Players to Buy Low Week 4
Who is your favorite buy-low trade candidate heading into Week 4 and why? Also, who are you willing to give up for him?
Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – ARI)
“Yeah, I saw the drop that happened yesterday. Marvin Harrison Jr. should have caught it, and he even admitted he needs to play at a higher level. Ringo’s advice: don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater. Even Jerry Rice and Ja’Marr Chase had a case of the drops early in their careers, and both did pretty well. These guys aren’t robots; they’re human beings. We all make mistakes, and I think fantasy managers who sell Marvin now will be making a mistake. Marvin is pressing, but he’s still a very talented player who I think will come around. I mean, if he makes the catch, he might have gone for six, and we’re having a very different conversation today. I would trade Tee Higgins, Tetairoa McMillan, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, or Ladd McConkey for Marvin Harrison Jr.”
– Mark Ringo (Sleepers and Busts)
“Marvin Harrison Jr. is my favorite buy-low candidate because his target share and routes are elite, but the fantasy box scores have not matched yet. He has had a few quiet games where the Cardinals’ offense stalled, leaving managers disappointed. Still, everything in his profile points to a breakout with high snap counts, deep threat usage, and consistent red zone looks. I would try to put together a package deal of a strong RB2 or WR2 like Travis Etienne or Deebo Samuel, paired with Keenan Allen, whose production could taper off as the season wears on. Packaging a reliable veteran with a mid-tier starter might be just enough to land Harrison Jr. before his breakout and lock in a future WR1 at a discount.”

Chris Olave (WR – NO)
“Chris Olave is a prime buy-low candidate for managers right now. While his stat line of 165 yards and no touchdowns through three weeks makes for grim reading, it doesn’t tell the full story. He’s been an absolute target magnet, consistently drawing over 10 targets per game, and with Desmond Ridder throwing the ball a lot for the Saints, Olave has an impressive target share, which is just shy of 30%. The Saints’ offense has struggled as a whole, but that high volume and game scripts point towards a major uptick in production going forward. By trading for him now, you’re grabbing a player with a safe floor and a WR1 ceiling, once the touchdowns and big plays start to connect.”
– Luke Renton (The Franchise Tag UK)
Deebo Samuel Sr. (WR – SF)
“Deebo Samuel started the season strong with a touchdown and great usage in weeks 1 and 2. Without Jayden Daniels, he struggled with only 11 receiving yards and 18 rushing yards. Daniels is expected to return for Week 3, and with his return, Samuel’s return to being a viable fantasy asset will also be a certainty. You can give up a strong starting player like Tre Tucker, Elic Ayomanor, or DJ Moore to acquire Samuel, who will accrue points in the air and on the ground, especially with Austin Ekeler on IR.”
– Adam Dove (The Fantasy Couriers)
Drake London (WR – ATL) | Darnell Mooney (WR – ATL) | Kyle Pitts Sr. (TE – ATL)
“The Falcons catchers, Drake London, Darnell Mooney, and Kyle Pitts, are all worthy buy-lows. Last week was an anomaly, and Michael Penix Jr. should return to his gun-slinging ways. This week, they face a Commanders team that is stout against the run, but exploitable through the air. With London’s usage, he is bound for a big game. Darnell Mooney is also returning from injury and had 11 targets last week. Both of these players should see a value bump after Week 4. As for Pitts, believe it or not, he looks like he has taken a step forward and could be a weekly fantasy play. I would be happy moving a player like Tyreek Hill for London, Tyquan Thornton or Wandale Robinson for Mooney, and Travis Kelce for Pitts.”
– Ellis Johnson (FantasyPros)
“Drake London Fantasy Football owners are falling down as he has failed to reach the 60-yard mark in his first three games. It is a long season, and Penix loves Drake London as he has been his #1 guy from the second he took over for Kirk Cousins. Penix will force feed London throughout the season, move a hot Chargers WR in Keenan Allen or Quentin Johnston, plus a side piece, and you can steal a very clear WR1.”
– Muntradamus (Beast Dome)
Matthew Golden (WR – GB)
“Fantasy players have been frustrated with Matthew Golden. The former Texas star had only four targets and 5.1 PPR fantasy points over the first two weeks. However, better days are ahead for the rookie. Last week, he earned more work against the Cleveland Browns with Jayden Reed landing on injured reserve because of shoulder and foot injuries. While the Packers’ offense struggled in Week 3, Golden was Green Bay’s best weapon in the passing game, leading the team’s wide receivers in receptions (four), targets (four), receiving yards (52), and fantasy points (10.1). More importantly, he played the second-most snaps among the Packers’ wide receivers, behind Romeo Doubs. While everyone is focused on Micah Parsons facing his former team in Week 4, Golden will have a breakout performance against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday night. I would happily flip DJ Moore for the rookie and a bench player.”
– Mike Fanelli (FantasyPros)
Cam Skattebo (RB – NYG)
“Cam Skattebo wouldn’t seem to fit into the buy-low category, since there’s a lot of enthusiasm for him after his Week 3 breakout game against the Chiefs. I would contend there’s still not enough enthusiasm for Skattebo, and that we’ll be holding him in even higher regard in a few weeks. Skattebo looks like an instant star — a human wrecking ball with dual run-catch ability. He had 10-60-1 rushing against a tough Kansas City run defense in Week 3 and added 6-61-0 receiving on eight targets. I’d be willing to trade Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson and stream the QB position to get Skattebo. I’d also trade A.J. Brown or the injured CeeDee Lamb for Skattebo.”
– Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros)
Roschon Johnson (RB – CHI)
“Roschon Johnson is a player I’m really intrigued by in the Bears’ offense. The Bears’ running back room has been underwhelming to start the season, despite their offensive line boasting a top-15 run-blocking grade, per PFF. During his final collegiate season, Johnson recorded the highest elusive rating in his class at 198, compared to Bijan Robinson‘s 169.1. You may be able to pick up Johnson off waivers in most leagues; otherwise, you can likely trade a fringe roster player to get him.”
– Nick Penticoff (Fantasy Football Astronauts)
Tetairoa McMillan (WR – CAR)
“Tetairoa McMillan. The Panthers’ rookie WR is seeing alpha usage without the box-score pop yet: 34% target share (10 targets including penalties) with 90 air yards in Week 3; he’s 17th in air-yard share through three games and running well ahead of every other Carolina WR. Bryce Young keeps looking to T-Mac downfield and in the red zone, making him a prime TD-regression candidate with juicy matchups coming. Buy Low. Flip Keenan Allen off his hot TD streak.”
