It may be NFL playoffs season, but dynasty owners are still looking for ways to improve their team. Whether it be through potential trade targets or setting up their draft board already, the focus is on the 2025 season. Whether you’re looking to shift from rebuild to contention or just need some extra depth, here are four buy-low targets for dynasty leagues.
Four Buy-Low Targets to Bolster Dynasty Teams in 2025
Drake Maye
Drake Maye had an up-and-down year in 2024 with the New England Patriots. However, he didn’t have much to work with all offensively. When your leading receiver is Hunter Henry with 674 yards, it speaks volumes on how poor the team is around him. Maye made the most of it though as he still threw for 200+ yards in nine starts.
One area Maye surprised people was his ability to take off and run with the ball. It was known he could scramble when he came into the NFL, but he still exceeded expectations as a runner. The Patriots focus this offseason needs to be building an offensive line for him and providing talented receivers to catch his passes.
KeepTradeCut lists Maye as the QB8 in dynasty fantasy football and the 19th-highest player overall. His value will never be lower than it is now after the Patriots finished 2024 with a 3-14 record. He’s a prime buy-low target especially for superflex leagues.
Tyrone Tracy
Tyrone Tracy should be the lead back for the New York Giants in 2025. Even though he didn’t take over as the main running back until Week 5 against the Seattle Seahawks, Tracy ran for 839 yards as a rookie in an abysmal offense, spearheaded by three games with 100 rushing yards or more.
It’s safe to say Devin Singletary won’t be back next season, or he will be the backup if he does return. Tracy has proven he can be a workhorse in the NFL, and he has the potential to surpass 1,100 rushing yards in 2025. Much like the Patriots mentioned above, the Giants need to build up the offensive line to pave the way for him.
KeepTradeCut lists Tracy as the RB18 for dynasty leagues and the 83rd player overall. Expect those numbers to rise as the offseason progresses, so it’s best to grab him while you still can. He may not be an RB1 just yet, but Tracy could be a top RB2 in 2025.
Garrett Wilson
The season didn’t end the way Garrett Wilson wanted it to end, but he still had a productive year. Even in a struggling New York Jets offense, he finished with a career-high in receptions (101), yards (1,104) and touchdowns (7).
His numbers dropped more than expected after the Davante Adams trade, largely in part because of Aaron Rodgers forcing the ball to Adams. Despite this, Wilson was a “boom or bust” player for much of the season and lacked consistency as a pass catcher. He caught just 65.6% of his targets… a number that must increase next season.
KeepTradeCut lists Wilson as the WR13 in dynasty leagues and the 31st overall player. Trading for him now as a buy-low target will be the best thing for your team if you need another wide receiver.
Josh Downs
Josh Downs stepped up for the Indianapolis Colts in just his second year as a pro. While he missed four games due to injury, he still accumulated 803 receiving yards with five touchdowns. Inconsistencies at quarterback held him back in 2024, but the Colts should have things figured out for 2025.
Downs had the second-highest target share on the Colts offense with 21.7%; Michael Pittman led the way with 22.6% of the targets. However, Downs totaled more receptions and more yards despite playing less games. It’s clear the Colts love utilizing the slot which is good news for Downs owners.
KeepTradeCut has Downs listed as the WR34 and 78th player overall. He’s listed ahead of Tyreek Hill but behind Keon Coleman which is questionable in itself. Downs is more of a flex play in dynasty leagues, but he would be a great addition at the right price.
