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?
Rashee Rice (WR – KC)
“Rashee Rice is my favorite buy-low. There are a lot of big-name receivers who underperformed in Week 1, but they’ll still be too expensive to buy reasonably. The Kansas City passing offense clearly has a ginormous hole in it, and Marquise Brown is a temporary fix, at best. I expect Rice to hit the ground running, and if he’s not an immediate WR1 upon return, then he’s a high-end WR2 with WR1 upside. If I can get him for DK Metcalf, Chris Olave or Jayden Reed — likely depth pieces who performed decently well in Week 1 — I do it all day. If I need to add a running back, I expect to lose touches like a Tyrone Tracy or Rhamondre Stevenson, that’s fine.”

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?
Christian McCaffrey (RB – SF)
“I doubt I’m alone here, but I’m selling Christian McCaffrey. I’ve been nervous about his injury risk all offseason, and after a great Week 1 performance, now is the time to sell. He received 22 carries, most in the league, and finished as the RB3. This is the kind of production you wanted when you drafted him, so selling now might seem crazy, but give it some thought. If someone out there is holding another back like Saquon Barkley or Jahmyr Gibbs, and you can move McCaffrey for either of those plus a bench piece, I’d definitely consider it based on my roster.”

Keon Coleman (WR – BUF)
“Keon Coleman is the absolute correct answer for selling high. Coleman feasted against the Ravens, but a chunk of his usage was a result of Buffalo being down big and needing to heave their way back into the game. Buffalo won’t be in that position too often in 2025; that, plus the tendency for the Bills to spread the ball around on offense, makes Coleman a very good sell. If Coleman could be used in a package deal to land Terry McLaurin, Mike Evans or TreVeyon Henderson — players that will have better days than what they showed in Week 1 — it is an easy deal to go ahead and do.”
