Offseason trades are the perfect time for dynasty managers to get the missing piece their team needs. Looking at the KeepTradeCut Superflex dynasty wide receiver rankings, a ranking system that crowdsources dynasty values from players who use the site, here are three wide receiver trade targets who are currently underranked and are good trade targets to buy low.
Dynasty Wide Receiver Trade Targets to Buy Low
Nico Collins
The first of the dynasty-wide receiver trade targets is the Texans star receiver, Nico Collins, who received a raise for the next two seasons, keeping him in Houston through the 2027 season. Collins comes in 14th in the KeepTradeCut rankings, behind players such as Emeka Egbuka, Carnell Tate, and Garrett Wilson.
Last season, Collins finished as the WR8 in PPR despite missing two games. In 2023, he was the WR12 (WR9 in half PPR), despite missing two games. Collins has never played in a full season, which is a concern, and this is why he has not been able to break out into a top-five fantasy season.
The price to trade for Collins is steep, being worth an early-to-mid first-round pick. However, would you rather have Collins or one of the top rookie wide receivers such as Tate, Jordyn Tyson, or Makai Lemon? If the answer is Collins, then giving up the first-round pick is definitely worth it.

Parker Washington
The next in the dynasty-wide receiver trade targets is 24-year-old Parker Washington, ranked 36th on the KeepTradeCut list. Washington had the best season of his career last year, finishing as the WR27 in a crowded Jaguars receiving room. Brian Thomas Jr. struggled last season, and Jacksonville brought in Jakobi Meyers in a midseason trade. They also extended their tight end, Brenton Strange, during the offseason. Of course, there are questions about how much receiver and two-way superstar Travis Hunter will play in the future.
With all that being said, Washington turned into quarterback Trevor Lawrence’s favorite target at the end of the season, finishing as a top-10 wide receiver in the final three weeks of the year. He had at least nine targets in each of his final four games, including the Wild Card loss.
With another year with offensive mastermind Liam Coen, expect the Jaguars offense to be even better, and Washington is in a great position to take an even bigger leap. For the price of a second-round pick, Washington is one of the best dynasty wide receiver trade targets.

Ricky Pearsall
The third and final of the dynasty wide receiver trade targets is Ricky Pearsall, coming in at 47th on the KeepTradeCut rankings. Pearsall has only been able to play in 20 games during his two-year career due to a variety of injuries, including surviving a shooting.
Even with the signing of the veterans Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, Pearsall should see a significant workload for the 49ers. Tight end George Kittle is recovering from an injury, so he might not be ready for Week 1. There are not many future pass catchers on the team, so Pearsall has the best chance to be the future WR1 in San Francisco.
The biggest concern for Pearsall is staying on the field, but if he can, a second-round pick is well worth it for him. In a weak rookie draft class this year for fantasy football, some of the receivers being drafted in the second round are Denzel Boston, Zachariah Branch, Malachi Fields, Skyler Bell, and De’Zhaun Stribling. I would rather have Pearsall over any of those guys in dynasty.
