Players to Buy Low & Sell High in Week 9
Buy Low
Who is your favorite buy-low trade candidate heading into Week 9 and why? Also, who are you willing to give up for him?
Derrick Henry (RB – BAL)
“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: Get Derrick Henry on your fantasy team. After a rough start to the season, he has now racked up double-digit fantasy points in each of the last two weeks. This week, he faces one of the worst rushing defenses in the league in the Miami Dolphins, and quarterback Lamar Jackson will likely be back, opening up more running lanes for him. Truly, do whatever you can to get Henry on your team; he can be a league winner come playoff time.”

Sell High
Who is your favorite sell-high candidate after Week 8 and why? Also, who would you try to get in return?
Oronde Gadsden II (TE – LAC)
“While fantasy players shouldn’t panic sell high on Oronde Gadsden II, it’s time to explore trade options. The rookie tight end has played well lately, averaging 6.3 receptions on 7.3 targets for 103 receiving yards, 0.7 touchdowns and 20 PPR fantasy points per game over the past three weeks, totaling at least 68 yards and 11.8 fantasy points in every contest. However, he had only had five targets against the Minnesota Vikings last week, his lowest total since Week 5. More importantly, Gadsden’s workload significantly declined after a hot start. The rookie had four targets in the first quarter but saw only one for the rest of the game. Fantasy players should explore trading Gadsden and a startable running back or wide receiver for Brock Bowers.”
– Mike Fanelli (FantasyPros)
“I love Oronde Gadsden and his rise in the Chargers’ attack. He’s been dominant these past three weeks, and a healthy return by the offensive lineman portends more big days from Justin Herbert. But will Gadsden remain that elite option? There are many other mouths to feed with Vidal and eventually Hampton, not to mention the trio of wideouts. In leagues with a true tight end position, he’d have immense value, and I’d be looking to grab a back-end RB1 in return – maybe Kyren Williams or Bucky Irving (selling the games missed due to injury).”
– Mike Harmon (Swollen Dome)
“I’m selling Oronde Gadsden. He has been on an absolute heater over the last three games, totalling 309 yards, 19 receptions, and two scores. However, this offence boasts a lot of talent, and the schedule becomes very challenging. Over their remaining nine games, they play seven top-12 defenses against the tight end position (the Steelers and Jaguars are the exceptions). This includes playing five of the top seven teams against tight ends. Shoot for the moon and see if you can score a big-name tight end, and fall back on a guy like Jake Ferguson coming off a down week.”
– Ellis Johnson (FantasyPros)
Jordan Addison (WR – MIN)
“I’m selling Jordan Addison right now. My issue with Addison is not only his lack of competent quarterback play, especially with Carson Wentz‘s recent injury, but also his boom-or-bust potential. He averages just over five receptions per game and has had two disastrous performances buoyed by touchdowns. Once that regression hits, he’ll be a very volatile option. I think you can sell him for someone more consistent, like Zay Flowers or Chris Olave.”
