I hope you’re enjoying your fantasy football season so far. There are only four weeks left until the playoffs, so make sure you are maximizing every chance you get to improve your roster. Take a hard look at those fantasy playoff schedules, too. Some players have a much smoother path to success than others. Perhaps you can make a lateral dynasty fantasy football trade for someone with easier matchups when it matters most. Gotta do whatever it takes to bring home the championship before a long offseason sets in.
Of course, in dynasty, there really isn’t much of an offseason. Next thing you know, you’ll be scouting rookies in preparation for 2026 rookie drafts, hoping this next class will fill in your roster and bring you to the Promised Land. But until then, good luck as you march on toward the playoffs (or your rebuild).
If you’re looking for an edge or some guidance on the best dynasty move to make before the majority of Week 11 kicks off, I’ve got you covered. I’ve highlighted some players I think you should buy, sell, or hold in Week 11, depending on your roster build. Check them out below — and go make some deals.

Dynasty Fantasy Football Trade Advice Week 11
Buy: RB Bucky Irving, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
What if I told you that you could acquire a young, workhorse running back who’s averaging 18 PPR points per game this season, for the cheapest he’s ever been? What’s the catch, right? Well, obviously we’re talking about Bucky Irving, so the catch is he hasn’t played since Week 4, and the team has been shadier than a politician when it comes to when he’ll be back in action.
It’ll take some specific circumstances to feel comfortable buying Irving. If you’re in the middle of the pack or light on future draft capital, I don’t think he’s someone you should be targeting. But he does make sense for two types of managers: contenders sitting comfortably at the top of the standings who can afford to wait for his return, and re-tooling managers who have a stockpile of picks and premium players at every position but RB.
Irving managers are probably frustrated. If they’re contending, they’re likely tired of seeing the little red “O” next to his name. This means you have a buying window.
Bucky Irving‘s Advanced Metrics
With Irving missing most of the season up to this point, Tampa Bay’s run game has suffered. They rank 27th in rushing yards as a team. Rachaad White has filled in admirably, but he’s reverted to his inefficient ways from earlier in his career, averaging just 3.7 YPC. White works best in a tandem role — he’s more of a backup singer than a lead vocalist. Meanwhile, Sean Tucker has handled 21 carries in the past two games and averaged 4.5 YPC, but he’s not a major threat to Irving’s workload once he returns from injury.
Sure, Irving wasn’t exactly lighting the world on fire early before the injuries — his 3.3 YPC average is worse than White’s — but we’ve seen burst from Bucky before. In 2024, he averaged 4.9 YPC and ranked in the top 10 in several efficiency metrics: juke rate, evaded tackles, breakaway runs, and Explosive Rating.
Now, for the good news: Irving returned to practice this week. He is out for this week and will likely need a brief ramp-up period before he steps back into his 18-20 touches per game workload. But this is a step in the right direction.
And when Irving does return, get a load of this end-of-season schedule through the fantasy playoffs:
- Week 12: Rams (7th in rush defense)
- Week 13: Cardinals (15th in rush defense)
- Week 14: Saints (23rd in rush defense)
- Week 15: Falcons (27th in rush defense)
- Week 16: Panthers (20th in rush defense)
- Week 17: Dolphins (30th in rush defense)
That’s a thing of beauty if you are looking to acquire Irving’s services before the stretch run.
Even with the extended absence, Irving won’t come cheap. You’ll need to part with a first-rounder plus more. If you have WR depth, maybe you can move an older guy like Michael Pittman or A.J. Brown and a second-rounder for Irving. Something along those lines feels fair for both sides. Act fast, though. As soon as those “Bucky will play” tweets drop, this window will slam shut.
Sell: WR Parker Washington, Jacksonville Jaguars
Dynasty managers holding Parker Washington have to feel like they found a $20 bill in their jeans while doing laundry. He’s been a sleeper in the community since last year, and we’ve seen some flashes, but Washington hadn’t done much until the injury bug bit Jacksonville’s WR corps.
With Brian Thomas Jr. banged up and Travis Hunter now out of the season with an LCL injury, the Jaguars have leaned on Washington. He’s become a full-time guy as of late, earning 26 targets and five carries in his last three games. Washington turned those opportunities into 15 catches for 175 yards and a TD. He’s also flashed as a return man, taking a punt to the house against Houston last week. Washington now has double-digit PPR points in three straight outings and has a clear runway to showcase his skills the rest of the year.
That’s why now is a perfect time to shop — and possibly sell — him. Washington’s value is at an all-time high, propped up by volume while the starters are sidelined. He’s currently up to WR63 on KeepTradeCut. I’m not sure how much higher the former sixth-round pick can climb. Thomas Jr. was practicing this week, and if he doesn’t suit up on Sunday, then he should be back soon. The Jaguars also traded for Jakobi Meyers at the deadline; he should get more involved as he gets acclimated to the offense. Oh, and Hunter should be good to go for the start of the 2026 season.
Parker Washington‘s All-time Dynasty Value
If Meyers sticks around next season, it’s hard to envision a pathway for Washington to earn touches with all those other guys on the field. He’ll likely shrink back into a rotational role on offense. This mini breakout has been fun, but don’t let that trick you into holding.
If you have a chance to flip him for a mid-to-late second-rounder, do it. Sold. Or you can do what I did this week and throw him into a larger deal to tier up. In a league where I decided to start a rebuild, I packaged Washington, Aaron Rodgers and a projected late second-round pick to get Xavier Worthy. That’s how you turn those crusty assets into upgrades.
Hold: RBs Kenneth Walker III & Zach Charbonnet, Seattle Seahawks
This backfield has been maddening, to say the least. The Seahawks spent much of the offseason hyping up Kenneth Walker III, telling us that he’s the straw that stirs the drink in this offense. Instead, we’ve seen Jaxon Smith-Njigba put up historic numbers in the passing game. Meanwhile, Walker splits time with Zach Charbonnet and keeps getting yanked at the goal line like Wendell Brown from Varsity Blues.
Neither guy is giving you even RB2 production because of this split. Walker’s been the better of the two (barely) through 10 weeks, sitting at RB27 with 539 rushing yards, three scores, and 4.5 YPC. But receiving workload has been almost nonexistent, just 11 catches for 83 scoreless yards. Meanwhile, Charbonnet checks in at RB28, averaging just 3.3 YPC with 313 rushing yards but twice as many TDs as Walker (six to three).
Kenneth Walker‘s EPX Rating
So, why hold? I think this duo splits up in the offseason. Walker will be a free agent and just turned 25 in October. The talent is there, so I believe he’ll be highly sought after by teams looking for an explosive home run hitter in the backfield. That would leave Charbonnet as the lead dog in Seattle, where he can finally take over the 1A role going forward.
Unless someone with conviction in either guy blows you away with an offer, it’s best to hold tight. You aren’t likely to get full value right now. Walker hasn’t hit double-digit PPR points or found the end zone since Week 4, so his value is depressed. On the other hand, Charbonnet has been a boom-or-bust flex play with poor efficiency. He’s not going to net you much in a deal right now, either.
Finish out the season by playing these guys in favorable matchups and hope they go their separate ways in 2026. It’s a messy relationship with these two right now, but one you should ride out.
