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?
Jayden Daniels (QB – WAS)
“The best sell-high heading into the 2025 NFL season is Jayden Daniels. After arguably having the most incredible rookie season ever for a quarterback, Daniels’ ADP is now firmly in the fourth round. That is too high for me, considering players like Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen, who have had multiple MVP-caliber and QB1 seasons. And routinely going in front of Jalen Hurts, who will likely score 10+ times on the ground again, with the tush push not being banned. Daniels is a great talent, but I would prefer to trade him for one of those other quarterbacks or Omarion Hampton, whose perceived value could be down due to Najee Harris returning to practice.”

Tony Pollard (RB – TEN)
“With running mate Tyjae Spears missing at least the first four games of the season to a high ankle sprain, Tony Pollard seems positioned to have a strong start to the season. Last year, when Pollard played at least 50% of snaps, he scored 15.88 PPR points per game when Spears missed, and 12.72 when Spears played. The Tennessee coaching staff has talked about their desire to use both backs, making it likely Spears returns to a similar, if not larger, role than the one he had last year. Should Pollard start hot, I’d be looking to move him for an underperforming back with more projectable volume for the remainder of the season.”

Rashee Rice (WR – KC)
“Rashee Rice is a sell-high candidate heading into 2025, with lingering name value tied to Patrick Mahomes despite now serving a six-game suspension to begin the season. The Chiefs’ receiving corps is now firmly established with Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, Travis Kelce, JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Jalen Royals all competing for targets. Rice’s 2024 breakout was fueled by necessity, but the offense has since shifted toward speed and spacing, making his role far less secure. Missing six games in a fantasy season is a major hit, and Rice will need time to re-establish chemistry and earn back volume in a crowded offense. I’d look to trade him for someone like Courtland Sutton, Tetairoa McMillan, or another younger receiver with a clearer path to early-season production.”
– Lawrence Iacona (Gridiron Experts)
TreVeyon Henderson (RB – NE)
“TreVeyon Henderson. If you did not listen to BEAST DOME, then you likely fell into the trap of someone else telling you to draft TreVeyon Henderson. Antonio Gibson was always the more talented RB, and Rhamondre Stevenson is running like a prime Marshawn Lynch. With the Patriots announcing Henderson as #3 on the depth chart, Sell High now while he still carries name value. If you can pull off a Tony Pollard or another RB in that range, then consider yourself Houdini.”
