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?
D’Andre Swift (RB – CHI)
“I’m going to keep beating the drum for D’Andre Swift even after his less-than-stellar performance in Week 1. He only averaged 3.1 yards per carry, but he recorded 17 carries, which was the 11th-highest mark of the week. Sure, his 53 yards weren’t great, but the Minnesota defense is notorious for being stout against the run. I’m choosing to focus on the workload, which is usually more predictive than any other stat. Clearly, Ben Johnson had plans to use him frequently. Maybe this is the week to send a breakout receiver from your bench for Swift if you want to add some running back depth.”

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?
Marvin Harrison Jr. (WR – ARI)
“I’m looking to sell high on Marvin Harrison Jr. if I can get a solid WR2 in return. He only saw six targets with a 22% first-read target rate. For him to maintain value, he’ll need to make up for the lack of volume with touchdowns like he did in Week 1, but that’s going to be tough to sustain. See if you can flip him for Garrett Wilson or maybe package him with someone for a WR1 like Malik Nabers, Brian Thomas Jr. or Nico Collins.”

Travis Etienne Jr. (RB – JAC)
“It will depend on who’s willing to buy, but Travis Etienne has all the hallmarks of a good sell-high player. He just played a super soft defense, a talented rookie is waiting in the wings and his competition was just traded, so it looks like his path to backfield dominance is unimpeded. Considering how late Etienne was going in drafts, it’s likely he’s found money for you. If I can transition him plus a Khalil Shakir or Chris Olave for a top wideout like CeeDee Lamb, Drake London or Garrett Wilson, I do so comfortably.”
