Dynasty Trade Value Chart: June

Long-term player values and dynasty trade targets

Dan Hindery's Dynasty Trade Value Chart: June Dan Hindery Published 06/03/2025

June is one of the slower months on the dynasty calendar, so it's a great time to step back and highlight some players who have upside that is not being fully factored into their dynasty valuations. These are players I believe are undervalued in both redraft and dynasty formats, either because:

1. They have role-based upside: their potential role is being underestimated. These are players who could end up with a bigger slice of the pie than expected.

2. They have team-based upside: the offense they're in might be more explosive than consensus assumes. These are players on teams where the total pie (fantasy production) could be bigger than most people realize.

Ideally, we want to target players who check both boxes. Players who could grow into bigger roles and are tied to ascending offenses.

Let's look at an example from this time last year. I wrote that if I could buy stock in any single player, it would be Chase Brown, who was going in the 12th to 15th round of dynasty startups. My interest in Brown came from both types of upside. First, I thought the Bengals offense had the potential to be one of the league's best, and the market wasn't fully valuing all the key pieces. That is team-based upside. Second, I believed Brown had a real chance to take the starting job from Zack Moss and become the go-to running back in Cincinnati. That is role-based upside, meaning Brown was more likely to command a larger share of the offensive production than the market expected.

Breaking upside into these two buckets helps me zero in on my favorite targets. Some players, like Brown last season, have both. Others fit more strongly into one category or the other. In this month's Dynasty Trade Value Chart article, we will go position-by-position, highlighting some of my favorite players to target in trades and startups this summer.

This is the one position where evaluating role and team-related factors doesn't fit quite as neatly into the pie analogy I use for other positions. Except for rare exceptions, one quarterback is going to account for all of a team's fantasy points at the position over a given time period. And most of the time, the quarterback is driving how big the team's offensive pie is in the first place.

That said, I still want to highlight my favorite dynasty targets at the position through the lens of role-based and team-based upside.

Role-based upside: Daniel Jones

According to the consensus values on KeepTradeCut.com, Daniel Jones is currently the QB34. He's being valued below multiple Day 3 rookies, such as Shedeur Sanders and Will Howard. This is the same range where guys like Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold ended up before finding second lives after falling out of favor with the teams that drafted them.

Why is Jones intriguing to me? I've slowly started to increase the odds in my mind that he ends up winning and holding onto the starting job for the Colts. When he was first signed, I saw him as a clear underdog to beat out Anthony Richardson. At the time, I would have pegged it at something like 3-to-1 against. Now, I view him as the favorite.

This shift comes from reading between the lines of OTA reports. I know it might sound odd, but coaching youth soccer for my kids' elementary school teams has actually given me a new perspective on coach speak. When a kid is struggling, I find myself focusing on progress when talking to parents. I say things like, "They've come a long way" or "You can really see the improvement."

That's what I hear in this recent quote from Colts head coach Shane Steichen about Richardson:

"I think every year the fundamentals and technique continue to get better, and obviously we're working through those. But I've seen strides in that area since this spring and into practice today."

To me, this sounds a lot like what Kyle Shanahan said about Trey Lance back in 2022 and 2023. Don't take comments praising progress at face value. Sometimes, these are the things you say when you want to say something nice but don't have any true positives to highlight. Indianapolis is one of the few wide-open quarterback competitions in the league, and my read is that the market has the wrong guy pegged as the favorite.

If Jones wins the job, this is probably the best setup he's ever had. The Colts have real weapons. If the offensive line can stay healthy, it could be a top 10 unit. Jonathan Taylor demands respect in the run game, and the pass-catching group of Tyler Warren, Josh Downs, Michael Pittman Jr, Alec Pierce, and Adonai Mitchell is better than average. We know Steichen isn't afraid to use his quarterback as a red zone runner, and playing indoors doesn't hurt either.

Jones is dirt cheap to acquire. He's a great target as a third quarterback on Superflex teams with only two clear starters. You can add him as a throw-in or send a future late-round pick. If he hits, you might end up with a surprise starter. At worst, he would be a bye-week fill-in who provides real value if he wins the starting job.

Team-Based Upside: Trevor Lawrence

Quarterbacks usually drive the offense, not the other way around. But there are exceptions. A strong supporting cast and a quarterback-friendly system can boost a player's value. Sam Darnold was a good example in 2024. He landed in a perfect environment, with two top wide receivers, a top-tier tight end, a strong offensive line, a dome, and a scheme tailored to his strengths.

That brings us to Trevor Lawrence.

Could he follow a similar path to what we saw with Darnold and Baker Mayfield? While Lawrence hasn't fallen as far as Mayfield once did, his dynasty stock has been slowly trending downward for a few years. That could change in 2025. Mayfield was already showing signs of life before Liam Coen arrived as offensive coordinator in Tampa, but it was under Coen that Mayfield exploded into a top-five fantasy quarterback. Now, Coen is the head coach and offensive architect in Jacksonville. Since arriving, he's made it clear that his goal is to create an explosive offense that scores touchdowns.

If Travis Hunter is who people think he is, and Brian Thomas Jr. builds on an impressive rookie year, the Jaguars could challenge Cincinnati and Philadelphia for the best wide receiver duo in the league. Nothing is guaranteed, but the upside is real. If Thomas becomes one of the league's most dangerous receivers and Hunter lives up to his billing as a top-five NFL Draft pick at wide receiver, Lawrence will have elite weapons at his disposal. Combine that with Coen's system, and we could see Lawrence take a big leap into the top 10 at the position.
