The NFL Draft is just a week away, which means that there’s one last chance to scoop in and acquire some players in a buy low window before their outlook gets a shake up.
Buy low windows for dynasty fantasy football are created when expectations are not met, so who are some of the top players that struggled in 2025 but could bounce back this upcoming season?
Let’s take a look at the top WRs I’m looking to trade for in dynasty right now.

The Top Wide Receivers To Trade For Now In Dynasty
Justin Jefferson (Minnesota Vikings)
It’s not often that a player that records a 30% team target share and has started his NFL career with six consecutive 1,000-yard seasons could be available in your dynasty league, but that’s where we’re at with Justin Jefferson.
Last year was brutal. While the star wideout did cross over 1,000 receiving yards, he recorded just two touchdowns all season long with the ineptitude at QB and was the WR39 on a points-per-game basis.
Looking ahead to this year, the QB situation in Minnesota is still tenuous. JJ McCarthy is going to be competing for the starting job, while Kyler Murray was brought in on a cheap deal.
Jefferson’s dynasty managers may not be over the moon about those two options, so there’s a window to swoop in and make them an offer that would pry one of the best wideouts in the game from their hands.
Murray’s been able to show that he can support top-tier fantasy WR production in the past. And Kevin O’Connell – the head coach in Minnesota – is one of the best offensive minds in the game.
I’m predicting that Murray comfortably wins the starting job and that Jefferson gets back to producing like a top 10 WR. If that means sending away someone like Tetaroia McMillan – plus a 1st this year – I’d make that move.

Emeka Egbuka (Tampa Bay Buccaneers)
Through the first five weeks of the 2025 NFL season, only Puka Nacua and Amon-Ra St. Brown were better fantasy football WRs than Emeka Egbuka. It looked like you had an absolute superstar on your hands if you had drafted him in your dynasty rookie draft.
And then from Weeks 6-17, 42 other players were better fantasy wideouts than the rookie.
There’s a lot to speculate on what could have been the cause for Egbuka’s sharp decline in production: a hamstring injury for Egbuka, offensive coordinator shortcomings, an injury to Baker Mayfield, etc.
Regardless, you don’t produce the way that Egbuka did at the beginning of the year without elite talent. And talent is what we always chase after in dynasty fantasy football.
With Mike Evans now out of the picture, this is Egbuka and Chris Godwin’s offense in Tampa Bay. Add in Zac Robinson as the new offensive coordinator and there’s a strong possibility that Egbuka gets back to producing like a top 12 option at the position sooner than later.
The second-year receiver’s outlook for 2026 – from a public standpoint – is laughable. He’s being ranked outside of the top 24 at the WR position in early redraft consensus rankings and people are scared to invest in him.
I’m being very aggressive in my leagues to go try to buy Egbuka before the cost rises too much a couple of games into the season.
Garrett Wilson (New York Jets)
Did you know that there was only one other WR in the NFL last season through the first six weeks that had a higher team target share percentage than Garrett Wilson?
The stud wideout averaged 34.1% of the targets for the New York Jets and turned that into WR7 fantasy production over that time frame.
Unfortunately, the talent for Wilson has never really been able to break through the poor QB play that he’s been subjected to over the first several years of his career or the dynamic WR could be the top option at the position for fantasy football!
At this point, Wilson’s dynasty managers are burned out on waiting for the true breakout to happen. And with Geno Smith this year, it could happen, but the general public isn’t betting on it.
Additionally now, after the NFL Draft, the Jets have added two first-round pass catchers in Kenyon Sadiq and Omar Cooper Jr.
We suddenly blinked and this offense has become super crowded with questionable QB play, but Wilson’s talent level is far above and beyond what these rookies can provide. And, if anything, it helps take away the defense’s attention from solely focusing on Wilson.
This may need to be the time where you scoop up Wilson for pennies on the dollar with the hope that the Jets finally get the QB position right in 2027 with their premium draft capital.
In the meantime, you’re at least going to get very solid volume. Just maybe not the elite upside.

Ladd McConkey (Los Angeles Chargers)
It seems as though the majority of fantasy football managers have forgotten that – in his rookie campaign – Ladd McConkey went for over 1,100 receiving yards and had 82 receptions!
A down year in 2025, with Greg Roman as his offensive coordinator, isn’t all that shocking in retrospect. But now, you have Mike McDaniel coming in as the offensive mind to help unlock this offense and take it to the next level.
With a player as talented as McConkey, who I had as a top-five WR in his draft class, I’m willing to send away someone like Rashee Rice for him to make sure that I get a piece of this explosive offense.
Luther Burden (Chicago Bears)
I’ve talked extensively about Luther Burden on my social media channels and here on the website. I think he’s primed for a massive breakout in 2026 as the primary receiving weapon in this Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams-led offense.
He has everything that dynasty managers should be betting on to help propel him to the top tier of dynasty rankings. Don’t forget that last season, only Puka Nacua and Jaxon Smith-Njigba had a higher yards per route run metric than Burden at the WR position.
#Bears WR Luther Burden finished the #NFL regular season with the highest yards per route mark (2.8) for any rookie in the @NextGenStats era (since 2016).

