Here are 5 players I'm trying to to acquire BEFORE the NFL Draft in dynasty leagues. Who is missing?

The NFL Draft will certainly destroy the value of some players, mostly running backs. However, because dynasty leaguers are paranoid of the draft, there are a handful of players that it makes sense to acquire now before their respective teams potentially zig instead of zag in the NFL Draft, and then by mid-May these players have become rocket ships. 5. Devonta Smith Eliot Wolf is just the latest person tied to New England leaving the door open for A.J. Brown. I've been mystified by DeVonta Smith's static dynasty trade value given the likelihood that Brown is dealt. Now, enter Dontayvion Wicks. He provides some cover for Philadelphia to potentially wait on WR in the draft in spite of shipping Brown out of town. Imagine a world where the WR corps in Philadelphia Smith (Y)-Wicks (X)-Hollywood (Z). Smith's dynasty stock would absolutely surge in this scenario, and yet, this scenario is far from backed in at this point. 4. Rachaad White Jeremiyah Love now has just a 14% chance of going to Washington. Meanwhile, Rachaad White has a RB1 fantasy season on the back of a monster receiving season and he Achilles' heal (rushing efficiency) will benefit from taking snaps next to Jayden Daniels. White needs to be scooped in dynasty in the next 10 days. 3. Tre Harris Harris is not a popular breakout target, because the Chargers are linked to numerous rookie WRs at 22. The Chargers have several need areas on defense, and their receiving corps was bolstered by Gadsden's emergence in 2025. If Los Angles chooses any position other than receiver, a bet on Harris is essentially a bet on an alpha profile and against Quinten Johnston. I like that bet. 2. Malik Willis The Dolphins are openly playing for 2028 without the same QB urgency other teams are facing. Miami could wait until Round 5-7 to draft quarterback depth. Meanwhile, Miami is bringing in Makai Lemon for a Top-30 visit. Fantasy gamers will likely wake up from the draft looking at a 2-year dynasty window of massing rushing and passing upside for Willis. Buy now. 1. Emanuel Wilson We just have to fade a running back at 32, and suddenly, Wilson is looking at primary back duties for two months behind one of the best offensive lines in the sport. Even if Jadarian Price is picked, he does not have a 3-down profile. Wilson offers huge TD upside as key cog in a super-efficient offense with run-first tendencies.
