Kyler Murray as a contender gamble

With the Super Bowl in the rearview mirror and free agency approaching, Rich Dotson, Matt O'Hara, and Garret Price break down the best dynasty buy targets at running back and quarterback. From injury comebacks to undervalued veterans, these offseason gambles could pay massive dividends for contenders and rebuilders alike.

Jonathon Brooks headlines the running back buys despite missing two full NFL seasons with ACL injuries. At RB52 overall, he represents a cheap lottery ticket with Carolina signaling he'll compete for the starting role. Head coach Dave Canales praised him as big, beautiful, and explosive with a real shot to win carries alongside Chuba Hubbard.

Sean Tucker offers similar upside as a free agent who flashed in Tampa Bay with eight touchdowns despite limited touches. At just 24 years old, he could land a backup role that turns into a league winner.

Quinshon Judkins dropped from RB12 to RB14 in ADP due to injury concerns, but all reports suggest he'll be ready for training camp. The addition of Todd Monken as Cleveland's offensive coordinator is huge, as Monken helped Nick Chubb achieve his best season in 2019.

Kyler Murray sits at QB30 despite multiple teams needing quarterback help. Whether he stays in Arizona with Michael LaFleur or lands with the Jets, Dolphins, Steelers, or Colts, his rushing ability gives him QB1 upside for contenders willing to gamble a late first round pick.

Mac Jones is the ultimate flip candidate at QB31. San Francisco doesn't want to trade him, but the right offer will change that. His eight game stretch as starter showed QB12 level production, and a Sam Darnold style reclamation project feels inevitable.

Jared Goff continues to be dynasty's most disrespected quarterback at QB16 despite four straight seasons finishing between QB6 and QB10. Even without Ben Johnson, he proved he's a set and forget starter who delivers consistent production.
