Dynasty Trade Trends: The 5 Most Moved Players This Month
Kevin looks at the most traded assets in the month of January.
Every offseason, dynasty leagues turn into markets.
Not rankings.
Not hype cycles.
Markets.
And the fastest way to understand a market isn’t ADP or Twitter discourse; it’s trade behavior.
This article looks at the five most traded dynasty assets of the month. Not because they’re the “best” players, but because they’re the ones managers can’t stop moving, pricing, and re-evaluating.
These are the assets:
Managers are building around
Managers are consolidating into
Managers are quietly exiting
In other words, this is where liquidity lives.
Why This Matters (Liquidity, Consolidation & Leverage Tie-In)
In dynasty, value doesn’t come from what a player is.
It comes from what a player can be turned into.
Highly traded assets give us three critical signals:
Liquidity
These players are easy to move.
They have:
Active buyers
Flexible price ranges
Market trust (even when production dips)
Liquidity is protection. If an asset is constantly moving, you’re rarely stuck holding it.
Consolidation Targets
When managers consolidate depth, these are the players they’re targeting.
Multiple “fine” pieces → one tradable, insulated asset.
The goal isn’t chasing stars.
It’s chasing assets that hold value through chaos.
If a player keeps showing up in deals, it means:
Managers are willing to pay up
The market agrees on a value floor
You can rebundle them later if needed
That’s consolidation without fragility.
Leverage Windows
Heavy trade volume creates leverage.
When an asset is everywhere:
Contenders and rebuilders both want it
Timing matters more than talent
Small market shifts create big value swings
This is where sharp managers enter early, exit clean, or reroute value without forcing moves.
How to Use This Article
This isn’t a buy/sell list.
It’s a market map.
As you read through each player, ask:
Am I holding this asset or chasing it?
Does this player give me flexibility in future trades?
Is this a consolidation piece — or a piece I should consolidate out of?
Because dynasty isn’t about being right once.
It’s about staying liquid, leveraged, and in control long enough to win repeatedly.
Marvin Harrison Jr. — WR, Arizona Cardinals
As Marvin Harrison Jr. stood in front of his locker at the end of the 2025 season, he didn’t sugarcoat it.
“It was an incomplete season for me, really.”
That quote says everything.
This wasn’t the Year 2 leap Harrison or the Cardinals expected. Coming into the season, the setup looked right: Harrison added roughly 11 pounds of muscle, had a full year of NFL experience behind him, and Arizona believed it was ready to take a step forward offensively.
None of that materialized.
Harrison’s season was derailed by a brutal run of setbacks: a concussion, an unexpected appendectomy, and lingering heel issues in both feet. He appeared in 12 games, but at least four of those were clearly impacted by injury. The result was a stat line that disappointed relative to expectations: 41 receptions for 608 yards and four touchdowns, while tight end Trey McBride and wide receiver Michael Wilson carried the passing game.
When Harrison missed time, Wilson surged, posting 499 yards and three touchdowns in those games alone and eclipsing 1,000 yards for the season. Fair or not, it created a perception problem for a player who entered the league with “generational” labels attached to his name. Through two NFL seasons, Harrison hasn’t lived up to that billing yet, and even he would tell you that. But context matters. This was a lost season physically, and it was a lost season structurally for the Cardinals as a whole.
The encouraging part? Harrison is only 23 years old, and the reset is coming.
Arizona is expected to bring in a new coaching staff, likely a new offensive coordinator, and potentially a new quarterback. Kyler Murray didn’t play since Week 5, and while Jacoby Brissett held things together, he’s not the long-term answer. If the Cardinals do move on from Kyler, that’s not a negative for Harrison; it’s a chance to reset the entire offensive identity around him.
The constant in all of this is GM Monti Ossenfort, the same decision-maker who drafted Harrison fourth overall in 2024 and still believes in the long-term vision.
From a dynasty perspective, this is exactly why Harrison keeps showing up in trades.
He’s no longer priced as an untouchable WR1 overall. Sitting around WR18, the market has corrected after being too aggressive early. And that’s precisely why I still view him as a buy in this format. This isn’t blind optimism. It’s market logic. Harrison is being valued closer to his floor than his ceiling right now, and that ceiling is still a top-12 dynasty wide receiver. A healthier offseason, a new coordinator, and any improvement or change at quarterback could unlock the version of Harrison that people expected all along. I’m not selling the talent because of one derailed season. I’m buying it, now that the price finally makes sense.
