Players to Buy Low/Sell High in Week 7
Buy Low
Travis Etienne Jr. (RB – JAC)
“Travis Etienne is my buy-low candidate of the week. Over the last couple of weeks, he has put up underwhelming box scores that do not reflect his role as a true workhorse back in the Jags offense. He continues to command a large snap count and remains their undisputed lead back. The recent dip in production opens a brief window to trade for an RB with volume, a rare beast these days. Grab a bargain, go and get yourself a low-end RB1/high-end RB2 for the rest of the season at a cut price.”
– Luke Renton (The Franchise Tag UK)
Javonte Williams (RB – DAL)
“Javonte Williams had a disappointing week 6 with 29 yards rushing and 5 yards receiving in a game where Dallas put up 27 points! Many owners are still sleeping on him even though he is the RB4 in half-PPR this year. He has 3 top 4 or better finishes this year and is the lead back on a high-powered offense. Carolina has a decent run defense, which would explain the down Week 6. Grab Williams before he has the bounce back and his value increases. Offer owners down on him package deals that include players who had spike weeks and are soon to be in committees, like Rico Dowdle, or players filling in for an injured running back, including Kamani Vidal, Zonovan Knight “Bam”, or Rachaad White.”
– Adam Dove (The Fantasy Couriers)
A.J. Brown (WR – PHI)
“A.J. Brown’s stakeholders are no doubt frustrated with the way the season has gone and should be willing to field reasonable offers. Brown is averaging 45.7 receiving yards per game, has one touchdown, and was sitting at WR47 in half-point PPR fantasy points per game as of Monday morning. I’d be willing to offer Alvin Kamara or Travis Etienne for Brown.”
– Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros)
Saquon Barkley (RB – PHI)
“My favorite fantasy football buy-low trade candidate heading into Week 7 is Saquon Barkley (RB-PHI). After his Week 6 Thursday night performance, many a fantasy league manager is regretting taking Barkley as high as they did in fantasy league drafts this year. He has been a top 17 RB in all six games this season. Philadelphia had to play from behind against the New York Giants in week 6, resulting in fewer rushing attempts. You can also inform your league trading partner that Barkley has an upcoming week 9 bye to help you sell the trade offer. I’d be willing to give up a 3rd or 4th round player that is currently exceeding their draft day value.”
– Jeff Boggis (Fantasy Football Empire)
Justin Fields (QB – NYJ)
“Unfortunately, Justin Fields mightily struggled against the Denver Broncos in Week 6, taking nine sacks. The veteran completed 52.9% of his 17 pass attempts for 45 yards and only 4.9 fantasy points, totaling seven rushing attempts for 31 yards. However, most quarterbacks struggle against the Broncos’ elite defense. Meanwhile, Fields has been outstanding in his other three healthy contests this season, averaging 242.3 passing yards, 1.3 touchdowns, and 27.5 fantasy points per game. Furthermore, the former Ohio State star was outstanding in those games on the ground, averaging 8.7 rushing attempts for 51.7 yards and a touchdown per contest. The schedule gets easier for the veteran, with matchups against the Carolina Panthers and Cincinnati Bengals over the next two weeks. If I can sell high on Jaxson Dart or Sam Darnold for Fields, I would do that in a heartbeat.”
– Mike Fanelli (FantasyPros)
Davante Adams (WR – LAR)
“Davante Adams has been good, but not great, this season. With Puka Nacua missing time with an ankle injury, the Adams manager will see the path to increased production. However, there is increased production, and then there is being a top 12 option for the next five games. That’s how I am viewing Adams with or without Puka. Over their next five games, the Rams play beatable secondaries and high-scoring offences. Adams leads the league in red zone targets with 13, but has only caught 2. That usage is elite, and it’s only a matter of time before Stafford and he start clicking. He has top 5 upside without Puka, and will be a top 12 guy with him. You can likely acquire him for Courtland Sutton or Jaylen Waddle.”
