Dynasty Fantasy Football Buy/Sells for Week 4: What to Do with Tucker Kraft's Slow Start

Chaos. Pain. Opportunity.

Those are the three words I’m choosing to describe the first three weeks of the 2026 fantasy football season. An honorable mention would be “AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH.”

But, hey, if this game were easy, then everybody could be a champion. So let’s juke past all of the bad news and get right to stiff-arming our competition’s faces into the gosh-dang dirt.

Here are a few trades you should consider making in your dynasty league…

Buys & Sells For Dynasty Fantasy Football Week 4

BUY: Tucker Kraft | TE | GB

Great tight ends are worth holding onto through thick and thin. And, boy, does it ever look thin in Green Bay.

The Packers are passing on an absurd 73% of offensive plays, most in the league by a wide margin. Compare that to last year, when that number was at 52%, fifth-lowest of all teams. So why has Tucker Kraft looked so pedestrian? Well, it sure isn’t because of the fans booing him at Lambeau Field…

It’s more likely that Kraft isn’t fully recovered from last season’s knee injury. Oh, and have you met the Packers o-line? It’s actually three kids in a trench coat. Jordan Love is getting chased out of his socks on nearly every play. Through three weeks, he’s being pressured at the second-highest rate in the league and blitzed more than any other quarterback.

Because of that, Kraft has been utilized much more as a blocker. Matt LaFleur confirmed that, due to the sudden lack of depth on the line, Kraft was nearly inserted as an emergency tackle. That’s how you wind up with a superstar tight end playing 98.3% of offensive snaps in a game while seeing just three targets.

The offense will get better. Eventually. Green Bay just brought in a truckload of veteran linemen. And I refuse to believe Kraft’s talent and versatility have completely evaporated. This is the same guy who ranked first among all tight ends in broken tackles and yards after catch just last year.

Now is the time to grab hold of the Kraft train before it goes crashing through opposing defenses once again.

SELL: Justin Herbert | QB | LAC

The results are in, and they don’t look good for Mike McDaniel. The former Dolphins head coach and playcalling “wunderkind” was supposed to reinvigorate a lost Chargers offense. Instead, he’s sent them further into the darkness without a map or any provisions. McDaniel has become a ghost story for Chargers fans to tell their children, and Justin Herbert is getting straight-up Babadook’d in the process.

I know it’s a small sample size. I know the offensive line has been dealt some awful blows (as per tradition). But Herbert is currently sitting at career-low marks in completion percentage, passer rating, adjusted yards per attempt and on-target throws.

The Chargers defense gifted McDaniel and company FIVE turnovers against the Bills, and the offense turned that into just ONE touchdown.

The boat (which is made out of negative aDOT “passes” to Keaton Mitchell and an unflinching dedication to Quentin Johnston) is taking on water, and no one seems to have a bucket.

But it’s not ALL McDaniel’s fault. Herbert’s dynasty value has long hovered near the elite QBs, resting just under the likes of Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, despite a track record that suggests he belongs in the same tier as Dak Prescott. That’s not a knock on Prescott, either. We’re just long overdue in admitting Herbert is not the real-life or fantasy dynamo his believers want him to be. He’s…fine. Just fine.

There’s an opportunity to cash in on Herbert’s name value and the (likely misguided) belief that things will get better as McDaniel finds his feet.

SELL: Malik Nabers | WR | NYG

I hate to be this guy. I really do. But I’m getting Malik Nabers off my team, especially if I’m a contender.

I’ve seen arguments that Nabers is actually a perfect buy-low candidate. And while I understand the crux of these arguments (amazing rookie season, bad injury luck, value should rebound, etc.), I’m just not buying them. Let’s dissect each of those real quick:

He had an amazing rookie season. No doubt! That was a fun year! You know who had an even better rookie season? Brian Thomas. You want him on your team right now? One season does not make an elite dynasty receiver.

He’s had bad injury luck. And I hate that for him. I do. But we’ve seen injuries derail (or at least drastically delay) careers before. There’s no guarantee that Nabers gets back to being the same player he was pre-injuries. Speaking of which…

His value should rebound. Will it, though? Did we all forget that Justin Jefferson, who had a much longer track record as an elite receiver, had his dynasty value plummet after less than a season of playing with J.J. McCarthy?? Sure, Jefferson’s value has rebounded (somewhat), but Nabers has a whole lot more and won’t be given that leniency by the dynasty community.

Nabers is still widely considered a top-10 dynasty receiver, if not higher. It’s probably a good time to pivot off of him.
