Yesterday, Footballguys staffers shared high-priced players to target in your dynasty leagues, and today, we continue the roundtable series by looking at lower-priced players. 

Today's question: Name a cheaper player you'd want to trade for in dynasty. What's a fair price for this player? 

Running Back Targets

RB Blake Corum, Los Angeles Rams  

Jeff Blaylock: Players who disappointed their dynasty managers last season are among the best candidates to buy low. Blake Corum epitomized disappointment for those managers who used a late first- or early second-round pick to select him in last year's rookie drafts. Corum converted 65 touches into 265 yards from scrimmage and failed to score any touchdowns while serving as the backup to bell-cow Kyren Williams. Corum's snap share exceeded 20 percent only once and fell below 10 percent seven times. To add injury to insult, Corum ended the year on injured reserve after fracturing his right forearm in the regular-season finale against Seattle. He dealt with several leg injuries in college, playing through some while missing games due to others. To date, he has bounced back effectively each time. Williams likely cannot continue to touch the ball 350 times and remain healthy, which opens up the playing time Corum's drafters expected him to receive last year. Our Dynasty Trade Value Chart equates Corum to tight ends such as  Cade Otton, Pat Freiermuth, and Isaiah Likely, all of whom I'd be willing to trade for Corum. Alternatively, I would consider sending a 2025 third-round rookie draft pick or a 2026 second-rounder if I project it would be 2.10 or later.

RB Will Shipley, Philadelphia Eagles

Corey Spala: If you are looking to buy an asset cheaply, you will need to focus on an aging asset with immediate production or a second-year player who did not live up to expectations during their rookie year. Jeff Blaylock noted Blake Corum, I will note Will Shipley; who had 34 opportunities (carries/targets) playing behind  Kenneth Gainwell. Notably, Shipley had a 57-yard run in the NFC Championship game. This set him up to convert his first career touchdown a couple of plays later.

He looks to compete for the Eagles' RB2 role, one for which Gainwell had 97 opportunities - combining to be 131 opportunities. Shipley is a capable receiving option, he will need to polish his skillset as a runner. You are looking to acquire Shipley for the potential of a spot-start game if Saquon Barkley misses time.

I would look to have Shipley as an add-on in a trade package. As far as draft pick compensation, I would want to give up a fourth-round pick. His value is low, given his rookie season and the recent signing of AJ Dillon. I would rather acquire Shipley in a package. I would like to have a roster spot available to acquire Shipley, with the understanding he would only play if Barkley misses time.