– Ellis Johnson (FantasyPros)
Chris Olave (WR – NO)
“Chris Olave is a player I’m interested in acquiring if his current manager is frustrated with his fantasy scores. Through six weeks, he ranks second in targets, fifth in receptions, ninth in air yards, and is top 10 among all WRs in first-read share percentage. He’s not finding the end zone, which is why he’s WR26 in half-PPR. Now is the perfect time to trade for Chris Olave. He faces the Bears, Bucs, Rams, and Panthers before his Week 11 bye, all plus WR matchups. If I’m deep at RB, I’d unload Travis Etienne for him. I would also swap D.J. Moore or Marvin Harrison Jr.straight up for Olave.”
– Kyle Zeigler (Fantasy In Frames)
Courtland Sutton (WR – DEN)
“Courtland Sutton had a down day this past Sunday. Maybe it’s his age or his offense, but people also don’t think Sutton is very good. Just one reception for 17 yards could be enough for fantasy managers to feel like Sutton is on the decline, but his WR13 overall standing this season and his upcoming schedule tell a different story. Thankfully, you might not have to give up a ton to get Sutton. But I’ll give up a Rico Dowdle level of player with inflated production to snag Sutton’s services, likely with a nice piece added on. Straight up, I’d offer Harold Fannin and see if I get a bite.”
– Jeremy Shulman (Fantasy Football Universe)
Kenneth Walker III (RB – SEA)
“I’m probably alone here, but I’m targeting Kenneth Walker III in trades this week. Walker has had a rough few weeks since finishing as RB9 and RB10 in Weeks 2 and 3. He’s finished outside the top 24 RBs every week since, but he’s still getting double-digit carries. He’s just not finding the end zone, which limits his scoring. It’s only a matter of time until that changes, but current managers might be frustrated by his lackluster performance. I’d try to send a bench WR for him to see if I can add an RB to my roster as we head down the stretch and injuries start piling up more than they already are.”
– Andrew Hall (FantasyPros)
Jacory Croskey-Merritt (RB – WAS)
“Any team looking for RB help headed into Week 7 should be looking at BILL (Croskey-Merritt). It wasn’t amazing this week for him against a Bears defense he really should have taken advantage of, but the signs are there that it is full go for Bill. Those who wanted to see the usage continue after his Week 5 breakout, well, you got it. Bill gathered 17 carries, with Jeremy McNichols being the only other running back to register any carries for Washington (2). On top of that, the Commanders face a Cowboys defense next that, quite frankly, can’t stop a nose bleed. If D’Andre Swift, who scored in the Bears’ win over Washington, or either Seattle RB through name value can be used to acquire Bill Croskey-Merritt, do it.”
– Ed Birdsall (Talking Points Sports)
Tee Higgins (WR – CIN)
“My favorite buy-low candidate is Tee Higgins. He’s certainly had a rough start to the season and has struggled to rack up receptions and even targets. Over the last three weeks, Higgins has averaged seven targets a game (up from under 5 in the first three weeks). With a more stable quarterback in Flacco at the helm, he should finally get back to fringe WR2/WR3 status.”
– Trevor Land (FlurrySports)
Isiah Pacheco (RB – KC)
“Alright, I FINALLY know what I want to do with Isiah Pacheco. And that’s buy. No doubt it’s been tough sledding for the Chiefs’ backfield. But Pacheco has looked good the last few weeks. The snap share also continues to climb. 77% in Week 6 (season-high in carries at 12), after a season-high number in Week 5. It’s trending all the way up for Pacheco. Per Next Gen Stats, he had four rushes of 15-plus yards vs Detroit. He had four combined leading up to Week 6. Pacheco also had three targets to Hunt’s one (Brashard Smith drew 4). More importantly, the Chiefs RB had four red-zone carries to Hunt’s one. Hunt had just five routes to Pacheco’s 19 (50%). If the Chiefs offense turns back into a fantasy wagon…I think dumpster diving for Pacheco is a sharp move to make—top-10 ROS schedule for RBs per the FP SOS tool. Trade a bench WR like Jakobi Meyers or an RB such as Tony Pollard for Pacheco.”
