Dynasty Market Report — August 2, 2026
The Lede
The WR market is on fire this week, but the story underneath the noise is opportunity cost: three wideouts with zero guaranteed targets just cracked four-figure DME on pure camp buzz. Deebo Samuel sitting at DME 1,418 as a free agent is the real headline — that number will either look brilliant or catastrophic within the next two weeks depending on where he lands.
Who's Rising
Cyrus Allen's +90.41% pop to DME 1,350 in Kansas City is the most credible move on the board — Andy Reid manufacturing a new weapons isn't a mystery, it's a business model, and Allen is drawing the kind of camp attention that precedes legitimate target share. Tai Felton (DME 1,114, +83.22%) and Tutu Atwell (DME 1,235, +81.89%) are both compelling but carry more landing-spot risk — Felton's value is real if Minnesota commits to rebuilding through the passing game, while Atwell in Miami needs a coherent offensive identity before that number is trustworthy. Buy Allen with conviction, buy Felton and Atwell only if you're getting pre-camp pricing.
Who's Falling
The SF double-dip — Ricky Pearsall down -14.89% to DME 2,092 and Brandon Aiyuk sliding -7.06% to DME 1,276 — looks like internal competition bleeding both values simultaneously, which is a known dynamic in a crowded 49ers room. Pearsall at 2,092 is still rich enough that fading him makes sense; Aiyuk at 1,276, however, is quietly approaching buy-low territory if you believe his role stabilizes. Emmett Johnson's -5.57% drop to DME 1,662 in KC is worth watching — if Allen's rise is coming at Johnson's expense in the backfield pecking order, that's a real structural concern, not noise.
The Move
Sell Deebo Samuel at DME 1,418 today. That number is built entirely on signing speculation and residual name value — the moment he lands somewhere with a defined depth chart, either the ceiling collapses or the price spikes beyond what you could have sold for. Take the 1,418 now, rotate into Cyrus Allen at 1,350, and you're essentially swapping a depreciating veteran lottery ticket for a scheme-backed ascending target in the league's best offense.
