Tactical Transactions: Dynasty Moves to Make Before Week One
This is the week! You’ve spent all off-season honing in on your approach, and now it’s time to (hopefully) reap the benefits of your diligence. You now have just a couple of days left before speculation turns into box score statistical goodness.
To aid in this process, I will list one player apiece on a weekly basis who I’ve bucketed into the following categories:
- Buy low
- Buy high
- Sell low
- Sell high
- Add (Big Bucks)
- Add (Pennies)
As a reminder, and as something of a shameless plug, I recently concluded my off-season Dynasty Buy/Sell/Hold series across all eight NFL divisions! You can also refer to these pieces for my additional long form thoughts on roster moves to make. All installments can be found here.
One last note, as I’m leveraging DLF ADP and rankings, advice herein is for a 12-team, non-superflex setting with full PPR scoring. Divergent league settings (both for starting positions and scoring) hopefully shouldn’t render this advice as not actionable, but it’s an important disclaimer nonetheless.
With that preamble in hand, here are the tactical transactions you should consider before week one:
Buy Low – Khalil Shakir, WR BUF
Just days before the 2024 NFL kickoff and we are truthfully no closer to understanding who will function as the Bills’ leading pass catcher. Tight end Dalton Kincaid seems to be the chalk, and I’m not going to argue much against that – he had a solid rookie season at a position known to require growing pains. But behind him, or if I’m blasphemous, dare I say perhaps even equivalent to him is third-year receiver Shakir.
