8 Players to Sell High Week 7 (Fantasy Football)

Week 7 is here, and your fantasy football roster probably looks like a garage sale — some pieces you’re thrilled to have, others you’re desperately trying to unload, and at least one item you’re not sure why you ever thought was a good idea. The good news? There’s still time to flip that clutter into championship-caliber value. Our Featured Pros have assembled their top buy-low and sell-high recommendations to help you make the most of the trade window. Whether you’re eyeing a struggling star about to rebound or cashing out on a player playing over their head, these are the moves that can turn your season around.

Players to Buy Low/Sell High in Week 7

Sell High

Kendrick Bourne (WR – SF)

Kendrick Bourne’s big Week 6 (5 catches for 142 yards, with numbers slightly inflated by two deep shots) creates the perfect sell-high opportunity. While his chemistry with Mac Jones is real, his recent spike in production is a direct result of a severely depleted receiver room. The impending return of key 49ers target-hogs, George Kittle and Ricky Pearsall, will immediately halt Bourne’s recent surge in production. If you can, trade him now to capitalise on his unsustainable WR1 production before the 49ers’ weapons return, and he becomes fantasy irrelevant. It’s only a small window, but now is the time to try and sell high if you can.”

Rico Dowdle (RB – CAR)

Rico Dowdle is on fire! In the last two weeks, he has run for 206 and 183 yards!! Do remember that those games were against the Miami Dolphins and Dallas Cowboys, two of the worst teams against the run. Regardless of how well Dowdle has played, Chubba Hubbard, who was having a pretty good season himself and just signed a big contract, will be returning soon. I do not expect Dowdle to disappear, but I can see this backfield becoming a 50/50 split or even playing the hot hand each game, which could change week to week depending on who has the open hole on an early drive. Rico Dowdle’s value will not be higher than it is now. Trade him for running backs who people are lower on, but have the backfield to themself like Derek Henry (maybe too late), Jacory Croskey-Merritt, Javonte Williams, or plan ahead by trading for an injured back like Bucky Irving, who should be back soon.”
Adam Dove (The Fantasy Couriers)

“Easily, EASILY, Rico Dowdle. In the last two weeks combined, Dowdle has had 53 carries for 389 yards and two total scores. It is a nice story, absolutely, but the reality is Chuba Hubbard will be back for Carolina soon. Will the return of Hubbard make things messy in the Carolina backfield? Absolutely. Carolina PAID Chuba Hubbard last season, so any thought of Dowdle coming in and becoming the new number one back is ridiculous, at best. If Dowdle could be packaged to acquire a Mike Evans, who will be returning this week, or a Derrick Henry, who is on bye, go for it and cash in.”

Quinshon Judkins (RB – CLE)

“Everyone loves a workhorse running back. Personally, I prefer workhorses who play in good offenses. That’s not really the case with rookie Quinshon Judkins, who’s been terrific despite playing for the punchless Browns. Judkins’ early-season magic could dissipate over time. After averaging 5.5 yards per carry in his first two games, Judkins has averaged a more modest 4.1 yards per carry over his last three. Judkins had eight catches in his first three games; he’s had one catch in his last two games, on three targets. And of course, the touchdown outlook is somewhat grim for a running back playing for a team that has scored eight touchdowns in its first five games. If I had adequate RB depth, I’d be willing to trade Judkins for Brian Thomas Jr., Courtland Sutton, or, if I were in rough shape at tight end, Tyler Warren.”

Kimani Vidal (RB – LAC)

“My favorite sell-high candidate after Week 6 is Kimani Vidal (RB-LAC). This is because of several reasons. The first is his Week 6 performance, where he finished with 124 rushing yards, 14 receiving yards, and 1 TD. He’s unlikely to approach these stats again this season. The second is that Miami had allowed the most rushing yards per game, even before its week 6 matchup. He’s going to face tougher opponents in the next three weeks, such as Indianapolis, Minnesota, and Tennessee. The third is that Hassan Haskins can become the hot hand and, at the very least, become a running back by committee with Kimani Vidal. And fourth is that Omarion Hampton could return from the IR as early as week 10, which would force Vidal as nothing more than a bench player on your fantasy roster. I’d even try to get Omarion Hampton in return in a trade of Kimani Vidal!”

