Winning the trade market is at least as important as nailing the draft. Aside from the waiver wire’s massive impact in the season’s first few weeks, trading is the best way to improve your squad quickly. Great buy-low moves can set you up for victory in the short term and down the stretch. Solid sell-high deals can get you big hauls for overachieving players who likely won’t sustain their production.
Here are all the players the experts are trading this week. And below we dive into a few notable selections. And be sure to check out our weekly trade value chart with updated values for all players.

Fantasy Football Trade Advice
Puka Nacua (WR – LAR)
“Do NOT trade away Puka Nacua because of Cooper Kupp. The superstar wide receiver is still at least two weeks away from returning. More importantly, Kupp might not return in Week 5 or at all this year. While it’s unlikely, the Rams could also consider trading away the superstar wide receiver. Therefore, fantasy players would be foolish not to explore the trade market. Nacua isn’t going to average 12.5 receptions per game the rest of the year, even if Kupp never returns. If you can flip the rookie for Stefon Diggs or CeeDee Lamb, that’s an immediate smash-accept offer.”
– Mike Fanelli (FantasyPros)
“Puka Nacua is my favorite sell-high candidate at this point in the season. Through two games, Nacua is on an incredible 17-game pace of 297 targets; this pace is unsustainable. Nacua is leading the league in targets this early in the season, and I do not see this continuing rest of the season, especially if Kupp returns sooner than later. Trading WR for WR can be done, but I would also look to pivot to look at a running back that has underperformed early in the season, such as Josh Jacobs, who has yet to have a weekly finish inside RB2 territory.”

D’Andre Swift (RB – PHI)
“D’Andre Swift looked absolutely electric last Thursday night against the Vikings, to the tune of 175 rushing yards and a TD. So Swift will be the guy for the Eagles moving forward, right? Well, Swift only had 1 rushing attempt in week 1, and he’s long had an injury history. The Eagles also have Kenneth Gainwell and Rashaad Penny vying for touches. So there’s too much risk here for my liking, and let another manager buy high. Players I would trade Swift for include Alexander Mattison, Josh Jacobs, and James Connor.”
– Neema Hodjat (Real GM)
“I’ll stick with the Eagles for this one. My goal for this week is to sell any and all shares of D’Andre Swift wherever I have him. There is simply no way that Swift will garner 31 touches again, and with the return of Kenny Gainwell, this could go back to being a mess for the Eagles. Not to mention, we have seen Swift have his durability issues in the past, and there is no way anyone can convince me that those days are behind him. I would be angling to trade Swift in some sort of package deal for the likes of Joe Mixon, Josh Jacobs, or even buying low on an injured Saquon Barkley.”
– Ed Birdsall (Talking Points Sports)
Rachaad White (RB – TB)
“My favorite sell-high is Rachaad White after his big Week 2 performance. He had one of his best games as a pro after showing inefficiency in most of his previous games, with 17 carries for 73 yards and a touchdown. However, he should return to his inefficient form in the coming weeks as he faces the Eagles and Saints over the next two weeks, both of which are dominant run defenses. I would be looking to try and get a higher upside RB that has had a slow start to the season, such as Breece Hall or Javonte Williams, or looking to get a solid WR2 in return for White.”
