Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Drake London at a discount because your league-mates undervalue wide receiver production, do it. Chris Godwin Jr. is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Chris Godwin Jr. (age 30) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Drake London (age 24) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
