As we inch toward the new season, the ever-changing NFL landscape has player fantasy values constantly on the move. Whether you’re used to the dynasty platform or are still learning the rules, let’s dive into the latest dynasty fantasy football value of D’Wayne Eskridge.
D’Wayne Eskridge’s Dynasty Outlook and Value
The Seahawks certainly march to the beat of their own drum when it comes to drafting players. They’ve made some baffling picks over the years. Eskridge is chief among them.
One of the most predictive measurements of NFL success is when wide receivers are early declares. Not only did Eskridge not declare early, but he played five years in college. And as if that wasn’t reason enough to completely avoid him, he didn’t break out until his super-senior season. Wow, I can’t believe a 24-year-old prospect was able to dominate a bunch of teenagers at a small school.
Eskridge should’ve been a late-Day 3 pick, at best. His NFL career thus far has only confirmed this fact.

The Seahawks lit a second-round pick on fire in 2021 by taking Eskridge. Rookie wide receivers are supposed to push past that 500-yard threshold. I’d be stunned if Eskridge had 500 receiving yards in his career.
Eskridge has only even made it on the field for 20 of a possible 34 games in his first two seasons. He’s totaled 17 receptions for 122 yards and a touchdown.
D’Wayne Eskridge’s Fantasy Ranking
I completely understand why Eskridge had to be drafted in 2021 rookie drafts. It doesn’t matter how bad a player’s prospect profile is — if he goes in the second round of the NFL draft, he needs to be on fantasy rosters. But after two seasons, Eskridge no longer needs to be on anyone’s roster.
Eskridge could not even beat out 32-year-old Marquise Goodwin for the WR3 role. Later in the season, he lost playing time to Laquon Treadwell. Eskridge is probably floating around on a bunch of dynasty rosters, and if he’s on yours, you can drop him.
We have Eskridge at WR137 (No. 346) in our dynasty Superflex rankings. Even in the deepest dynasty league you know, that’s still not high enough to be rostered. He should go undrafted in every dynasty startup draft.
