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?
Jordan Love (QB – GB)
“Perhaps the ship sailed on Sunday night versus Pittsburgh, but it seems there was (and may still be in your league) a chance to pick up Jordan Love on the cheap. He got Christian Watson back and has a bevy of weapons at his disposal. Balance with Josh Jacobs and a strong defense offers a potential monster second half. I’ll look to owners depleted at running back and sell hope with a player like Ashton Jeanty or to past fantasy hero Nico Collins.”

Caleb Williams (QB – CHI)
“Call me crazy, but I’m buying low on Caleb Williams if I need depth. He might hit waivers in 1-QB leagues, so I’m keeping an eye there, but in Superflex leagues, he’s definitely rostered. This means you’ll have to trade for him. Whatever position you’re strongest at is the best place to start. I would try to send a Flex candidate for him to start with, pushing the idea that at least you’ll start a player like Chris Olave or Keenan Allen while Williams struggles on your bench. If they’re through the bye week hell, they might be interested in moving Williams for cheap, given his recent struggles.”

Sell High
Who is your favorite sell-high candidate after Week 8 and why? Also, who would you try to get in return?
Kimani Vidal (RB – LAC)
“Kimani Vidal absolutely destroyed the Minnesota Vikings in Week 8 with 117 yards and a touchdown on 23 carries. He came into the season as an afterthought when the Chargers drafted Omarion Hampton. When Hampton went down, many owners thought Hassan Haskins would take over the lead back role, but Vidal did, and, in that time, he has two weeks of 117+ yards rushing. Hampton will return soon, greatly decreasing Vidal’s value, although he has probably earned himself some sort of committee role. Trade him while his value is high. Try to get a running back who has the backfield to themselves, possibly Javonte Williams, who is still being disrespected/undervalued by many owners, or a running back who should step back into a lead role on his team like Aaron Jones, who just returned from IR and will resume the No. 1 RB role in Minnesota.”
