It’s hard to believe but we’re already 15% through the fantasy season. It still may seem too early to start looking at possible trade partners but dynasty players. Let’s see which players should be moved.

SELL

Drew Brees – QB – New Orleans Saints – Even before Brees’ struggles this season, his dynasty value had declined. Between losing a key weapon this off-season and dealing with a bruised shoulder, Brees’ ranking as one of the best quarterbacks in fantasy leagues is slipping.

Since joining the Saints in 2006, Brees has been one of the more prominent quarterbacks in all of football. For most of that time, Brees was a top-five dynasty quarterback, peaking in 2011 with almost 5,500 passing yards and 46 touchdowns. But there is a definitive trend downward in Brees’ production heading into this season, most notably in touchdowns.
