Most Added Players In Dynasty Fantasy Football: Treylon Burks, Cyrus Allen & More

One of the most useful resources available to dynasty fantasy football players who play on Sleeper is the Most Added/Dropped tab. It allows you to see what players are being, you guessed it, added and dropped most frequently. It helps pinpoint news to pay attention to and consider players for the end of your bench. Let's dive into the most added players over the last week and how you, as a dynasty fantasy football manager, should approach each of them.

Most Added Players In Sleeper Dynasty Fantasy Football Leagues

Treylon Burks | WR | Commanders

Remember when Treylon Burks was a thing? Good times.

The former 18th overall pick spent four years with the Titans and, across those four years, only totaled:

63 receptions
2 TDs

It got so bad that Tennessee straight up released him. Burks has since been picked up by the Commanders, who are, if nothing else, an intriguing landing spot for a still-only 26-year-old wideout looking to salvage what's left of his career.

Behind Terry McLaurin, it's pretty barren at the receiver position. Our projections feel similarly. We have McLaurin slotted for nearly 220 PPR points with rookie Antonio Williams coming in at the No. 2 spot with … 103 PPR points.

There's a steep drop-off there that Burks could help fill. It's possible that a change in scenery and a strong, young QB like Jayden Daniels can help unlock his potential. I'm not overly optimistic, but I don't mind stashing Burks simply based on the opportunity of his current offensive environment.

If you are in a deeper dynasty league and have some bench spots that you use to churn through waivers, Burks is certainly worth a grab as we get more intel throughout the rest of the offseason and into the preseason.

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 two 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 only topped 500 receiving yards once (503 in 2023) and only has seven 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 Johnson 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.

Seth McGowan | RB | Colts

Rookie RB Seth McGowan was a seventh-round pick by the Colts this last spring. He had an interesting path through college. He appeared in eight games for Oklahoma back in 2020 but, due to legal issues, didn't play FBS-level football until 2024. That season, he appeared in 12 games for New Mexico State before transferring and playing 11 games for Kentucky in 2025.

A 24-year-old rookie, McGowan checks in as the RB6 in our Rookie RB Model.

Despite his up-and-down collegiate campaign and late-Day 3 draft capital, McGowan suddenly finds himself in one of the most valuable handcuff positions in the entire league.

As it currently sits, McGowan is battling second-year player DJ Giddens for the RB2 role behind Jonathan Taylor. Last season, Taylor led all RBs in rushing attempts with 323. It's been reported that the Colts want to ease some of the load, but it's hard to take him off the field.

Our projections see it the same as I do. Check out this drop-off from Taylor down to both Giddens and McGowan.

Certainly, Taylor is the only option with standalone value. Even so, Taylor managers might want to ensure they have either Giddens or McGowan (perhaps both, for now) stashed on their taxi squad. RB handcuffs can be one of the trickier assets to identify, but if chosen correctly, they can immediately become league winners in every league format.

Cyrus Allen | WR | Chiefs

I'm gonna be honest, I don't see the upside here. Maybe it's because we've gotten back to our traditional roots of hyping up every player that gets drafted by the Chiefs because, "It's Andy Reid and Patrick Mahomes!"

I remember the Skyy Moore days. He scored a whole ONE touchdown across three seasons (36 games) during his time in Kansas City.

Cyrus Allen checks in at WR25 in our Rookie WR Model and landed with the Chiefs in Round 5 this past spring. He did score 13 TDs in his final collegiate season with Cincinnati last year, but he's competing for a depth role on this offense. In fact, our projections have him scoring a whopping 3.8 PPR this season.

If you have unlimited bench/taxi spots, you could justify stashing Allen. Otherwise, leave him on waivers and save that spot for someone with a greater opportunity to be productive both for their actual team and your dynasty fantasy football team.

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 consistently shows up in 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 and 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.
