The fantasy football process looks (roughly) the same, regardless of the format you play⎯fantasy football waiver wire research on Tuesdays, trade considerations throughout the middle of the week, and setting lineups toward the end of the week.

That said, there are subtle nuances that dynasty fantasy football managers have to pay attention to in order to alter their strategy. To assist, I'll be consolidating everything a Dynasty Fantasy Football manager needs to know to prepare for the week at hand.

Dynasty Fantasy Football Waiver Wire Target For Week 14

KaVontae Turpin, WR - Cowboys

I was a bit surprised to see that KaVontae Turpin was available in over 80% of dynasty leagues on Sleeper. I understand the Dallas Cowboys offense doesn't have much to offer outside of CeeDee Lamb, but a closer look at the numbers will highlight the fact that Turpin has some sneaky appeal in deeper formats.

Outside of his obvious value on special teams as a returner, he's getting looks as a receiver as well. He has 3 or more targets in eight games this season and has the speed to turn any deep crossing route into either a field-flipping play or a TD.

Sometimes, fantasy value can come about in the most unlikely places. Speedy weapons with roles on both special teams and in the passing game should be stashed on dynasty benches if you have the space.

Trade Targets for Dynasty Fantasy Football

Elijah Moore, WR - Browns

Don't look now but Elijah Moore is quietly averaging almost eight targets per game over his last five games. That's resulted in a 20% target share to go along with an 18% air yards share.

 

Those numbers don't mean that you should be immediately inserting him into your starting lineups each week but, for a player who once had a ton of hype coming into the league, it's been nice to see him slowly start to turn things around.

The Browns are back to running their offense through Nick Chubb and Jerry Jeudy is suddenly experiencing a mini-breakout campaign. Toss in the allure of Cedric Tillman and there might not be much for Moore to enjoy but we have to follow the data whenever we can.

It remains to be seen if Jameis Winston is the long-term answer at QB for this franchise but, regardless, Moore is only 24 years old and has flashed playmaking ability in the past. If he can continue to stick around and provide value, there's no reason a player this young shouldn't find his way onto your dynasty roster.

Jakobi Meyers, WR - Raiders

I've been beating the drum for Jakobi Meyers for several years now but the man never seems to get the respect he deserves from the fantasy community.

Sure, he didn't score a TD until his 39th professional game (in Year 3) but he's been quietly dependable ever since. Those should be coveted traits once you get towards the middle/back half of your roster.

This season, it's been no different. Despite the QB carousel, and even with the Davante Adams fiasco, Meyers has been more than solid⎯he's been great.

 

Even without including his 6-77-0 (15.7 PPR points) performance from this past weekend, he's been a fantasy star for most of the season. His route participation, target share, and air yards are all marks that reflect that of a true WR1. His Utilization Score during this timeframe (8.1) is incredibly encouraging as well.

Don't overthink it⎯Meyers will forever remain an undervalued and underappreciated fantasy asset. Get him on your team for the stretch run and beyond.

Player to Trade Away in Dynasty Leagues

Keenan Allen, WR - Bears

As much as it pains me to write this, I've been waiting for this moment all season. Keenan Allen has long been one of my favorite fantasy players – from shaking the "injury prone" label to going on an incredible seven-year run where he was one of the most dominant wideouts in the game – he was the perfect fantasy asset.

However, all good things must come to an end. Allen has provided the perfect window of opportunity to move off of him in dynasty formats.

 

When Allen landed with the Bears this offseason, he immediately fell into a category labeled "Sell High After a Few Good Games" (there's gotta be a better name for that).

My thought process went something like this: Allen was an aging veteran moving to a new team with a rookie QB (Caleb Williams) in a less-than-ideal offensive environment. That team (Bears) also has a rising star in DJ Moore and also spent a high draft pick on Rome Odunze. All things pointed to Allen fading as a dynasty asset.

Those trends were already starting last season. Over the last calendar year, his positional value fell by over 50 spots.

Now, on the heels of back-to-back 23-plus-point performances, it's time to flip him to a contender in your dynasty league. Teams are desperate enough to viable pieces to plug into their lineups and Allen just opened the perfect window to finally say goodbye.

Fantasy Football Breakout Watch Ahead Of Week 14

Jalen McMillan, WR - Buccaneers

It's the time of dynasty season when I start looking ahead to how various offensive environments will look next fall. Which players are under contract? Which players will be returning from injury? What about potential future draft picks?

All of these details can help paint a picture of what a team will look like in the season ahead. One such team that I'm curious to follow in the months ahead is the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Their pass-catching group could look different in a few short seasons. Mike Evans is an aging veteran and Chris Godwin has a full offseason of rehab ahead of him. That means the future fantasy wideouts you want are either Trey Palmer, Jalen McMillan, or maybe someone not currently on the roster.

For now, let's focus on McMillian.

Drafted in the third round, the rookie has had a quiet season. He's been buried behind Evans, Godwin, Cade Otton, and an effective platoon of RBs.

 

The route participation (69%) and air yards share (21%) have been fine but he's just not earning enough targets to be a viable fantasy asset yet. Looking ahead to next season, he could find himself thrust into a larger role if Father Time eventually catches up to Evans and/or if Godwin's rehab takes longer than expected.
