Players to Buy Low & Sell High in Week 7
Buy Low
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 Nacua. 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 two. That usage is elite, and it’s only a matter of time before Stafford and he start clicking. He has top-five upside without Nacua, and will be a top-12 option with him. You can likely acquire him for Courtland Sutton or Jaylen Waddle.”

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 in the top 10 among all receivers in first-read share percentage. He’s not finding the end zone, which is why he’s the 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 matchups. If I’m deep at running back, I’d unload Travis Etienne Jr. for him. I would also swap DJ Moore or Marvin Harrison Jr. straight up for Olave.”

Sell High
George Pickens (WR – DAL)
“OK, 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 offense 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 top options such as Ja’Marr Chase or Drake London.”
– Ellis Johnson (FantasyPros)
“Cam Skattebo and Rico 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 back in a week or two, I’m looking to sell 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 third in expected fantasy points scored above expectation (fourth in points per game 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 Nacua injury) or Brian Thomas Jr.”
