In the world of dynasty fantasy football, timing can be everything - especially when it comes to making trades that could catapult a team into the top tiers. For owners who have Tyler Warren, Saquon Barkley, or Sam LaPorta on their roster, there are two potential swaps that could pay off in the long run.
First up is swapping Warren for Colston Loveland. Now 28 years old, Barkley's production has plateaued, and with him as the clear RB1 in an Eagles offense, there's limited upside to be had. On the other hand, Loveland has been on a tear since Week 9 of last season, scoring over 10 points per game six times and over 20 points three times. His efficiency and blocking skills make him the more attractive option.
Another key trade is swapping Barkley for Kyren Williams. As the RB1 in an Eagles offense with 280 carries to his name, it's hard to see Barkley's value increasing from here. In contrast, Williams only has Jalen Hurts as a major competitor for carries, and his efficiency is on the rise from 4.1 yards per carry to 4.8 YPC this year.
Lastly, owners with Sam LaPorta may want to consider trading him in for Kyle Pitts. After years of underwhelming production, LaPorta only managed to score over 12 points per game once last season, and he'll be stuck behind Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams on the depth chart for years to come. Meanwhile, Pitts had a breakout season this year, scoring 12.4 PPG and setting himself up for even greater success in the future.
These trades may seem like long shots now, but as the NFL landscape continues to shift, it's worth considering the upside these players could bring to a fantasy team.
