One of the toughest decisions in dynasty fantasy football is figuring out who to cut from your roster. Since these are players you’ve likely kept over a few years, it’s tough to lose hope in a player that you once believed in.
At the same time, you don’t want to roster players who just stay at the end of your bench forever. After some time has passed, you either need to commit those roster spots to safe players who can give you solid production in case of an injury or new dart throws.
Today, we’ll be going through three players ranked 200-225 on Keep Trade Cut that you should cut from your dynasty roster. Keep in mind that these players are most likely on your team if you’re in a league with a deep bench.
1. Tank Dell (KTC Rank: 201)
Tank Dell suffered a rough injury in 2024, which has unfortunately kept him out for the entire 2025 season. Although Dell looked great as a rookie with 15 PPG (11 games), he only scored 10 PPG in 2024 (14 games).
Dell is already undersized at 5’10” and 165 pounds, making this return an uphill battle.
The main problem is that the Houston Texans already have Nico Collins, Jayden Higgins, and Jaylin Noel. Although Noel wasn’t great as a rookie, given that they spent a third round pick on him in the 2025 NFL draft, he’ll likely take the WR3 role in 2026.
That leaves Dell as a WR4 on a passing attack where C. J. Stroud threw for 3,041 yards in 14 games last year. Of the list, Dell is the best player, but he comes with a bit of injury risk, and there’s not a clear path for volume.

2. Jaylen Wright (KTC Rank: 208)
In the 2024 NFL Draft, Jaylen Wright was an intriguing prospect with 4th round draft capital. Wright was never going to be the Miami Dolphins RB1, but there was hope that he could carve out a meaningful role.
After two years, Wright has never had more than 75 carries in a year, and it may be time to lose hope. Especially after the Dolphins drafted Ollie Gordon in the 2025 draft.
Although Gordon was a 6th round pick, he was once seen as a great prospect after rushing for 1,732 yards as a sophomore in college. Even though Wright is more of a safe play and looked slightly better in 2025, Gordon brings more upside to the table.
3. Xavier Legette (KTC Rank: 220)
It’s not often that a young receiver sees a decrease in production, but Xavier Legette went from 49 catches for 497 yards to 35 receptions for 363 yards in 2025. Legette only played in one fewer game (15) in 2025.
The hope that Legette can be a WR1 is over with Tetairoa McMillan in the picture, but even being the team’s WR2 seems improbable.
Jalen Coker had more yards than Legette this past year (394) despite only playing in 11 games. At best, Legette will be the WR3 on the Carolina Panthers, but there’s also a strong chance they add another receiver to the mix.
It’s tough to cut Legette from your dynasty fantasy football team, given that he was the 32nd overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft, but it seems like the right move at this point.
