Dynasty Fantasy Football Most-Added Players: Malik Davis, Colbie Young And More

Is there anything better than when a player falls into a greater role, and that player is sitting proudly on your dynasty squad? Maybe hitting the lottery, but not by much. Though first and most important is the actual acquisition of that player. Savvy fantasy managers have to look at depth charts and see who could be the "next man up" and fulfill that larger share of his team's offense.

Here are five of the players who have been getting added on several leagues in dynasty. After reading this, you'll be rushing to your league's waiver wire to see if they're available.

Most-Added Players in Dynasty Fantasy Football Leagues

Malik Davis | RB | Cowboys

The dynasty community has gotten pretty sharp over the years. It's getting more challenging to accurately set yourself apart from the masses, especially when you are trying to identify the next wave of sleepers, breakouts and busts. That's why it makes sense that Malik Davis is near the top of this column.

Every dynasty manager knows that if you have a top-end RB option on your roster, you better at least know who the backup is, even if you don't currently roster the secondary option. In Dallas, the incumbent is clearly Javonte Williams, who performed well in his first season with the Cowboys. He appeared in 16 games and tallied:

252 rushing attempts
1,201 rushing yards
13 total TDs

That type of production in what has historically been a top-end offense is why people are now flocking to Davis. Recent reports indicate that Davis looks to be the frontrunner for the RB2 position behind Williams, pacing ahead of both Jaydon Blue and Phil Mafah. Let's be clear, Davis holds zero value on his own. His dynasty value is tied to the health of Williams, but he certainly offers high-end handcuff appeal in dynasty leagues.

Colbie Young | WR | Bengals

The Bengals have been trying to find a viable WR3 option ever since they last had Tyler Boyd back in 2023. They spent a Round 3 pick on Jermaine Burton back in 2024, but he hasn't panned out. Now, Cincinnati is investing in the position again, this time snagging Colbie Young in Round 4.

While most teams would love having the tandem of Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins at the top of their depth chart, it is important to have at least a somewhat legitimate threat at the No. 3 position. So, is Young on track to fill that role? Dynasty managers certainly seem to think so over the last few weeks. Let's take a closer look.

Young spent two seasons at Miami (FL), where he appeared in 22 games. He then transferred to Georgia, where he played in just 13 games over two seasons. He finished his college career with just 116 receptions, 1,437 receiving yards and 13 TDs across 35 games.

Standing at 6-foot-5 and 218 pounds, Young boasts a 4.49 40 time (69th percentile) and a 113.2 speed score (95th percentile), so he does offer a nice blend of size and speed for Joe Burrow. Early reports out of minicamp are that Young has impressed and should have the opportunity to compete with Andrei Iosivas for the WR3 role.

Zavion Thomas | WR | Bears

The Chicago Bears are an interesting landing spot for a rookie wide receiver like Zavion Thomas. He was drafted with the 89th overall pick (Round 3), so Day 2 draft capital definitely matters and is something we need to take into consideration.

The Bears lost DJ Moore to the Bills and currently have Rome Odunze and Luther Burden as their top 2 wideouts, with Colston Loveland serving as another top option at the TE position. The WR3 role is currently wide open, so Thomas has an opportunity to slide into that role.

As for Thomas, across four seasons split evenly between Mississippi State and LSU, he topped 500 receiving yards only once (503 in 2023) and has only 7 career receiving TDs. He does have elite speed, as demonstrated by his 4.28 40 time (100th percentile) and 108.6 speed score (89th percentile).

We'll have to see how the Bears plan to deploy Thomas as an offensive weapon, but he has the tools for someone like Ben Johnson to get creative with. For now, I'm fine leaving Thomas on waivers, unless I have a super-deep bench or extra taxi squad slots. At best, Thomas will be the No. 4 option in the receiving game for the Bears.

Erick All | TE | Bengals

A pair of TEs sneak into the top 5 of most-added players in dynasty leagues. Going back to Cincinnati, Erick All hasn't appeared in a game since 2024, as a torn ACL kept him out all of last season. However, his recovery must be going well as dynasty managers are starting to scoop him up wherever they can.

Drafted out of Iowa back in 2024, All has just nine NFL games under his belt. To his credit, he has hauled in 20 of his 22 targets for 158 yards, but he's still waiting for his first TD reception. As it stands, Mike Gesicki is in front of him on the depth chart and our 2026 projections give the edge to Gesicki as well. However, dynasty managers are notorious for looking ahead and are already starting to give the edge to the younger All over now-30 Gesicki.

Even with all this positive momentum, I wouldn't be racing to stash All on my bench unless I had extra bench spots on a deep roster. The Bengals are going to run their offense through Burrow, Chase, Higgins and Chase Brown. Anything that's left over isn't going to be enough to be fantasy viable anyway, and we've already established that All isn't even the TE1 on his own team.

He's a name to keep in the back of your mind for future opportunities, but I would stay the course as it pertains to All at this time.

Matt Hibner | TE | Ravens

The Ravens traded up in Round 4 this spring to draft rookie TE Matt Hibner. That type of move early in Day 3 is worth noting, especially when you consider the broader context of Baltimore's roster.

Mark Andrews (he'll be 31 this fall) is now the elder statesman at the position and has started to struggle to produce like the once-elite player he was. The Ravens are clearly thinking about the future and made an aggressive move to draft Hibner.

A five-year college player, Hibner spent three seasons at Michigan before spending the last two at SMU. His final two seasons were easily his best as he compiled 55 receptions, 804 receiving yards and 8 TDs across 27 games.

Keeping things in perspective, we project almost nothing from Hibner this season. Even so, he's a name worth keeping an eye on as the season progresses. Depending on what happens with Andrews this season (and beyond), Hibner could suddenly find himself in an advantageous environment before too long.
