Buy and sell articles have always felt a little lazy to me. The reality is that every dynasty league is a microcosm of itself. League settings, roster construction, trade tendencies, and how individual managers value players all impact what a player is actually worth. A player who is considered a sell in one league might be impossible to move in another, while a potential buy could already be valued as an elite asset by the manager who rosters him. There is no universal blueprint for buying and selling players in dynasty leagues, and pretending otherwise ignores what makes dynasty fantasy football so unique.
That being said, there are still ways to identify market inefficiencies and take advantage of how other managers value certain players. That’s where Jay Stein’s Dynasty Investor Tool comes into play.
Jay has developed a tool that helps dynasty managers evaluate player values through a different lens, identifying potential buying and selling opportunities based on the current market. Rather than simply telling you to buy a struggling player or sell someone coming off a big performance, the tool provides another layer of information to help you make more informed decisions.
For this article, we’re going to use Jay’s Dynasty Investor Tool to identify one buy and one sell at each position: quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and tight end. That gives us eight players whose current market values are worth examining as we navigate the dynasty landscape.
As always, context matters. I’m not suggesting you blindly trade away every player listed as a sell or aggressively pursue every buy. The goal is to identify where value might exist, understand what the market is telling us, and ultimately make better decisions for our dynasty rosters.
You can find Jay Stein’s Dynasty Investor Tool on our website, where you can use the data to evaluate your own rosters and identify potential trade opportunities in your leagues.
Let’s get into the players.
Quarterbacks
Dynasty BUY: Jordan Love (QB, Green Bay Packers)
Dynasty Investor Tool: Current Price: 56.8 | Target Price: 65.4 | +15.1% Upside
Jay Stein’s Dynasty Investor Tool identifies Love as a buy, and I’m inclined to agree. Love is one of those quarterbacks who doesn’t always generate the same excitement as some of the younger, more mobile options, but I’m not sure the dynasty community is giving him enough credit for what he’s doing in Green Bay. Through seven games this season, Love has thrown for 1,958 yards, 13 touchdowns, and five interceptions while averaging 19.1 fantasy points per game. He’s thrown at least one touchdown in every game and has recorded two passing touchdowns in six of his seven starts. The production has been consistent, and at just 28 years old, there’s little reason to believe he’s approaching the end of his prime.
What makes Love particularly interesting is the direction of Green Bay’s offense. Matt LaFleur has increasingly leaned on Love and the passing game, and we’ve seen what that increased volume can mean for his fantasy production. He’s attempted at least 40 passes in four of his seven games, including performances of 387, 367, and 312 passing yards. The obvious limitation is his lack of rushing production, which will likely prevent him from consistently competing with the elite dual-threat quarterbacks. However, that doesn’t mean he can’t provide legitimate QB1 production for dynasty managers. He’s already demonstrated that he can produce at a high level through the air, and Green Bay has surrounded him with a young group of offensive weapons.
From a dynasty perspective, I think Love represents an excellent opportunity to acquire a quarterback with both immediate production and long-term security without paying the premium associated with the position’s elite assets. He’s under contract through 2028, firmly entrenched as Green Bay’s franchise quarterback, and operating in an offense that has shown a willingness to put the ball in his hands. Jay’s model projects a 15.1% increase in value, and I think there’s a legitimate argument that Love belongs closer to the next tier of dynasty quarterbacks than his current price suggests. In Superflex formats, I’d be actively exploring his availability, particularly if his manager views him as nothing more than a QB2. At his current market price, I’m buying Jordan Love.

Dynasty SELL: Kyler Murray (QB, Minnesota Vikings)
Dynasty Investor Tool: Current Price: 37.3 | Target Price: 30.1 | -19.3% Downside
I’ll be the first to admit that I was intrigued by Murray landing in Minnesota this offseason. The opportunity to work with Kevin O’Connell, throw to Justin Jefferson, and potentially revive his dynasty value seemed like an ideal situation for a quarterback who desperately needed a fresh start. Unfortunately, through five starts, the results have been underwhelming. Murray has thrown for just 812 yards, three touchdowns, and two interceptions while adding 132 rushing yards. For a quarterback whose fantasy success has historically depended on his ability to create explosive plays with his legs, the lack of production is concerning. Minnesota is finding ways to win football games, but those victories haven’t translated into the fantasy production dynasty managers were hoping for.
What concerns me most isn’t necessarily the passing production, although that hasn’t been particularly impressive either. It’s the continued decline in Murray’s rushing upside. At his peak, Murray was one of the most dangerous dual-threat quarterbacks in football, and his ability to accumulate fantasy points on the ground helped compensate for inconsistent passing performances. Through five games this season, he has just 25 rushing attempts and hasn’t found the end zone once. He’s still capable of making plays with his legs, but we’re no longer seeing the rushing volume that made him such a valuable fantasy asset. Without that production, Murray becomes increasingly dependent on his passing ability, and I’m not convinced he’s demonstrated enough consistency in that department to warrant his current dynasty valuation.
The other issue here is his long-term outlook. Murray is approaching 30 years old, playing on a short-term deal, and doesn’t have the same organizational security that many of his dynasty counterparts possess. There’s no guarantee Murray will remain the team’s starting quarterback beyond this season. That uncertainty matters, particularly in Superflex leagues where having a quarterback with a secure starting job is incredibly valuable. Jay Stein’s Dynasty Investor Tool currently projects a 19.3% decline in Murray’s value, and I think that’s a reasonable assessment of where things stand. I’m not suggesting dynasty managers should panic and move Murray for whatever they can get. However, if there’s a manager in your league who still believes in his historical QB1 upside or is excited about the possibility of a connection with Justin Jefferson, I’d be actively exploring a deal. At this point in his career, I’d rather move off Murray a year too early than be left holding an aging quarterback with declining rushing production and an uncertain future.
