If you are a dynasty manager always looking for wins around the margins, you are constantly for trades which can help you get where you want to go. Fortunately, DLF provides the Dynasty Trade Analyzer, combining expert rankings, community dynasty ADP, and actual trades to narrow down a player’s trade value.
Of course, players’ values always change. Injuries, inconsistent play, or rapidly changing situations can all play a hand in causing a player to rise or fall. Below, we will look at some movers and shakers in single quarterback formats. It has only been one month, but the game moves fast, and so should you when evaluating your roster.

Josh Allen holds steady at QB1, and his resume is unimpeachable. Few are better bets to land within the Top 5 at their position than Allen annually and he combines an elite floor with the upside to be a runaway QB1 on any given week. The Bills have provided him with the deepest and most versatile receiver group he has ever had – a wild notion given they moved Stefon Diggs in the off-season – and Allen has arguably looked better than ever on the field. If there is one wart for Allen, it is his rushing attempts are down given the better balance around him. It could be small sample noise, but it was always likely he was scaled back in this area as he aged.
Behind Allen, there has been a bit of shuffling. Jayden Daniels has looked the part of a superstar as a rookie, and the notion of landing a 23-year phenom at quarterback who has arguably the best rushing skills this side of Lamar Jackson has fantasy managers moving him up to QB2. The aforementioned Jackson is having another sublime season, moving him up to QB3 as he continues to grow as a player. Still just 27, there is no reason to expect Jackson to slow down anytime soon.
Despite a pedestrian 2024 season, CJ Stroud is holding steady as a highly regarded dynasty asset. It is important to note he is still just 23 years old, and this offense should continue to grow as his game matures. A continued lack of rushing numbers could lead to him being leapfrogged by others soon, however. Also disappointing fantasy managers, Patrick Mahomes takes a dip as his previously elite ceiling has not been seen for quite some time.
Trevor Lawrence is holding on for dear life at the back end of QB1 rankings, but it feels the bloom is always nearly all the way off of this rose. This is not to say Lawrence is a dud; he still has spike games, and there is reason to hope better days are ahead if Doug Pederson moves on soon. It does feel, however, he will be overtaken by some ascending quarterbacks such as Drake Maye or Bo Nix soon.

The top three running backs are separated by a razor’s edge, and it is easy to see why. Each has the tools to contribute on all three downs and can post 100 all-purpose yards almost by accident. With Hall the elder statesman at only 23, it is tough to see any knocking these three out of the top tier anytime soon.
Saquon Barkley’s tremendous 2024 season has him moving up ranks despite being the dreaded aging runner. He looks explosive, healthy, and a perfect fit for the Philadelphia offense. Given running backs have a short-term shelf life regardless, there is no need to look too far ahead, and Barkley could provide immense value over the next two seasons.
Kyren Williams has finally received the respect his production warrants. We may still be caught up on his draft capital or some ugly yards per carry numbers, but Sean McVay trusts him immensely and there is reason to believe the team wants to extend Williams in Los Angeles. His value rises with each strong week.
Travis Etienne is still lurking in the Top 10, but it figures to be short-lived. His stock tumbled from October to November, and he has looked like the second-best back on his own team in 2024. If you can find someone willing to pay this price for Etienne, it is an excellent time to move him.
Bucky Irving is perhaps the most notable name to surge into the Top 24. The Buccaneers rookie has often looked like the best back in Tampa, though Rachaad White still takes on a lot of receiving work. As a pure runner, however, Irving looks the part, and concerns over his slight stature and mediocre testing have proven unfounded at this juncture. He can play and may surpass White in these rankings before long.

Wide receiver is traditionally the most stable position around, yet one big move has been made: the big three at receiver is now a big four. Malik Nabers has surged to the top of rankings, as he has looked every bit the part of a superstar here to stay. We obviously do not like receivers attached to Daniel Jones, but we have to have faith this situation improves as early as 2025.
Fellow rookie Brian Thomas is also a fast riser. Despite all the negative noise in Jacksonville, he has consistently performed at a high level, building on the promise he showed at LSU as a junior. A true size and speed specimen, Thomas is looking like a complete receiver who has worked his way into the WR1 mix.
Jaylen Waddle has been a puzzling player in 2024. Even when Tua Tagovailoa has been healthy, Waddle has been an afterthought, a far cry from the consistent force we have seen when he has paired with Mike McDaniel. Normally, we would be excited about a soon to be 26-year-old who started his career with three consecutive 1,000-yard campaigns, but Waddle is all of a sudden, a declining asset.
It has not been smooth on a week-to-week basis, but the overall performance for Jayden Reed has been extremely promising in year two. He is the clear top option in Green Bay, a versatile weapon who can tilt matchups with his big play ability and nose for the endzone. While he may never dominate in traditional ways, he is such a unique weapon he deserves the bump he has received in dynasty rankings.

