Fantasy Football Trade Advice: Alvin Kamara, A.J. Brown, Romeo Doubs

Week 5 is here, and by now, some fantasy football teams look like championship contenders while others resemble a clearance rack at a discount store. The good news? It’s not too late to wheel and deal. Whether you’re trying to buy low on an underperformer before they bounce back, or cashing out on a player whose hot streak looks more like smoke than fire, our Featured Pros have you covered. Here’s who the experts think you should be targeting — and who you should be shopping — before the Week 5 slate kicks off.

Players to Buy Low & Sell High in Week 5

Buy Low

Who is your favorite buy-low trade candidate heading into Week 5 and why? Also, who are you willing to give up for him?

Alvin Kamara (RB – NO)

“It has been meh thus far for Alvin Kamara, with most of the mixed results not being his fault. The Saints’ offense just does not score enough for Kamara to produce monster games anymore, but could that change? The Saints gave 23-year-old Kendre Miller more work this week, and while Kamara still got his usual workload, Miller had more success on the ground. For a team that is rebuilding, does giving a 30-year-old touches over an unproven 23-year-old make much sense? Or would the Saints rather see what they have in Miller? Kamara could become an interesting trade deadline target for NFL teams if the Saints are willing to move on, and taking a chance on that unknown is particularly intriguing *cough, cough, Kansas City.* If Kamara could be had for someone such as D’Andre Swift or David Montgomery, I’d take the plunge and pray Kamara gets a move out of NOLA.”

A.J. Brown (WR – PHI)

“In his three previous seasons with the Eagles, A.J. Brown has finished as the half-PPR WR12, WR11 and WR7 on a points per game (PPG) basis. Philadelphia is currently last in the NFL in passing yards per game (152.3); it is likely they will remain run-heavy but could still improve substantially, even just to last season’s rate of 206.9 yards per game, which ranked 30th in the league. Per PlayerProfiler, Brown’s target share has dropped a bit from 2024 — 34.4% to 29.5% — but he still ranks sixth in the NFL. Let’s not forget Brown missed some time during the preseason with a hamstring injury; his slow start may have a little something to do with that as well. I’d still be willing to pay a fairly high price for Brown, and value him as a fringe WR1/WR2 going forward.”

Sell High

Who is your favorite sell-high candidate after Week 4 and why? Also, who would you try to get in return?

Romeo Doubs (WR – GB)

“Find a taker for Romeo Doubs. After a career three-touchdown game versus Dallas, Doubs will go back into a rotation where his week-to-week floor will be unstable and his ceiling will be unknown. This performance stems from the Cowboys’ defensive ineptitude, not Doubs emerging as the unquestioned number one option in the passing game for the Packers. If Doubs could be moved to acquire anything remotely equalling a safe, steady RB2/WR3, do it and capitalize.”
