For those of you who play dynasty fantasy football, there’s no offseason. You’re always looking to make moves, even in January. Making trades at this time of the year may sound unnecessary, but it’s really one of the best ways to acquire value.
One quick note is that these are trades you want to make in order to gain value. That doesn’t mean you need to keep them on your roster for a long time if they don’t fit your team build.
That said, here are the three best trade wide receiver targets for your dynasty fantasy football team, using Keep Trade Cut as a reference.
1. Chris Olave (KTC Rank: WR15)
With Chris Olave, the main concern is that he has a number of concussions at 25 years old. With that being said, he’s a fairly young wide receiver who just finished as the WR7 (PPR) in PPG last year.
That was all done with Tyler Shough as a rookie who only started in nine games. With the New Orleans Saints going 6-11 on the year, it seems likely that this situation will only improve for Olave.
It’s not often that you can get a mix of youth and 2026 production at this low of a cost. Take advantage of it while you still can.
2 Jaylen Waddle (KTC Rank: WR26)
It seems like the past few years have caused the dynasty community to forget how talented Jaylen Waddle is. To be fair, Waddle had scored less than 13 PPG in his last two seasons, but the situation has been less than ideal.
Tua Tagovailoa has been the starting quarterback for Miami, but it seems like there’s a good chance that will change. Not only that, but Waddle has been the WR2 in this offense behind Tyreek Hill.
Hill had a knee injury this past year, and at 31 years old, this could be the end of his time with the Dolphins.
That would instantly make Waddle the WR1, and if he can get a quarterback upgrade, his value will skyrocket. Keep in mind that Waddle was drafted 7th overall in the 2021 NFL draft, and he scored over 15 PPG in his first two seasons in the NFL.
At 27 years old, the talent is still there with Waddle. All Waddle needs is a good situation around him, and he’ll jump up from this WR26 ranking.
3. Christian Watson (KTC Rank: WR33)
If you wanted to buy low on Christian Watson, the ideal time would have been back in September. On September 22nd, Watson was valued as the WR78 and since jumped up to the WR33 spot, but there’s still room for him to grow.
Watson has always been a fantastic talent, but he’s struggled to stay healthy. After suffering an ACL injury last year, Watson scored 13.2 PPG in 2025 (10 games).
At only 26 years old, the expectation is that Watson will only get better now that he’s going to have the full offseason to get healthy. Despite spending a first round NFL draft pick on Matthew Golden, he had just 29 catches for 361 yards as a rookie.
If Watson cements himself as the WR1 in this Green Bay Packers offense, his dynasty fantasy football value should rise even higher than this.
