Dynasty Fantasy Football Trade Advice Week 10
Buy: WR Troy Franklin, Denver Broncos
Let’s play a little game. Here are two nameless 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? Targets, catches, and scores are nearly identical. The only major difference is the yardage. Heck, even in dynasty value, they’re basically neighbors: Player A is the WR37 on KeepTradeCut, while Player B is the WR34.
Obviously, Troy Franklin is one of them — he’s 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 seems to be a 1A/1B situation as opposed to a clear WR1 and WR2.
Troy Franklin‘s 6-month dynasty value
Still just 22 years old, Franklin is eight years younger and, as you can see, he’s providing similar production as Sutton. Sutton is a target for contenders because he’s an older veteran, but I have a question: Why spend up to get a guy on the wrong side of 30 when you can get his younger running mate for roughly the same price? That’s like grabbing the eggs that expire in a couple of days when there’s a fresh carton right next to them.
Franklin is the one trending up, and his usage seems to indicate he’s here to stay. Going into Week 10’s matchup vs. 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 targets – 11 (WR4)
-
Deep targets – 14 (WR6)
As you can see, the Broncos are scheming up looks for him, and Bo Nix is looking for Franklin 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’ve got some second and third-rounders to burn, I’d package a couple together and try to land Franklin in a dynasty fantasy football trade. I’d happily 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 it gets the deal done — Franklin is the same age range as those guys, but he’s already producing actual fantasy points. No need to wait for a breakout.
Sell: RB Kyren Williams, Los Angeles Rams
Things are a little different in Tinseltown this year. The Rams aren’t just marching down the field and pounding it into the end zone with Kyren Williams like the last two seasons, when he piled up 31 combined TDs in 28 games. This season, Williams’ 17-game pace is 12 scores. Still awesome, but he’s not the same cheat code as before. The reason for the downtick is pretty simple: Williams has a Davante Adams problem.
In his first season with the Rams, Adams has been a dominant force in the red zone. He leads the league with 20 red zone targets, siphoning away opportunities that used to go to Williams. In fact, Adams has more targets inside the five-yard line (nine) than Williams has totes at the goal line (eight), per PlayerProfiler.
Instead of being the primary drive closer, Williams is now sharing those high-value touches with the NFL’s active leader in receiving TDs. And with Matthew Stafford currently playing at an MVP level, Adams is pacing for 17 scores over the full season.
Kyren Williams‘ Advanced Metrics
On top of Adams’ impact, second-year pro Blake Corum is quietly getting 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 blowout victories, 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 6-2, tied with a few teams for the top spot in the NFC. Whatever the reason, Williams doesn’t appear to have a death grip on the backfield like he once did.
Still, Williams is performing well … which is why you have a nice sell window currently. He’s averaging 4.4 yards per carry, and his 15.9 fantasy PPG has him at RB13. But his efficiency is lower than Corum’s (4.7 YPC), and his fantasy PPG is trending down:
- 21.3 FPPG (RB2) in 2023
- 17.0 FPPG (RB10) in 2024
- 15.9 FPPG (RB13) so far in 2025
That’s a slow slide, but smart dynasty managers sniff out trends like this and sell before others notice. Williams still carries the name value and top-15 production. If you aren’t going for a title this year, cashing out while you can still get great value might be the move to make.
Let’s talk returns. If you want picks, negotiations should start with a first and second-rounder. In a player swap, I’d target Marvin Harrison Jr. or Oronde Gadsden II if it’s TE-premium scoring. For those tanking, you could go after players like Travis Hunter, Tucker Kraft, or Cam Skattebo and get a plus on top.
Hold: WR Deebo Samuel, Washington Commanders
This one is a contenders-only Hold. If you are falling out of the playoff race and have Deebo Samuel, try to get what you can for him. But if you’re chasing a championship, hang on to him. Offensive players are falling like flies in Washington, so he could be a useful player down the stretch just based on sheer volume.
Samuel started his first season in the nation’s capital off on a high note. He had three WR1 performances over 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’s the WR73 with only 19 PPR points scored.
Deebo Samuel‘s 2025 game log
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 targets — 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 abysmal, ranking as a bottom-five unit in yards allowed. The offense should be playing from behind a lot, so that means more opportunities for Samuel. He already ranks first in the league in designed targets, so add in some garbage time, and it could be fireworks for fantasy managers.
Don’t stress yet and hold tight for now. Samuel has some salivating 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.
