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?
Terry McLaurin (WR – WAS)
“Hopefully, fantasy players who drafted Terry McLaurin tempered their expectations for him early in the season. Unfortunately, the former Ohio State star struggled in Week 1, totaling only 4.7 PPR fantasy points against the New York Giants, getting outscored by Casey Washington (6.3) and Tyquan Thornton (6.1). However, his poor performance on Sunday creates a buy-low window for fantasy players. McLaurin was expected to get off to a slow start after missing training camp over his contract dispute. Therefore, don’t expect Deebo Samuel to see six more targets than McLaurin in many more games this year. More importantly, the Commanders have multiple fantasy-friendly matchups over the next several weeks, including against the Las Vegas Raiders, Atlanta Falcons and Dallas Cowboys. I would happily flip Keon Coleman, Keenan Allen or Jakobi Meyers for McLaurin.”

A.J. Brown (WR – PHI)
“My favorite buy-low trade candidate for Week 2 of the 2025 NFL season is A.J. Brown. His Week 1 performance was dismal, with only four receptions for 24 yards, likely due to a lingering hamstring injury and a run-heavy Eagles game plan. This presents a buying opportunity, as Brown’s elite talent and role in a pass-friendly offense should lead to a strong rebound. I expect him to return to top-10 wide receiver production soon. I’d be willing to trade a mid-tier WR2 like Jaxon Smith-Njigba or Terry McLaurin, who may have inflated Week 1 performances, to acquire him. Patience with Brown could pay off handsomely as the Eagles face a tougher schedule.”
– Aaron St Denis (Fantasy Sports Advice Network)
“A.J. Brown is my favorite buy-low trade candidate after a slow start in Week 1. The Eagles’ offense is once again humming, and I refuse to believe that Jahan Dotson is the No. 1 WR. Brown will get back to his efficient, touchdown-scoring ways soon enough. I would move off a younger receiver I do not necessarily believe in, like Xavier Worthy, even if I need to add an additional piece.”
– Chew Russell (Going For 2)
“Realize that the other people in your league are sentient human beings and won’t hand you a good player for next to nothing just because that player had a bad game. That said, it’s worth finding out how panicky the A.J. Brown investor in your league is feeling after he was targeted just once against the Cowboys in Week 1 and had a single eight-yard catch. Brown was a 1,400-yard receiver in 2022 and 2023, and he had 1,079 yards and seven touchdowns in 13 games last year despite playing in the league’s run-heaviest offense. There’s no reason to think the Eagles will pass any less this year (despite what we saw in Week 1), and Brown’s talent is undeniable. See if you can get him for Breece Hall, who had a big Week 1, or Tony Pollard, whose workload will eventually shrink when Tyjae Spears returns from injury.”
– Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros)
“If anyone is panicking about A.J. Brown after his stunning 1-8-0 night in Week 1, try to take him off their hands. Brown will be fine the rest of the way, and is in line for a big Week 2 against the Chiefs. Dallas allowed Philly to dink-and-dunk their way on offense, leaving Brown and fellow receiver DeVonta Smith in the cold. Kansas City will not make that mistake, and Philly will have to open the offense up. If Brown can be had for pretty much anything lower than his draft price, it is the biggest no-brainer right now.”
– Ed Birdsall (Talking Points Sports)
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?
Emeka Egbuka (WR – TB)
“I like Emeka Egbuka, but I’d also be selling high on him after his standout week 1. He hauled in two touchdowns, which is unlikely to happen very often. Mike Evans still leads the team in targets, and Chris Godwin is returning at some point. I’m not selling Egbuka in dynasty, but in redraft, this feels like the right time to cash in on the buzz from preseason and now Week 1.”
