To cover every single position group before the 2026 NFL draft, we’ll be taking a look at three wide receivers to trade away in dynasty fantasy football. If you’ve missed any of the past articles, we’ve analyzed this same concept for running backs, tight ends, and quarterbacks.

Forbes3 Quarterbacks To Trade Away In Dynasty Fantasy FootballBy Steve Bradshaw
Now, one important note is that this article was created before the 2026 NFL draft. Some of these players will go up or down in value over the next few days, depending on how the draft impacts them.
With that being said, we’ll be using Keep Trade Cut as a reference point, from April 21st. As always, the goal is not to trade these players for anything you can get, but rather to move them while their value is near its peak.
That out of the way, here are three wide receivers you should look to trade for right now.
Starting off with George Pickens, this may be a player that many disagree with. This is the perfect example of a player you don’t want to just trade for whatever you can get.
There’s no denying George Pickens is a good player, and if your roster is a clear contender, it makes sense not to move him. This past year, Pickens had 17.2 PPG (PPR), and he’s just 25 years old.
On the other hand, this was the first time Pickens had over 13 PPG, and 2025 was his fourth year in the NFL. Now, to be fair this was the first year Pickens played in Dallas, so you can make that argument as to why the production wasn't there before.
I’m more willing to bet on Pickens scoring closer to 15 PPG in 2026, which would likely see his value dip. Keep in mind, CeeDee Lamb is still in this offense, and he has a large sample size of being a dominant fantasy option.
Lamb scored at least 17 PPG from 2022 to 2024, and he still had 14.3 PPG in 2025. Based on what we’ve seen in the past from Lamb, my thought is that if he gets closer to his 2024 or 2023 form, that will cause Pickens to see a slight dip in production.
Jordan Addison isn’t ranked nearly as high as Pickens, but I’m not sold on his 2026 outlook or long-term production. Addison can be a fine depth piece, but I’m expecting him to have more seasons close to 10-11 PPG.
In 2023 and 2024, Addison had 13 and 14.2 PPG, but those seasons were both heavily anchored by touchdowns. Unlike targets and receptions, touchdowns can fluctuate year to year
That’s a large reason why when Addison went from nine touchdowns in 2024 to three in 2025, his PPG also dropped from 14.2 to 9.7.
Between the questions the Minnesota Vikings have at quarterback and the lack of being able to be WR1 in this offense due to Justin Jefferson, now is a good time to trade Addison.
For part of this past year, Michael Wilson was absolutely dominant, scoring at least 19 points in five of his last eight games. Before week 11, Wilson never even crossed over 10 points in 2025.
While Wilson is clearly a good player, if you believe in Marvin Harrison Jr., it’s tough to be in on Wilson. Between Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride, I’m expecting Wilson to be the number three target in 2026.
Keep in mind that before 2025, Wilson never had over nine PPG in a season. There’s a chance that Wilson continues to be dominant and builds on his end of the year performance.
That said, there’s just too much risk for me not to trade away Wilson right now, given his current dynasty fantasy football value.