I’m willing to be a little bit extra aggressive to ensure that I get him on my roster before that breakout takes place.
He’s all the way up at WR17 right now in my dynasty rankings and the public perception surrounding him has not caught up yet to where it should be going into 2026.
Marvin Harrison Jr. (Arizona Cardinals)
Yeah, this one feels gross.
And it comes with the caveat that it all depends on the price tag to acquire him.
But WR talents like Marvin Harrison Jr. are simply not ever priced this way in the market. Ever.
Right now, in 2026 redraft consensus rankings, Harrison Jr. is being ranked as the WR33. And I get it.
But dynasty fantasy football is about the long game, not just the upcoming season. And there’s a strong possibility that there’s something about Arizona that hasn’t meshed well with Harrison Jr.’s game…or potentially the former coaching staff.
Now, you have a changing of the guard for this team and Mike LaFleur is the new offensive mind that could provide a spark for Marv’s ascension back up the dynasty rankings.
Or, it may take a couple of years for him to hit the free agent market and land elsewhere with a more stable QB situation. Either way, the expectations have not been met for Marv and if you can offer someone like Zay Flowers – who may get some significant target competition via this NFL Draft – for him right now, I’d consider it.
Wan’Dale Robinson (Tennessee Titans)
Did you know that over the past two seasons combined, Wan’Dale Robinson is top-five in terms of total targets?
Only Ja’Marr Chase, Amon-Ra St. Brown, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Justin Jefferson have had more passes thrown their way in the 2025 and 2026 NFL seasons, which was wild for me to find out in doing research for this article.
And those four other WRs are the top tier in dynasty rankings for many dynasty fantasy football experts.
Meanwhile, Robinson is currently ranked WR46 in consensus dynasty rankings.
Now, Robinson is reunited with Brian Daboll – the man who was the architect of feeding him the football – and has a very safe and secure role in this offense out of the slot.
Yes, the addition of Carnell Tate at No. 4 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft pours some cold water on the elite upside that could have been there, but it does also work to take some attention away from Robinson.
Additionally, they operate in two completely different areas of the field with Tate threatening vertically and Robinson working underneath.
He’s being ranked outside the top 40 when he could very well be top 15 in total targets in 2026.
Parker Washington (Jacksonville Jaguars)
According to NextGen Stats, Parker Washington totaled a team-high 23.7% of the Jaguars’ third-down targets this season while averaging 3.1 yards per route run on third down, the most among wide receivers with at least 75 routes run on third down ahead of Puka Nacua (3.0), DeVonta Smith (2.9) and Jaxon Smith-Njigba (2.7).
He was an absolute stud in the receiving game for the Jacksonville Jaguars this past year and there’s already talks of an incoming contract extension for the young slot receiver.
This offense truly unlocked with Washington and Jakobi Meyers seeing the field more and Trevor Lawrence clearly trusts Washington to be a reliable option on third downs and in the short passing game.
He could take a significant step forward this next season, but his ranking is being suppressed a bit by the uncertainty regarding Travis Hunter’s role.
Take that opportunity to go acquire a player that’s currently ranked WR49 in dynasty consensus rankings.
Jayden Reed (Green Bay Packers)
Let me say right off the bat that I know that there are limitations to Jayden Reed’s game.
He will never be a true alpha WR1 in a NFL offense that can command a ridiculous target share…or be someone that you can lock into your lineup week after week as a solid WR2.
But, the hate for him has maybe gone a bit too far.
We need to remember that before this past season where he only played in seven games due to injury, Reed put up over 1,500 total yards and 14 touchdowns in his first two seasons in the NFL.
He’s explosive as a route-runner, he’s dangerous with the ball in his hands, and he can be a steady and reliable option in the short passing game for this Packers offense.
Rolling into 2026, the Packers currently have Christian Watson – who has dealt with injuries his entire career – and an unknown in Matthew Golden as the other main target options on this WR depth chart.
Reed’s one injury away from being the WR1 for one of the more high-powered offenses in the entire league. And he’s currently being ranked behind players like Brandon Aiyuk, Quentin Johnston, and others, at WR55 in consensus rankings.
Even if he’s just a bench stash for you right now at that price tag, he’s worth acquiring to see how everything plays out as he bounces back from one down year due to injury.
