Dynasty Fantasy Football Trade Rater: Omarion Hampton Worth The Return?

Welcome back to Rate My Trade, the series where YOU submit your dynasty trades (or pending trade offers) and I run them through my “internal trade calculator.” Which is the same place I put tacos when I’m hungry.

If you’d like to have your trades reviewed, simply stop by our Community Discord channel and drop me a screenshot. Let’s get right into it …

Rating Dynasty Fantasy Football Trades for 2026

Trade #1: Hyped-Up RB vs Anxiety-Inducing WR (12-team Superflex, TE-Premium)

For analytical purposes, I love trades that follow the Thanos ethos: perfectly balanced on both sides. Let’s just go position by position and tally it all up at the end.

Michael Wilson vs Rome Odunze: Despite all the talk about his lumpy foot, I’d still rather have Odunze. If he can adjust to his “new normal,” I have more faith in him than in the wide receiver who only broke out in his third season due to absolutely PERFECT circumstances (injured Marvin Harrison Jr. + decimated backfield + decimated defense + a QB who was forced to throw 40 times per game).

Omarion Hampton vs Kyren Williams: I know expectations are very high for Hampton in the Mike McDaniel offense, but I’m more skeptical. Hampton is a much different type of running back than De'Von Achane or Raheem Mostert. I could see both of these RBs performing similarly for fantasy purposes the next couple of years, though you’re obviously getting younger with Hampton, so that’s still a win.

Eli Raridon vs Kenyon Sadiq: I’ve made no bones about the fact that I hate the Jets as a landing spot for someone as raw as Sadiq, but there’s really no competition between these two tight ends. I’ll take the upside shot on Sadiq 10 times out of 10.

Rating: 3 out of 10. I may not love the individual pieces you’re sending away, but I think you can get a bigger return.

Trade #2: 2027 1st-Round Pick vs WR Clinging to Elite Status (10-team Superflex)

It’s always tough to trade away a receiver who’s still ostensibly in his prime. Then again, maybe it’s my Romeo Doubs-colored glasses, but there are no guarantees that A.J. Brown gets a huge boost in production compared to his last couple of years in Philly or that he significantly outperforms Stefon Diggs’ brief tenure in New England.

In fact, our projections see Brown hitting the exact same number of receptions as Diggs managed in 2025, with a small increase in yards and touchdowns. Granted … those projections are also good enough for a Top-10 WR finish. Still, moving on from a 29-year-old receiver in exchange for a hyper-valued 2027 first-round pick before the bottom drops out isn’t the worst idea.

The submitter of this trade also said they’re a contending team “with too many WRs.” And while I’d argue it’s hard to have too many elite or near-elite WRs as a contender, a Top-10 rookie pick next year is a solid return for a guy who sounds like he may not be a lock for your lineup every week.

Isaac TeSlaa will probably never be a consistent fantasy asset, but the possibility of huge spike weeks makes him a reliable bet to retain his value.

Rating: 6 out of 10. This is a fair trade on paper. Let’s just hope you don’t end up needing Brown to put you over the edge for the championship.

Trade #3: Win-Now Pieces vs 2027 Rookie Picks (12-team Superflex)

Lots of future picks moving around in this group of trades! I’ve been seriously underrating Chase Brown for the last couple of years, but I’m ready to admit that I was wrong. Since the end of 2023, I’ve been waiting for Brown’s workload to get trimmed back, or for another running back to leapfrog him. And I’m probably going to be waiting quite a while longer.

Because although Brown’s not flashy, he’s a balanced running back with a workhorse role and his team clearly trusts him. He’s worth a mid-to-late first-round pick, which the submitter assured me is the range of this one.

Davante Adams, on the other hand, is less enticing. He’s at the tail end of his career and was ultra-reliant on touchdowns to produce fantasy points last year. 14 of his 60 catches were TDs! I guess it’s possible Matthew Stafford keeps force-feeding Adams in the red zone, but that’s a tough bet to make.

Rating: 5 out of 10. Since we’re assuming both picks will be late, it’s a reasonable price to pay as a contender.

Trade #4: 2027 1st vs Ascending QB (12-team Superflex)

More 2027 picks?? Damn. This group is all about next year’s rookie draft and I love it. Some additional context from the submitter of this trade: The move up from 1.11 to 1.09 was to ensure they got Ty Simpson in this year’s [SUPER LOUD BARFING NOISES]. Ugh. Sorry about that. It’s just that when I see that name sometimes I [BARFING NOISES INTENSIFY].

Dang it.

OK, let’s just ignore that part of the trade and focus on the Tyler Shough of it all. The price for pretty much ANY quality starting QB is going to be at least a first-round rookie pick. Granted, I have high hopes for Shough. I think he could be what people want Jaxson Dart to be (but with much better vibes). But like Dart, we have a very small sample size on which we’re basing our assumptions. The submitter also mentioned they still have two solid starting QBs, Brock Purdy and Jared Goff, so getting into the 2027 lottery is probably worth this move.

Rating: 6 out of 10. But a small part of me worries that this trade (and this rating) could age like milk.

Trade #5: Reliable QB vs Rising Star WR (8-team, Start 2 QBs + Superflex)

As the founding member of the Emeka Egbuka Fan Club, I simply cannot abide.

Yes, I understand that in this league you’re hypothetically starting three quarterbacks every week. But since this is an 8-team league, that puts the position on a similar footing to a 12-team Superflex league. In both instances, there are essentially 24 QBs starting on a given week.

But there is only one Egbuka, who has the talent and the opportunity to rise up like a JSN-shaped phoenix in fantasy football this year and many years beyond. Add in a Top-8 pick from the much-celebrated 2027 rookie class and this feels like highway robbery for your opposition.

But Courtland Sutton might be decent this year. And Jared Goff is good practically every year. So at least there’s that.

Rating: 1 out of 10. But a 10 out of 10 for the person getting the Egbuka side.
