Superflex Dynasty Trade Value Chart: December 2024

If you are a dynasty manager always looking for wins around the margins, you are constantly for trades that 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 of the movers and shakers in superflex formats. It has only been one month, but the game moves fast, and so should you when evaluating your roster.

Quarterback

• There are few surprises at one of fantasy’s most stable positions. Josh Allen is arguably playing the best football of his career, creating a tidy floor complemented by the enormous ceiling we saw in this past week’s contest against the Rams. Buffalo’s offensive centerpiece has a strong case to be the top overall pick in superflex startups.
• Joe Burrow has looked healthy in 2024 following wrist surgery in the off-season and has been playing MVP-level football for a disappointing Bengals team. It is tough for a pure pocket passer to crash the top five party at quarterback, but Burrow is the rare elite passer who can flirt with overall QB1 seasons.
• Caleb Williams has made strides over the back of 2024 but is still a projection in the Top 10 of dynasty quarterbacks. The upside, however, is undeniable, and Williams has grown more comfortable using his legs as of late. He figures to be a polarizing dynasty prospect during the 2025 off-season.

Running Back

• The next time we do this exercise, we should see both Christian McCaffrey and Jonathon Brooks take a tumble. CMC’s nightmare season continued with a PCL injury on a snowy night in Buffalo and Jonathon Brooks tore the same ACL he did during his junior season at Texas. Sadly, we may have to question whether Brooks ever gets his career off the ground, though he is still young enough to keep the light on for him and hope his rehab has him back at full strength in 2026.
• The year of the geriatric running back has been good for dynasty values, as backs 27 or older such as Saquon Barkley, Alvin Kamara, Joe Mixon, and David Montgomery have all seen their values hold or even rise after strong seasons. We may see a shift in how dynasty managers treat these backs come the off-season, but it is an interesting footnote, and in many cases riding runners until the wheels fall off may prove more sagacious than selling at a discount.
• Najee Harris is an interesting study. He has had a solid season for the Steelers, especially since Russell Wilson took over. His option year, however, was declined by Pittsburgh, and it is unclear if they have any interest in bringing him back. Najee may get a nice short-term deal on the open market, but uncertainty makes low-end RB2 a fair price.

Wide Receiver

• Were there not durability concerns, I am curious as to where Puka Nacua would be ranked. He has been dominant since getting past his most recent knee injury, clearly overtaking Cooper Kupp as the top receiver in Los Angeles. Sean McVay can seemingly not get him the football enough. A truly unique weapon whose aggressive and physical style may open him up to more injuries, Nacua is nonetheless a fantastic talent who has a case to be in the first tier of dynasty receivers.
• Jaxon Smith-Njigba’s hot stretch has moved him ahead of DK Metcalf in consensus rankings. JSN’s surge does not look like a fluke; he has shown the type of modern inside-out game that could make him a PPR machine. I am not ready to move him ahead of Metcalf – whom I believe is playing through injury and whose game could take off if the Seahawks improve their offensive line – but Smith-Njigba is worthy of a big rise.
• George Pickens at WR23 feels like thievery if you can nab him at said price. Still just 23 years of age, Pickens is trending towards another 1,000 yard campaign – assuming he can shake his recent hamstring injury and has quickly developed into one of the game’s best young receivers. He is a mercurial person on the field yet has avoided any off-field issues. If managers are scared away due to perceived risk, I would pounce. He is vastly undervalued.

Tight End

• Brock Bowers continues to separate at tight end, looking like a special player weekly and really the only reason to watch a sad Raiders squad. I am close-minded on this issue: Bowers is dynasty’s top tight end.
• Kyle Pitts may have finally broken the fantasy community. After a strong midseason run, he has again become an afterthought within the Atlanta offense. I would have interest in Pitts as your classic second-contract tight end breakout, but it is just not happening with the Falcons.
• David Njoku remains a massive buy. I am not sure what he has to do to garner more respect; he is always extremely valuable when Deshaun Watson is not sabotaging the offense. I will gladly take him in the mid-rounds of 2025 and reap the rewards again.

Risers

• Bo Nix opened the year as a viable fantasy quarterback, though passing limitations put a cap on his ceiling. He has since taken off as a passer, with Denver becoming one of the more interesting offenses, even if Nix and Courtland Sutton have been the only true standouts. It is worth noting Denver has had some soft matchups, but Nix has taken advantage of them, which is what you want to see from an ascending player. Established as Denver’s starter and with the rushing ability to add a few extra points with his legs each week, Nix is flirting with QB1 territory.
• Drake Maye is another rookie quarterback who has shown a ton of promise. Always a good athlete, Maye has still surprised with some of his rushing totals, and he has moved the football despite serious limitations on offense around him. The Patriots are still a mess in a lot of regards, but they look to have found their franchise quarterback.

Fallers

• Diontae Johnson’s Ravens tenure has been anything but storybook. He has caught a single pass in Baltimore and was recently suspended for refusing to enter a game. As a free agent who turns 29 next summer, we may have closed the book on Johnson as a fantasy difference-maker.
• Justin Fields looked like a serviceable if unspectacular starter during his stint as Pittsburgh’s lead man. Russell Wilson’s resurgence, however, has clouded Fields’ long-term future and made Fields’ contributions to the Steelers look meager in comparison. Fields may have to latch on as a backup in 2025, making him nothing more than a bench stash in dynasty leagues.
