doing the work themselves. This often leads them to some of the aggregate or consensus dynasty fantasy football rankings websites out there. Which pulls from the general internet hivemind to give average fantasy gamers exactly what they want - the average. That’s what KeepTradeCut dynasty values really are.

But we don’t settle for average. We want upside. We want actual undervalued dynasty players. Dynasty fantasy football is such a top-heavy game, with competitors trying to win and the tankers looking to rebuild, that we can find cracks in these consensus rankings to give us some dynasty trade targets who can change our fortunes. Especially if you are playing to win now - as you should be.

So today, let’s take a look at KeepTradeCut dynasty values, a very popular dynasty fantasy football rankings platform that uses a voting system to determine their values. One that is heavily searched by fantasy gamers looking to analyze trades. And we’ll highlight dynasty trade targets that we believe are undervalued based on that system, especially if you are a competitor in your league. So go out and scoop up these undervalued dynasty players before the average fantasy gamer catches on.

Most Undervalued Dynasty Quarterbacks on KeepTradeCut

Kyler Murray, QB, Minnesota Vikings QB24

KeepTradeCut isn’t perfect - if it were, we wouldn’t have an article to write. But one great aspect is that it includes rookie picks in the valuation. And people often default to those rookie picks, which pushes them up the chart in terms of value. That becomes abundantly evident when you look at the superflex tab and where the quarterbacks sit. Anyone who has played SuperFlex knows how hard it is to find QBs. And how impossible it is to find mobile QBs. I mean, every QB over the last decade to run five times a game and play 16 games has finished top 10. 

Kyler Murray is that exact type of player, and he now has arguably the best group of pass-catchers in the entire league between Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison, Jauan Jennings, and T.J. Hockenson. I’d gladly pay a 1st this year or a late 1st, early 2nd for Murray. Ranking him QB24 is far too low, given the upside this type of player brings. He’s QB8 all-time in fantasy points per game for a reason, and he’s statistically been better than Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold through similar ages to when they got a second chance. It’s no secret that the Cardinals are one of the league’s worst organizations. If you look at our dynasty fantasy football rankings vs. where they have him, he’s an obvious value. 

Deshaun Watson, QB, Cleveland Browns QB39

Call me crazy, call me stupid, call me whatever you want. I’m a risk taker. I’m looking for the most bang for my buck and, if I can do it for cheap, even better. I don’t think people truly understand how bad the hit rate is on third-round picks in dynasty leagues - we are talking about ~10% here AT BEST. Any real gambler will tell you that a one in ten shot at just getting any amount of fantasy relevance out of a player is junk.

In this case, the negative stigma against the player is doing a lot of work in suppressing the value. And that’s fine, we’ll take it. Guy is a jerk, but who cares? There are a lot of jerks out there who can get the job done. In any real head-to-head competition with Shedeur Sanders, Watson should easily win. Maybe injuries and insecurities have permanently ruined this guy, but you have to ask yourself - what if they didn’t? What if he did just play through shoulder issues, then hurt his Achilles, and now he comes back playing at a serviceable level? This guy was so good before that, even with the Browns stint, he is STILL the QB4 all-time in fantasy points per game. For a 3rd round pick, at QB39, it’s absolutely worth the shot to see if you can land a guy that can start a few games for you. He literally just needs to start for the Browns to move up from QB39. If he’s ~QB24, he was well worth the gamble. And he could be even better.

 

 

 

Best Dynasty Running Back Buy-Low Targets

Javonte Williams, RB, Dallas Cowboys RB21

It wasn’t long ago that Javonte Williams was a top-five running back on KeepTradeCut. There was a lot of promise after a strong start to his rookie season with the Denver Broncos. But injuries dashed that hope briefly, and he fell out of favor with the dynasty rankings. His value has since recovered to some degree, but nowhere near where it should probably be.

Running backs are at the whim of the offense they are in. That goes for both the split and the ability to find the red zone. The Dallas Cowboys decided to pay Javonte Williams this offseason while doing very little in free agency and the draft. Last year, Javonte Williams played the second-highest percentage of snaps for an RB behind only Saquon Barkley. And he finished as an RB1 in fantasy. Now the back who just turned 26 in April is behind a rookie like Jadarian Price or injured Cam Skattebo, who should both find themselves in splits? If you think you have a shot to win over the next 1-3 years, I’d target Javonte Williams while he plays out this Cowboys contract. Jerry Jones has been known to run guys into the ground after he pays them, and that’s just fine for us in fantasy football. That has us well above consensus on Javonte in our dynasty fantasy football rankings.

Kenneth Gainwell, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers RB42

How many times have you heard someone say, “I would have won - if it wasn’t for injuries”? The difference between winning and losing in dynasty, especially deep leagues, often boils down to depth. Do you have guys you can actually plug into a lineup when the going gets tough? In any sort of PPR, Kenneth Gainwell absolutely should be that guy.

