Week 1 is here, which means fantasy managers everywhere are already panicking about their rosters. That shiny draft pick who looked like a league-winner last week? Suddenly, he’s a “what do I do with this guy?” headache. And that waiver-wire dart you laughed at your league mate for grabbing? Yep, he just scored twice. The good news is you don’t have to navigate the emotional rollercoaster alone. Our Featured Pros have put together their early Buy Low, Sell High recommendations to help you steady the ship (or shamelessly abandon it before it sinks). Let’s dive in before next week convinces you your entire roster is cursed.

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?
De’Von Achane (RB – MIA)
“If you have De’Von Achane on your roster, you should shop him immediately. The wheels are about to come off in Miami, and I don’t want any part of it, at least at the top of the ADP pile. Achane’s got a first or second round valuation at the moment, which is wild to me. I’d happily send him away for a lower asset with a bench piece thrown in if I can get that done. Maybe trading down to a player in the D’Andre Swift range, plus an upside bench WR, would make it work. Either way, I’d be happy just to get him off my roster.”

Garrett Wilson (WR – NYJ)
“Garrett Wilson. Justin Fields isn’t the NFL’s best passing QB, and New York doesn’t have a great start to the schedule against the Pittsburgh Steelers. I think you could easily flip him for the Panthers’ No. 1 draft pick, Tetairoa McMillan. Because I’d be concerned that Wilson’s fantasy stock nose dives if the Jets’ passing game struggles in Week 1.”

Alvin Kamara (RB – NO)
“If managers could potentially explore maximizing the name value of Alvin Kamara headed into the season, I would be all over trying to get out of that. The Saints are in tank mode, and while Kamara could be a nice floor player in PPR leagues, the touchdown upside for this entire offense is pretty minimal. There are better candidates, with much higher ceilings, to be your starting RB2 in most fantasy leagues. If Kamara could be sold for a TreVeyon Henderson or an RJ Harvey, two young players with massive ceilings, fantasy managers would be wise to pull the trigger headed into 2025.”

Tee Higgins (WR – CIN)
“This feels like an odd question since the season hasn’t started, and I probably wouldn’t have drafted this player at his ADP, but my sell-high candidate before the season is Tee Higgins. Sure, his per-game stats were fantastic last year, but he had 10 TDs in only 12 games, which was a career high. He’s the clear #2 target on the team and has never cracked 80 receptions or 1,100 yards in a season. So, why is he going behind guys like Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Mike Evans? Evans’ baseline is a Tee Higgins season, and JSN had more receptions and yards last year than Higgins ever has.”
