Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) missed the second half of the 2025 season due to a herniated disc, giving managers a prime opportunity to buy low in dynasty leagues this offseason. The 25-year-old was averaging 11.8 fantasy points per game when healthy, contributing 40 catches for 489 yards and three touchdowns through nine weeks. He has finished each of his three NFL seasons with at least 10.9 fantasy points per game, offering consistency as a mid-range TE1 in fantasy football. However, LaPorta's back injury has skewed his price tag in dynasty leagues, where he's being priced as more of a low-end TE1 in trade talks. For tight end-needy dynasty managers, this is the perfect opportunity to buy low on LaPorta and get a weekly contributor. Not only has he been productive in the past, but he'll continue to operate in a Lions offense that should be good for a long time. Jared Goff has shown that he can support big fantasy outputs from Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jameson Williams, and LaPorta all at once. The Iowa product remains a productive weapon in a successful offense. He's one of the most intriguing buy-low options at the tight end position in dynasty leagues this offseason.

Chicago Bears running back D'Andre Swift enjoyed a productive 2025 season, amassing 1,087 rushing yards, 299 receiving yards, and 10 total touchdowns. He ranked as the overall RB15 in PPR leagues, tying his previous career-best fantasy finish. The 27-year-old's breakout campaign coincided with the arrival of head coach Ben Johnson, whose leadership helped take the Bears' offense to the next level. While we remain encouraged by the state of Chicago's backfield under Johnson going forward, it could still be a good time to sell high on Swift in dynasty leagues. Swift is heading into a contract year, and the emergence of Kyle Monangai could lead to a shift in the backfield dynamic. Monangai had 947 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns last year, suggesting he may be the running back of the future in Chicago. We saw Monangai eat into Swift's workload as the season went on, and we wouldn't be shocked if the Rutgers product takes over as the primary ball-carrier in 2026. Swift will still have a role, but managers should consider selling high this offseason while he's still priced as a mid-range RB2. They might not have that same luxury next offseason.

Notre Dame running back Jadarian Price is squarely in the conversation to be the second running back selected in the 2026 NFL Draft despite never handling more than 10 offensive touches per game in any of his three collegiate seasons. Sharing a backfield with one of the best offensive players in this year's draft class, Jeremiyah Love, Price saw his career production nearly doubled by the presumed early first-round pick, but he was still productive on his limited workload. Price averaged more than six yards per carry in his collegiate career and reached double-digit touchdowns in 2025. As one of the best kick returners in the country, he displayed excellent vision and the ability to slash through shifting lanes without gearing down, traits that should translate in a larger role out of the backfield. Price has good size and runs low and behind his pads, and with the right landing spot, he could emerge from a lackluster running back class as Love's largest threat to finish the year as the rookie RB1.

Louisville wide receiver prospect Chris Bell will be one of the riskiest selections in the NFL Draft and dynasty rookie drafts alike. For much of his senior season, early draft analysis had him ranked right alongside what has now become the Big Three of receiver prospects in Carnell Tate, Makai Lemon, and Jordyn Tyson as a potential first-round pick. An ACL tear in his final game of the season all but shattered that possibility, and he now profiles as more of a mid-to-late Day 2 pick who may require what amounts to a redshirt season as a rookie. While Bell's production doesn't stack up to the receivers at the top of the class, his pre-injury athletic profile was what made him stand out. At 6'2" and 222 pounds, he hit an in-game speed of 22 MPH, allowing him to win after the catch with both physicality and acceleration. How the injury will impact him in the all-important early stages of his professional career is yet to be seen, but if he can return to anything resembling his senior year form without falling too far behind the NFL pace, he could become a steal for whoever is willing to make the gamble.