The Buccaneers like splitting work between Bucky Irving on run downs and Rachaad White on pass downs. They let White walk, who signed a one-year, $2M deal, and signed Kenneth Gainwell to a 2 year, $14M deal. Instead of leaning on Irving, they instead UPGRADED their secondary back. Now there are reports that the shoulder injury that saw Bucky Irving miss 7 games last year is still lingering. We’ve seen what AC joint issues have done to guys like Dalvin Cook and Aaron Jones, so rotating Irving isn’t a bad idea. With Gainwell being the main beneficiary, we have no problem buying at his RB42 price - KeepTradeCut suggests he can be had for a late 2nd or possibly even an early third. 

Undervalued Dynasty Wide Receivers To Trade For

Jaylen Waddle, WR, Denver Broncos WR26

Jaylen Waddle has been one of the bigger “what-if” players in fantasy football. What if they never added Tyreek Hill? What if he had better quarterback play? What if he could stay healthy? Now we might finally get to find out “what-if” as he’s been traded to the Denver Broncos, where he will get to be the slot/flanker for Bo Nix in an offense that made it to the AFC Championship game - and could have made the Super Bowl had Nix not gotten hurt.

The Broncos have been trying out players for a couple of years now in that slot role. They have tried numerous wide receivers, from Josh Reynolds (released) to Devaugn Vele (traded) to Greg Dulcich (Sean Payton’s doghouse). After a season trying various wide receivers and “big slot” tight end Evan Engram, they decided just to trade their first-round pick for a WR rather than try to draft one. And I suggest you trade a first-round pick for Waddle rather than drafting one, as his skill set should work perfectly with Bo Nix’s short are accuracy. 

Chris Godwin, WR, Tampa Bay Buccaneers WR59

We are so excited for Chris Godwin this year that we already wrote a full article on why he could bounce back in a big way. I suggest you check that out if you are serious about buying, but the short and sweet is this. Folks are worried about injury, but Jason Licht told us that he was actually healthy towards the very end of last year - which we saw in the Miami game. The last time this guy was healthy, he was the WR2 in fantasy behind only Ja'Marr Chase. And he’s finished as the WR2 overall in fantasy in a full season in the past.

Mike Evans is now gone. Zac Robinson just told us that Emeke Egbuka will play Z, and Ted Hurst will be the X. That means Chris Godwin gets those coveted slot snaps. Robinson runs the same scheme that Liam Coen runs, the coach for Godwin in 2024, when he was awesome. Zac Robinson was the pass game coordinator for the Rams when Cooper Kupp had the greatest fantasy season of all time out of the slot. I don’t need to explain why a WR59 price tag is an absolute bargain for that kind of upside. We are talking about a 2nd round rookie pick for a possible WR1 in fantasy. 

 

 

 

Most Undervalued Dynasty Tight Ends on KeepTradeCut

Chig Okonkwo, TE, Washington Commanders TE21

We’ve done extensive research on what goes into tight end upside for fantasy football. I suggest you check that article out when you have the chance, since it will give you everything you need to know. And Chig Okonkwo checks virtually every box. He has elite athleticism with 96th percentile speed. He’s in an offense that will use him at WR. He doesn’t block on pass plays. And he has a clear path to being a top two target. Terry McLaurin is the #1, but he’s not really a guy that gets 150+ targets like some of these WR1s. After that, his main competition is a third-round rookie pick.

But you don’t have to take our word for it - you can ask Chig Okonkwo himself. Here is what he had to say about his new opportunity in Washington, per Justin Menlo of TitanSized.com. 

"There's so much more I'm able to do," Okonkwo said in a clip that has surfaced on social media. "The offensive leaders of this team, the role that they see me playing, I'm just so excited to know I'm going to be a featured guy [in the passing game] from the first week. I can't imagine what my numbers [stats] would look like if I was getting real targets from Week 1, if I was running real routes. I'm excited to show what Chig Okonkwo is supposed to look like on a football field for an entire season."

Greg Dulcich, TE, Miami Dolphins TE45

This is actually one you might be able to add off waivers. If not, you can almost certainly scoop him for a 3rd as KeepTradeCut has him in the range of 4th round picks behind blocking tight ends like Darnell Washington and Dawson Knox. It’s still a long shot to some degree, but if you squint, the path to upside is there.

The Dolphins were expected to use some of their many first and second round picks on wide receivers or tight ends - they didn’t. Bobby Slowik is expected to continue a similar scheme to what Mike McDaniel did, using a TE at WR for 70% of his routes as he did with Jonnu Smith and Darren Waller. Dulcich himself was used that way and had a couple of games with 5 catches. The last remaining hurdle for Dulcich is the June 2 deadline, when they will get ~$20M back from cutting Bradley Chubb, but a lot of that will need to go to rookie contracts. If they don’t bring someone like Jonnu or Waller in, the runout for Dulcich is pretty clear. Even if they add one WR, the path is there.
