Buying the Dip: Week 4 Buy-Low Windows and Traps with Mike Lindberg

Written By Jeff Blaylock

Which falling dynasty values are worth buying right now? A position-by-position buy-low check on Drake Maye, De’Von Achane, Marvin Harrison Jr., and more.

“You’re gonna be seeing those managers starting to put guys on the trade block”

Some value dips are steals. Others are traps.

We're three weeks in and some dynasty managers are down on stars they drafted like Drake Maye, De’Von Achane, and Marvin Harrison Jr. Grindberg (Mike Lindberg) from Fantasy Sports Advice Network joins Jeff to evaluate these falling stars through a buy-low lens, separating real windows of opportunity from traps across quarterback, running back, receiver, and tight end.

Key Takeaways

  • A veteran manager's "dip" isn't the same discount as a new dynasty player's. Read who you’re trading with before deciding on a price.

  • De'Von Achane's torn ACL opens a real buy-low window for non-contenders.

  • Marvin Harrison Jr. and Brian Thomas Jr. both look like change-of-scenery-or-bust cases right now.

  • Tucker Kraft is a buy while he's being doubted. Green Bay will get him more involved once he’s fully healthy.

  • The Chargers backfield and their crowded tight end room are both too muddled to pay up for anyone in either group right now.

  • George Pickens is a buy even in a timeshare with CeeDee Lamb. The spike weeks and his pending free agency both add value.