Cam Skattebo (RB – NYG)

Cam Skattebo has played well since Tyrone Tracy Jr. suffered a shoulder injury in Week 3, averaging 17.3 rushing attempts for 74 yards, a touchdown, and 20.6 PPR fantasy points per game. The rookie had a three-touchdown performance on Thursday night that likely won many fantasy players their Week 6 matchup. While fantasy players shouldn’t force a team, they should explore sell-high trade offers for the former Arizona State star. Skattebo has averaged 4.29 yards per rushing attempt over the past month, including 3.96 before the Week 6 matchup. Furthermore, Tracy only played 32% of the snaps last week, coming off the injury, getting only four touches. He should see more work the further he gets past the injury. As crazy as it might sound, I would happily trade away Skattebo to land Saquon Barkley or Bucky Irving.”
Mike Fanelli (FantasyPros)

“I’m shopping who? Cam Skattebo, that’s who. I love what he’s done for the Giants, but after that three-touchdown game against Philly, his value has never been higher. He’s got a trip to Denver next, where teams average just 89 rushing yards per game. After that comes a rematch in Philly, likely against Jalen Carter. The Giants also face Green Bay and Detroit, both top-eight defenses in fewest fantasy points allowed to running backs. I’d trade Skattebo for Quinshon Judkins, or even Isiah Pacheco, whose schedule looks glorious. You could even get an extra piece on top.”

George Pickens (WR – DAL)

“Okay, hear me out. George Pickens is one of the hottest receivers in the league and is the perfect sell-high candidate. With six touchdowns in his last five games, things couldn’t be going much better for the first-year Cowboy. However, CeeDee Lamb is returning this week and will step back into the top role on this offense. Plus, Jake Ferguson has become a significant part of this offence and will not disappear in Lamb’s return. The Cowboys also have a tough schedule ahead. This is a great time to try to acquire an elite player who may be injured or underperforming. For example, I would kick the tires on Puka Nacua and Emeka Egbuka, or look to flip for clear #1 options such as Ja’Marr Chase or Drake London.”
Ellis Johnson (FantasyPros)

“Skattebo and Dowdle are the easy answers here, so I’ll dig a little deeper and sell George Pickens. I know he’s been phenomenal, but we all know who CeeDee Lamb is, including his quarterback, Dak Prescott. Jake Ferguson will also continue to see looks, especially in the red zone. Pickens will continue to be a nice WR2 asset for your fantasy squad, but he won’t be the overall WR3. And with Lamb expected to be back in a week or two, I’m looking to get out of Pickens at peak value. I’d move him for James Cook, who hasn’t scored in two weeks, straight up – which could be possible with Cook also on bye this week.”
Jeremy Shulman (Fantasy Football Universe)

George Pickens has been BALLING. But eventually, CeeDee Lamb will return, and that will impact Pickens‘ elite WR1 production. He is currently 3rd in expected fantasy points scored above expectation (4th in PPG above expectation). I want to at least try to sell based on Lamb’s return. I fully acknowledge that this works better in theory than in practice. Still, you should at least put him on the block and entertain some trades. Flip him for Rashee Rice, Davante Adams (Puka injury), or Brian Thomas Jr.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR – SEA)

“Call me crazy, but I bet I could get a HAUL for Jaxon Smith-Njigba right now. He’s coming off two straight WR3 weeks, finishing with 132 and 162 yards respectively and over 27 PPR points both times. I’d be happy to send him in exchange for a package that includes a struggling stud and a flex option. Maybe you could get a player like Ja’Marr Chase back, along with a fringe starter like Bengals teammate Chase Brown. I’d also be happy sending him for Justin Jefferson, who just had his bye, and an injured RB like Omarion Hampton, who should return after a few weeks. It all depends on what the other team has to offer, but that’s something I’m probably targeting in my own leagues this week.”
Andrew Hall (FantasyPros)

Drake London (WR – ATL)

“My favorite sell-high candidate is Drake London. Don’t get me wrong, I think he’ll have a good end to the season, and he is one of the better receivers out there. With that being said, I do expect to start seeing some touchdown regression for London after the last two weeks, and I also can’t bring myself to trust Penix after some pretty lackluster performances this year. I think you can sell him to some league mates as an elite WR1 and get a high WR2 and RB2 for him.”
