It’s the slow part of the dynasty season, and buy lows are a great way to add value to rosters. While rookie fever catches on, some of these players will be pushed even further down despite having roles or opportunities on their current teams. Let’s go bargain bin hunting, and find some dynasty buy lows before the draft hits.

Dynasty Buy Lows – Players Valued Outside the Top 200
Matthew Stafford, QB Los Angeles Rams
Death, taxes, and Matthew Stafford being undervalued in superflex leagues. Stafford has been a solid QB2 with top-twelve upside for years, and his contract extension keeps him in L.A. for at least another couple of years. While other managers chase the new shiny toys, Stafford is easy to acquire and can hold down that superflex spot for dynasty managers.

Hollywood Brown, WR Kansas City Chiefs
Brown quietly averaged over five targets per game in healthy games last year and seems to be the only Chiefs wide receiver without a red flag heading into 2025. It’s unlikely he will return to being a must-start option. But for leagues with tons of flex spots, Brown can be one of your dynasty buy lows.
Recommended offer: Late 2025 second or early 2025 third
Demario Douglas, WR New England Patriots
Another deep flex option, Douglas finished as a WR4 despite playing with a rookie quarterback and a putrid offensive environment. It’s likely the Patriots address their WR spot in the first round of the NFL draft, but Douglas has a role as their slot receiver. With late-round picks having an atrocious hit rate, Douglas is easy to acquire and can provide depth for a competing team.
Recommended offer: Mid-2025 third
Kenny Pickett, QB Cleveland Browns
This is only for superflex leagues. And hold your nose while you do it. But there’s a real chance he starts for the Browns in 2025 and can be an emergency third quarterback for teams that need one. No, Kenny Pickett is not going to be the truck that pulls a dynasty team to a championship. But he can fill in for bye weeks and injuries, and adding him as a speculative buy before the draft will keep his price nice and cheap.
Recommended offer: Any 2025 fourth, bump up to a late third if required
Audric Estime, RB Denver Broncos
How does a super young handcuff at a cheap price sound? The Denver Broncos will likely attack the running back position in the draft, but Estime should be the backup for whoever they add or can compete to be the starter. When looking for dynasty buy lows, easy additions like Estime can be flipped for more value later in the offseason.
