Fantasy Football Players to Buy Low & Sell High
Week 2 Buy Low Trade Advice
Who is your favorite buy-low trade candidate heading into Week 2 and why? Also, who are you willing to give up for him?
Calvin Ridley (WR – TEN)
“A player I’m targeting heading into Week 2 is Calvin Ridley. The Broncos are one of the best defenses in the league, and Ridley dropped a couple of passes that could have made his day look much better on paper. I believe he has top-15 fantasy points per game upside this season. I’d be willing to offer Tank Bigsby, Isiah Pacheco or Terry McLaurin for him.”
– Nick Penticoff (Fantasy Football Astronauts)
Omarion Hampton (RB – LAC)
“Omarion Hampton is the clear No. 1 RB for the Chargers; he out-carried Najee Harris 15 to 1 and ran 25 routes to Harris’ six. However, Hampton did not have a great fantasy game, totaling just 7.1 half-PPR points. Per Fantasy Points Data, the Chargers were unexpectedly second in the NFL in pass rate over expectation (PROE) in Week 1, excluding Monday’s game. We may see a more pass-happy Chargers attack this year, but we should expect some regression. The coaching staff has a track record of wanting to run the ball, and selected Hampton in the first round for a reason. I would be willing to pay up to get Hampton — a running back getting workhorse volume in a strong offense is a great bet.”
– Charlie Sisian (The Fantasy DC)
“My buy-low player after Week 1 is Omarion Hampton. Najee Harris may have been on a snap count, but Hampton still recorded ~81% snap share with 15 rush attempts for 48 yards and had two receptions for 13 yards on two targets. While his 3.2 yards per attempt may not be very impressive, he still looked good and performed well in pass protection, which is going to be a plus in Jim Harbaugh’s book and will lead to more playing time in the end. Harris will get more playing time, but Hampton will shine through, and patience is key here. Use this to your advantage and try to acquire him now before it’s too late. I would be willing to trade away Kenneth Walker, James Conner, Austin Ekeler or Davante Adams to acquire Hampton.”

Week 2 Sell High Trade Advice
Who is your favorite sell-high candidate after Week 1 and why? Also, who would you try to get in return?
Baker Mayfield (QB – TB)
“My favorite sell-high candidate after Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season is Baker Mayfield. His strong Week 1 performance, likely boosted by a favorable matchup against a weak Atlanta defense, has inflated his value, but his inconsistency and tough upcoming schedule make him a prime sell-high target. Mayfield’s reliance on big plays and Tampa Bay’s run-heavy tendencies limit his weekly ceiling. I’d target a more consistent quarterback like Anthony Richardson or a high-upside RB1 like Breece Hall in a trade package. Capitalizing on Mayfield’s current hype could land you a cornerstone player for your roster.”
