The Biggest Risers and Fallers From NFL Week 16! Dynasty Fantasy Football Podcast - EP. 769

The Dynasty Nerds Dynasty Fantasy Football Podcast crew delivered their final weekly buy and sell recommendations of the season, identifying key players whose values have shifted heading into championship week and the offseason. Garret and Jagger broke down late season opportunities across multiple positions, offering insights on which players to target now before values shift again.

Kirk Cousins emerged as a surprising buy recommendation despite his benching in Atlanta. With numerous teams needing quarterbacks in 2026, including the Giants, Browns, Jets, and Saints, Cousins could land in a situation where he provides fantasy value similar to Joe Flacco. The hosts suggest acquiring him cheaply now and flipping him for a 2027 second or third round pick once desperation hits in Week 5.

Cam Ward also drew discussion as a soft buy, with improved play suggesting he may not be the bust many feared. While concerns remain about decision making, Ward is no longer drowning when things go wrong, making him worth a late first round pick.

Running back remains tricky with Josh Jacobs showing troubling signs of hitting the age cliff, while Omarion Hampton looks like the clear rookie running back one heading into next season.
