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 6 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: Joe Flacco, Cincinnati Bengals
About: Flacco is on his second team of the year. While he didn’t look great before finding the bench for the Browns, he is showing more with the Bengals. It doesn’t hurt that he has Ja’Marr Chase and Tee Higgins at receiver, but he’s slinging the ball. Flacco seems like a decent replacement for Joe Burrow, which could keep the Bengals hanging around in the AFC North. He also provides a boost to your fantasy lineup. For a quarterback-needy team, he could be a stopgap for 2025.
Stock Down: Tua Tagovailoa, Miami Dolphins
About: The Dolphins look lost, and so does Tua. I had him as a sit in Week 7 and he showed why. He threw a trio of interceptions as the Dolphins got blown out by the Cleveland Browns. He even ceded time to Quinn Ewers. With Mike McDaniel on the hot seat and the Dolphins fading from contention, he could end up finding himself on the bench for the Dolphins and your fantasy team.
Running Backs
Stock Up: D’Andre Swift, Chicago Bears
About: It wasn’t a pretty start for Swift, but he’s been picking it up of late. He has back-to-back 100-yard games, and he’s adding some action in the passing game, too. The Bears are 4-2, and Swift is a big part of it. He’s looking good in your fantasy lineup.
Stock Down: Alvin Kamara, New Orleans Saints
About: The Saints have struggled this season. The team is just 1-6, and while the passing game has been OK, the run game has taken a hit. Not only has Kamara been ceding carries to Kendre Miller, but he also hasn’t found much running room. In the past three games, he has 29 carries for just 76 yards. He’s adding some receptions, which helps in PPR, but if you’re a team that’s rebuilding, I’d try to flip him for some picks.
Wide Receivers
Stock Up: Travis Hunter, Jacksonville Jaguars
About: The Jaguars have been talking about getting the rookie going at receiver. So far, it hasn’t happened in the way we’d have hoped. While Sunday wasn’t a great game for the Jaguars, Hunter did get going. He caught eight passes for 101 yards and a touchdown. It’s a promising sign of increased focus on offense that could help get his season going and make him a better starting option.
Stock Down: Jakobi Myers, Las Vegas Raiders
About: Myers, the veteran, was a great option in fantasy and for the Raiders in 2024. In 2025, following a trade request that was denied, he’s disappeared. He was inactive on Sunday, but it hasn’t mattered much as he has just 29 receptions for 329 yards and no touchdowns in six games. He should be on your bench.
Tight Ends
Stock Up: Daniel Bellinger, New York Giants
About: The young tight end has been somewhat overlooked, but now that the Giants have stability at quarterback, he’s showing up. While I like Theo Johnson, it’s essential not to forget Bellinger. Against a tough Broncos’ defense, he caught three passes for 88 yards and the first touchdown of the game.
Stock Down: Will Dissly, Los Angeles Chargers
About: Dissly was the starting tight end for the Chargers. He had a few moments for fantasy in 2024, but never really developed into a solid target. Now, rookie Oronde Gadsen has taken off. Dissly isn’t worth a roster spot anymore.
