Sam Darnold

This is one that sneaks under the radar, but in deep dynasty formats Sam Darnold should still be rostered. If he is rostered, that is because that manager knows he's still young and could still get another shot.

The Denver Broncos, for instance, are a team that could be looking for a bridge quarterback to potentially help the team get a drafted quarterback ready to be the starter.

Darnold, once taken with the No. 3 overall pick in the draft, will only be 27 years old in June and is coming out of being with a successful organization in San Francisco. Ahead of Super Bowl LVIII, 49ers quarterbacks coach Brian Griese had high praise for him.

If Darnold gets another chance as a starter, you could have a valuable piece on your hands, particularly in deep leagues. Many times, a team will be quite desperate for a quarterback at some point in the season, whether it be in 1 QB or Superflex formats, and you could fetch a nice return for a guy you were doing absolutely nothing with.

These are the kinds of moves that teams can win a dynasty championship with if handled properly.
