Dynasty Trading Post: Team Direction, Wide Receivers

Welcome to the dynasty trading post, where optimizing strategy, roster construction, format, and player value oscillations are examined weekly with examples and completed dynasty trades.

This week, we'll focus on the wide receiver position for contending and pretending (aka teams not contending) dynasty teams.

All trades are Superflex unless stated otherwise

Contending Teams

WR Tyreek Hill, Miami

Footballguy Jordan McNamara mentioned the quote "buying low should not feel comfortable" recently to me, and that absolutely applies to Tyreek Hill. Between Tua Tagovailoa's most recent concussion and Miami's offense falling off the map since, acquiring the 30-year-old Hill does not feel warm and cozy. This is the definition of a buy-low. Whether injury, poor play, or situation, something must stink attached to a player to truly buy low. Here we are with Hill. A reminder, Hill has been one of the most dominant receivers in the NFL ever - a career 2.57 yards per route option. The Miami situation has been so poor over the past month, the conversations have devolved to "Should I bench Tyreek Hill?" and plenty of trades being a fraction of his August price. A healthy Tagovailoa for even one game will whiplash Hill back to his elite ceiling and eliminate any trade possibilities for contending teams for a discounted price. This is a critical window to explore trading for Tyreek Hill.

• Hill, 2nd for Keon Coleman, 1st
• Hill for Tank Bigsby, Dontayvion Wicks 
• Hill for Jaxon Smith-Njigba, 2nd

The Bigsby trade is a perfect deal to sharpshoot Hill's upside for a contending team and capitalizing on Bigsby's recent rise in value. Be open to selling young wide receivers who are not overly production like Coleman and Smith-Njigba to supplement strong rosters with Hill.
