Players to Buy Low/Sell High in Week 7
Buy Low
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)
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)
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.”

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.”
– Luke Renton (The Franchise Tag UK)
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.“
– Andrew Erickson (FantasyPros)
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.”
