Footballguys staff got together to play a game of Buy, Hold, or Sell. They grouped and examined three similarly valued Dynasty players and placed them into each category.

The team looked at young wide receivers in Superflex Dynasty formats: Jordan Addison, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Jayden Reed.

• Buy: Jayden Reed
• Hold: Jaxon Smith-Njigba
• Sell: Jordan Addison

Putting it bluntly, I'm buying Jayden Reed everywhere, so he had to land in that slot for this group. He will be the most productive receiver in Green Bay, and we saw a top-10 upside for parts of last season. Holding Jaxon Smtih-Njigba makes the most sense. Everyone seems down on him, so there is no trade value, but he will be much better than we saw in 2023. That leaves Jordan Addison as the sell. He's a former first-round pick who scored ten touchdowns as a rookie. With the questions at quarterback in Minnesota, his value might be slightly down, but that's also an excellent reason to move him now, in case it's worse than we thought.

These second-year receivers have great futures, so selling one needs to be at a higher price than expected.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba should start eating into Tyler Lockett's playing time. Although some were disappointed in his rookie season, he showed room for improvement. He is easier to get a hold of at a cheaper price.

A rookie quarterback will exacerbate Jordan Addison's Justin Jefferson problem. The upside is limited—in the short term, anyway. Patience is required.

Jayden Reed has the easiest path to being a number-one receiver and can be talked about when trying to move him, especially if injuries beset Christian Watson. Green Bay has a deep roster of young targets, and I wonder if Reed will consistently perform well year to year.
