Dynasty Fantasy Football Trade Advice Week 10

Buy: WR Troy Franklin, Denver Broncos

Let’s play a game. Here are two unnamed players and their stats so far in 2025:

• Player A: 73 targets, 42 receptions, 425 receiving yards, five TDs – 11.9 PPR PPG
• Player B: 66 targets, 41 receptions, 590 receiving yards, four TDS – 12.6 PPR PPG

Pretty similar usage, right? Goals, catches and scores are virtually identical. The only major difference is the distance. Even in dynasty value, they are effectively neighbors: Player A is the WR37 on KeepTradeCut, while Player B is the WR34.

Obviously, Troy Franklin is one of them: he is Player A. Player B is his teammate, Courtland Sutton. Sutton, 30, signed a four-year, $92 million extension before this season, so he’s not going anywhere, but this now appears to be a 1A/1B situation, as opposed to a clear WR1 and WR2.

Franklin is still only 22 years old, but eight years younger and, as you can see, he provides similar production to Sutton. Sutton is a target for contenders because he’s an older veteran, but I have a question: Why spend money to get a 30-year-old guy on the wrong side when you can get his younger running mate for about the same price? That’s like taking eggs that will expire in a few days, while there’s a fresh carton next to them.

Franklin is the one on the rise, and his usage seems to indicate he’s here to stay. Going into the Week 10 matchup against the Raiders, where he caught five of nine targets for 40 yards and a TD, here’s where Franklin ranked in usage:

• Designed Targets – 15 (WR2)

• Red Zone Goals – 11 (WR4)

• Deep Targets – 14 (WR6)

As you can see, the Broncos are making plans for him, and Bo Nix is ​​looking for Franklin further down the field and in scoring position. The two played together at Oregon and came into the league together, so the chemistry is already built in and growing.

If you have a few second- and third-rounders to burn, I’d bundle a few together and try to get Franklin in a dynasty fantasy football trade. I’d love to flip running backs like Zach Charbonnet or Trey Benson for him. I’d also move rookie wideouts like Matthew Golden or Luther Burden III if the deal gets done – Franklin is in the same age range as those guys, but he’s already producing real fantasy points. You don’t have to wait for an outbreak.

Sale: RB Kyren Williams, Los Angeles Rams

This year, things are a little different in Tinseltown. The Rams don’t just march down the field and pound into the end zone with Kyren Williams like he did the past two seasons, when he scored 31 combined touchdowns in 28 games. This season, Williams’ pace in 17 games is 12 scores. Still great, but it’s not the same cheat code as before. The reason for the downtick is quite simple: Williams has a Davante Adams problem.

In his first season with the Rams, Adams was a dominant force in the red zone. He leads the league with 20 goals from the red zone, erasing opportunities that used to go to Williams. In fact, according to PlayerProfiler, Adams has more goals inside the five-yard line (nine) than Williams has on the goal line (eight).

Instead of being the main driver, Williams is now sharing those valuable touches with the NFL’s active leader in receiving TDs. And with Matthew Stafford currently playing at an MVP level, Adams is aiming for 17 scores all season.

In addition to Adams’ impact, second-year pro Blake Corum has been quietly becoming more involved as of late. Over the last two games, Corum earned 26 touches, compared to Williams’ 39, while playing 27-35% of the snaps. Maybe it’s the result of two big wins, and nothing more. Or perhaps the Rams want to lighten Williams’ workload as the season progresses to keep him fresh for the playoffs. After all, the Rams are currently tied with a few teams for first place in the NFC at 6-2. Whatever the reason, Williams doesn’t appear to have a death grip on the backfield like he once did.

Still, Williams is performing well… and that’s why you’re currently having a nice sales period. He averages 4.4 yards per carry, and his fantasy PPG of 15.9 puts him at RB13. But his efficiency is lower than Corum’s (4.7 YPC), and his fantasy PPG is trending downward:

• 21.3 FPPG (RB2) in 2023
• 17.0 FPPG (RB10) in 2024
• 15.9 FPPG (RB13) so far in 2025

That happens slowly, but smart dynasty managers pick up on these kinds of trends and sell before others notice. Williams still carries the name value and top-15 production. If you’re not going for a title this year, it may be wise to cash out while you can still get great value.

Let’s talk about returns. If you want choices, negotiations must start with a first and second round. In a player trade, I would focus on Marvin Harrison Jr. or Oronde Gadsden II when it comes to TE premium scores. For those who are tanking, you can go after players like Travis Hunter, Tucker Kraft, or Cam Skattebo and get a plus on top of that.

Guard: WR Deebo Samuel, Washington commanders

This one is for contenders only. If you’re out of the playoff race and have Deebo Samuel, try to get what you can for him. But if you’re chasing a championship, hold on to it. Offensive players are dropping like flies in Washington, so he could be a useful player down the road based on his volume alone.

Samuel started his first season in the country’s capital with a good feeling. He had three WR1 appearances through the first five weeks and was the WR7 in PPR points scored during that span. But since? Samuel has been a major disappointment since Week 6: he is the WR73 with only 19 PPR points scored.

Going forward, I expect things to improve. Look for Samuel to get back into the WR2/WR3 range in terms of production. He’ll have almost no competition for goals – Terry McLaurin re-injured his quad with no return date, and Luke McCaffrey broke his collarbone and is out for the season. Outside of Zach Ertz, Samuel should get all the looks he can handle.

Washington’s defense is also terrible, ranking in the bottom five in yards allowed. In attack, a lot of play should be played from the back, so that means more opportunities for Samuel. He already ranks first in the league in designed targets, so add some garbage to that and it could be fireworks for fantasy managers.

Don’t worry yet and hold on for now. Samuel has some drool-worthy matchups in the fantasy playoffs: Giants in Week 15 and Cowboys in Week 17. Those could be shootouts, and that’s exactly when you want a high-upside weapon like Samuel in your lineup.
