Top 5 Dynasty Assets Traded In July

Kevin looks at the five most traded assets in the dynasty format through the month of July!

July is when the dynasty offseason starts to heat back up. With training camps in full swing, we’re finally getting real updates, injury news, depth chart movement — and that means your league should be waking up. This is the perfect window to make strategic trades before preseason hype inflates or tanks values.

In this article, I’m breaking down the five most traded assets in dynasty leagues during July. We’ll dive into why these players are moving, how their situations are evolving in camp, and whether you should be buying, selling, or holding.

Let’s get into it.

Cleveland Browns RB Quinshon Judkins

Let’s start with the obvious: Judkins’ dynasty value took a hit this month. He was arrested on July 14th on domestic violence charges and has yet to sign his rookie contract. He’s currently not in camp as he handles the legal situation, and there's a real chance he starts the year suspended or on the commissioner’s exempt list.

Before all this, Judkins was trending toward being the early-down guy in Cleveland’s backfield. The Browns moved on from both Nick Chubb and D’Onta Foreman this offseason, then double-dipped at the position by drafting Judkins in the second round and Dylan Sampson in the fourth. It was a clear signal that they wanted to re-establish the run game and hit reset in that room.

That said, this backfield is going to be messy for a while. Jerome Ford has flashed in both receiving and early-down work, and Sampson’s efficiency metrics as a receiver are intriguing despite his smaller role at Tennessee. And if Judkins misses a significant chunk of camp, it’s possible he gets eased in early, which could muddy the waters into October.

But let’s zoom out. The Browns run a ton of plays, Stefanski leans on his RBs, and Cleveland clearly sees Judkins as a key part of the future. His profile as a pure runner is still one of the best in this class, and once the legal dust settles, he has a real shot at being a top-15 back in the second half of the year.

From a dynasty perspective, I’m still buying. This is the time to take advantage of the uncertainty. If the rookie contract drama and off-field issues are making managers nervous, now’s your window. The NFL always gives talented runners multiple chances and Judkins is talented. Period.

Verdict: Buy (Window is Open)

Miami Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle

If you’ve been following this series all offseason, you know one thing: Waddle’s name stays on this list. Outside of Chris Olave, no player has been traded more in dynasty circles the past few months than Jaylen Waddle. And honestly? I get it.

Waddle is one of those assets that nobody seems to feel strongly about anymore. He’s not exactly a buy, not quite a sell more of a “depends on the build” type. After a down year where he posted just 744 receiving yards and 2 touchdowns, the shine has worn off a bit. But context matters. Tua missed time, the offense stalled late, and Waddle dealt with a late-season knee injury. He didn’t need surgery, but it clearly limited him. Even with the missed time, he still managed over 3.8 catches and nearly 50 yards per game, which obviously isn’t WR1 territory, but it’s far from unusable.

What’s interesting is that with Jonnu Smith gone, Waddle could get more slot reps this year and that’s a good thing. The easy underneath targets that went to Jonnu are now up for grabs, and Waddle’s skill set fits that space game perfectly. He’s always been a high-efficiency player and still owns one of the best yards-per-route-run profiles of any receiver since college better than Ja’Marr Chase and CeeDee Lamb during that 2020 stretch.

Waddle’s now had three 1,000-yard seasons and one letdown year. He’s still only 25. But with a career-low 16.6% target share last year and just two touchdowns, it's fair to temper WR1 expectations. A WR2 bounce-back season feels more realistic, especially if the offense regresses toward more balance and Tua stays upright.

At the end of the day, I’m not chasing him, but I’m not offloading him either. He’s just one of those assets where the move depends on roster build and the offers coming in.

Verdict: Hold (Market Dependent)
