Rookie drafts are slowing. Prospecting is wrapping. Non-Points Scoring season shifts to training camp news, depth chart analysis, and narrative street. With most player transaction movement complete, we have an opportunity to identify Dynasty Sleepers, players loaded with the potential to raise their value.

Our Dan Hindery has created the awesome Dynasty Trade Value Chart Plus. This tool is loaded with player values, a new trade calculator, and an easy-to-use trade database that provides real-world examples of completed Sleeper Dynasty trades. The tool can be customized to your league with an easy connection to Sleeper.

The positional rankings used in this piece came from Dan's value chart. They meant as an acknowledgment of how sharp Dan is relative to the market. Using that as a baseline forces an even sharper lens. You do not need me to tell you that Jonathon Brooks could rise in value if he becomes the Panthers' starting running back.

Wide Receiver Value Risers

Chris Godwin Jr., Tampa Bay (WR55)

Godwin was dominant as WR2 in 2024 prior to his serious leg injury. He returned in 2025, though it was a lost season as he got back up to speed, and he was still WR21 from Weeks 13 to 18. Entering 2026, he replaces Mike Evans as the longest-tenured Buccaneers receiver and Baker Mayfield’s top target. A screaming value. 

ACTION: Acquire if contending.

Xavier Worthy, Kansas City (WR45)

Worthy was a polarizing player entering 2025, off a WR33 rookie finish. He was injured immediately in the season opener and struggled to establish himself. As a result, he has been cast aside by many. Of course, Rashee Rice’s latest offseason adventure has thrown the receiver room into flux. While speculation lands on which recent Day 3 receiver could step into Rice’s role between Jalen Royals and Cyrus Allen, gun-shy managers have been hesitant to target the first-round pick who excelled as a focal point to close 2024. That is a mistake. Worthy is a rare chance to buy low on a player who has flashed and has a clear opportunity attached to an elite quarterback. 

ACTION: Aggressively explore trade prices in all formats.

Recent Completed Trades

Malik Washington, Miami (WR109)

Who led the 2025 Dolphins in targets? Jaylen Waddle (100). But who was second? Ok, De'Von Achane (85). But who was third? By a lot? Washington (65). Miami executed a complete overhaul of the receiver room, moving off Waddle and Tyreek Hill before signing Jalen Tolbert and Tutu Atwell, then drafting Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell, and Kevin Coleman Jr. Washington is the only holdover for new offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik. Slowik moved into that role after working as the Dolphins' passing game coordinator in 2025. Slowik was a heavy 11-personnel coach in his previous stint with Houston and Washington, and he profiles best as the primary slot receiver. He should be viewed as the favorite to lead in targets. 

ACTION: Add if available, throw into the back of trade packages.

Deeper Sleepers

A handful of receivers are sitting under the Dynasty radar, yet have opportunities to establish themselves in the regular rotation. 

Pat Bryant, Denver (WR72) - Denver is crowded. Waddle and Courtland Sutton are the established top options. Bryant sits with Troy Franklin and Marvin Mims Jr. in the supporting cast. Mims will be a free agent following 2026, while Sutton has an out in the extension that was signed, giving a glimmer of hope for Bryant. 

Kyle Williams, New England (WR86) - Really? A second-year receiver on a team that added Romeo Doubs and could trade for A.J. Brown before you read this, coming off a 209-yard rookie season? Williams is a dude. My friends at 32 Beat Writers have the quote from Mike Vrabel: "Kyle’s strength and his ability to manage as a speed player has improved, and he’s really talking to the strength coaches. You saw him really have some great flashes last year. The other thing that’s really critical with receivers is once they can know more than one position, it really opens up their opportunities in what they can do as opposed to just being a one-position player.” 

Keon Coleman, Buffalo (WR100) - As of this writing, the Bills have not given up on Coleman. New coach Joe Brady has continually stepped up in support of Coleman. The Bills' receiving corps needs his size. 

Ryan Flournoy, Dallas (WR106) - Flournoy emerged as the Cowboys' WR3 late in 2025. Tolbert left in the offseason, while the team signed Marquez Valdes-Scantling to compete with Jonathan Mingo and KaVontae Turpin for playing time behind the established starters.

Konata Mumpfield, LA Rams (WR118) - Mumpfield generated buzz as Davante Adams’ apprentice, with stories of the two bonding through the 2025 season. His versatility makes him the next receiver up if Adams or Puka Nacua misses time. 

Jahdae Walker, Chicago (Not Ranked) - Walker is competing with Kalif Raymond and rookie Zavion Thomas for the WR3 job. The Bears are expected to play more 12 personnel after drafting Sam Roush on Day 2.

Treylon Burks, Washington (Not Ranked) - Brandon Aiyuk may still end up in Washington as the WR2 opposite Terry McLaurin. If he does not, Burks will be in the hunt as a regular contributor.