We often get tired of the term “generational”, rolling our eyes whenever it is used given its frequency and how often the term falls flat. Dare I say, however, Brock Bowers looks…generational? A tremendous rookie season has Bowers sitting as the top tight end by a wide margin. While tight ends are often more immune to poor quarterback play than wide receivers, it is still fair to wonder what Bowers’ ceiling is if or when the Raiders upgrade at the position. The possibilities for his success are endless.
Understandably, Sam LaPorta has seen his stock take a ding during a milquetoast sophomore campaign. He has often run as the fifth option within Detroit’s offense, a victim of the emergence of Jameson Williams as well as the Lions’ improvement on defense. Better days will be ahead for LaPorta, and situations are seldom static. We know LaPorta can play at a high level and he already has an overall TE1 season under his belt. Moving behind Bowers makes all the sense and the world, but he remains comfortably in tier two with Trey McBride.
Dalton Kincaid stands out as possibly the most overpriced player, and his cost has actually risen over the past month. Kincaid has never established himself as someone who commands targets within the Buffalo offense, operating more as a piece of the puzzle. It would be little surprise if he took a tumble over the next month.

It is no surprise to see a pair of Commanders on this list. The Washington offense has been electric in 2024, and a rising tide lifts all boats. Brian Robinson has shown himself to be a reliable three-down runner who has added more receiving work than we had expected. The arrival of Jayden Daniels has lifted this entire team and made Daniels himself a premier asset.
Youth is the name of the game here. Tank Bigsby has completely flipped the script after a poor rookie year. Four rookies make this list, and Jordan Love is the grizzled veteran in his fifth year.

The uncertainty surrounding Christian McCaffrey’s Achilles has led to a precipitous drop. He is slated to return this week – which could see him back on the upswing – but any further setbacks and his stock will continue to plummet. Teammate Brandon Aiyuk suffered a multi-ligament knee injury in this timeframe, and sadly may not be the same until 2026.
Even before the benching, Anthony Richardson was slipping with his poor play. There is still time for him to turn this thing around, but there is no reason to not knock him down given the information we have to date.

The uncertainty surrounding Christian McCaffrey’s Achilles has led to a precipitous drop. He is slated to return this week – which could see him back on the upswing – but any further setbacks and his stock will continue to plummet. Teammate Brandon Aiyuk suffered a multi-ligament knee injury in this timeframe, and sadly may not be the same until 2026.
Even before the benching, Anthony Richardson was slipping with his poor play. There is still time for him to turn this thing around, but there is no reason to not knock him down given the information we have to date.
If you are a dynasty manager always looking for wins around the margins, you are constantly for trades which can help you get where you want to go. Fortunately, DLF provides the Dynasty Trade Analyzer, combining expert rankings, community dynasty ADP, and actual trades to narrow down a player’s trade value.
Of course, players' values always change. Injuries, inconsistent play, or rapidly changing situations can all play a hand in causing a player to rise or fall. Below, we will look at some movers and shakers in single quarterback formats. It has only been one month, but the game moves fast, and so should you when evaluating your roster.

Josh Allen holds steady at QB1, and his resume is unimpeachable. Few are better bets to land within the Top 5 at their position than Allen annually and he combines an elite floor with the upside to be a runaway QB1 on any given week. The Bills have provided him with the deepest and most versatile receiver group he has ever had – a wild notion given they moved Stefon Diggs in the off-season – and Allen has arguably looked better than ever on the field. If there is one wart for Allen, it is his rushing attempts are down given the better balance around him. It could be small sample noise, but it was always likely he was scaled back in this area as he aged.
Behind Allen, there has been a bit of shuffling. Jayden Daniels has looked the part of a superstar as a rookie, and the notion of landing a 23-year phenom at quarterback who has arguably the best rushing skills this side of Lamar Jackson has fantasy managers moving him up to QB2. The aforementioned Jackson is having another sublime season, moving him up to QB3 as he continues to grow as a player. Still just 27, there is no reason to expect Jackson to slow down anytime soon.
Despite a pedestrian 2024 season, CJ Stroud is holding steady as a highly regarded dynasty asset. It is important to note he is still just 23 years old, and this offense should continue to grow as his game matures. A continued lack of rushing numbers could lead to him being leapfrogged by others soon, however. Also disappointing fantasy managers, Patrick Mahomes takes a dip as his previously elite ceiling has not been seen for quite some time.
Trevor Lawrence is holding on for dear life at the back end of QB1 rankings, but it feels the bloom is always nearly all the way off of this rose. This is not to say Lawrence is a dud; he still has spike games, and there is reason to hope better days are ahead if Doug Pederson moves on soon. It does feel, however, he will be overtaken by some ascending quarterbacks such as Drake Maye or Bo Nix soon.
