Dynasty Fallout: Drake Maye's Stock, Kelce's Future, & Diggs Stays

The confetti has fallen in Santa Clara. For dynasty fanatics, the 2026 offseason officially starts now. Here are the three biggest storylines impacting trade values this morning.

1. The Drake Maye "Buy Window"

Recency bias is a powerful drug. Drake Maye looked pedestrian in the Super Bowl loss (29-13).

• The Narrative: "He can't win the big one," "He struggled against pressure."
• The Reality: He led a 4-13 team to the Super Bowl in one year.
• Action: Send offers today. If a manager is frustrated by the 13-point output, offer a veteran QB (like a Dak Prescott type) plus a late 2nd to upgrade to Maye's decade-long ceiling.

2. Travis Kelce: The End?

Rumors are swirling again that Travis Kelce is considering retirement after the Chiefs' season ended.

• Status: Unconfirmed, but "Considering" is the word from multiple insiders.
• Dynasty Strategy: SELL FOR ANY VALUE.
  • Do not wait for the official announcement. If you can get a 2027 2nd round pick, take it.
  • If he returns, he is a declining asset. If he retires, he is worth zero. The risk/reward ratio is fully tilted to "Sell."

3. Stefon Diggs: "I'm Not Done"

One piece of good news: Stefon Diggs explicitly stated post-game (via NFL Network) that he is not retiring.

• Dynasty Strategy: HOLD.
  • His trade value is near rock bottom due to age and the emergence of Dalton Kincaid/Keon Coleman in Buffalo.
  • However, as a contender, Diggs remains a viable WR3/Flex starter. Selling him for a 3rd round pick isn't worth it. Ride him until the wheels fall off.

Quick Hits

• Aaron Rodgers: Expected to play one more year (Jets/Vikings rumors?).
• Saquon Barkley: Impending free agent. His landing spot will shake up the RB1 landscape.
