The Featured Pros have weighed in with their favorite Buy Low and Sell High candidates, helping you know when to swoop in like a savvy trader…or when to cash out before your “stud” turns back into a pumpkin.

Fantasy Football Week 4 Buy Low & Sell High

Players to Buy Low Week 4

Who is your favorite buy-low trade candidate heading into Week 4 and why? Also, who are you willing to give up for him?

Roschon Johnson (RB – CHI)

“Roschon Johnson is a player I’m really intrigued by. The Bears’ running back room has been underwhelming to start the season, despite their offensive line boasting a top-15 run-blocking grade, per Pro Football Focus (PFF). During his final collegiate season, Johnson recorded the highest elusive rating in his class at 198, compared to Bijan Robinson‘s 169.1. You may be able to pick up Johnson off waivers in most leagues; otherwise, you can likely trade a fringe roster player to get him.”

Players to Sell High Week 4

Who is your favorite sell-high candidate after Week 3 and why? Also, who would you try to get in return?

T.J. Hockenson (TE – MIN)

“The Minnesota Vikings blew out the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday. Yet, their offense was far from great, as their defense played a massive role in the team’s victory. T.J. Hockenson scored 15.9 PPR fantasy points, totaling five receptions on six targets for 49 receiving yards and a touchdown. However, his touchdown came late in the blowout. More importantly, the veteran tight end saw only one more target than Jalen Nailor. By comparison, Hockenson had four receptions on seven targets for 27 receiving yards, zero touchdowns and 6.7 fantasy points over the first two weeks. Fantasy players need to sell high on the veteran while they can. The Bengals have an awful defense. Furthermore, J.J. McCarthy will be back under center soon, and Jordan Addison will make his season debut in Week 4. I would happily trade Hockenson for Juwan Johnson.”

Ashton Jeanty (RB – LV)

“Ashton Jeanty’s stock is crashing at a record rate. What was once a late-first-round/second-round value, you are now only getting pennies on the dollar. Take the pennies. Jeanty looks small and nowhere close to a running back who can dominate a game like Adrian Peterson. Trade Jeanty for any starting back that has the job to himself. The Raiders suck, and the faster you can jump off the Jeanty train, the happier your season will turn out.”
