Buy cheap from Jordan Addison

The fantasy football process looks (roughly) the same no matter what format you play: fantasy football waiver wire research on Tuesdays, trade considerations in the middle of the week, and lineup construction toward the end of the week.

Still, there are subtle nuances that fantasy football dynasty managers need to pay attention to in order to change their strategy. To help, I'll break down everything a Dynasty Fantasy Football manager needs to know to prepare for the week ahead.

Dynasty Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Target for Week 9

John Metchie/Xavier HutchinsonWR – Texans

The Texans are already operating without a starting lineup Nico Collins and it looks like they may have lost another starter this season. Stefon Diggs went down with a non-contact injury on Sunday and fantasy managers aren't optimistic about the upcoming news.

That works Tank Dell working with young WRs John Metchie And Xavier Hutchinson. It's actually impressive how deep this pass-catching room is.

On the surface, neither Metchie nor Hutchinson offer a lot of excitement. Yet they have worked behind Collins, Diggs, Dell and even others Robert Woods So it's not like they had a lot of opportunities this season.

What we are betting on here as dynasty managers is an increased level of opportunity in an associated offense CJ Stroud. Stroud burst onto the scene last season and showed the ability to elevate his offense.

Dynasty managers should look to add either Metchie or Hutchinson (or both) to the roster if they have the available roster space.

Trade goals for Dynasty Fantasy Football

Jordan AddisonWR – Vikings

Despite the Vikings' productive start to the season (5-2 through Week 8), it has been a disappointing season for Jordan Addison. He suffered an ankle injury before the season began and then injured his other ankle in Week 1.

He missed Weeks 2 and 3, but returned in Week 4 when he scored his only TD of the season.

That certainly helps explain his lack of overall production. Still, he saw his Route participation over 90% for three consecutive weeks The potential for future fantasy productions is therefore promising.

Addison is considered a good trade target in dynasty leagues. He's only 22 years old and last season as a rookie he surpassed 900 yards rushing and scored 10 touchdowns. We know the talent is there. Thanks to our help, he was also the best wideout in his class Rookie WR model.

At some point the Vikings will have to find ways to incorporate other weapons Justin Jefferson. Yes, he'll still get his, but on Thursday night the Rams did a good job taking away Jefferson in parts of the game. Addison needs to step up (and Sam Darnold must be willing to look in his direction).

Don't be afraid to send an early first-round pick to bring Addison into your dynasty leagues. Regardless of what the Vikings do at QB beyond this season, he is an elite talent with proven production and likely won't get much cheaper than he is now.

DJ MooreWR – Bears

Week 8 was certainly a week to remember DJ Moore and the rest of the Bears offense. What was billed as a high-profile duel between the two best drafted QBs in this class was a defensive slugfest for three quarters.

The Bears had a chance to win it by then Jayden Daniels threw a game-winning Hail Mary as time expired. Daniels is him.

Still, fantasy managers shouldn't worry about Moore. He is still the clear WR1 for this team and has double-digit PPR in five of seven games this season. What makes Moore an interesting trade candidate is the fact that he has now failed to exceed 10 PPR in consecutive games.

Isn't it fun how you can present data in different ways to make certain arguments?

With a bye in Week 7, Moore has essentially gone three full weeks without providing his manager with any fantasy value. Take advantage of this beforehand Caleb Williams and this offense gets back on track in the second half of the season.

Player trading in Dynasty Leagues

Adam TrautmanTE – Broncos

Knowing your own league is probably the most important strategic element in dynasty leagues. It's good to have a general sense of how different managers evaluate teams, positions and players so you can use this information to your advantage.

There's a good chance that someone in your dynasty league is what I refer to as “.”Box Score Scout“That means they skim ESPN or Sleeper and see which players received the most yards, TDs or fantasy points and then make evaluations from there.

Managers like this can be sold as high-performing fantasy players based on superficial statistics.

This week, Adam Trautman is this player. In his four-year career, he has never rushed for more than 45 goals, 30 balls or 270 yards. Oh, and his career high for TDs in a season is… three.

His performance in Week 8 is outstanding. He reached the 60-yard mark for the first time in his career Bo Nix continues his rise as the NFL's starting QB. While I don't mind the idea of ​​Nix continuing to elevate this offense, I'm selling a career-level game for a veteran TE in his fifth season.

Dynasty Fantasy Football Breakout Watch

Jalen McMillanWR – Buccaneers

The loss of Mike Evans (thigh) and Chris Godwin (Ankle) has suddenly opened the door for someone, anyone, to move up in Tampa Bay. It looks like someone might be a newbie Jalen McMillan.

With Godwin out for the season and Evans sidelined for a few more weeks, Baker Mayfield mainly addressed TE Cade Otton as his main goal. Still, McMillan has scored 15 goals in his last two games, despite turning that into 50 total receiving yards.

McMillan was drafted in Round 3 last spring and landed at No. 16 in our rankings Rookie WR model.

His options are increasing and the potential for a bigger fantasy performance is certainly on the horizon.
