They often don&#8217;t have a big name, because <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/10\/24\/patrick-mahomes-dynasty-outlook-fantasy-football\/\" target=\"_self\">Patrick Mahomes<\/a> will never have a buy low window, but old veterans can help a competing team or young players with a window for 2024 can be bought on the cheap.<\/p>\n<h2>Dynasty Buy Lows &#8211; Fantasy Football<\/h2>\n<h3>Jonathan Mingo, WR Carolina Panthers<\/h3>\n<p>The Carolina Panthers are in a weird spot for 2024. They lack the draft capital to upgrade at WR, and the 2024 free agents aren&#8217;t anything exciting. That makes Mingo an easy choice for a dynasty buy low list for rebuilding teams. He&#8217;s tied to Bryce Young for the foreseeable future, and Adam Thielen is far from a spring chicken. Mingo&#8217;s raw athleticism is exciting enough but combined with his usage in Carolina and his ability to earn targets already is cause for optimism. He&#8217;s averaging <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pro-football-reference.com\/players\/M\/MingJo00.htm\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">over five targets a game<\/a> as a raw rookie and could have a George Pickens type ascension in 2024. On the flip side of the coin, Thielen is a great dynasty buy low for competing teams. Admittedly he&#8217;s a one-year rental but flipping Thielen for Mingo is a good move depending on where a roster is at.<\/p>\n<h4>Recommended opening offer: 2024 mid second<\/h4>\n<h3>Tyjae Spears, RB Tennessee Titans<\/h3>\n<p>After trade deadline rumors swirled, Derrick Henry is still a Titan. The Spears manager could be impatient, and after a week or two where he doesn&#8217;t perform a buy window will open. As an individual talent, Spears is electric. He is forcing 0.30 missed tackles per rush per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pff.com\/nfl\/players\/tyjae-spears\/97195\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">PFF<\/a>, good enough for second in the NFL. Any RB talented enough to steal snaps from Derrick Henry is someone to keep an eye on, and any buy low window is a welcome sight. He&#8217;ll be on everyone&#8217;s short list for RBs to take a step forward in 2024.<\/p>\n<h4>Recommended opening offer: An older RB in a rebuild (Henry) or a 2024 early second<\/h4>\n<h3>Michael Thomas, WR New Orleans Saints<\/h3>\n<p>Don&#8217;t look now, but Thomas is a viable FLEX play. He&#8217;s currently the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fantasypros.com\/nfl\/reports\/leaders\/ppr-wr.php?year=2023\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">WR39 in PPR scoring<\/a>, and his age and injury history will make rebuilders want to throw him away. Admittedly, he&#8217;s not a cool dynasty buy low target. But with how deep dynasty teams are he should be scooped up by competing teams. Despite poor QB play he hasn&#8217;t gone under nine fantasy points yet, and averages over seven targets a game.<\/p>\n<h4>Recommended opening offer: 2024 third and fourth<\/h4>\n<h3>Greg Dulcich, TE Denver Broncos<\/h3>\n<p>Remember when he was on everyone&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2023\/09\/01\/five-sleeper-tight-ends-to-avoid-fantasy-football-purgatory\/\" target=\"_self\">tight end sleepers list<\/a>? Now he&#8217;s labeled as an injury riddled tight end on a bad offense. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/keeptradecut.com\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">keeptradecut<\/a> he&#8217;s basically the same price as an early fourth or late third. With tight end the wasteland that it is for fantasy, Dulcich was a bright spot in 2022. He put together four top ten games in his ten games played, which doesn&#8217;t sound like much except he was rookie. Looking to 2024, he&#8217;ll be on year three and ready for a breakout campaign. There&#8217;s not going to be a better option in the late third next year.<\/p>\n<h4>Recommended opening offer: 2024 early fourth or late third<\/h4>\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/@FFRPGPOD\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">More Dynasty Fantasy Football<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>Main Photo Credit: Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Underperforming young players and undervalued old players highlight the dynasty buy lows in fantasy football.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4345,"featured_media":145488,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_lmt_disableupdate":"no","_lmt_disable":"","sfio_featured_image":false,"sfio_embed_code":"","_ef_editorial_meta_date_first-draft-date":"","_ef_editorial_meta_paragraph_assignment":"","_ef_editorial_meta_checkbox_needs-photo":"","_ef_editorial_meta_number_word-count":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[59,32631],"tags":[9741,9751,294,9138,9790,301,7661,7659,9888],"class_list":["post-151519","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fantasy","category-dynasty","tag-dynasty-buy-low","tag-dynasty-trade-targets","tag-fantasy-football","tag-greg-dulcich","tag-jonathan-mingo","tag-michael-thomas","tag-panthers-featured","tag-saints-featured","tag-tyjae-spears"],"modified_by":"Michael Kovacs, ADMIN","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151519","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4345"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=151519"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/151519\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145488"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=151519"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=151519"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=151519"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
