Knowing when to sell high in dynasty football can bring back tremendous value with a ton of assets. Which players do the fantasy community see selling high?
Sell high and don’t ever hesitate on doing so. There are a few ways people play dynasty football. Some like to go for it all with a lot of veteran players and some young guys here and there.
Then, there are those who like to build around the young talent the NFL has and also stack picks for upcoming rookie drafts.
When it comes to selling high, the roster needs to be looked at and the manager must realize when a player is at or close to their ceiling.
Here are some candidates, with one being a veteran and two being 23 and 22 years of age that can get a manager extremely great value depending on what the other team is building in terms of a “dynasty”.
Fantasy Football sell high candidate #1: CeeDee Lamb
Thinking of the Cowboys, the one thing that comes to mind is that Ceedee Lamb should be the focal point of the offense. Amari Cooper is 27 and will be 28 when the 2022 season starts. Michael Gallup is injured and also an upcoming free agent.
The combination of Ezekiel Elliott and Tony Pollard is great but something has to give. Zeke has not been the same for a while now but that is a conversation for another time.

With Lamb, he finished as the WR19 this season. An ADP of WR12, Lamb finished under his projection and fell from WR3 to WR4 in dynasty according to fantasypros.com
Depending on the roster Lamb is on, a first-round pick can easily be acquired plus more. In the eyes of the consensus, Lamb is the WR1 for the Cowboys.
FInishing “under” his projection and Lamb still posted a stat line of 79 receptions, 1102 yards, and six touchdowns.
Fantasy Football sell high candidate #2: Mike Evans
As stated, dynasty managers play dynasty in different ways. There are always managers who are playing to win each year. That means they are looking for the proven veterans around the league that can help them win now.
Mike Evans fits that description better than anyone. An NFL record of eight consecutive seasons over 1000 receiving yards. By the way, he catches touchdowns and a whole lot of them.
Since entering the NFL in 2014, Evans has had the most touchdowns by any receiver at 75. Having Tom Brady, who has superhuman abilities to stay young throw him throw the football, Evans isn’t going anywhere.
Yes, Mike Evans is 28 and will be 29 when the 2022 season starts, but he is one of the best sell high veterans in all of dynasty football.
In two seasons with Tom Brady, Evans has 27 touchdowns and with the release of Antonio Brown and Chris Godwin hurt and an upcoming free agent, Evans will continue producing at high levels next season.
Fantasy Football sell high candidate #3: Jonathan Taylor
The MVP of fantasy football in 2021. Jonathan Taylor destroyed seasons and won championships this season. Playing vs JT, good luck and having him? Congrats on the win.
Jonathan Taylor finished the season with 1811 rushing yards, 20 total touchdowns, and 40 receptions with 360 receiving yards.
This is what Jonathan Taylor was drafted by the Colts for. He is this workhorse just like Derrick Henry. Being 23 years old, the tough decision is up to the fantasy manager.
There is very much a possibility where Jonathan Taylor can get a backend RB1 plus picks and even a young WR. If the roster is not built to win right now, shipping away Jonathan Taylor is the best choice where both managers can win.
The one receiving JT is set to win at that moment and the one who parted ways with JT will be receiving numerous assets to build upon.
The Colts offensive line is set for the future. Even with questions surrounding Carson Wentz, one thing is set in stone and that is, Jonathan Taylor is the RB1 of dynasty and the single most valuable asset in dynasty football.
That being said, a trade where a 2022 first, 2023 first, plus a top 15 RB and top 10 WR is involved will have the trigger pulled for JT.
