Below is my 2025 Wide Receiver Dynasty Trade Value Chart, based on 12-team, Superflex, PPR/TE Premium settings. Use the buttons below to explore dynasty trade values at each position.
If you would like to a take a look at what my Trade Value Charts were as of last year at this time, the link can be found HERE. Last year I had Michael Pittman, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Tank Dell as buys while my only sell was Nico Collins.
JSN is the only one I’m proud of there, and I think he’s in for another huge season after breaking out. Pittman had a down season, partially due to some poor QB play and an injury he was dealing with. I actually think he’s in for a solid season if he gets some decent QB play out of Daniel Jones.
I believed in Tank Dell last year because he was producing just as much as Nico was, and he was cheaper. Now with the injury, that value has certainly fallen off a cliff. I just drafted him in the 24th round of a startup because why the heck not? Tank’s career has been unfortunate thus far. I won’t say I’m completely disappointed in my analysis of Tank, though, because when he plays, he produces! There have been a few significant and unfortunate injuries for him.
Some big fallers are Tyreek Hill and Michael Pittman, while some big risers are Brian Thomas Jr. and Ladd McConkey. Tyreek Hill had quite a few odd things go on last year, and I think that’s where a lot of the concerns are coming from. I think he still has a bit left in the tank, but nobody is likely going to want to take on that risk. Get whatever you can get at this point for Tyreek.
Pittman, I mentioned above. Hopefully he is all healthy now and is back to his true form. As for the QB play, I think Daniel Jones will actually be good for him (and Josh Downs, too). Pittman may turn out to be a buy at the deadline if he has a good start to the season.
Brian Thomas and Ladd McConkey are obvious risers; nothing is surprising here. Ladd will continue to be the dude in LA with Herbert. The addition of Tre Harris doesn’t concern me in the slightest. As for Thomas, I have two concerns going into 2025: 1) the addition of Travis Hunter and 2) Trevor Lawrence throwing him the ball. There are so many questions about Travis Hunter and only the Jaguars know how they plan to use him. I’m certainly excited to see them give DBs fits. As for the concern about Trevor Lawrence throwing him the ball, we will see. Thomas had a few good games with Lawrence at QB, but he was doing so on only a few targets each game. It wasn’t until Mac Jones came in and Thomas started seeing 10+ targets each week. Hopefully Lawrence knows he’s a dog and will keep the targets coming cause Thomas certainly made the most of it.
A have two big sells for the Wide Receiver position: Garrett Wilson and Terry McLaurin. The issue for me about Garrett Wilson is the variability. He had 100+ catches and 1100+ yards last year, not a bad season at all. But can Justin Fields provide the type of QB play Wilson needs to be successful? And further, if the Jets move on from Fields and go with a rookie QB after next year, are we just back in the same position? I understand not wanting to sell Garrett Wilson for a 1st+ because he is a high profile player, but I don’t hate getting that first and turning it into something else.
Terry, on the other hand, I feel like is an obvious sell. Last year he was phenomenal with competent QB finally, and it showed. He actually could have had a better season, there were just a few deep balls they just barely couldn’t connect on. However, it was a huge touchdown outlier season for him, meaning there has to be a regression to the mean coming. I love Terry and he’s a solid receiver. But there’s just a few concerns about him keeping up the production from last year, especially with the addition of Deebo.
A couple buys I’m targeting this year are Xavier Worthy, Jaylen Waddle, and Mike Evans. I’ll be honest, I’m not a huge fan of Xavier Worthy but I think the situation is a good bet. Rashee Rice has multiple concerns on and off the field entering 2025. We saw Worthy really come into his own last year toward the end of the season especially in the Super Bowl when the Eagles were stomping all over the Chiefs (Go Birds, btw). I like Worthy coming into 2025.
Waddle also seems like a solid buy for a few reasons. Tyreek Hill’s regression and Jonnu Smith’s departure. For some reason, the Dolphins ran everything through Jonnu Smith last year and now there is a significant target share up for grabs. I think a lot of them will go to Achane and Waddle this year. Waddle is still young and it feels like the market is somewhat down on him.
As for Mike Evans, he’s just incredibly consistent and reliable, even as he enters his age 32 season. I know in the QB section of this article I said Baker is a sell. However, Evans can still be a buy if Baker is a sell. Another reason I think Evans is a buy is because it feels like a lot of dynasty owners don’t want to be left holding onto an older player when they retire. For me, I’ll buy those guys when their value is so low and they are still contributing. It feels like Derrick Henry has been passed around leagues for years and look at him.
As for anything else on this chart, I will be on Reddit defending/discussing any questions or comments you have. So, if you disagree on anything, lets chat!
