9 Players to Sell High (2025 Fantasy Football)

Week 4 is here, and that means fantasy football managers are either riding high on early-season steals or staring at their roster like it just betrayed them in broad daylight. But don’t worry! Panic drops and overreactions from your league mates are your best friends right now. The Featured Pros have weighed in with their favorite Buy Low and Sell High candidates, helping you know when to swoop in like a savvy trader…or when to cash out before your “stud” turns back into a pumpkin.

Players to Sell High Week 4

Who is your favorite sell-high candidate after Week 3 and why? Also, who would you try to get in return?

Tre Tucker (WR – LV)

“While Tre Tucker’s recent performance was very impressive and finished week 3 as the overall WR1, it’s a classic sell-high opportunity. His Week 3 stat line was heavily padded by a few long gain plays, a splattering of touchdowns, and “garbage time” production – it’s not down to a sustainable increase in his role. Astute managers should capitalise on this one-off explosion and trade him for a more reliable, long-term asset, especially as his perceived value is the highest it’s likely to be all season, possibly ever.”
– Luke Renton (The Franchise Tag UK)

“Tre Tucker went off this week!! He had eight receptions for 145 yards and three touchdowns. The Raiders are not a consistent enough passing team to expect these numbers, even the receptions/yards, on a regular basis. He has what is called a career week and the time to sell. He could become a guy that Geno Smith relies on, but his value will never be this high again. Trade him now for a WR2 like Courtland Sutton, Deebo Samuel, or Chris Olave.”
– Adam Dove (The Fantasy Couriers)

“My favorite sell-high candidate right now is Tre Tucker. With Brock Bowers clearly not fully healthy, Tucker has been the primary beneficiary. I think he’s going to be very boom-or-bust this year, and since he’s currently the WR3 in FPPG, now is the perfect time to sell. I’d look to acquire someone like Rashee Rice or Jordan Addison in return.”
– Nick Penticoff (Fantasy Football Astronauts)

James Cook (RB – BUF)

“Selling high is always a risky proposition, but ultimately it depends on what you’re selling a player for that matters most. With that in mind, I’m probably selling James Cook if I can get a solid return for him. He’s finished as a top-5 RB in each of the first three weeks, but can that continue? I’d be fine sending Cook away for a package that includes a similar stud like Jonathan Taylor and Puka Nacua if I can get it, plus a bench piece. Perhaps you can target an injured player, such as Joe Burrow or Xavier Worthy, as a throw-in if you are winning and want to add more depth. I’m not selling Cook for pennies, but if you can get a good return, I say go for it.”
– Andrew Hall (FantasyPros)

J.K. Dobbins (RB – DEN)

“J.K. Dobbins has been a true workhorse in Denver, already piling up over 220 carries and scoring a touchdown in each of the first three games. He looks like the centerpiece of the offense, but his heavy workload, combined with his injury history, makes him a risky long-term hold. The Broncos also have RJ Harvey waiting in the wings, and there’s a real chance his role grows as the season progresses. Dobbins’ value is at its absolute peak, which makes this the right time to sell high. I’d package him with a depth piece for a proven WR1 like Davante Adams or a consistent bell-cow like Kyren Williams to secure a safer cornerstone for the rest of the season.”
– Lawrence Iacona (Gridiron Experts)

Trey Benson (RB – ARI)

“If you managed to win Trey Benson off the waiver, or were holding him, I would be moving him immediately. Benson is stepping into the lead role on the Cardinals after James Conner suffered a season-ending injury. For Benson truthers, this was the opportunity you were waiting for. Unfortunately, I believe we have seen enough from Benson to be skeptical. Even with all the work, it’s hard to see Benson being better than a low-end RB2 on this offense. If you can flip him (or him plus) for an underperforming player such as Brian Thomas Jr. or a trusted veteran like Alvin Kamara, I would sell.”
– Ellis Johnson (FantasyPros)

T.J. Hockenson (TE – MIN)

“The Minnesota Vikings blew out the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Yet, their offense was far from great, as their defense played a massive role in the team’s victory. T.J. Hockenson scored 15.9 PPR fantasy points, totaling five receptions on six targets for 49 receiving yards and a touchdown. However, his touchdown came late in the blowout. More importantly, the veteran tight end saw only one more target than Jalen Nailor. By comparison, Hockenson had four receptions on seven targets for 27 receiving yards, zero touchdowns, and 6.7 fantasy points over the first two weeks. Fantasy players need to sell high on the veteran while they can. The Bengals have an awful defense. Furthermore, J.J. McCarthy will be back under center soon, and Jordan Addison will make his season debut in Week 4. I would happily trade Hockenson for Juwan Johnson.”
– Mike Fanelli (FantasyPros)

Ashton Jeanty (RB – LV)

“Ashton Jeanty’s stock is crashing at a record rate. What was once a Late 1st Round/2nd Round value, you are now only getting pennies on the dollar. Take the pennies. Ashton Jeanty looks small and nowhere close to an RB who can dominate a game like Adrian Peterson. Trade Jeanty for any starting RB in the NFL that has the job to himself. The Raiders suck, and the faster you can jump off the Jeanty train, the happier your season will turn out.”
– Muntradamus (Beast Dome)

Brian Thomas Jr. (WR – JAC)

“This isn’t a ‘sell-high’ so much as a ‘sell now before the value falls even further.” I wanted to be patient with Brian Thomas Jr. for at least three weeks. It’s been three weeks. I’m very alarmed. Thomas and Jaguars QB Trevor Lawrence seemingly have zero chemistry. BTJ currently ranks third on his team in receiving yardage behind Brenton Strange and Dyami Brown. I’d happily trade Thomas for either Ashton Jeanty or Chase Brown — two RBs who probably have their investors feeling restless.”
– Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros)

Hunter Henry (TE – NE)

“Woof. That is a fairly accurate description of how most would feel about the Tight End position right now. It is brutal, and everyone is looking for that one guy that they can set and forget. After Week 3, some may believe Hunter Henry could be that guy. Henry dominated versus Pittsburgh, commanding 11 targets in the passing game for the Pats, with DeMario Douglas being the next closest with 5. However, this is after a 3-target showing against Miami in Week 2. We have seen this before with Henry, with one standout performance leading to a massive rush to pick him up off waivers, only for him to disappoint the following week. If Henry could be sold to buy a struggling rookie such as TreVeyon Henderson, or someone who hasn’t really popped like Chris Olave, that would be wise for fantasy managers to cash in on what could very well be Henry’s best game of the year once it is all said and done.”
– Ed Birdsall (Talking Points Sports)

Travis Etienne Jr. (RB – JAC)

“The Jacksonville Jaguars’ backfield usage trended toward a larger committee in Week 3: 54% snaps for Travis Etienne, LeQuint Allen at 30% (led all RBs in routes), and Bhayshul Tuten mixed in (17%) with a goal-line TD. Etienne logged zero catches for the first time this year (season-low two targets). The season-long surface efficiency (5.9 YPC, third) hides shaky down-to-down performance (7th-worst rushing success rate), with explosives masking inconsistency. A tougher defensive stretch looms – SF, KC, SEA, LAR – until the Week 8 bye week. Liam Coen has room to trim Etienne’s workload further as rookies Allen/Tuten earn more work. Sell High.”
