“For all you #TeamNoDeadline leagues out there, here are the BEST and most cost effective Dynasty buys on your contending teams, with my own trades below backing this up: QBs » Jared Goff (26 1st in SuperFlex) » Aaron Rodgers (any 3rd) » Jacoby Brissett (any 3rd) Budget Buy: Gardner Minshew (any 4th) WRs » AJ Brown (26 1st, or young WR + 2nd) » Michael Wilson (any 2nd) » Courtland Sutton (any 2nd, or young WR) Budget Buy: Mike Evans (any 3rd + piece) RBs » Josh Jacobs (26 1st) » Chase Brown (26 1st) » Saquon Barkley (any 1st + 2nd) Budget Buy: Rico Dowdle (any 3rd + piece) TEs » Kyle Pitts (slightly less than a 1st) » Dallas Goedert (two 3rds) » Travis Kelce (future late 3rd) Budget Buy: Colby Parkinson (any 3rd) Each of these players has a good matchup in Week 16 and isn’t going to cost you multiple 1st round picks to buy (good luck trying to buy Bijan Robinson or Jahmyr Gibbs right now). Eliminated from the playoffs? Sell these guys but make sure the contending Owner pays up! My trades ⬇️🧵”

What Would Make This True
Take is TRUE if the majority of the named players (at least 8 of 13) provide positive fantasy point contributions in Week 16 (approximately Dec 21-22, 2024) for their respective managers, validating them as worthwhile trade acquisitions for contending teams. Take is FALSE if fewer than half the named players underperform or are unavailable due to injury/bench decisions, making the buy recommendations poor value in Week 16 specifically.

Verdict
MOSTLY RIGHTThe majority of the recommended players delivered solid Week 16 fantasy production: Jared Goff threw for 364 yards and 3 TDs, AJ Brown had 9 catches for 95 yards, Saquon Barkley rushed for 132 yards and a TD, Kyle Pitts caught 7 balls for 57 yards and a score, Dallas Goedert scored a TD, and Courtland Sutton was a WR1-range producer on the season. However, notable misses included Travis Kelce catching just 1 pass for 6 yards (a dud with Minshew at QB), Josh Jacobs totaling only 48 yards on 14 touches with limited snap share due to injury, Jacoby Brissett posting his lowest yardage total as a starter, and Rico Dowdle managing a modest 43 yards. The trade advice was generally sound for contenders targeting Week 16 upside, but roughly 3-4 of the 12 named players underperformed or were compromised by injury/QB situations that week.
