Week 1 Buy Low

Who is your favorite buy-low trade candidate heading into the season and why? Also, who are you willing to give up for him?

Mark Andrews (TE – BAL) | Evan Engram (TE – DEN)

“After the relative safety of Bowers, McBride, and Kittle, it’s anyone’s guess who will emerge from the glut of leftover TEs looking to make a name for themselves in 2025. That’s why I’m choosing from two veterans in both dynasty and redraft: Mark Andrews and Evan Engram. Since Andrews seems slightly more palatable to drafters, I’ll focus on the older Engram, who joined his third team this offseason in Denver. Although he’s had injury and production inconsistencies, when on the field and the focus of the offense, Engram has thrived for fantasy. I see little reason why he should be going behind the likes of Sam LaPorta, Travis Kelce, and others, given the upside he possesses. Whether Sean Payton’s Joker or not, Engram is the clear second target in an ascending offense that can serve as a safety valve for developing QB Bo Nix. I just sent Aaron Jones for him yesterday in dynasty, and I’d do it again… in redraft, too.”

Stefon Diggs (WR – NE)

“Stefon Diggs. He’s been undervalued all offseason after tearing his ACL last year, but it was a clean tear with no other ligament or meniscus damage, and Diggs stayed ahead of schedule in his recovery. The veteran receiver will be Drake Maye‘s go-to guy from the start, so this is the time to get Diggs. I think you might be able to get him for an RB3 type like Tyrone Tracy or Jaylen Warren.”
– Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros)

“Stefon Diggs. The price tag is closer to a WR3, but Diggs has the potential to see the target share as a true No. 1. Drake Maye is desperate for a WR to step up, and a healthy Stefon Diggs is ready to take that place. Suppose you made the mistake of drafting an over hyped Rookie such as Travis Hunter, RJ Harvey, or even TreVeyon Henderson. Sell now and get a WR/Flex you can depend on nearly every week of the season.”

Isiah Pacheco (RB – KC)

“My favorite buy-low trade candidate is Isiah Pacheco. A forgotten season in 2024 stemmed from a broken leg in Week 2 that lingered even once he returned. With Rashee Rice suspended for the first six weeks, the Chiefs need Pacheco’s angry running style. For reference, I would trade D.J. Moore to acquire Isiah Pacheco. Moore is an established receiver, but in a crowded room of playmakers in Chicago, his target share could be hampered.”
