Week 1 Sell High

Who is your favorite sell-high candidate heading into the season and why? Also, who would you try to get in return?

Breece Hall (RB – NYJ) | Kenneth Walker III (RB – SEA)

“This is sort of an awkward question. These are players that I have listed in my busts article, so I wouldn’t have drafted them, but for the sake of argument, let’s talk about it. Hall is in an RB committee with Braelon Allen, and it sounds like Allen could get the short-yardage and, more importantly, the valuable goal-line carries. As for Walker, he’s been dealing with a foot injury for much of the offseason. In addition, the Seahawks’ offense has seen a lot of changes and not all of them for the better, imo. Both RBs seem like they could be at their high given the concerns I have. Ringo would try to trade each of them and possibly throw in another player if needed for Omarion Hampton, Jonathan Taylor, or a straight-up swap for Marvin Harrison Jr.”

Ladd McConkey (WR – LAC)

“Ladd McConkey is a terrific young receiver, but he might not get the target volume he needs to justify his low-end WR1 ADP. McConkey ranked 26th in targets last year. The Chargers have since spent a first-round pick on RB Omarion Hampton, which suggests they might run more, and signed WR Keenan Allen, who’s older now but still commanding targets at a high rate. If you have WR firepower to spare, it’s worth trying to flip Ladd for an elite TE like Brock Bowers or Trey McBride, or for a low-end RB1/high-end RB2 like Kyren Williams or the aforementioned Hampton.”
– Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros)

“My favorite sell-high candidate is Ladd McConkey. After an incredible season last year, the Los Angeles Chargers now have a legitimate run game and added Keenan Allen, who will certainly draw plenty of targets away from McConkey. In dynasty, I think you can flip him for an early first-round pick, while in redraft, you can probably trade him for some good depth pieces like a tandem of Kaleb Johnson and Zay Flowers.”

Tyreek Hill (WR – MIA)

“My favorite sell-high candidate is Tyreek Hill. The loss of Hill’s captaincy is notable considering what has transpired since the end of last season. I expect Hill to improve from 2024, but not back to his former top-12 self. For reference, I would trade Hill to acquire Garrett Wilson and D’Andre Swift. Wilson will have the lion’s share of whatever targets there are, and Swift, for now, is the starter in what has to be an improved offense.”
