Dynasty Market Report — October 24, 2026

The Lede

J.J. McCarthy's 72.3% explosion to DME 1,804 in a single week is the headline, but the real story is what it signals for the broader QB market in Superflex: Minnesota has apparently handed McCarthy the keys with conviction, and the dynasty community is scrambling to price in a multi-year locked-in starter. Pair that with Travis Hunter's staggering +105.49% move to DME 1,496 and you have two of the most aggressive single-week revaluations DME has recorded in 2026 — both driven by opportunity crystallizing, not just hype.

Who's Rising

Travis Hunter at DME 1,496 is the most fascinating buy/hold question on the board — a +105% move screams "already priced in," but Hunter's dual-threat profile means the ceiling DME is still underweighting long-term. Hold aggressively; buying at this number requires a discount. McCarthy (DME 1,804) is a legitimate buy if you can get him for anything near last week's value — Superflex leagues will push him toward DME 2,200+ if he strings together three more competent starts. Isaiah Likely finally breaking out in Baltimore (DME 3,003, +25.65%) is the steadiest of the risers; with the TE position chronically thin, that number still has room.

Who's Falling

Cam Ward dropping to DME 2,332 (-15.75%) looks like a buy-low window if Tennessee's offensive infrastructure improves — the talent is real and the price is softening. Terry McLaurin at DME 1,137 (-25.59%) is a sharper concern: at 29 years old, any target-share erosion in Washington is a genuine red flag, not a dip to chase. Jake Ferguson (DME 1,157, -15.36%) is in a similar aging-curve danger zone; don't mistake a falling knife for a discount.

The Move

Sell Davante Adams (DME 1,547) today. A 24.61% collapse in seven days on a receiver his age is rarely a blip — it's a confirmation. Flip those shares into Isaiah Likely (DME 3,003), who just validated his target volume with a sustained role in Baltimore's offense and has TE1 upside in a position starved for reliable production.
