Welcome to the Dynasty Trading Post, where we examine optimizing strategy, roster construction, format, and player value oscillations every week with real-world completed dynasty trades.
This week, we will look at opportunities in the marketplace at the injury-riddled quarterback position.
All trades are Superflex unless stated otherwise.
QB Jayden Daniels, Commanders
Another elbow injury for Jayden Daniels, and the talented quarterback is back on the shelf and a distressed asset in dynasty. With Caleb Williams' injury being projected as a short absence after initial dread, Daniels is the most prominent buy exploration at the position this week.
Instructive Dynasty Trades
- Daniels for Jared Goff, Michael Wilson
- Daniels for CJ Stroud, Matthew Golden
- Daniels, Omarion Hampton for Joe Burrow, Bucky Irving
- Daniels, Emmett Johnson for Trevor Lawrence
- Daniels, 28 3rd for Tyler Shough, Darren Waller, 27 2nd (1.75 PPR for TE)
- Daniels for Bryce Young, Rome Odunze
Offering a healthy quarterback in return for Daniels is the easiest trade construction. Short-term sacrifice for long-term gain and taking the macro view on player availability - often referenced by Adam Harstad's dynasty content at Footballguys over the years - is a method for building a dynasty super team. Daniels' upside and market value once he returns outweigh all of these packages spent this week.

QB Jaxson Dart, Giants
