Dynasty Football Big Board Week 4

Photo: USA Today Sports

The appeal of playing dynasty fantasy football is that you never stop building your rosters. There is always time to make moves to help build a contender or rebuild your struggling roster. Now that the 2023 class has come and gone, it's time to start looking ahead to the 2024 class. This season, we will provide fantasy managers with a top-36 big board that will be updated weekly to reflect the top 36 draft-eligible players in college football. The hope is that this big board will give you actual names and value to any draft picks you are trying to trade or acquire. I will also add dynasty content to this article, including players to pivot to or away from, dynasty stashes, dynasty trades, and much more.

Standout Performance

WR Troy Franklin (Jr - Oregon): 6-foot-3, 187 lbs

Franklin has been a personal favorite of mine for over three years, and it’s refreshing to see him playing so well this season. This week, he had a great game against Colorado, where he caught eight passes for 126 yards and two scores for Oregon. This season, the junior wide receiver has recorded 25 receptions for 418 yards and five touchdowns. He is on pace for a 1,000-yard season, making him only the sixth Duck to top that total since 2000. The Ducks haven’t featured a Pac-12 first-team receiver since Jeff Maehl in 2010, and it has been since 1998 that an Oregon receiver has been drafted higher than the third round. It looks like Franklin will do just that in the 2024 draft. As a receiver, he’s developed his hands and separation over the course of the last three seasons. He’s a burner on the outside and has the ability to break a game-changing play every time he touches the football. He’s developed great chemistry with quarterback Bo Nix and has become the Alpha in that wide receiver room.

Dynasty Pivot

Buy - Garrett Wilson (KTC Value - WR9) Age: 23.2

Wilson’s current dynasty value is as low as it has been since last season. With the injury to quarterback Aaron Rodgers, we have seen a massive shift in his dynasty value on the market, and this could be your opportunity. He is currently sitting at WR30 in total points and is averaging just seven targets and 50 yards per game. His ceiling for this season will remain capped as long as Zach Wilson is the Jets starting quarterback, and it could be an excellent opportunity for fantasy managers to target Wilson, especially if the Wilson manager is getting impatient with his lack of consistency. This is your chance to buy a top-5 player at his position for a discount/

Recent Trades:

• Garrett Wilson for Tee Higgins/2024 2nd
• Garrett Wilson/2024 1st for Jonathan Taylor/Austin Ekeler
• Garrett Wilson for Kenneth Walker
• Garrett Wilson for Chris Olave
• Garrett Wilson for A.J. Brown
