The NFL Season is here, but we’ve been in it all year long. As Dynasty players, the season never really ends. But keeping up with the fluctuations week-to-week can help provide you with an advantage. That’s the point of the stock watch—to process what we see on the field and apply it to players whose value is rising and whose value is taking a hit. Those fluctuations can help guide your management decisions as you shape your Dynasty roster for the long haul. Week 11 of the season is in the books. Let’s look at what we learned. We’ll look at one player at QB, RB, WR, and TE whose value improved, and one whose value took a hit. Let’s dive in.
Quarterbacks
Stock Up: Bryce Young, Carolina Panthers
About: Young has been bad this season. We weren’t even in QB2 range going into Week 11. Worse yet, he seemed to be holding the team back. And it was a team that, at 5-5, was in the playoff race. Young changed that against the Falcons, going for 448 yards as his team came from behind to win and sweep the Falcons. It’s just one game, but it’s a sign of hope that Young and the Panthers’ passing offense might be figuring it out.
Stock Down: Michael Penix, Jr., Atlanta Falcons
About: Penix’s first year as a starter has been uneven at best. Now sitting at 3-7, the Falcons don’t seem likely to make a run in 2025. Worse yet, Penix left with a knee injury. We don’t yet know the severity, but a checkered injury history, including two ACL tears, was a concern for Penix coming into the NFL. It’s a concern for dynasty players, too. This season, and now this injury, could spell disappointment for those rostering Penix.
Running Backs
Stock Up: Sean Tucker, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
About: What’s the future of the backfield for the Buccaneers? They have three good backs this year with Tucker, Rachaad White, and Bucky Irving. Only Irving is under contract for 2026. Tucker made his case for the Buccaneers—or perhaps another team—with a huge day Sunday. He had 106 rush yards and two touchdowns, adding a passing touchdown as well. If you’ve stashed him, this could be a pivotal off-season to determine his future value. He looks like he has feature back potential. If he’s on your roster, you have to hope he gets a chance.
Stock Down: Nick Chubb, Houston Texans
About: We still don’t have Joe Mixon back, and it doesn’t look like he’s coming back in 2025. That provided an excellent chance for Chubb to be the lead back in Houston. But he hasn’t done much with it. Now, even in a paltry run game, he’s being surpassed by Woody Marks. With just 17 yards on three carries Sunday, Chubb doesn’t even look like a player who needs to be rostered.
Wide Receivers
Stock Up: Tyrell Shavers, Buffalo Bills
About: The Bills needed production at receiver on Sunday, and Shavers made the most of his opportunities. He saw five targets, catching four of them for 90 yards and a touchdown. He has some speed and looks like he has some upside, especially for a Bills team that needs more production at receiver. If he’s on your team, he’s got a great shot at increased targets.
Stock Down: Keon Coleman, Buffalo Bills
About: Some of those targets might come from Coleman. The second-year receiver had a huge Week 1, but he’s been wildly inconsistent. He has been called out for slacking on routes. This week, he missed a team meeting and was made a healthy scratch. Coleman isn’t delivering on his potential or opportunity. He’s no longer a good lineup option until he proves to fantasy players—and the Bills—that he can capitalize on opportunities.
Tight Ends
Stock Up: Darnell Washington, Pittsburgh Steelers
About: Washington is a giant. He’s tall and he’s big. When he was drafted, it was hard to see how he’d be deployed for the Steelers. This season, Arthur Smith has unlocked him. Washington has been a consistent weapon at tight end for a team that loves to use tight ends. He’s fast becoming the best player at the position for the Steelers. While the consistent volume isn’t there yet, if you’ve been stashing him, this is a promising sign for the future.
Stock Down: Luke Musgrave, Green Bay Packers
About: Once upon a time, Musgrave was taken before Tucker Kraft in the draft. Kraft surpassed him on the depth chart and became one of the best tight ends in the league. But with Kraft out for the year with a knee injury. But Musgrave hasn’t capitalized. On Sunday, he had just one reception for minus one yard. He isn’t a reliable receiving weapon, even with increased opportunity.
