SELL NOW: Why TRADING Jonathan Taylor Could Be The Right Move In Your Dynasty Leagues!

In this episode of Locked On Dynasty Football, hosts Marcus Moser and Michael Fabiano dive into the hot topic of whether now is the time to trade Jonathan Taylor in dynasty leagues while his value remains high. Despite Taylor's elite production—362 fantasy points last season and top-tier rankings in touches, scrimmage yards, and touchdowns—the hosts debate the wisdom of trading him before his value declines further. Marcus argues that at 27, Taylor is approaching the age where running backs typically see a decline, and he’s willing to explore trades for high-upside prospects like Jeremiah Love or a package of high draft picks. However, he emphasizes that only a 'pirate’s booty' of assets—such as top-3 picks in 2026 and a future first—would justify the trade. The hosts review several real trades from Dynasty League Football, including offers involving A.J. Brown, CeeDee Lamb, and multiple draft picks, ultimately concluding that few deals offer enough value. The discussion then shifts to Deshaun Watson’s potential to start for the Browns in 2026, with Marcus expressing skepticism despite the team’s public optimism, citing Watson’s physical decline, injury history, and lack of popularity. He argues that while Watson may be the best quarterback in camp, the Browns are unlikely to start him due to fan backlash and poor long-term prospects. The episode closes with a deep dive into the 49ers’ backfield, where the hosts debate Christian McCaffrey’s workload and the lack of a reliable handcuff, with Jordan James and Najee Harris mentioned as possible options.
